[BL] Seducing Male Leads To Survive As A Villain In A Novel-Chapter 223: Let’s get married

"But you never know..." Lenny said. "Something dramatic might happen and the engagement might not happen."

Eden stared into thin air for a while. "I don’t think I’ll need to wait for anything dramatic to happen. I suppose I’ll be the drama to end it."

Lenny blinked at him. "So you’re gonna be a wedding wrecker now?"

Eden shrugged. "Anything to make sure the wedding doesn’t go through. Because I can’t let the villainess ruin my perfect plan of creating an army of male leads for myself."

Lenny blinked. "Are you sure it’s about stopping her from ruining your plan of collecting male leads or... about Elvis specifically?"

Eden stared at Lenny. "What?"

Lenny stared at Eden, giving him the suspicious eyes. "Are you sure you’re not really falling in love with your harem male leads already?"

Eden blinked. "What are you talking about? No. I don’t have time for that. I’m too busy plotting a way to survive and escape this novel to think about that."

Eden defended while folding his arms. "Falling in love is not on my list. It’s not like I’m that easy to get... So quit dreaming. That’s not happening."

Lenny still stared at him silently for a while and then said, "Sure. Whatever. I guess we’ll have to see it happen."

"The only thing happening is going to be me ruining the engagement," Eden said. "And I’ll have to find a perfect way to make it happen without alerting the whole palace against me."

Eden added, "Because if I do that, they’ll probably come for my head sooner."

"Then you’ll have to find a medium," Lenny suggested.

"Yeah..." Eden rubbed his hand over his jaw in thought. "I guess I’ll have to find that..."

A knock came on the door.

The two of them paused and then looked up at the door.

The knock came again. And again. And Eden got up and headed for the door. As soon as he opened it, Lysander instantly made his way in.

Lysander walked into the bed chamber and closed the door behind him, alert. Eden stared at him confused. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"What?" Eden watched him.

"I ran away from my room. I don’t want my mum to find me," Lysander turned to stare at Eden. "She’s been keeping an eye on me for long now."

Eden slowly nodded. "Oh..."

"But I’ve missed you," Lysander smiled at Eden. "So I came to see you."

He walked up to the bed and carried Lenny in his arm. "It’s been a while since I’ve seen the cat. It’s never around when you need it," Lysander smiled while stroking Lenny.

Lenny had a visible frown on his face. One which Eden could see through. He certainly didn’t like the touchiness happening.

"He’s shy," Eden smiled. "So he always goes off to hide when I’m not around."

"Is that so?" Lysander sat down on the bed, stroking Lenny. "I guess I’ll have to win it over to get used to me."

Lenny wanted to protest and fly away from his grip. But he held himself.

"About you and brother..." Lysander hesitated. His words drifted while he stared at Eden. His hands were still stroking through the cat.

Eden paused, staring at him. He could tell he was still thinking about the fact that Eden and Elvis had actually kissed. And he was pretty much still jealous.

"Well..." Eden ran a hand through his hair. "The thing is..."

"We should get married," Lysander had suddenly said out of the blue. And Eden was greatly shocked by his words that certainly came without warning.

He stared at Lysander. "Huh? Married?"

Lenny also stiffened, blinking while listening to the tea.

Lysander looked up at Eden with a smile. He nodded. "Yeah. My brother is getting married soon. And the preparations are already in motion. So I figured we could also take the opportunity and get married..."

Lysander continued, "It might not be official for now. But at least we could mark our love somehow.... I read about it and people do that. So maybe we could."

Eden stared at Lysander. He didn’t know who had been feeding the kids with the thought of marriage, but he certainly wasn’t ready for that.

At least not now.

He had a lot to worry about now. And getting married was certainly not on his to-do list anytime soon. "Eh?" He asked.

Lysander nodded. "Yeah. I know, many certainly won’t be in approval of us." He hesitated. "People will clearly talk.. but I’m fine with it. I don’t care. As long as you agree to be with me..."

Lysander smiled. "I’ve been doing a lot of research lately while you were away. And I’ve discovered that two people who are together do it. Even without officially holding a banquet, we could do our own little thing. Something that will keep the two of us together." He smiled. "That way our bond will be stronger."

Eden stared at the lad. He understood his words and his need to be closer to the one he loves. After all, it was his first time being in love and having a lover. Eden knew that he was his first lover.

So he understood his needs.

But Eden on the other hand wasn’t ready for such commitment. Especially not in a situation like this.

"But that’s..." Eden said. "A lot."

The two of them stared at each other for a while and then smiled. "Marriage isn’t something you just plan out of the blue. It takes a lot more than words and love. It’s a whole life of commitment."

Eden smiled as he said, "So let’s not rush it. Okay?"

Lenny blinked, getting sick at the words of these lovebirds. He simply wished he could at least disappear.

"I just want to be your first legally married husband at least..." Lysander said with a short pout.

And on hearing that, Eden’s expression lit in what seemed like shock. He also wanted to laugh having discovered that Lysander was mainly saying all these so he could be his first husband in any potential harem.
