“Do you know what your face looks like right now, Serdin? Exactly like someone who’s fallen head over heels in love and doesn’t know what to do.”

She blinked rapidly. A face of someone who’s fallen in love and doesn’t know what to do…? In front of her, Serdin had only been expressionless, so what kind of face was he making now?

“Losing your mind over a few words like that… it’s kind of disgusting to watch.”

“…….”

“What did she say again…? That she’s been able to endure this place because of you? You don’t actually believe that, do you? She probably thinks you’re a lunatic behind your back. Ah, maybe she even thinks you’re the most disgusting among us? How ugly do you think you look, acting like that after doing everything you’ve done?”

“Shut up, I already know.”

“Everyone here except you knows she’s just trying to use you to get out. Snap out of it, okay?”

“I said shut up.”

After that, the sound of retreating footsteps could be heard. It seemed Serdin had left the scene.

She stood blankly in front of the sink for a moment, replaying their conversation in her head, when the sound of someone approaching her room snapped her back to attention. She quickly rinsed her mouth one more time and wiped her lips just as the door swung open.

“……Phrena, you’re always so beautiful.”

It was Helios.

“Annoyingly beautiful.”

Perhaps because she had overheard his conversation with Serdin just moments ago, she knew Helios hadn’t come to her room with good intentions.

Was he here to warn her not to mess with Serdin? She watched him warily as he began to stride toward her.

“No wonder all the kids lose their minds over you.”

As the distance between them closed in an instant, Psyche instinctively flinched and stepped back. Her back touched the sink just as Helios grabbed her arm. The strong grip around her wrist caused her brow to furrow slightly.

“Let go.”

“Having fun playing with Serdin?”

“I said let go……”

“If you try something with me, I can make it even more fun for you. Why only mess with Serdin and not me?”

“…….”

“Is it your specialty to only poke at the easy targets?”

She glared sharply at Helios while quickly turning things over in her mind. In the past, she had been swayed by the fear that he might have an ability to see through people’s true intentions. If he had such an ability, wouldn’t he have figured out the real reason she wasn’t cooperating with them long ago? But neither Helios nor anyone else here seemed to have noticed.

In other words, the heads of the Arje family didn’t possess the ability to read minds. That meant there was nothing to fear.

Now it was her turn to manipulate him.

“What you’re saying……”

Psyche put on an arrogant expression. A clear sneer formed at the corner of her lips.

“……sounds like you’re jealous that I’m only playing games with Serdin and not you. Did I understand that correctly?”

Helios’s gaze briefly lingered on her lips before falling away. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes curving into a pretty smile.

“How cute.”

“…….”

“Do you want to see me jealous?”

His face gradually drew closer until his lips were just barely brushing her ear.

“If I really get jealous, you won’t be able to handle it.”

Her shoulders flinched at his hot breath and lowered voice. She tried to push him away, but suddenly her vision spun. As she staggered, he gently pulled her into his embrace.

“Oh my, you must be in a lot of pain.”

“Ah……”

She let out a pained sound and leaned against him. Perhaps because her ability was close to manifesting, her body suddenly wouldn’t obey her.

“It’s no wonder you’re in pain. This situation is too much for a princess to endure. Kidnapped by Arje bastards and even being violated…… How hard it must be.”

Helios pulled her even closer, his lips brushing against her ear.

“Having to hide all that pain and even play games with someone who makes you sick just by looking at them…… No wonder you’re so stressed that you keep hurting. Poor thing.”

“…….”

“Sometimes I feel proud watching you struggle so hard, but other times I wish you’d just go back to how you were……”

He slowly raised his head. Her blurred, dizzy eyes met his sharp, snake-like gaze in the air.

“I wonder what could have changed the princess so much.”

“……Well, isn’t it stranger if I didn’t change while being imprisoned and tortured like this?”
