Chapter 126
At Helios’s final words, the sound of several people walking towards her room could be heard. Psyche leaned against the head of the bed and glanced nervously towards the door. The footsteps were getting closer.
‘…So they didn’t abandon Ruon. They were just waiting for the right moment.’
As soon as she sensed the presence of someone approaching the door, she pretended not to notice and poured water from the pitcher. Then, a knock sounded. Without waiting for an answer, the door opened, and the men walked in.
“Phrena, hello.”
Helios was the first to enter.
“Did you sleep well?”
Suddenly, Psyche realized something. Serdin wasn’t there.
“Looking for someone? Serdin?”
Helios, who had already come close, looked down at her with a soft smile.
“He said he needs some time alone. He’s losing his mind because of someone.”
Psyche’s lips twitched, then she pressed them tightly together and placed the cup she was holding on the side table. She had expected Serdin not to come, but seeing with her own eyes that he really wasn’t there left her with a strange feeling.
“You look fine. Seems like you can handle three of us easily.”
Another voice came from nearby. Reflexively, she raised her gaze and locked eyes with Rezus.
“I thought you made the right choice… but it seems you’re about to do something you’ll regret.”
Psyche tried to sound strong, but her trembling voice betrayed her. Rezus cut her off mercilessly, effortlessly pinning her down on the bed with a twisted smile.
“Something I’ll regret, huh?”
As soon as Psyche showed signs of trying to push him away, Rezus grabbed her slender wrists with one hand and pressed them firmly against the bed. Her expression hardened.
“Why do you think I’ll regret it, Psyche?”
He twisted his lips into a crooked smile.
“Aren’t you overestimating yourself too much? To me, you’re just a stress-relief woman. All you need to do is please me with that pretty body of yours.”
“…….”
“Why would I regret relieving my stress with a stress-relief woman? Doesn’t that make sense?”
“Trash……”
“And what does that make you, who’ve come undone under this trash so many times, Psyche?”
Psyche bit her lower lip tightly and glared at him. He slowly lowered his head, bringing his lips close to her ear, and whispered with feigned tenderness.
“If you can’t take it, just say the word. I’ll stop right away.”
Just one word. All it would take was one word—betraying Mathes. With sweet, honeyed words, his soft tongue delved deep into her ear.

Psyche woke up with a grimace on her face. Her entire body screamed in pain from how roughly the three men had taken her. After a warm shower, she felt slightly better.
She gulped down two glasses of cool water and dried her hair. Just as she was almost done, someone knocked on the door. She instinctively knew it was Serdin.
“……Come in.”
With her permission, Serdin entered the room, pushing a trolley. It seemed he had brought her a meal. Psyche placed the towel on the side table and watched as he headed toward the dining area.
Serdin’s expression was visibly unwell. Even though he must have known she was looking at him, he didn’t spare her a single glance.
After placing the dishes on the table, he immediately tried to leave the room. She impulsively spoke up.
“……This time.”
His steps halted abruptly at the door.
“Why didn’t you join in?”
A brief silence followed. The man, who had been standing motionless, slowly turned his head. A bitter smile hung on his lips.
“What, do you think I didn’t join because I was being considerate of you?”
He spoke mockingly.
“Don’t get the wrong idea. I didn’t join because I wasn’t interested.”
“…….”
“I don’t get hard for you anymore. If I can’t even get it up, what am I supposed to do?”
Psyche looked at Serdin with a complicated expression. Like the other family heads, Serdin was just another piece of trash.
But perhaps because he was the least terrible among them. Or maybe because, despite his harsh words, she could sense that he was actually being considerate of her. She didn’t want to let him leave like this.
Carefully, she parted her lips.
“……I know that’s your way of being considerate.”
For a moment, his expression stiffened.
“Finishing quickly when we’re together… that’s also because you were being considerate of me, right?”
“…….”
“……Thank you.”
For a moment, a spark flickered in his eyes.
“Considerate? Thank you? Ha……”
He covered his eyes with his palms and took a deep breath. When he removed his hands, his eyes were devoid of any emotion.
“I told you, I don’t regret having you.”
