Chapter 155
Paris remained in the room, and Psyche left alone. As she exited, her heart was beating so fast and violently that she worried it might burst. If she happened to run into Zephyros on the way to her room, it would be difficult to control her expression. Fortunately, Psyche didn’t encounter anyone before reaching her room, which allowed her to calm down a little.
‘……Please, let Paris help me.’
Just as she closed her eyes with that thought, the door opened without a knock, and suddenly she felt her ability completely disappear.
A chill ran down her spine.
Her ability had been restricted.
“Psyche, my lovely sister.”
The door closed, and a soft voice came from behind her. The blood drained instantly from Psyche’s face.
“What a cute plan you’ve concocted.”
She turned her head like a broken machine. About five steps away, Zephyros stood smiling, holding a crystal ball.
「Paris, I need your help. I plan to bring down my brother, Zephyros…… When that time comes, lend me your strength.」
When he pressed firmly on the crystal ball, the conversation she had with Paris just an hour ago played back.
“How did you…….”
Her heart seemed to sink. Zephyros laughed as if amused.
“You’re truly remarkable, Psyche.”
The conversation in the crystal ball ended. After silently staring at the crystal ball for a moment, Zephyros muttered as if talking to himself.
“Your revealing my main ability and weakness, well, I could understand that. You might have been forced to record such a video under threat.”
Psyche clenched her fist tightly. He continued speaking as he carelessly tossed the crystal ball onto the floor.
“Taking Ruon and running away? I could understand that too……. You are a kind child. You probably felt sympathy for Ruon. I thought you had come to your senses and finally made the right choice, but.”
Slowly, the smile disappeared from his lips.
“To think you would truly betray me.”
“…….”
“I trusted you. I’m sincerely…… disappointed.”
His face was filled with a sense of betrayal. Her lips stiffened. Why are you making that expression? Isn’t that the expression I should be making?
“You’ve joined hands with Arje, haven’t you?”
Psyche gritted her teeth.
“The one who made it happen was none other than you, brother.”
Zephyros chuckled.
“No, even so, you shouldn’t have done that. If only for the sake of our parents in heaven.”
“What……? Ha…….”
Her shoulders began to tremble. She could tolerate other things, but bringing up their parents was simply unbearable. How dare he, with that filthy mouth.
“Psyche, you seem to think that I’m the family’s disgrace…….”
Looking down at the furious Psyche, Zephyros spoke calmly.
“The family’s disgrace isn’t me, but you.”
For a moment, Psyche’s lips parted wide as if to shout something, but after letting out a hollow laugh into the air, she pressed them shut. She realized that day that when she became too angry, words failed her completely.
“I wonder if hanging around those lowly bastards has driven you insane…… To think that after manifesting such strong power, what you do is join hands with those Arje scum. I truly can’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it.”
“…….”
“Have you fallen in love with one of those bastards?”
Clear disgust rose in Psyche’s eyes.
“I’m asking if you’ve fallen in love with the bastards who killed your parents and violated you.”
She spoke through gritted teeth, her voice suppressed.
“Release the restriction on my ability.”
A sneer flowed between Zephyros’s teeth.
“You still don’t understand what you’ve done wrong……. You need to be taught a lesson.”
No sooner had his words ended than the location suddenly changed. It was the very place where Ruon had been tortured.
“What do you think you’re doing…….”
Her entire body trembled violently. She never imagined Zephyros would go this far with her.
“Reflect on your sins in there. I’ll let you out when the time comes.”
But he simply uttered those cold words and left.
She had no idea how many days had passed. Everything was dark and damp, making it impossible to gauge time. Her body was completely drained of strength, and judging by the dizziness before her eyes, she could only guess that at least 3 days had gone by.
‘……Cold and sleepy…….’
Leaning against the wall, her arms wrapped around her knees, she nodded off. As the strength completely drained from her body, she collapsed onto the ice-cold floor. Just as she was about to fall into sleep, a warm sensation seeped into her body.
“Have you reflected on your sins?”
It was Zephyros.
“Oh dear, you don’t even have the strength to speak.”
