[BL] Seducing Male Leads To Survive As A Villain In A Novel-Chapter 339: Coming along

The two of them arrived at Elvis’s bedroom. Lysander strolled through the room, running his hands over the walls, decorations, and paintings. Elvis stood there staring at him.

"How are you doing?" Elvis asked after a while of silence.

Lysander smiled, his hands running over Elvis’s table. "Why are you asking? Of course I’m fine. It’s just been a while since I’ve been here in your room. Feels like ages."

Elvis stared at him without saying anything.

"And you? How are you doing?" Lysander asked, turning to stare at Elvis, the smile still on his face.

"Of course I’m fine. I should be asking you that. You locked yourself inside there for so long. You didn’t look so good." He hesitated. "Didn’t you know we were worried about you?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Lysander smiled with a nod. "You’re worried about me? I didn’t believe this day would come. When you’d finally care about me."

Elvis scoffed. "What are you talking about? I’ve always cared."

Lysander nodded. "I guess so. Perhaps it’s because you’re too cold to show it," he laughed as he stared at him. And then said, "I’m sorry."

"Why are you suddenly apologizing?"

Lysander hesitated before he said, "I felt terrible, that’s why I locked myself off. My mum has been terrible to you and your mum all this while. She has done terrible things to you two... All this while I’ve overlooked it, thinking it might work out. But it never did... rather it got worse..."

Lysander sighed. "And now I feel terrible."

"But you didn’t do anything, so why are you...?"

"Because she’s my mum. Mine. That’s why I feel terrible. I didn’t know how to face you guys. I just hated myself and all... I..." He sighed. "I just want to apologize now and get everything fixed... then after you’ve forgiven me... I’ll try making my mum turn away from her terrible ways... I believe she will..."

Elvis smiled as he walked up to Lysander, placing a hand over his shoulders. "It’s good that you wish to take responsibility for what your mum did. But you should know that she’s not you and you’re not her. So don’t make it your fault, at least."

Lysander still stared at him. "But I still want to apologize..."

"No need. We already forgive you. So don’t bother," Elvis smiled at him.

"And..." Elvis added, "I know everything that happened must have been a heavy blow to you. So we gave you time away to take a break."

Lysander nodded with a smile. "Thanks for forgiving me. I promise I’ll go with you to the feast and assist you properly."

Elvis sighed. "You know you don’t have to go there..."

"I have to," Lysander insisted. "I’d appreciate it if you guys stop treating me like a kid and also let me do official stuff. I’d be happy to grow in that aspect, too. Trust me."

Elvis stared at him. He simply sighed, shaking his head as he said, "Okay, then. If you say so. You can come with me."

Lysander’s expression lit up. "Is that so?! Can I really come?!"

"Sure. Didn’t you want to?" Elvis asked.

"I do! I sure do," he nodded.

Lysander hesitated before asking, "And... you said something about Eden... haven’t you seen him since...?"

Elvis hesitated and then nodded. "Yes. I haven’t. But I have a feeling he might show up at the feast."

"Is that so? Then I’ll surely come along. I’d also like to meet him, too. I’ve missed him..." He smiled enthusiastically.

Elvis stared at him with a smile, tapping him on the shoulder. "Sure, then. Let’s go find him there."

The weekend arrived, and it was Sunday.

Preparation for the great feast had already been in session for a long time. So on Sunday, the streets were being decorated during the day. Everyone was making contributions in decorating their different spaces with red ornaments and the like so as to capture the essence of the red dragon.

The Capital city was already bustling with people who had arrived to celebrate the feast there at its core. Endless travelers and foreigners were coming in.

Even nobles and royalties from other kingdoms were making their way in to celebrate it with the Emperor, who had invited them on a special occasion.

The preparation for this year’s celebrations was grand and lavish. The villagers couldn’t help but notice that it had to be the most grand of them all, because the Emperor was putting his all into it.

Everywhere along the Capital city was already looking beautiful as evening approached. And everyone was making preparations to celebrate the main event in a grand way that very Sunday evening.

Eden was in his room as evening arrived. He was going through some books Leo had given him to study. Leo had told him that it would help him develop himself better.

Eden was bored that day, so he went through them.

All activities of the day were canceled, and his dorm room was almost empty as evening arrived. Everyone seemed to be going somewhere he didn’t know, and he didn’t care to ask.

He simply flipped through the boring book while waiting for sleep to come. At least he didn’t have practice all through today and probably tomorrow, as they said.

But then, Helen walked into his dorm. She seemed all dressed up. "What are you still doing here? Aren’t you going?"

Eden stared up at her. "Huh? Why are you dressed up? Where are you going?"

Helen stared at him. "The Feast. It’s today. Don’t you remember?"

"Feast?" Eden thought for a while. He wasn’t one to know anything about the feasts of this world.

Helen then explained and asked, "Aren’t you going? We should at least go and have some fun away from all these practices at school."

Eden thought for a while. He figured there wouldn’t be harm in going out and enjoying the scenery. After all, it wasn’t like he had anything better to do.

He nodded. "Okay. Sure. Let’s go."
