Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess! Chapter 481 - 258: The Wedding Day (15,000 Words) (Part 2)

Lynn’s lips curled into a smile, "As you said earlier, I felt the incredibly intense malice and ill-will from the World Will directed at me. Logically, I should have died in some conspiracy as it wished, yet I survived and am doing quite well."

"And this young lady..." Lynn’s eyes fell on Hillena, "is someone entirely opposite to me."

"If I am the Cursed, forsaken by the World Will, then she is the Divine’s chosen, blessed by the World Will. Logically, she should be by the side of another chosen one, yet she was defiled by a lowly scoundrel like me."

"This is the reason for the World Will’s wrath."

At this point, Lynn and Hillena’s eyes met, and a hint of bitterness flashed between them.

Yet Hillena stood there, stunned.

During this time, though she tacitly allowed Lynn’s numerous transgressions, she had always harbored doubts, never understanding why Lynn did those things to her.

Now that the truth was out and she knew the answer, she found it utterly absurd.

All these inexplicable labels—being the Cursed, being the chosen one—who imposed them?

Why should the World Will decide who she belongs to? And for defying its will, would divine wrath descend?

As she thought of this, Hillena’s face suddenly turned extremely pale, a wave of indescribable pain struck, seemingly tearing at her brain.

She clutched her temples and staggered back until she collided heavily with the cold stone wall, then she crouched at the corner, her eyes filled with pain mixed with anger.

"What’s wrong?" Lynn hurriedly moved forward to support her shoulders.

"I’m fine..." Hillena gently freed herself from his hand, appearing somewhat resistant to Lynn.

Because her hair was disheveled, Lynn couldn’t clearly see her expression, but he could feel a shift in the atmosphere.

At least, judging from Hillena’s attitude toward him, she seemed a bit cold.

After a moment of silence, Hillena asked quietly, "So it’s true, what you said that day, that all this was just to use me to disgust my fiancé, that guy called Xiya."

Though Hillena had lost her memory, she retained her wit, quickly figuring out Lynn’s intention nearly instantly.

If mere close contact could invoke punishment from the World Will, bringing down thunder, then what if he fully possessed her?

If such an act would truly anger the World Will, it would be tantamount to desecrating the Divine.

At that point, the thunderous divine retribution from the heavens would surely carry the power to shatter the dimensional barriers enveloping this world.

In fact, Hillena wasn’t wrong; Lynn indeed had such thoughts from the beginning.

He once plotted to trigger the World Will’s wrath by taking Hillena’s maidenhood, thereby breaking the barriers.

It was unfortunate that only at that moment did Hillena suddenly understand his true intentions.

Faced with her questioning, Lynn remained silent for a long time, then finally spoke calmly, "Yes, from the second day I arrived in this world, I foresaw this day would e."

"..."

After hearing Lynn’s reply, Hillena ultimately said nothing, just lowering her head and leaving, disheartened.

Watching her departing figure, Lida, who knew nothing of what had happened between Lynn and Hillena, patted Lynn’s shoulder, "Don’t be too downhearted, tonight Morol City is hosting a grand bonfire festival, you must e."

"And as for the two options I mentioned earlier, there’s no rush, take your time to consider, regardless of the ultimate decision, we will respect your choice."

...

As night fell, a soaring bonfire ignited at the central square of Morol City.

The city was filled with exceptionally beautiful women of the Demon Clan, adorned in exotic dance skirts and sandals made from purple crystal, gracefully dancing to the rhythm of ancient war drums.

Every household brought out their treasured delicacies to entertain esteemed guests Lynn and Hillena, though in Lynn’s eyes, these foods were hardly palatable, even difficult to swallow.

So he retrieved some of the food he had prepared earlier from his Space Ring, including some fresh-looking pork and beef, and he even brought some seasonings.

Thus, Lynn prepared a sumptuous barbecue feast for the Demon Clan women, prisoners of this Otherworld cage. Initially, these women were still apprehensive of the lesson Lynn had shown them during the day, but they quickly succumbed to the temptation of the food; for the first time in their lives, they tasted such delicious food, eating with tears of joy.

Watching them relish the feast, Lynn chuckled, holding up wine made from Divine Tree Juice, sitting alone on a stone stool, drinking by himself.

Although the scene was lively, due to the language barrier and the unpleasant incident with Hillena during the day, he had little interest in enjoying the festival.

Who knows how long had passed, but as Lynn drank alone, being slightly tipsy, a familiar fragrance wafted over, and Hillena, in a long golden robe, quietly appeared beside him.

To Lynn’s surprise, she seemed to have returned to her usual posure, with no trace of the daytime’s disheartened state.
