I Won't Accept Your Regrets

Chapter 116

The night sky was covered with a web of lightning. Thunder rumbled.

Even though the hour was already late, Lisa did not go to bed, but was killing time by reading a book.

"Rain can put out a fire."

There was a knock at the door.

There was only one person who was allowed to appear at such a late hour.

"Come in."

When Lily entered, Lisa closed the book.

"Is it done?"

She sent Lily out into the fields to oversee the work with her own eyes.

The plan was just perfect.

Lure Ellie and her son into the mansion, posing as the heir of Drua, and burn them alive there.

Even their bodies will not be found among the fire.

And no evidence.

Lily bowed to Lisa, who was expecting a pleasant answer.

"My lady, something is off course."

"What's wrong? Rain?"

"Everything went according to plan until we threw Ellie Croft and her companions into the mansion and set it on fire. But as it was all over, the emperor suddenly appeared."

"The Emperor?

"Yes. He threw himself straight into the flames and carried Ellie and Carlisle in his arms."

"I threw myself into the flames..."

He jumped straight into the fire to save Ellie.

Lisa broke down and burst out laughing.

Did he risk his life for someone else's child?

But what a great love all the same!

Who was Ellie for whom Raymond threw himself into the fire?

Something did not appear behind him such feats in those days when Lisa had a relationship with him.

Or else it would not have gone west at all.

However, it was too late for regrets. But looking inside, it seems that there was still a feeling that Lisa could not reject.

But these feelings are useless.

Lisa smiled and asked Lily:

"Has His Majesty taken Ellie Croft and the child?"

"Yes. They went to the imperial palace."

"Do you think those two survived?"

"They suffered immensely while sitting in the house, but... I don't think they will die soon."

Even if the whole game deviated from the script, it would be better if these two died.

Lisa jumped up from her seat, unable to hide her impatience.

If the emperor personally made a move, it means that the commander of the 4th corps has already started pursuing the mercenaries.

Under the blow came the woman he loved enough to risk death by fire. So now Raymond will break through to the bitter end.

And it will tear all those involved to shreds.

"Lily, you planted all the evidence at Duke Drua, didn't you?"

"Yes. The mercenaries will point a finger at Drua, and the person who wrote the message has already been eliminated."

In the worst case, if something went wrong, all evidence leads to the house of Drua.
