Chapter 193
I pressed my lips together with deliberate force.
I wanted to laugh mockingly before him, to humiliate him with unbridled scorn, but I restrained myself.
An opportunity like this would not come again.
This would be my last chance to utterly crush Orsini, to break him again and again.
“…Truth be told, I don’t want to stay here anymore.”
I feigned a melancholic expression and broached the subject.
“I never wanted this hasty marriage.”
“…”
“If I run away, where would I go?”
I asked with a cold smile playing at my lips.
Surely he hadn’t anticipated such a response.
Perhaps that’s why Orsini’s lips trembled.
“Anywhere. Wherever you wish.”
“But House of Adis will surely track me down.”
“I can evade them.”
“Can you?”
“I can.”
He lunged forward desperately, like a starving beast seizing its prey.
I watched as Orsini’s face flushed crimson, then rose from my seat. The rustle of my voluminous gown whispered against the air.
As I approached slowly, his chest heaved with labored breathing. His fists clenched and unclenched in rapid succession.
I felt it.
Every nerve in Orsini’s body was focused entirely on me.
He was acutely aware of my every expression, every word, every gesture, every movement—missing nothing.
“You won’t make me suffer, will you?”
“Never.”
“Can I trust you?”
“You can…”
Orsini’s voice wavered faintly, almost as though touched by moisture.
I bit my lip to stifle my laughter.
No. I couldn’t laugh here.
With an opportunity like this, I couldn’t possibly end it so soon.
The higher one climbs, the more it hurts to fall.
So just a little more, just a little more…
I rested my face against Orsini’s firm chest, and he exhaled a sound somewhere between a moan and a sigh.
His trembling fingers touched my shoulder. He embraced me with such careful tenderness, as though handling fragile glass that might shatter at any moment.
Or rather, he tried to embrace me.
Just before I could nestle into his arms.
I shoved hard against his chest and rejected him.
“Are you a fool?”
“….”
“Deceived again?”
When I lifted my head, I met a pair of emerald eyes as if freshly awakened from a dream.
I twisted my lips into a smile.
“If you told me to choose between a poisoned bottle and you, what do you think I’d pick?”
“….”
“Well? Tell me. What do you think I’d choose?”
He didn’t answer.
But the anticipation hovering across his face, that meager happiness, began to crack and splinter.
I smiled.
“I’d rather drink poison and die than be with you.”
And finally, I witnessed it.
His eyes, his heart, shattering into countless fragments.
‘Wow. Look at this bastard.’
He was genuinely hurt.
I couldn’t suppress my laughter. A cruel pleasure washed over me like a chill.
This arrogant, insolent wretch—wounded so deeply he couldn’t even hide it.
“You’re free to feel whatever you want, but you should still consider the other person. If you say things like that, I’ll suffer nightmares for the rest of my life, yet you show me no consideration whatsoever.”
My tongue was a blade now. I cut and pierced him without mercy.
Watching Orsini’s eyes glisten with pain, I continued wielding my blade.
“Don’t tell me you actually love me?”
Seeing him unable to answer, I made a nauseated expression.
“Don’t mistake it for such a noble emotion. You just want to sleep with me.”
“…What?”
Finally, he reacted for the first time. His voice was completely fractured.
“What did you say?”
“You like my appearance, don’t you? So… yes, it’s just lust. Do you know how you look to me right now?”
I giggled and tapped his rigid cheek lightly.
“Like a dog in heat. That’s all.”
“….”
“Even if we weren’t blood relatives, I’ve lived as your sister for nearly my entire life, and you harbor such feelings… You’re no better than a beast. It’s disgusting.”
In truth, contrary to my words, I was delighted.
I was happy. So very happy.
Whether he lusted after me or loved me, I didn’t care what emotion it was.
I was simply happy that he still wanted me.
And because of that, I could crush him with mere words.
I had a premonition.
‘Orsini will never forget this moment for the rest of his life.’
Just as I never forgot the moments he tormented me in childhood.
If Orsini was an eternal wound to me, then I wanted to be immortal agony to him.
“…Yes.”
After a thorny silence, Orsini answered. He dragged his hand across his face and muttered.
“I know exactly what you’re thinking.”
Surprisingly, his voice remained composed.
As if he had foreseen all this tragedy.
“Of course you do.”
But as always, anticipating pain did nothing to diminish it.
“This is the end, Kanna Adis.”
He had come to this place to close the final chapter.
“I will never seek you out again.”
To end the agony that rivaled death itself, he had hurled himself into hell.
In this moment, Orsini’s face was resolute.
“So don’t you ever appear before me again. When that time comes, I will….”
He could not finish and sealed his lips shut.
He swallowed down countless words and emotions whole.
Inward, to the deepest depths below….
When he lifted his head again, his face had returned to its usual mask.
“Congratulations on your marriage.”
A hollow, empty shell of words. That was the end.
Orsini seized Kanna Adis’s hand and lowered his lips toward her fingers, but stopped short of touching her skin.
Only his warm breath reached her fingertips.
Nothing more.
“….”
Orsini released Kanna Adis’s hand and turned his back. He opened the door and departed.
The exit of Orsini Adis.
* * *
“Are you unharmed?”
The moment Orsini left, Ren burst in for some reason. He looked displeased.
“That bastard didn’t do anything violent again, did he?”
“…No.”
Joy was fleeting.
Kanna Adis felt oddly deflated and murmured.
“I was the one who did something violent.”
“Pardon?”
“I tore something.”
“What?”
Who knows. Something had certainly torn, but what exactly was it?
Perhaps his sincerity?
‘How absurd. What sincerity could Orsini possibly have?’
Kanna Adis shuddered and immediately rejected the notion.
Pure love? That’s ridiculous.
Why had such an ill-fitting word even crossed my mind?
‘It can’t be. There’s no way he genuinely cares for me.’
I employed a highly effective method—summoning memories of young Orsini.
A savage, violent child.
Instantly, my mind settled into ease.
Pure love? The very thought made me feel like an utter fool.
Besides, Orsini deserved such contempt.
‘If only he were like Kalen, having lost everything—memories, name, identity itself….’
Then perhaps I’d have treated him with a shred of humanity.
I fixed my gaze upon Ren, then reached out my hand.
His white hair was softer than I’d expected. I found this silver quite pleasing—so different from the bloodline of House of Adis.
“What are you doing? Petting me like a dog? If you want to continue, pay up.”
“I won’t.”
This insufferable mercenary. I withdrew my hand.
Ren looked me over from head to toe, then applauded.
“You are beautiful.”
“Am I?”
“Yes, truly a beautiful bride. I’m tempted to tear apart the groom.”
What a vicious jest. I clicked my tongue and glared at him.
“Listen, mercenary. Mind your words. This is the Royal Palace. Someone might hear and have you arrested for insulting the royal family.”
“But what can I do when I speak the truth? Prince Lorenzo is truly blessed. To have you so easily….”
Ren continued with a smile, but suddenly fell silent. Then he laughed casually.
“It was a joke. I have no interest in whom you marry.”
….
“Whoever you marry, such things….”
The door opened, and maidservants entered, fussing that it was time and hurrying me away.
Ren watched the departing bride with a smile. He murmured softly to himself.
“Yes. Such things don’t matter. Whoever you marry….”
No matter what man you wed.
I will always.
Be by your side.
Sister.
