Otome Shuraba: The villain heartthrob refuses to flirt

Mark's eyes were wet from recalling the dream, which made Erin's heart tremble.

Not to mention Mark, who was in a dream and experienced it himself.

As far as she was concerned as an observer, this dream was quite tragic.

"It's just a dream."

Eileen couldn't hold it back and stretched out her hand to hold Mark's face.

"No matter what, I would never do something so cruel."

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her soft fingertips, Irene said softly:

“That’s it, you don’t need to talk about the subsequent dreams.

"If my guess is correct, your next dream should be that the emperor appears and saves you and your child."

With the soft and boneless palm touching his cheek, Mark felt warm in his heart, but his eyes were still sad.

"Yes, the Imperial Master's guess was correct. In the next dream, His Majesty the Emperor did come.

"But he only saved me, not the children. He came too late."

Erin: “…………”

"Later, I woke up from the nightmare, but my first reaction was not to resent you.

"On the contrary, I feel that His Majesty the Emperor made a mistake in saving me, and I would rather die in your hands.

"Then...something terrible happened.

"In my next nightmare, instead of continuing the dream, I repeated it.

"I have experienced it again. You killed my relatives and prepared to torture and kill the children.

“But the difference this time is that the Emperor came earlier.

"Although he didn't save the twins' lives, he saved our little girl."

When Irene heard this, her eyebrows tightened, and the coldness in her purple eyes was like frost.

"Every dream you have from now on is going on, with me chasing the child?"

"Yes."

"Is it true that every time your children are on the verge of death, the emperor appears and saves you?"

"Yes."

"Mark, how many times have you had this dream about your beloved wife chasing and killing your beloved daughter?"

"I don't know, I can't remember clearly."

Feeling the wet heat in her palms, Erin sighed heavily.

"Why didn't you come to me sooner?"

"Because I dare not..."

Seeing the uncontrollable tears in the man's eyes, Irene was speechless for a moment.

"Then if you don't dare, why did you show up at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion again today?"

Mark replied: "Because I discovered that this is no longer just a dream.

“The recurring nightmares have begun to affect my sanity.

"I even woke up from a dream every day. For a long time, I couldn't tell the difference between reality and dreams."

Wiping away the tears on his face, Mark looked at Erin firmly.

"Master Imperial Master, I didn't dare to come to you because I was afraid that you would think my dream was trespassing. I was deeply afraid that you would hate me even more than before.

"But after I woke up from the dream yesterday, I thought about the contents of the dream, and I actually felt a trace of hatred for you.

"I love you so much, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for you.

"But I would actually hate you because of a few fleeting dreams. This is so abnormal!

"So, Master National Preceptor, I have the courage to come to you and explain everything.

"Even if you hate me, abandon me, denounce me, or belittle me, I don't want to hate you."

The huge office hall echoed with Mark's unswerving voice.

This fiery loyalty filled with ultimate love made Eileen's heart warm.

She stood up, walked to Mark and squatted down.

Instead of looking down from above, he slightly raised his head to look at him.

"Sir Mark Lowell, thank you for your fiery loyalty.

"Thank you even more for being able to resist the fear in your heart and being willing to tell me all the truth.

"I won't blame you for overstepping, and I won't despise you for snooping.

"I admit, the night you first came to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion to find me, I not only scolded you angrily, but even beat you.

"But I really just want you to succeed and become a talented person, instead of wasting your talents and being addicted to love.

"If you were hurt by my words and deeds at that time, I can apologize to you, right..."

"Do not!!"

Like a thunderbolt, Mark turned pale instantly.

"Don't apologize to me! You are not wrong! It was always me who was wrong!

"Master National Preceptor, I know, I know you just hate that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

"I'm just blaming myself. It's because I'm not good enough, it's because I'm not worthy, it's because..."

"you are excellent."

He reached out and touched the magic gem held tightly in the man's palm.

The corners of Eileen's lips raised slightly, revealing an extremely gentle smile.

"In just a few months, you can already forge artifacts for me. You are excellent.

"But it's precisely because you are so good that you are being targeted."

"Being watched?"

Mark was stunned when he heard this, "Master Imperial Master, what do you mean?"

Eileen showed her face and smiled comfortingly.

"Mark, I can tell you with absolute certainty that this is not a precognitive dream.

"It's just that someone took a fancy to your forging skills and wanted to control you through your dreams.

"After all, the Loel family has been loyal to the empire for generations, but you are loyal to me."

"You mean..." Mark's eyes widened, "Father..."

Irene shook her head, "Nothing is determined yet. It may be your father, but it may also be the emperor."

"Your Majesty the Emperor?" Mark said.

Eileen smiled, "Didn't you say that the emperor gave you a bottle of holy water?

"After all, as you said before, you started dreaming after drinking the holy water.

"And in the dream, isn't the emperor also your strongest supporter?

"The whole dream is telling you that as long as you rely on the imperial power, you can get what you want.

"But if you are loyal to me, your good life will be gone."

With his round eyes filled with endless darkness, Mark murmured in disbelief:

"But His Majesty the Emperor has clearly said personally that you are the moon of the empire, and there is no difference between my loyalty to you and my loyalty to him!

"For this reason, he also reprimanded my father in public. How can he be so hypocritical when he is the king of a country?!"

"Don't be surprised Mark."

Irene couldn't help but raise her hand and ruffle Mark's hair, and Erin smiled even more gently.

“Actually, whether it’s your father or His Majesty the Emperor, you should understand.

"Although this kind of dream-weaving technique is very shameful, calm down and think about it carefully.

"You, the Loel family, have been loyal to the Empire for generations. This is your mission.

"If you only serve me wholeheartedly, it will not only bring bad publicity to your family.

"It will also threaten the authority of the royal family to some extent."

Lowering her eyes, Erin pointed at the magic crystal in Mark's hand and said with a smile:

“You only want to forge an exclusive artifact for me, and I’m really grateful for that.

“But the artifact should not only belong to me, it should belong to this empire.

"Besides, I also hope that the artifact forged by you, Mark Loel, can benefit all generations.

"Instead of following me to sleep underground a hundred years later, losing light and heat."

There is no resentment, no suspicion, all consideration and understanding.

Seeing Erin who was so kind, Mark's heart felt hot.

Who says the moon only shines and heats because of the sun?

The Moon of the Eton Empire, Eileen O'Lanley.

He is truly the most generous, dignified and honorable Imperial Master in the world!

"Yes!"

Mark knelt down on one knee with his right hand touching his heart, and bowed respectfully to Eileen.

"I listen to the Imperial Master. I will go into the palace to find Earl Jack tomorrow.

"I will definitely make the artifact I forge benefit all generations!"

It seemed like I heard a harsh word.

Eileen paused, "Who? Who did you say you were going to find tomorrow?"
