"Clara, you've just gotten married and already want to murder your husband. That's quite ruthless of you," Hugo teased.
"You know he's just a lackey. I don't understand what spell he cast on my parents to force me to marry him. But I will not accept this fate. Only when that lackey is dead will I be free," Clara said viciously.
Despite Sebastian's shocking behavior the previous night, she still saw him as a housekeeper. Additionally, Sebastian slapping her and taking her innocence made her resent him deeply. She couldn't rest until he was dead.
"That's true. A lackey doesn't deserve you. But he's now your family's son-in-law. Killing him might cause significant trouble," Hugo said.
"Enough talk. Just tell me if you'll help or not," Clara asked impatiently.
"Helping you carries great risk. What's in it for me?" Hugo asked suggestively.
"As long as you kill him, I will be yours," Clara said through gritted teeth.
"Deal," Hugo said. He had been waiting for those words. He then moved to embrace Clara, but she pushed him
away.
"Don't be so hasty. Kill him first, then you can do whatever you want. Until then, you won't get anything from me, "Clara said.
She knew men were untrustworthy and just wanted her body. She wouldn't let them succeed easily as to also ensure they would be motivated to complete the task.
"I need an opportunity to kill him. But right now, I want you. Fulfill my wish, and I promise I'll kill him," Hugo tried again, but Clara pushed him away once more.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Don't rush. There's an opportunity for you in two days. The annual medicinal plant farm competition between the three major families is then, and that lackey will be participating. You can kill him openly there," Clara said.
"What? Your father is letting that lackey compete? He must be out of his mind," Hugo said sarcastically.
"Hugo Lorence, let me remind you, that lackey is not as simple as he seems. Don't underestimate him and end up regretting it," Clara warned.
"He's just a lackey. No matter how skilled he is, I can crush him with a single finger," Hugo said arrogantly. "True. You are the best among the young generation on Phoenix Island. Killing him should be easy.
"The only issue is making sure you face him in the competition," Clara said with a frown.
"I'll handle that. You just ready yourself for me," Hugo said as his hand caressed her smooth, delicate face. The touch made him impatient to claim her, but Clara gave him no chance and quickly left.
The day of the competition arrived quickly.
Held in a valley, the three major families gathered early in the morning to secure good spots to watch the event. Phoenix Island was isolated from the outside world. It had very few entertainment options, making this exciting competition a highly anticipated event.
As the sun rose, the core members of the three families began to arrive.
The valley's center was the competition area, with the Lorence family to the east, the Claude family to the south, and the Strauss family to the west.
Seats had been prepared, but only for core members and senior experts.
Sebastian, now considered a core member of the Strauss family, stood at the back due to his young age.
