MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 269 Now it's your turn to please me
Chapter 269 Now, it's your turn to please me
Korina sat on the chair in front of the dressing table, looked at the girl in the mirror, and saw the chaos reflected in her eyes.
Half an hour had passed since she left the study, and she still couldn't wake up from her father's decision.
She couldn't understand why her father made such a decision.
Through the mirror, she looks at the world other than herself.
This is a very familiar place. In front of the mirror are many unbranded but expensive cosmetics just from the packaging. On the wall is the knight gun she used in her first practice. It is exactly the same as the first time. Single-use longswords crossed together.
The large and small furniture in the house are as clean as new, and the slightly wrinkled clothes hanging in the corners contain traces of life—originally only traces of her.
After struggling for a while, Corinna finally looked in the mirror at the creatures other than herself.
The young man was lazily lying on the single sofa, holding an unknown book in his hand, reading with gusto, as if he didn't cause too much embarrassment because of the silence.
But Corinna couldn't bear it.
"No, I'm going to tell my father that you can't stay in my room."
Lin En said without raising his head: "But he just explained that there are no vacant rooms in the manor."
"How is it possible!" Corinna shouted.
Although she didn't count or investigate in detail, she knew that there were only about five or six out of ten rooms in the manor, and the rest of the rooms were dusty every day, and they could be moved in with a little cleaning.
How could there be no room!
Facing the girl's "naive" thoughts, Lynn couldn't help laughing.
"What is the real situation of the matter is not important in most cases. What is important is that when the person who has the decision-making power makes a certain decision, then things will inevitably develop in the direction he wants-of course, I also decide Your father is lying, but what does it matter."
"If you want, he can make up ten thousand reasons why he won't let me live in another room."
"." Corinna gritted her teeth and said, "Then go back to your home!"
"Really, you let me go home?" Lynn blinked, "So you already have the courage to resist your father."
“.”
Under the blow she couldn't resist, Corinna lost her momentum and collapsed decadently in front of the dressing table.
"Why. How could this be?"
"If you mean why your father did this, I can explain it to you."
"Explain. You say."
"It's very simple." Lin En turned a page of the book and said casually, "Your father still doesn't want you to enter the family center after all."
Corinna was slightly taken aback.
"Actually, it's not that I look down on myself and my surname, it's just that reputation is here. Any parent who loves her child and thinks about her child will not give her to such a notorious People, even if he is really good, even if the child firmly expresses his position—and you have not expressed your position." After a pause, Lynn continued, "But your father, after hearing my 'coveting' for you, not only did he not stop , Instead, it was like pushing the boat with the tide, and kept me, and let me live in the same room as you, as if wishing to marry you off."
"Why? Because recently, you stand too high."
"The huge amount of wealth makes your position in the family higher and higher, and it becomes more and more indispensable. Almost everyone benefits from you and is willing to sell you for a face-this is not good for your brother. Good news."
"Your existence has already threatened your brother."
"The reason why a family is a family is because it is composed of a network of relationships brought about by various blood connections. It is not a one-word statement. As the head of the family, your father can't influence the entire family to go against the trend. And in the face of incomparably huge interests In front of you, and against the background of your brother's weak ability, how insignificant is the obstacle of gender."
"If you let it go on for a long time, your brother will definitely be suppressed by you. After that, as long as you find a reason to throw him out, no one will care even if he dies in the wilderness."
"I wouldn't do that!" Corinna said unhappily.
"You can't now, but who knows in the future." Lynn waved his hand indifferently, "Don't say you won't in the future. Anyway, your father won't believe it. There is nothing in the world that is more ridiculous than an oath Well, to make the oath a reality, you can only erase the possibility of making it happen."
"Then, what method can we use to erase your threat to your brother?"
"It's even easier because you're a girl."
"As long as you change your surname and let you go to another family to be the mistress, then you will be thrown out of the water. It is not easy to return to the family. Nobles take their surnames as their glory. If you change your surname, you It’s equivalent to changing your home. At that time, if you occasionally want them to help you, it’s okay, but if you want to put your hands back...they won’t recognize you as a compatriot.”
"That's not right." Corinna bit her lip and said, "Even if that's the case, I shouldn't be so anxious. I still have so much money in my hand now. If he just throws me away like this, then it's okay Is it equivalent to giving you all the money?"
"Didn't you hear what I just said?" Lynn turned his head and glanced at her: "You want to put your hands back, no, but if you want to help the family while not putting your hands back, it's not impossible It is even inevitable—after all, your origin is Christine, and if you don’t repay your family, you will be a little ‘sorry’ for the parents who gave birth to you and raised you.”
"Am I right."
“.”
Lynn turned his eyes back to the book: "So, your father understands. Marrying you off can not only get benefits for nothing, but also bring your brother back into everyone's sight, and even use the things you created The thing paves the way for your brother. And the target is me. If something happens, they will not have the slightest sympathy. When cutting, they will definitely do it without hesitation like a person who has been thirsty for half a month and rushes to a pure water source .”
“.”
When hearing this, Corinna suddenly felt a little powerless.
No matter what she does, she doesn't get recognized, does she?
Just because, she is a girl?
What an exaggeration!
Corinna was lying on her back slumped in a chair, feeling complicated.
Things, why did it become like this? It was obviously a conversation between my father and him, but why did the evil result fall on me in the end?
Corinna thought about it carefully, it seems that Lynn started using her as a "shield" at first.
Regarding Lin En's outrageous words without any sincerity, Corinna can figure it out after a little thought. This must be a lie fabricated to deceive her father's trust and allow him to take root in Christine deeper—he killed the Marquis earlier. At that time, it is estimated that this speech has already been compiled.
Besides, she hasn't been told about the plan yet.
Thinking of this, Corinna suddenly became a little angry.
"Hey! Why did you pull me out as your shield!"
Lin En blinked: "It wasn't you who said before, can you cooperate with me?"
"I seem to have said it before, but... this is a bit too much!" The girl was a little annoyed, "How can you take all the major events in my life and don't even discuss it with me!"
Lin En was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously said, "You really thought we would get married."
The moment these words were spoken, the world suddenly fell silent.
Lynn realized that he might have said the wrong thing, because the expression on Corinna's face disappeared, and she just stared at Lynn, then stood up from the chair without saying a word, and came to the bed , pulled up the quilt and got in.
At this moment, he reacted and realized something.
In fact, Lynn has never listed Corinna among his marriage partners, because in his eyes, this is a choice that does not bring much benefit, so he will not do it.
But for Corinna, there is more than just good and bad in her eyes.
As a child of an aristocratic family, the girl must have been indoctrinated since she was a child that she must listen to and not resist when she is accused of marriage. Unless the person really annoys her, she will resist a little for personal reasons, but in the end, maybe, Will still succumb to the arrangement of the family.
For her, even if she doesn't want to agree with her father's decision, she may actually be paving the way for the future in her heart.
However, Lynn's words directly shattered her fantasy.
If it's just like this, it's fine. If you take it out alone, with Corinna's firm heart, she will definitely not feel too much loss and shock because of it, but the problem is that what she has experienced before this sentence, Too much.
Whether it was the arrangement that her father could not resist, or Lin En's secret strategy of using her as a pawn, it made her feel how insignificant her own ability was and how powerless her own existence was. , She directly turned into a rag that no one wanted.
Father doesn't want her, because she will take away his brother's light; Lynn doesn't want her, because she doesn't deserve to be his wife!
If it were someone else, let alone get under the covers without saying a word, it would be considered a good temper if you didn't just pick up the bench and make a life-and-death situation with him and then beat him to death.
Sighing slightly, Lynn shook his head helplessly, and began to think about how to fill up the hole.
Corina has played a big role in him so far, and he doesn't want to bury his plan because of this mistake.
However, just as he was thinking, a hand protruded from the bed pressed against the wall.
The room was dark, only a ray of silver moonlight flowing through the gap in the curtains at the end of the big bed.
Responding, Lynn was wondering why the girl would do this, and then he heard a sentence like a mosquito.
"come here."
Lin En walked honestly to the edge of the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and quietly waited for the girl's next words.
It took almost half an hour to wait.
Perhaps it was because the girl's emotions finally calmed down that she opened her mouth slowly.
“Sometimes, I always wonder if my life would be better if I didn’t have the identity and background I have now.”
She was interrupted by Lynn before she finished speaking.
"No." Lynn vetoed coldly, "Without the protection of your identity and background, your superior appearance will cause trouble even more."
“.Then don’t have this face.”
"Appearance is in the final analysis just an external thing. If you give up this face, the wisdom you possess will also arouse the jealousy of ordinary people."
Corina really wanted to curse for a moment.
She forced herself to cover her face with the quilt, and said sullenly, "I don't have any wisdom, so don't worry about it."
"If you don't need identity, appearance, and wisdom, then there is really not much trouble, but...you haven't gone to the folks. They have nothing. Are they really doing well?"
".you are annoying."
Lin En smiled, turned his head, looked at the girl's hidden head, and said: "There is no way to escape troubles. As long as they live in this world, even animals will be troubled by the lack of things."
"If you want to make troubles go away, you can only solve them."
"You're right, but I can't do it." Corinna said in frustration, "I don't have that ability."
"In fact, I knew a long time ago that I am not a piece of jade in the rough, but I am not willing to be mediocre. I want to struggle, but the results are always unsatisfactory, so I can only use lies like 'if not'. Comfort yourself, you bastard, don't even let me comfort myself."
"It's not forbid." Lin En stretched out his hand, touched the girl's hidden head, and said softly, "It's not necessary."
"Remember what I said after the dance? I said, I can give you the applause and cheers you want if you'll stand by my side - then you just have to take it, all Let me solve your troubles for you."
“.”
The voices in the world suddenly disappeared again.
After a while, a pair of eyes came out from under the quilt: "I thought you were teasing me at that time."
"No." Lynn squinted and smiled, "That's serious."
"But this doesn't seem to do you any good, and you obviously denied it just now."
"Did I deny? What did I deny?"
“.”
Thinking about it carefully, Lynn seemed to be asking rhetorically, and didn't really deny it, but didn't that tone mean that it was impossible? Isn't that just denying?
"No, no, it's just in my plan, that's not part of it, but that doesn't mean there's no such possibility."
"." Corinna didn't feel happy because of such words, but reacted, "Do you think I'm still useful, so do you want to make up for something now?"
Blinking, Lynn admitted frankly: "Yes, I still need you now, but as for making up for something. I'm just making a follow-up to my previous words."
"Tch."
Corinna rolled her eyes and sighed again.
"No, you don't need to comfort me, I understand."
"Indeed, compared to you, I am incompetent, useless, and powerless, except that this identity has no value. Once it loses its value, it will become a rag that can be thrown away at any time. You don't have to think about how to refute my words, unless You are really willing to raise a waste."
“.”
Lin En took back the words he had prepared.
At this time, the young girl seems to be enlightened, and she can understand people’s hearts especially—maybe she also understood it before, but it’s just because of the false cover-up instinct that nobles like, and she never said it outright.
She was never a fool.
Just like now, she seems to have seen herself clearly.
"You're right. It's meaningless to give up what you own. Rather than escaping, it's better to use the knife in your hand to face it bravely." She pulled the quilt down, revealing Even in the dark, there are some beautiful faces, but only then did Lin En realize that there didn't seem to be any depression or loss on her face.
She stared at Lynn and said softly, "So you want to know, what am I going to do?"
Lin En hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "What are you going to do."
"hehe."
Corinna pulled back the quilt, sat up, and laughed.
Her smile is bright and dangerous, like a rose soaked in blood, dazzling and hidden.
"You don't want to use me, okay, I'll let you use it as you want, and then, as you said, I have to stand by your side and enjoy the attention I want to enjoy—but, I I don't want to be abandoned later, so the way I stand next to you can't be because of your 'charity'."
"Just now, I thought about why I have fallen to the point where you are in control of everything, and then I figured it out—my overthinking and timidity brought me a lot of trouble."
"I was afraid of your illusory threat, my dark future, and everything that might happen, and then I consciously jumped into the pocket you wove for me, and let you knead it."
"Under your false reality, I always thought that I didn't seem to have any ability, so I honestly handed everything over to you. When I turned around, I realized that if I ignore the threat you gave me , I think, is the one that should be more dominant."
"After all, my needs are obviously more important than yours."
"If you still wish to continue, then"
She held her head up, looking down at Lynn as if condescending.
"Now, it's up to you to please me."
