The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

Chapter 408: I’ve Been Really Restrained! (Voice Cracks)

“—”

Silence.

“—”

Silence.

“—”

Silence.

“—”

Still silence.

In the room, the three people sitting opposite each other remained silent, the atmosphere awkward.

Especially their expressions, which added a subtle nuance to the awkwardness.

Lucy’s face was flushed red the entire time, as if she wanted to find a hole to hide in, her expression incredibly embarrassed, almost wanting to turn and run.

Shien, sitting beside Lucy, seemed quite calm, but only he knew if he was actually feeling guilty.

As for Lia, sitting opposite Shien and Lucy, her face was dark as charcoal, her anger at the man and woman before her evident.

Especially when she looked at Shien, Lia’s murderous gaze and expression were undisguised.

Shien, with his [Enemy Detection] skill, knew very well that this princess was definitely thinking about how to stab him.

If it weren’t for Lucy sitting beside him, blushing, with an expression of “we were both willing,” Lia would have already exploded.

Of course, even now, Lia was on the verge of exploding.

“…Don’t you want to explain something to me?”

Lia’s voice was low and laced with gritted teeth, clearly showing how bad her mood was.

“Sister Lia…”

Lucy’s face was filled with embarrassment and shame. She wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say, her usual perfect composure before her sister completely gone. Râ₦Ố₿Εŝ

But Lucy didn’t know that the more she acted like this, the colder Lia’s heart became.

After all, she had never seen her sister with such an expression.

That shy and embarrassed expression, like that of an ordinary woman, made Lia feel very complicated.

Lia had never imagined that her perfect sister would one day show such an expression.

And this undoubtedly told Lia that everything Lucy did was consensual.

Her sister had truly fallen, and had even been completely devoured!

Lia didn’t know whether to be happy or angry.

Happy, naturally, that her sister had found someone she truly loved and entrusted herself to.

Angry, of course, because of her sister’s lack of restraint!

“How… how could you be so impulsive?” Lia could only say in a tone of exasperation, “Even if you really like him, there’s no need to give yourself away so quickly, right?”

Lia truly hadn’t expected that her sister, the Kingdom’s treasure, the modern Hero, the most beautiful woman in the human world, would entrust everything to a man before marriage.

Setting aside whether this would affect the royal family’s reputation or Lucy’s own reputation, Lia just wanted to know, was it necessary?

You’re the goddess in everyone’s hearts!

Such a noble, outstanding, and perfect goddess!

With family background, bloodline, talent, beauty, and powerful backing, there might not even be a man in this world worthy of you.

And you just gave yourself away like that?

Damn it!

Lia wanted to curse.

This was also why Lia was in such a bad mood.

If Shien and Lucy had only confirmed their relationship and planned to date and get married, although Lia would have mixed feelings, those feelings would mostly be relief.

But now, witnessing her sister being taken advantage of, the blow, shock, and stimulation to Lia were simply too great.

As a royal princess, being so unrestrained, not even leaving herself a way out, wasn’t she afraid of encountering a scumbag, or accidentally getting pregnant before marriage?

If that really happened, not only would the royal family lose all face, but countless men across the country would be heartbroken to the point of suicide!

Thinking of such consequences, Lia almost fainted.

Lia, in this state, didn’t notice that Shien, who had been silent, had a contorted expression.

Because a hand was pinching his waist relentlessly, almost leaving a bruise.

“It’s all your fault…!”

Lucy’s angry voice reached Shien’s ears.

Clearly, Lucy was blaming everything on Shien.

No, wasn’t this originally Shien’s fault?

At least, Lucy hadn’t thought that she would be taken advantage of by Shien so quickly.

If this beast hadn’t taken advantage of her vulnerability and done that to her, how could she have lost her virginity so easily?

Therefore, Lucy could only vent her embarrassment, shame, and other emotions on Shien.

Shien was speechless.

How could this be his fault?

Was it wrong for two consenting adults to do such things?

Moreover, in that situation, if he hadn’t acted, he would probably be criticized by countless people for being all talk and no action, a standard Liu Xiahui type protagonist, a dense male lead from a light novel. There would be plenty of things to criticize him for, believe it or not?

It was fortunate that it was him. If it were those bulldozers in other novels, they could have already conquered forty girls in four hundred chapters, believe it or not?

Therefore, he couldn’t be blamed. He could only blame the thirsty readers.

He had been very restrained! (His voice cracked.)

As Shien and Lucy secretly bickered, Lia seemed to have regained her composure and sighed.

“Shien, was it?”

Lia looked at Shien, her expression unfriendly. “Since things have come to this, there’s no use saying more. Just give me an explanation.”

Lucy stopped torturing Shien’s waist, and Shien looked up at Lia, pursing his lips.

“What kind of explanation do you want?”

Shien didn’t seem too guilty and threw the question back at her.

Lia was also straightforward.

“Just tell me what you plan to do.” Lia said directly. “Judging from your appearance, you’ve already confirmed your relationship. Lucy now has no other choice but to marry you, so you will take responsibility, right?”

Hearing Lia’s words, Shien almost laughed.

Not because he found Lia’s thoughts funny.

On the contrary, Shien quite liked Lia’s attitude.

No other choice but to marry him?

In his past life, who would take the victim’s side?

Countless goddesses secretly prepared many backups and honest men to take the fall. Here, they only asked people to take responsibility?

Was this another world?

He loved it!

Therefore, Shien didn’t beat around the bush.

“That was our plan all along.” Shien said to Lia with a smile. “Otherwise, what do you think this so-called husband selection competition is for, Princess Lia?”

These words, like a sudden enlightenment, made Lia understand instantly.

“So… you did this to get married smoothly…?”

Lia looked at Shien in surprise.

“This wasn’t my plan, but your dear sister’s.”

Shien said with annoyance.

“Lucy, you…?”

Lia looked at Lucy in disbelief.

Lucy became even more embarrassed.

It was over. She had been exposed. Her sister had discovered that she did all this just to get married.

This… this was too embarrassing!

Lucy was mortified.

Lia naturally got the answer she wanted from Lucy’s attitude and felt even more dizzy.

So, it wasn’t just Shien being a beast and acting too quickly, but also her sister desperately wanting to get married?

You… you’re the goddess in everyone’s hearts!

So noble, so outstanding… (and so on)

Lia shouted inwardly, feeling like she didn’t even know her sister anymore.

“S-so, the revelation about a disaster that could only be averted by marriage, that was also fake?”

Lia, fighting against the dizziness, asked Lucy for final confirmation.

Lucy chuckled dryly and mumbled, “That’s what you said, not me…”

Well, well, a harmonious couple, even their blame-shifting techniques were so similar!

Lia felt like all her excitement, fighting spirit, and hard work these past few days had been for nothing, like a fool.

Was this really her perfect sister?

Had she been switched at birth?

Lia could only press her hand against her forehead, as if she couldn’t hold on any longer.

“S-Sister Lia, come, have some tea first, don’t be angry. I’ll admit my mistake, okay?”

Lucy also knew she was at fault and quickly came to Lia’s side, bringing her a teacup, massaging her shoulders, and giving Shien a look.

Shien was speechless and could only pick up the teapot and pour tea for Lia.

“Have some tea, Sis.”

Shien smiled at Lia.

“Sis?”

Lia finally came back to her senses. Looking at Shien, who was smiling at her, her expression finally softened a bit.

This address of “Sis” already proved Shien’s attitude and was also his assurance to Lia.

That was, he would marry Lucy.

“Sigh…” Lia sighed. “Since you two have this plan, then as long as the outcome is good, I won’t say anything more.”

Lucy secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Then, about this matter…”

Shien subtly reminded her.

He was naturally referring to the husband selection.

“Don’t worry, I’ll cooperate with you.”

Lia said with exasperation, making Shien and Lucy finally smile.

The two exchanged glances, one rolling her eyes, the other beaming. It was all unspoken.

Seeing this scene, Lia felt complicated, as well as a bit envious and lost.

So, her sister had already found her happiness.

What about her?

Where was her happiness?

Thinking of the Lucica family, the envy in Lia’s heart turned into bitterness.

Perhaps, she would never be able to compare to her sister?

She was better than her in every way.
