Chapter 464
According to tradition, the groom needed to toast the guests. Although Sebastian didn't want to interact with these people, he didn't want to make things difficult for Cleef, so he went through the motions.
As expected, when he toasted the guests, they ignored him, making him feel humiliated.
However, to Sebastian's surprise, Theo accepted his toast and even poured him a drink in return.
With a smile on his face, Theo made it seem as if they were good friends to anyone watching. When Sebastian drank the alcohol Theo poured for him, Theo's lips curled into a sinister smile.
The jug he used was an Energy Jug with a mechanism that poured poison into Sebastian's drink.
The poison would activate when Sebastian used his energy, causing unbearable pain unless he regularly took the antidote.
Additionally, Theo had bribed the housekeepers and guards near their bedroom, ensuring he could make as much noise as he wanted without interference.
As night fell and the guests departed, Sebastian went to his wedding bedroom.
Closing the door behind him, he looked at the bride sitting on the bed, feeling no particular desire.
At that moment, Clara removed her veil, revealing a delicate face. Sebastian couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Today, Clara was meticulously dressed with a phoenix and traditional robe, making her look stunning.
Clara sneered. "Lackey, don't think that just because we completed the wedding ceremony, I'll be your woman. That's impossible. Just seeing you disgusts me, so you'll never touch me.
Sebastian frowned. He hadn't planned on touching her, but her constant insults irked him. As his memories slowly returned, so did his previous temperament, giving him an urge to slap her.
However, he decided to overlook it for Cleef's sake. As he prepared to find a place to meditate, the door suddenly opened, and Theo strode in.
"What are you doing here?" Sebastian's face darkened immediately. This was his wedding bedroom on his wedding night. While he had no intentions to do anything, it was outrageous for another man to barge in without knocking.
"I'm here to consummate your marriage for you," Theo said, closing the door behind him. "Consummate my marriage for me?" Sebastian almost thought he misheard. Was that sort of thing even possible?
"You heard right," Theo said arrogantly. "Clara is far too noble for a lackey like you. She's your wife in name only, but she's actually my woman. So, naturally, I'll be the one to consummate the marriage. You can cover your eyes and stay in the corner while I handle things."
"Get out!" Sebastian shouted angrily. Though he didn't like Clara, they were married now, and he wouldn't tolerate this insult. His temper flared despite his usual restraint.
"A lackey like you actually dares to tell me to get out? You must be tired of living," Theo said with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Stop wasting time. Do you want to consummate the marriage or not?" Clara asked impatiently.
"Don't worry, my dear. I'll deal with him and then take good care of you," Theo said, casting a lewd smile. "You heard her. The bride can't wait to be with me. Cover your eyes and stay out of the way."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Don't try anything foolish. You're not a match for me, but you've also been poisoned, you see.
"The moment you use your energy, the poison will activate, making you wish that you were dead," Theo taunted.
Sebastian smirked sarcastically. His physique was highly resistant to toxins, and after changing his cultivation method, it became even stronger. His spiritual energy could easily neutralize poisons.
He had noticed the poison as soon as he drank it but didn't care, treating it as if it were a supplement.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
"Lackey, if you don't believe me, try using your energy. The pain will be unforgettable," Theo jeered.
Almost before Theo finished speaking, Sebastian suddenly punched him in the mouth.
