The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 318 - Emergency Protocol



Chapter 318 - Emergency Protocol

"A Lycan?" Mo Li's expression changed the moment she walked inside her room. He was languidly sitting on the bed, reading what looked like a book.

"You can smell it." Honestly, she was no longer surprise that he could smell Ymir around her. Though she never touched that Lycan, Ymir has a different smell, something that only royalty would have.

"You were with a stronger one?"

She nodded. It was almost dawn, and she just got back after talking to Ymir about their plans. She didn't expect Mo Li to wait for her until this time. "The Prince."

His eyebrow lifted. "Prince Ymir?"

"Yes."

When he didn't answer, she continued, "He was here to create an alliance with the Kingdom. I stopped him."

"Why?"

"Because I wanted to work with him instead." She thought she saw a quick change in his face. However, it was too quick. She wasn't really sure what it was.

"The Lycan's up north are prideful creatures. How could they work with humans?"

"They are desperate." She removed her cloak, then her outer clothing, leaving her inner clothes on. The absence of awkwardness really surprised her. Perhaps she was getting used to his presence? "Prince Ymir's family sent him here to ridicule him," she added. Someone is clearly instigating them.

"Did something happen?"

"The current Luna, the queen of the Lycans, is not his mother. Politics are involved and many people are pressuring the king to fight the rogues. However, the King knew that there are more important things aside from the rogues. For instance, the increase of dark ones outside of the gates."

She met his eyes.

"You are telling me this…"

She shrugged. She didn't know why she was telling him something like this. Perhaps she was getting weaker? Or maybe it had something to do with the familiarity that she felt around him.

By now, she was a little certain that she had met this man's soul in another world, another dimension. Perhaps they even shared something, a connection? Who knows?

"The rogues planned to poison the prince — the crown prince." And she just told the male lead to use this opportunity to make the humans owe him. That's right. She told Ymir to let the poisoning happen. Then he would go and save the day.

After quickly explaining her plan, she noticed that Mo Li was no longer saying anything. She turned towards him and realized that he had already fallen asleep.

Hah.

She actually forgot that he wasn't like her.

Staring at his peaceful face, a smile appeared on her lips. Mo Li was indeed more handsome than anyone else in this world. He might be more handsome than the male lead. Or maybe his face was just her type?

….

Four days later, the news of the Lycan's arrival shook the very foundations of the Kingdom. Alright, it was just an exaggeration. The people that were shaken were not really the king but the bishop, who was still staying in the kingdom because of the appearance of the saintess.

The fact that the Lycans visited the kingdom alone was enough to make them speechless. After all, everyone knew that Lycans are very arrogant. Something must have happened, something that made them visit this place.

Everyone had their own assumptions.

Some were scared.

What if the rogues would also attack the kingdom?

What surprised her the most was the fact that the news about the crown prince's sudden sickness after that night never reached her ears. It was pretty obvious that someone was trying to hide it. Was it the King?

"I am going to welcome the crown prince. Do you want to come with me?" Mo Li asked. Since that night, he had been looking for ways to be able to sleep in her room. Though he didn't know anything else, his presence was still a little too much for her. After all, she would occasionally curse at the system.

By now, this man must have thought that she was insane.

"No. You look disturbed?" she asked.

"I received the news about the Lycans. About their current alpha and luna."

"Oh?"

"You were right. It seems that some people are challenging the authority of the Alpha. A revolt might happen anytime soon."

Of course. After all, the female lead is doing her best to sow discord amongst the people closest to the king. She sighed inwardly. It's funny how the female lead would think that she was just doing a world a favor by illuminating a group of her kind. She was the hero in her own world. She was always the one who was hurt the most, the one who suffered.

The strong woman who would rise against all odds and conquer this world.

She smiled at him. If only she could tell him all of her thoughts. Talking to someone would be nice.

But then again… she was doomed to be alone forever.

[Emergency!]

[Emergency!]

[Emergency!]

'Huh?'

"Did something happen?" Mo Li was quick to react when he saw the change in her reaction. "Are you alright?"

[Emergency!]

[Emergency!]

[Emergency!]

"Hey! Are you alright? What's happening?"

She could hear Mo Li's voice and see his anxious appearance. However, she couldn't move or say anything anymore.

What the hell is going on?

Just as she was about to accept the mission in her mind, the system suddenly said.

"Lily! What the hell is going on?"

[5… 4… 3…]

"Lily! Answer me!"

[2… 1]

When she heard Mo Li's words, Rhea's eyes widened. Did he just… call her Lily?

She met his anxious eyes before her gaze faded into oblivion.
