I could understand possessing the villainess in a novel. One could run away in the middle or suddenly pretend to be nice to change the story.

The moment I touched Theodore’s body, my hand flinched as if shocked by electricity. However, I hid my hand, pretending nothing happened.

“You are mistaken. Go to your guide before the misunderstanding deepens.”

How could an imprint forcibly made by magic be a true imprint? This was a relationship that would disappear the moment Theodore found his true guide. No, it had to be that way.

“When should I stop pretending not to know?”

Theodore’s sneer interrupted Eleia’s thoughts.

“Hmm? Until when should I keep being deceived, Eleia?”

He whispered more deeply than ever with eyes full of ecstasy.

“You have to take responsibility for me.”

Because you are my guide.
