The Villain's Redemption Chapter 202 A Little Blood

Chapter 202 A Little Blood

Lucinia looked at the five-bedroom house in front of her. Made of brick and some stones, the house looked a little older than her original expectations. She then walked towards the house as Victoria silently followed her. For some reason, the witch had been following her since they arrived in this gated house that the Duke owned.
"The Duke always stays in this house every time he visited the place," Victoria said behind her. "He always instructed everyone to keep it clean, as he was always the type to love cleanliness. The bed towards the west was his favorite. The next one was his study. I am going to sleep in the room next to his study. He always insisted on this arrangement."
"Hmmm." Lucinia only nodded, almost lazily. So, the woman wanted to tell her that she had been here a few times. Who cares? Lucinia's gaze turned dark.
"The Duke also wanted to — "
"You don't have to tell me these things."Lucinia was surprised to hear a tinge of jealousy in her voice. "Thank you for your concern, but I can assure you. Even if I destroy this house and kill you, he won't feel any anger towards me." She smiled at her before she marched towards the room that Mo Li was in.
Mo Li said that he would be in his study while she toured the house as he needed to attend to a few things related to the King and the killings. She actually didn't expect that Victoria would follow her around and start saying useless stuff like this.
"Mistress… Please forgive me." Victoria's hurried footsteps echoed against the wooden stair. Of course, Lucinia was not about to stop walking to wait for her. "Ahhhh!" the loud thud echoed, making Lucinia stop walking. It was followed by another. For a few seconds, Lucinia froze a sinister glint flashed in her eyes as she turned towards Victoria that was now sitting five steps below her.
"So, you fell." Lucinia didn't move. She didn't try to help the woman up or pretended to be concern about her. She was a damn witch! She could just create something to heal that wound on her hands.
"Mistress… please forgive me. Please… don't hurt me." Her voice was a little louder than usual. Lucinia immediately knew what she was planning to do. She lifted her head towards the top of the stairs and just as she expected, Mo Li was indeed standing there. Staring down at them.
Irritated, Lucinia snapped her gaze back to the witch. A sinister smile escaped her lips. "So you wanted to frame me for something I didn't do?"
Panic rose in the woman's eyes. She eyed Mo Li who … who looked like he wasn't planning to intervene before she looked at Lucinia. The plan was for her to grabbed into her, and both of them will fell on the stairs. She wanted it to look like Lucinia tried to hurt her by pushing her down, but she accidentally held onto Lucinia's clothes, pulling her down too. That scenario would look more believable than this one! All she wanted was to get some blood from the woman. A small sample should be enough for her to determine if Lucinia was indeed what they think she is.
However, since she already felt the Duke approached and Lucinia was already walking away from her, Victoria was forced to change her strategy. "Please… Mistress…" she sobbed, tears streaming down her cheeks. To be honest, she didn't understand why she felt it necessary to see the Duke's reaction. Was it because she hoped the Duke would get angry towards his wife? Did she hope that the Duke would defend her?
Victoria bit her lower lip from the pain in her lower back. Why does it seem that the Duke's relaxed expression was hurting her more than her back?
"What a useless plan." Lucinia's eyes were narrowed towards her. "Try again, woman. Try again." She said before turning her back on her and walking towards Mo Li. Surprised flashed in Victoria's eyes when Lucinia actually didn't touch her. Instead, she just walked away.
However, this surprise didn't last too long when she suddenly felt her arm turned … hot? No… this wasn't her blood turning hot. It was like her blood was boiling and swirling. It made her want to scratch her skin. Her eyes widened as she saw her stopped walking just in front of Mo Li. "You can now say that I really did something to hurt you."
Victoria frowned as she held her breath, her head started aching as the pressure on her blood intensified. She felt her neck started to turned numbed, her heart was racing against her chest. She forced herself to look at Lucinia's smiling face. All she wanted was to have Lucinia's blood! How did it all come to this? "Please… I didn't mean to…" Before she could utter the rest of her words, Victoria's consciousness left her. Seeing this, Lucinia shrugged before she continued walking towards Mo Li.
Then she smiled. "What's for dinner?"
"What do you want to eat?" He asked, his hand was behind his back.
"Do you think it's too much … if I want to eat you?" She giggled as she stood in front of him.
"No. I would be offended if you would choose to have some of your noodles instead of me… on our first night in this house." He chuckled before pulling her towards his arms. "You should be more careful. Sometimes… people have different motives."
"Hm?" Lifting an eyebrow, Lucinia let out another shrug. "Alright." She said before she looked at Victoria. "Asked your people to take her to the dungeons. She and I… needed to have a serious conversation about what she did."
"Alright. Now stop thinking about unimportant things and start thinking about… dinner." He pulled her towards his room before he started kissing her lips as if he just didn't spend the time on the carriage kissing her and making love with her.
"Greedy."
"As long as it's you… my little wife. As long as it's you."
