Chapter 8: Chapter 8

"I don't think you're a monster."

Having said that, it could be said that I didn't even lie.

The truth that there was no actual curse placed on the Cassius family would be revealed in a couple of decades.

I knew this because it was an immutable fact from the original novel.

The fear and disdain surrounding the Cassius family would end with the intervention of Britney. She would be able to find the necessary evidence that the legend was, in fact, only a legend and not a reality.

Britney and Robert would marry, and this would be a symbol of the prolonged truce between this family and the rest of the kingdom. From now on, the life of the Cassius family would completely change.

However, there was still a lot of time left before that moment came, and I wasn't sure if this time it would be a similar scenario. Because now, Britney wouldn't appear in Robert's life.

But even so, I hoped that even without her, the persecution of this family would eventually stop. In the end, evolution did not stand still, and eventually, everyone would finally understand that to believe in some ancient legend was equal to sheer nonsense.

Even if this realization would not come today, and even far from soon, it was for this reason, unlike the others, that I was not afraid to die from the curse, and decided to make contact with Rachel.

Although, I still couldn't think of her as an ordinary person. Even for the reason that just a few minutes ago, she was going to kill me just for talking to her!

Hearing my words, Rachel first fell into a stupor, then grimaced and roughly pushed me away.

"You're weird... but in a good way..." She muttered almost to herself, but I heard her anyway.

Well, at least this time, she was not trying to rip my hands off.

"You're not a monster," I repeated, "and I think people who think that way are stupid."

Rachel couldn't hide her surprise at my words. Then, her expression darkened.

"What makes you think that? All the aristocrats in this damn country call us cursed. Even the king is of the same opinion. So why... You're one of them, too."

"Just because I was born into such a family doesn't tell you who I am," I said, "and I know for a fact that you're not cursed."

"What makes you so sure of that...?"

"Well, first of all, I've already looked into your eyes many times, and nothing has happened to me yet," I smiled, "Besides, even after touching you, I didn't feel anything. Isn't that proof?"

Rachel was taken aback by my words.

"You... You're right..."

Seeing her reaction, I chuckled inwardly, realizing that the fish was hooked.

I knew this was the way to go from the start.

Thanks to the fact that I had read countless romance novels during my time in the hospital, I knew in advance what methods could help with influencing such a difficult person as Rachel.

In most works where the main character was a tyrant, the heroine was able to win his heart precisely for the reason that she treated him differently from everyone else. Unlike other people, who most often despised him, she gave him her love, and thus became special to him.

And considering that Rachel's type was almost identical to Robert's, and the only difference between them was that she didn't have time to cut up as many people as her son, then this method should have worked for her.

It seemed to turn out that way.

After all, I was able to tame Rachel faster than I had planned.

At least, that was what I'd hoped at first... Because I didn't expect what would happen in the next second.

"What did you say your name was?"

"Leriana," I smiled, "Leriana Ashford."

"Do you really want to be my friend?"

"Yes."

"And you're willing to do anything for it?"

"Y-yes..."

"Then get on your knees."

"Wh-what?"

"Get on your knees," Rachel repeated with a mocking grin, "A good dog should always obey its owner."

My first mistake was that I forgot about one main rule in the end.

The mother of the future tyrant almost always turned out to be much worse than her son.
