Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!-Chapter 343 - 217 Xiya Brother, I’m Sorry to You
Chapter 343: Chapter 217 Xiya Brother, I’m Sorry to You
The cold moonlight spread across the vast female bedroom, making the soft and luxurious carpet clearly visible.
At this moment, under the delicate silk-socked foot, a black-haired young man with closed eyes lay unconscious and serene in front of Hillena.
From his disheveled appearance, it was clear that he had been having a tough time recently. His face was pale, with a very noticeable bruise on his forehead.
Compared to the evil fugitive wanted across the city, the young man in front of her seemed more like a clumsy thief.
Perhaps it was due to his overly handsome appearance and the calm demeanor he exhibited at the moment, he looked completely non-threatening.
But Hillena was not the kind of superficial woman who judged by appearances.
...
After recognizing his identity, she involuntarily stepped back, watching the young man in front of her as if facing a great enemy.
Why is it him?!
Hillena’s heartbeat slightly quickened.
Currently, the entire Glostit was hunting down this young man, yet he inexplicably appeared in her room.
Could it be a coincidence?
Or maybe…
Recalling her father’s instructions from that night, she fell silent for a moment.
As the Great Imperial Princess, her instinct was to tie him up and send him to Elloch Palace, after all, this was the man Saint Laurent VI wanted. If she could capture him before any major powers did, it would be a significant achievement, and also a way to shut the mouths of those nobles.
With that in mind, Hillena’s expression turned solemn, and she gently kicked his chin with her toe.
After confirming multiple times that he had lost the ability to move, she slightly bent over and tested his breathing.
It seemed like he had bumped into the corner of a table while sneaking into her room, causing him to faint.
However, she had not expected that a man who fooled the entire Imperial Capital and committed murders would be captured in such a ludicrous manner; it was truly laughable.
Hillena pursed her lips.
But upon looking at him, he seemed not to have fled here aimlessly but with a definite purpose.
To find me?
Did he think I looked kind and would choose to help him at this time?
Hillena felt it was absurd.
Although she usually showed a compassionate demeanor, she had no sympathy for the villain who killed her brother Joshua.
Thinking this, voices of anxious maids came from outside: “Your Highness, are you alright?”
Perhaps they heard her earlier cry, causing the nearby maids to gather.
“I’m fine, you all quickly…”
She wanted to say “come tie this man up,” but before she could finish, the unconscious young man’s lips suddenly quivered.
Then a faint murmur reached Hillena’s ears.
“I will… save you all…”
Hillena was stunned.
Who were ‘you all’ referring to?
Is it the Third Imperial Princess Ivyst whom he served, or someone else?
Moreover, even though he was a serial killer, why were the words spoken unconsciously from his mouth so gentle?
Such a sinfully notorious person should be more cold-blooded and ruthless.
Words like “save” seemed completely out of character.
From their first meeting at the Jump Transition Matrix, she had recognized the trouble with this young man.
As expected.
The following cases that unfolded were all centered around him, proving Hillena’s judgment was not wrong.
But now, she couldn’t help but feel hesitant.
At the same time, the scene from that night unconsciously surfaced in her mind.
Even now, she occasionally recalled how he used unfathomable means, like a magician, to dissipate the surge of extraordinary power.
This action indirectly saved fifteen innocent lives.
Was it unintentional, or did he harbor good intentions?
If it was the former, there was nothing to discuss.

But… what if it was the latter?
After all, Hillena always felt a cloud of suspicion hanging over Glostit.
Although everyone claimed Lynn Bartleion was the main culprit in the limb connector case, that was undoubtedly the narrative pushed by the Imperial Council and the Mosgla family. Believing it would be incredibly foolish.
Neither the timing nor the distance provided any opportunity for him to commit the crime.
Unless he possessed a translocation method surpassing that of the Military Department, allowing him to travel instantly between Orn City and Glostit unimpeded.
But that was unrealistic.
Moreover, according to the testimony of the nuns who survived from the Silent Church, not only did he stop a Demon incursion, but he was also taken away by Tiya in a startling mix-up.
Previously occupied with managing the Helius Mausoleum, she never analyzed this case in detail.
Thinking back now, there were doubts everywhere.
Considering the repeated requests of her father to “spare his life,” this was also very intriguing.
Seemingly, she couldn’t just hand him over so easily.
At the very least, she needed to clarify the whole truth.
“Your Highness? Should we come in?”
The maids’ anxiety outside continued, followed by the sound of turning a doorknob.
Hillena quickly regained her focus, staring at the black-haired young man lying on the ground: “…No, just stay outside.”
