The Predator’s Contract Partner

Chapter 251: Tpcp 251

“I’m sorry. I can’t tell you that.”

Sophie responded while looking at her.

“…… We’re in the capital, right?”

“First of all, this is not our main residence. It’s a hideout prepared by the High General in case of emergencies.”

“You mean dungeon.”

“Dungeon? The general put so much effort into creating this space. All measures taken for the esteemed wife’s safety–“

“Why are you bragging about that man being a pervert?”

Elisha felt as if something inside her mind flew away. Externally, her expressionless face was still the same, but inside, her seething anger was boiling over.

Since when did he start preparing for this? She knew he was a lunatic. She admitted that she had let her guard down recently because she thought they were getting close. It made her feel sick to her stomach.

‘In the end, he is just like any other Cartier.’

Chronic suspicion of others. And regaling her like a card to be used and thrown away. Treating people as property. If there was even the slightest mistake, being dealt with harshly and coercively. It was all typical of a member of the Cartier house.

Elisha rubbed her forehead.

“What happened in the Dukedom? I-I vomited blood….”

“The doctors and healers removed the poison while the lady was unconscious. The healing priests arrived on time.”

Elisha realized why she felt so little pain when she opened her eyes. Right now, there was nothing except the feeling of every muscle in her body stretching.

“When Madam lost consciousness, the general was wildly angry. No matter how many times the doctor and priest told him that ma’am would be fine….. . But the general did not calm down.”

Sophie continued to look at her and said,

“The whole story was revealed within an hour. Pansy went to the rose garden that morning. And the rose petals that were to be delivered to the lady were doused with poison.”

“So?”

“He cut Carola down. He then slashed off Pansy’s head in front of the Duke and threw it into the main hall of the Duke’s house. And then Mimosa.”

She spoke in a tiny, soft voice. The duchy’s halls were covered in blood and a sight to behold.

Elisha’s face turned pale.

“The three heads rolling…..”

“……….”

“The truth is, Carola died a bit more horribly. Did you notice? Are you not satisfied? Oh, as expected. She should have been spared by the general. Ma’am should have taken revenge yourself!”

Sophie looked at Elisha’s expression and added quietly. She seemed to interpret her expression however she pleased.

“…….stop.”

Elisha felt like she was about to be sick. She frowned.

“And he was very angry with the Lord, too. His wife got hurt while he was away for a while. So……. He said he would hold the Head accountable.”

“Crazy bastard,”

Elisha commented harshly.

“It’s because he values his wife so much.”

“I guess you want to say sweet words to me instead of the last meal before I die, right?”

“What?”

Sophie’s eyes widened.

“I guess this is where I will die, huh?”

After the hunt is over, hunting dogs are often disposed of. Elisha thought that Lucerne would be different. He at least valued his knights. But perhaps she should change that assessment.

He wasn’t a man with whom she could negotiate with.

Lucerne didn’t believe her. She said she would make him the patriarch, but he had never trusted her abilities to make him Gaju.

‘No, he may not have had any intention of becoming the head of the family in the first place.’

Elisha bit her lip. Lucerne said he wanted to be Gaju. But what if his desire for vengeance was stronger than his desire for power? If so, Elisha had grabbed a rotten rope from the beginning.

Unless Lucerne had any intention of becoming the Head. The contract itself was invalid.

‘Do you think it’s fair to use me this much?’

Eliminate Marco and his wife. Get rid of Carola. Lucerne may have decided to use her just for that purpose.

He wouldn’t be able to let her go. Elisha already knew too many of his secrets. Did he ever intend to divorce in the first place?

“It can’t be! No, Madam will now be thoroughly protected here. There will be no shortage of hospitality.”

“………”

Elisha’s eyes grew cold.

“He means to use me until the very end, huh?”

“Yes?”

“He’s still stocked full of libdo, so I guess he’ll keep me alive.”

“It’s not that bad if you take it that way.”

Sophie was startled. She hadn’t noticed that Lucerne was standing in the doorway. She quickly stood up and stepped back. She walked out of her room without making a sound. Elisha wanted to laugh at the sight.

“It’s nice to see you thinking about the future so positively. Starting today, shall we get along and do some perverted things together?”

Elisha glared at Lucerne with a cold face.

“How do you maintain your position as a general by treating your loyal subjects like this?”

“Are you a loyal subject?”

Lucerne laughed.

“I’ve been zealously ramming and fucking hammering my loyalist then.”
