My Destiny To Be Loved By The Villains[part 2 ]

Chapter 152: Intrusion

༺ Intrusion ༻

"Your Excellency the Chancellor, please allow me to be fraink."

Eleanor, who had only been listening to Sullivan this whole time, spoke in a flat tone.

She had just heard that she was the cause of the chaos that was happening worldwide, but her reaction was unexpectedly dull.

"Firstly, I can understand your claim that the trigger of this situation had been triggered by me."

"..."

As soon as the word 'claim' came out of her mouth, the edge of the Chancellor's mouth twitched.

Eleanor said it in a flat tone, but the meaning of her words were clear; 'Everything that you said is just your own opinion'.

As if to say that such moral condemnation wouldn't really affect her...

Then, she uttered her next words in the same tone.

"However, what does that have to do with my relationship with Dowd?"

For the first time, Sullivan's smile disappeared from her face.

"...I'm sure that you aren't ignorant of the severity of the situation, Lady Tristan."

The Chancellor continued in a stiff voice.

"Those associated with Devils will be treated as enemies of the entire continent. This isn't limited to the Devil Worshippers, but every human who's involved."

"I am aware of that."

Eleanor replied, tilting her head slightly.

"So what about it?"

"..."

"Nothing has been decided yet, so you can dictate nothing to me regarding this matter. This is something that should be decided between Dowd and myself. Third parties have no right to say on the matter."

Now, she didn't even bother to address her with 'Your Excellency'.

Despite her calm, serene speech, her face was more expressionless than usual, save for the glint in her red eyes. It made it as if she was trying to suppress something.

"...I won't be so sure about that, Lady Tristan."

Sullivan replied with a voice so cold that it could probably freeze the water just by her talking.

"I am confident that your mere existence would bring harm to this man, so I do not think it's unreasonable for me to have a say in this."

"..."

"Even you yourself are aware of this, aren't you?"

Sullivan's golden eyes sunk deeply.

"There's a high chance that this man will get swept up by something bad because of you. Something very, very dangerous."

Hearing her words, Eleanor's body turned stiff.

This meant that she couldn't find any words to refute her.

She bit her lip hard enough for it to bleed, but only for a moment before she started speaking again.

"...If the assumption that you have uttered is true, whether I'll be there or not, that danger would come anyway, no?"

"Only the foolish who'd suffer the consequences first because of their inability to differentiate between truth and lies, Lady Tristan. Well, you are free to think how you like, but..."

A cold sneer followed Sullivan's words.

"I have to say that you look quite pathetic."

Eleanor's eyebrows twitched.
