The Revenge Kidnapping Drama's Transmigrated Female Lead - Chapter 91
Taking his silence as resignation, Psyche’s face contorted as she shouted.
“Even if there really is no way, even if he’s as good as dead……! Shouldn’t you still try to save him somehow? He’s your only family left in the world!”
“Your brother abandoned you too.”
“……!”
“I’ve simply given up too. Because there’s no way to save him right now.”
Deep sorrow filled her amethyst eyes that had been gleaming brilliantly. Was her show of strength until now a lie? Had being abandoned by Zephyros left such a deep scar? Her wounded expression momentarily led to such thoughts. Looking down at her with deepened eyes, Rezus lowered his head and cupped her cheek.
“You asked if I was venting my anger.”
It was an unbelievably gentle touch.
“Would this appease my anger? With just, this?”
Her shoulders flinched at his voice, as gentle as his touch. Psyche looked up at him with softened eyes.
‘Please, even a little, pity me.’
Through the original story, she knew Rezus had already given up on his brother. Of course, she also knew Zephyros had no intention of saving her. Yet she pretended to know nothing, acting wounded by this fact, because she hoped Rezus would project Ruon onto her.
Seeing herself deeply empathizing with Ruon, she hoped that when he looked at her, he would see not his enemy’s sister, but his only brother.
‘So you gradually become drawn to me this way.’
And so, she hoped that even if Zephyros provoked him further, he wouldn’t be able to do anything more cruel. After slowly closing and opening her eyes, Psyche carefully asked.
“……Then, why are you doing this?”
“My offer stands. Act as we say.”
He added while slowly caressing her cheek.
“If you can’t act, then at least tell me your brother’s main ability and weakness. Then I swear in the name of Fredier that I won’t do such things to you anymore.”
She shuddered. What was his intention with such an offer?
Wanting to know Zephyros’s main ability and weakness meant he was preparing for war.
While First Class could handle most abilities to some degree, they couldn’t control them as freely as their main ability. Also, no matter how strong they were, there was always one ability they absolutely couldn’t handle – that was their weakness.
Therefore, to win a war, identifying the enemy’s main ability and weakness was crucial.
‘……In the original story, there was never a scene like this where they tried to persuade the female lead to betray Mathes.’
While both Mathes and Arje tormented their hostages, they were also preparing for war by secretly investigating each other’s main abilities and weaknesses. Though it couldn’t have been easy to discover, the male leads had never mentioned even a syllable of main abilities in front of Psyche.
‘Even without going through me, they must have other ways to find out, so why make this offer? Of course, since my attitude changed, it’s natural for their attitude to change too, but……’
Whatever Rezus’s intention was, she couldn’t accept the offer. After hesitantly moving her lips, Psyche pretended ignorance and asked.
“……Are you preparing for war?”
Rezus just looked down at Psyche for a long while without answering. As confusion settled in her eyes under his unreadable gaze, his lips parted.
“Psyche, Arje and Mathes have never not been at war, not for a single moment. One day, I had such a thought. This insufferable war will only end when one side is completely destroyed.”
“……”
“I intend to end the war in my generation, to prevent more victims. Even if it means our complete annihilation.”
“……”
“Betray Mathes. Then I’ll ensure you alone can live safely and abundantly after the war ends.”
Psyche’s fingertips trembled faintly. Perhaps there was a reason he was the leader. Rezus’s gaze was gentle yet powerful, his voice carrying a strange force that made one want to comply. If she hadn’t known about gaining strength through intercourse, perhaps she would have fallen for him right there.
“……No, Rezus. I can’t do that.”
She lowered her gaze to hide that she had wavered for a moment.
“It’s true that I resent my brother…… But still. I cannot betray Mathes.”
“You don’t have to betray him. Just pretend to, and I promise we won’t touch you anymore.”
“……That’s still a form of betrayal. I cannot do that.”
Her voice was firm. Rezus’s gaze turned frighteningly cold as he looked down at her, but Psyche didn’t see it with her lowered eyes. He silently sneered.
It’s true that she holds a grudge against her brother but can’t even bring herself to even fake it, huh? This was the moment that made it clear Psyche was playing games.
