The Predator’s Contract Partner

Chapter 250: Tpcp 250



Chapter 250: Tpcp 250

She wasn’t trying to run away. Just. She just wanted to prepare a way for herself to live. But Lucerne’s attitude.

Elisha really felt like she was treated like luggage. He was trying to move her as if he were handling bags.

“It was wrong of you to try to run away from me.”

“But in an instant, people… … .”

Could human regard and treatment change? At that moment, Elisha realized.

Originally, this was the relationship between the two. His mood only changed.

‘Equal?’

Elisha was amazed at herself. Emotions were poison, after all.

Twice, she almost got seduced by this man. A moment of shaking. The price for all that was cold.

‘That’s why you were nice to me.’

She recalled Lucerne’s recent attitude, which was exceptionally sweet. Elisha realized that everything was her delusion.

Elisha slowly closed her eyes.

That’s right. It was like that. And in her past life, she could not ask anyone ‘why.’

***

Oh. Yeah. It’s not good to think of someone as a lifeline.

Elisha thought she was in a dream. Even if everything goes well. Even as she gains her powers. The lifeline flew away with a single gesture from the person holding it.

Drip. Drop.

There was the sound of water falling. Elisha felt something warm surrounding her body. Her throat was dry, and she was tired.

Her limbs were heavy. She couldn’t move at will.

“Umm… … .”

Elisha slowly opened his eyes. She was on the bed. Soft silk bedding covered her body. There was a silver basin next to the bed. The water droplets on the basin were falling little by little.

“You’re awake!”

Then someone made a loud noise. The voice was full of emotion.

“Sophie?”

Elisha asked as he touched her neck. She flinched. A strange sensation was felt around her ankles. She pulled back the blanket with her eyes trembling.

Her ankles were shackled. Elisha was startled. Upon closer inspection, the chains held shackles on both ankles and were only long enough to walk in a tiny stride.

“I was really worried, ma’am. I heard you took poison. How can someone with a weak body like Madam endure poison? You haven’t received any poison training. If you ended up like this after taking rose poison, you’re very lucky. When Madam drank poison, she swallowed only a small amount and spit out most of it. You are so smart! Besides, the healing priest came at the right time and took out the toxin? You’ve been asleep for a day and a half, but the doctor says there’s no poison in your body anymore.”

Elisha’s head hurt from Sophie’s rapid-fire words.

“Why on earth are you here Sophie?”

“Well, from today, I have been ordered to take care of the lady. Madam needs help… … .”

Sophie added a detailed story.

“Do not worry. I’m not only good at putting on makeup, but I’m also very good at serving and looking after people. The Madam won’t be uncomfortable. I will also make you tea.”

Elisha then took a close look at Sophie’s face. She wanted to burst into laughter.

Shackles on her ankles. A secret room with no indication of where she was. And until yesterday, she was a maid who cared for Elisha, pretending not to know anything and assisting her.

The situation was a masterpiece.

“Sophie, you were also an agent of Lucerne, weren’t you?”

Sophie blinked and rolled her big eyes. She had a simple, comfortable, and cute appearance. However, contrary to her cautious attitude, she nodded quite confidently.

“Yes… … . that’s correct.”

“… … How extraordinary. Lucerne, you even placed surveillance in the area closest to me. Since when did you treat me like a would-be traitor?”

“It’s not like that!”

Sophie held out her hand.

“I was trained. I was to escort and guard the esteemed wife in the residence in case of emergency. When Zain appeared in front of you before, I did not use force because the general was nearby.”

Elisha was shocked.

“Your hand.”

Elisha said.

“Yes?”

“Your hands. They aren’t the hands of someone that wields a sword.”

“Yes. I don’t hold a sword. I use different weapons. If you train well in the first place, there will be no traces of holding a sword on your body. People like me are trained like that. I know that when like the Madam sees someone, the first thing they do is check their hands.”

“…….”

“You looked at my hands the first day you saw me… … . I thought ma’am was a really smart person.”

Elisha was so shocked that she didn’t even want to say anything more.

Only then did the inside of the room come into view. Elisha realized that she was sitting in a stunning and luxurious room.

The walls were covered with red silk wallpaper with gold embroidery. And the four-poster bed was covered with a white silk blanket. The room was filled with expensive ebony wood furniture.

“Where on earth am I?”
