28 – Lily’s Shady Plan – 9
‘Here… Where is it?’
Seola barely opened her eyes. She had to put in a lot of effort to get hold of her still hazy consciousness. What she sees before her eyes is a completely unfamiliar sight. She is a bland room with minimal furniture. She doesn’t even have a window. The fire is off on that subject. All she can count on is a single ray of light streaming through the crack in her door.
She couldn’t move her hands or feet. Seol-ah was tied tightly to a chair in the middle of her unfamiliar room. She has knots tied around her limbs that she seems unable to untangle on her own. She tried to move her limbs just in case, but she didn’t budge. When she remembered that if she fell, she would have to lie strapped to her chair until someone came, and she quickly gave up.
“f*cked.”
She didn’t put an eyepatch on her eye or gag her mouth, though. Seol-ah is one of the most docile people who has ever cursed at Lily not only in her body but also in her previous life. Did not do it.
She herself was f*cked. She didn’t even need to think hard. She has been dragged to a place she doesn’t know where she is, and her hands and feet are tied. Seol-ah recalled her last memory before opening her eyes.
‘Lily, will you follow me for a minute after today’s class?’
‘Ah, sorry. I have a prior appointment today.’
On the last afternoon when Seol-ah was still conscious, she rejected Wilhelm’s suspicious offer. She was with him for the sake of the plan, but she honestly didn’t want to get involved privately. Seol-ah said that Wilhelm beat and bit her, and she eventually regretted it alone, giving her goosebumps whenever she whined. I intend to have a personal meeting with Wilhelm only if it helps my plan.
Wilhelm said he would understand and disappeared with a nonchalant face.
After all her classes were over, Seol-Ah, naturally thinking that Wilhelm would cling to her as usual, went looking for him. That psychopath nerd needs to be kept in the eye at all times.
‘What is it? Did you go first?’
The moment Seol-ah felt strange about Wilhelm, who did not come to her no matter how many times she searched for her, she felt an eerie aura running up her spine. She hurriedly looked behind her, but she was already late. Something covered her mouth. And she lost consciousness.
‘Really, something like that is the main character.’
Seol-ah had to admit that her plans had completely gone awry. Her Wilhelm sent her away coolly on the outside, but it seems that she didn’t really do that on the inside.
Seola sharpened her teeth. She is angry at the writer who treated such a psychopath as the main male lead, angry at herself for reading the novel as fun, and angry at something transcendent that sent her to this world without knowing why.
Apparently, when Wilhelm’s proposal was rejected, he decided to kidnap and confine himself for some reason. Inwardly, she pondered for a long time to see if she had missed something. But she missed nothing. The original story got tangled up with Mikhail’s existence. However, it is absurd that important events in the original work occur without any precursors.
Wouldn’t this make Wilhelm not just a character, but a living person?
In the original work, Wilhelm feels a strong possessiveness and obsession with Lily, who is confused between himself and Mikhail, and proudly declares to be his in front of everyone. However, he is still rejected by Lily, who decides it is not good for him to have too strong a connection with Wilhelm. In the end, his perverted desire explodes and Lily is imprisoned in a building he saved separately.
Of course, the most important trigger for kidnapping and confinement is public confession. Confidence, conceit, pride, self-esteem, self-love. In any case, when it comes to emotions that include self in front of them, Wilhelm is the one who never falls in. He, who has a stronger ego than anyone else, starts to run out of control after his confession is rejected.
But now? Wilhelm never confessed, let alone confessed publicly. She couldn’t even guess why things worked out this way. She sighed as she remembered her hands being tied as she was about to tousle her hair.
He now believes that the only thing he can trust is Mikhail, not the sea. Even in the original story, it was Mikhail who finally saved Lily.
‘Can I find it?’
Seol-ah was honestly not sure. Originally, she planned to meet and talk with the sea once more if Wilhelm made her public confession. Now that things have turned out like this, you have to pray that he successfully follows Wilhelm or searches all the empty buildings near the academy to find him.
However, she keeps thinking about the last meeting with him. Her own words, which were no different from her confession, and his calmly rejected answer linger in my ears. She is so confident that her original work has already started. That’s the only thing you can trust in this situation. There is no overall difficulty.
Will the sea come to save him? It wouldn’t be much of a problem if he left himself alone to Wilhelm and lived happily with her fiancé. Seol-ah found herself shivering before she knew it.
Everything felt silly. Originally, Seol-Ah’s plan was to leave the sea, which is unlikely to give her heart immediately anyway, and convince Wilhelm. So, she deliberately didn’t talk to the sea and kept going with Wilhelm. The goal was to make the confident Wilhelm move faster than the original. If you quickly pull the events of the original story little by little like this, eventually something will happen whether the sea comes over to you or you return to your original home. So she faithfully followed the events she experienced in the original story.
It was still in the beginning of the story anyway, so if we had to call it an event, it ended with the two of us eating and making eye contact. There was not much to be said for mental preparation. It was a short time, but I ignored the sea and focused on Wilhelm. Seol-ah gradually felt an unbearable desire grow in Wilhelm’s eyes. It was clearly faster than the original.
I was thinking of telling the sea if Wilhelm confessed like this and arresting him at the scene of his abduction. Originally, I was going to wait until the sea came to rescue me after I was kidnapped, but I changed my mind when I saw Wilhelm’s eyes. Even after the kidnapping of the original Lilya, she was ambitious enough to think that if she was subjected to such unspeakable things, she would rather use that as an excuse to catch the crown prince, but she herself could not do that. I absolutely have no intention of giving such a crazy asshole the first thing I’ve cherished for over 20 years, including her previous life.
Her purpose anyway was to gain the upper hand in her relationship with Wilhelm, and the changed plan only speeded it up a little, but it was the same in the big picture, so she thought there was no problem.
‘There is no such thing as no problem!’
Totally troubled. She clung to Bada more than the original, but she suddenly cut off her interest and went all-in to Wilhelm. In order to show her focus on Wilhelm, she deliberately ignored the sea and couldn’t tell him anything. She was completely tangled up.
She finally came to the conclusion that all she could do now was to pray quietly. Please, may the sea find him before Wilhelm does anything to harm him. If I go back, I will never get close to the original, Nabal, and Wilhelm, that psychopath.
After repenting for a long time, she finally gave up her thoughts and decided to focus on her faith.
‘God, Buddha, God Allah, Jesus, the Jade Emperor, the God of Heaven and Earth, the God of Light, the God of the Earth, the God of Sailing, who else? Anyway, please help me.’
She held on to the gods of the other world as well as the gods of the earth, which she did not normally believe in, and prayed for a long time. I don’t know how long she’s been like this. There is no clock or window in the room, so I have no idea how much time has passed.
-Kikkik
At that moment, Seol-ah felt the door to the room she was confined in open.
“The sea?”
Please! She prayed that the man in front of her would be the sea, and opened her eyes, which had been closed for her prayers.
“Who else is the sea?
‘f*ck.’
Fortunately, Seol-ah did not make the mistake of spewing her swear words out of her mouth. What appeared in front of her was Wilhelm, whose face was as usual, but whose eyes were burning with desire.
“Wilhelm, was it you?”
Seola took the attitude that she knew nothing. We need to figure out why he suddenly hit the jackpot like this.
“Answer me. Who is the sea Are you a foreigner when you hear your name? There is no place that matches the name of any country I know?”
“It’s my older brother’s nickname.”
She didn’t even spit in her mouth and spat out an excuse naturally. Among Lily’s many older brothers, there is one named Biden. It’s not to the extent that you can’t understand it if you put a steel plate on your face and cry. I want to believe that it is not.
“More than that, what is this? Are you here to save me?”
Seol-ah said, pretending to be as calm and calm as possible. Wilhelm took a step toward her without answering.
“Hey!”
Seola’s mask was cracked. I belatedly tried to cover her mouth at the scream that burst out involuntarily, but it was already too late. Hearing her scream, Wilhelm’s mouth twisted. A face that doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Wilhelm took another step forward.
“As expected, I knew everything.”
“What, what?”
Perhaps it was because she had already completely deviated from her original work, Seol-ah hated her tongue, which did not move as usual. Now, she is Han Seol-ah, a naive female college student whose hobby is reading romance fantasy novels at home, not Lily von Adamas, a rare femme fatale who manages the fishery between the prince and the grand duke.
“The fact that it was I who kidnapped and imprisoned you like this.”
“…… “
“Your eyes are clearly trembling with fear, even as her mouth asks if she has come to rescue her. He even screamed as I approached.”
Wilhelm seems to have noticed all of Lily’s masks. How did know?
“Why did you do this?”
Seola decided to change her strategy. Pretending to be Lily, who knows nothing of her anymore, doesn’t work for him. She needs to get as much information out of her as possible through her conversation with him and to keep him from touching her. She is similar to Shae Rajad from The Arabian Nights. She makes him interested in her.
“Since I met Mikhail on the eve, your appearance has changed.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Seol-ah pretended not to be stabbed, she said.
“Did you think you wouldn’t know? The way he kept glancing at Mikhail while he was talking to me?”
“…… “
When Seol-Ah heard Wilhelm’s words, she was speechless. You mean she’s so obvious that everyone gets caught? She screamed inwardly.
“I couldn’t stand the thought of you choosing Mikhail.”
“I haven’t even talked to Mikhail all week!”
“I know. So I thought this was my chance. Originally, I didn’t mean to do this, but Lily said you had a prior arrangement, so she used a bit of a violent method. I wanted to brand you as mine when the distance between Mikhail and you grew.”
“What a crazy bastard!”
Seol-ah couldn’t stand her screams, which were about to burst out at Wilhelm’s terrible lines. This cry of hers was also her own words. After all, isn’t she the story that this division broke out because she couldn’t maintain the perfect balance between the two like Lily in the original story?
“Is that the real you, Lily?”
“Right. Are you disappointed?”
Seola decided not to hide the fact that this happened. The good and innocent Lily von Adamas is dead. She is now an ambitious femme fatale, Lilli von Adamas.
“It’s more interesting than disappointing. Did you target me from the beginning?”
“Yes.”
“Then what about Mikhail?”
“Because if I only depend on you, I will always be inferior in a relationship. I wanted to create another wall that I could lean on.”
Wilhelm’s expression contorted once again at Seol-ah’s answer. In words, it is more interesting than disappointment, but it is clearly disappointed.
‘It’s pretending to be there all the way.’
Seola chewed on herself.
“It was like that. The face you showed me and the face you showed Mikhail were different. The smile toward me was somehow empty. The look you showed me was like a made-up.”
“I won’t deny it.”
Seola wanted to cry. Her acting was perfect. She just wasn’t acting when she was in front of the sea. Wilhelm perfectly caught that subtle difference.
“Then are all the images you showed me fake?”
“No, that’s not it.”
Actually, it’s all fake, but I don’t know what Wilhelm will do if he admits it here. Here we need to build a new character. Although she said that Seol-ah was a naive college student whose only bad things she did during her lifetime were cutting her hair and running away to eat tteokbokki with her friend, she had countless knowledge of romance.
‘What is needed here is a female protagonist who is ambitious and capable but unwittingly shows a human and emotional side to the male protagonist.’
“I really enjoyed some of the times I spent with you. Do you remember The day before the eve, the day you took me to the boutique to tailor my clothes?”
“Yes.”
“You made eye contact and smiled in the carriage on the way to the boutique. Was that expression really acting like that?”
It was all acting and I did it out of a sense of duty. In fact, even after spitting it out of her mouth, Seol-ah was worried. The whole body acting just now was done by Seol-ah, not Lily. Not perfect. I don’t know yet that Wilhelm will be fooled by this….
“Lily….”
Wilhelm reached out to me with his pupils trembling as if he had been completely fooled by my performance. It’s really easy. Seol-ah thought. However, accepting his hand here is the way to move on to the 19th gold scene and completely confirm the crown prince route. She bowed her head. Wilhelm’s hand caressed the air.
“Is it because of Mikhail?”
Wilhelm wrinkled his face. She seems to think that the reason she refuses his touch is because of Mikhail. Even if Seol-Ah didn’t have Mikhail, she held back what she wanted to say by saying no to you.
“I’m sorry. But….”
“Stop, don’t talk any more.”
“I’m so sorry. I still don’t know how to feel.”
Wilhelm has a completely immersed expression. Now, if you ask me to release you for a chance to choose you here, it’s checkmate. It’s nonsensical sophistry, but I don’t know. The important thing is that Wilhelm, who has immersed himself in the role of the main character of the love affair by himself, will accept this offer. Seol-ah smiled as she lowered her face.
“I want you….”
“Lily, I will make my mark on you. That trace will be a stigma that you are mine, a leash, and a restraint. So that I can forget about Mikhail, live my whole life looking only at me and thinking only of me. You are mine I have no intention of conceding to anyone.”
“Yes?”
What? What do you engrave? Stigma? Snood? Restriction? Seol-Ah’s brain stopped because of the bombardment of decadent words coming out of Wilhelm’s mouth.
“Don’t worry. I’ve been practicing Leave everything to me.”
“What, what are you practicing?!”
“They were cheap prostitutes, but they were quite usable as practice opponents.”
“f*ck!”
Seola couldn’t stand it this time. Suddenly, a double voice came out of her mouth.
“Lily, close your eyes. I will leave you with unforgettable memories forever. It will be an enchanting night.”
Her Wilhelm’s hand slowly stretched out towards her again.
“Kyaaa! Don’t do it! Stop!”
A scream escaped from Seol-Ah’s mouth.
– Bang!
“I told you not to do it, you crazy pervert!”
Wilhelm’s body floated up and crashed into the wall.
