Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!-Chapter 303 - 201: In That Case, I’d Rather Die

Chapter 303: Chapter 201: In That Case, I’d Rather Die

Outside the corridor, feeling the cool night breeze, Tiya, who had been somewhat confused in her thoughts, gradually came to her senses.

For a moment, an incredible array of emotions flooded her heart.

Aside from the twelve years of lost memories, this was the first time in years she had taken such a “rebellious” action.

Though it was called rebellion, in truth, she had already violated the laws of Saint Laurent.

Strictly speaking, she was now, like Lynn, a fugitive wanted throughout the city.

In the past, such a situation would have been unimaginable.

...

Over the previous two days, whether fleeing for her life or caring for the unconscious Lynn, she had been too exhausted to consider what to do next.

However, just now, even Lynn had brought up this point, prompting her to subconsciously take it into account.

After all, she was ultimately going to return to the Silent Church.

Putting aside the fact that it was her second home where she was raised, there was the upcoming Moonlight Holy Scripture.

As the Silent Saintess, she had been taught from a young age that she existed to serve the Holy Lady since the day she was born.

The Moonlight Holy Scripture was a ceremony where successive Holy Maidens devoted their entire being to the Holy Lady to be purified.

At that time, all the faithful of the Silent would witness the miraculous descent of the divine.

It was an opportunity but also an inescapable duty.

But now, the Silent Saintess, who should have been sequestered in preparation for the ceremony, was instead fleeing through Glostit with a thug who had killed a prince, evading pursuit.

Tiya dared not consider what she would face upon returning to the Church.

Of course, her greatest fear was seeing Xiya, her brother, show disgust and disappointment towards her.

Was she afraid?

Certainly, there was fear.

After all, she was the revered Holy Lady, leading a blissful and spiritually enriched life, loved and loving, before she chose to take Lynn away that night.

But now, all that had turned into a mere illusion.

Unexpectedly, she found herself with little regret.

She felt that even if she could reverse time and experience that moment again, she might still make the same decision without hesitation.

Therefore, the future could only be met one step at a time.

Tiya sighed softly.

Just then, her acute hearing suddenly caught a disturbance coming from the tavern downstairs.

Listening closely, she made out a few city guards causing trouble and demanding protection money from the innkeeper.

“Right… the warrant… a man and a woman… keep an eye out…”

Leaving, Tiya caught bits of key information from their sporadic conversation.

It seemed that the whole of Glostit was under martial law; all entrances and exits were blocked, making it no easy task to get Lynn out of the city.

Furthermore, this inn had attracted official attention and was no longer safe to stay in; they would have to leave first thing in the morning.

But as for fleeing, Tiya was not particularly skilled, and fell silent, overwhelmed by the thought.

Then she remembered that there was someone in the room with a sharp mind, adept at many underhanded dealings, who would surely be familiar with such situations.

With this thought, relief washed over her, and she clenched the Moonlight Scepter as she hurried back to the room.

“You…”

Tiya approached the bedside, about to speak, but her expression suddenly changed.

Lynn, who had been awake just a moment ago, was now lying motionless on the bed, pale as death, with no rise and fall of his chest, as if he had lost all signs of life.

…

The journey through the space-time passage was both long and brief.

It seemed to last years, yet felt like only a few seconds had passed.

When Lynn became aware that his consciousness had returned to his body, the feeling of weakness and discomfort once again swept over him.

He slowly opened his eyes.

He had thought he would be greeted by the same damp and musty darkness of the small room.

However, to his surprise, he was met with a warm and sweet breath, as if someone were close, intently observing him.

Lynn instinctively opened his eyes, then met a pair of emerald-green eyes gazing back at him.

In that instant, he sensed a hint of anxiety and concern in the girl’s gaze.

With this realization, a warm current surfaced in his heart.

“Voya?”

Lynn asked instinctively.

Her response was swift.

Upon seeing him slowly awaken, Tiya instinctively sat upright, shyly diverting her gaze and nonchalantly flicking her long hair beside her ear.

“…I thought you were dead.”

She knelt on the bed, awkwardly shuffling back on her knees before rising and standing to the side.

Lynn, ever the gentleman, graciously overlooked her embarrassment.

Meanwhile, a strange and oppressive emotion welled up within him.

Just a moment ago, inside the Pantheon, even the Witch had coldly sentenced her to death, telling him that the future awaiting this girl was destined to be tragic.

Yet in the blink of an eye, he once again saw her appearing so vividly before him.

The impact on Lynn’s inner world was undeniably intense and contrasting.

But for now, Lynn, clueless about the matter, could only use a smile to cover up the complex emotions in his heart, “It’s getting late, Voya, you must be tired, right?”

Upon hearing this, Tiya, whose face was slightly flushed, looked back at him, “Regarding our next move, I have some things to discuss with you.”

“Right now, all of Glostit is under martial law; it’s nearly impossible to leave the city at a time like this.”

“After giving it some thought, it seems that our only option might be to try our luck at the Black Street Market in the North District, to see if we can find a secret passage, or perhaps hire some gang members to smuggle you out.”

“What do you think?”

She glanced at Lynn, seeking advice from him.

However, he simply nodded, “I think it’s a good plan, Voya. Thank you.”

Hearing this, Tiya felt slightly disappointed.

Although this plan was the result of careful consideration, she didn’t believe that by her own intelligence alone, she could outmaneuver the entire populace of the city.

It seemed like he didn’t have a strong desire to escape.

She recalled how he had often gambled with his life as if it held no value.

Why were there people so careless with their own lives?

Did he not realize that there were people who would worry about him?

Of course, Tiya wasn’t referring to herself, but to the Third Imperial Princess and others.

Seeing that Lynn wasn’t interested in the topic, Tiya, though hesitant to speak, decided not to bring it up again.

After a moment of silence, she spoke softly, “The Lower City is vast, and the Black Street Market in the North District is several hours away. We’ll have to pass through numerous official checkpoints along the way; it’s not going to be easy.”

“If that’s the case, let’s go to bed early and get good rest. Tomorrow, we’ll leave this place.”

After saying this, Tiya walked to the window, observed the surroundings for a while, and then gently drew the curtains.

Having done this, she walked over to the nearby sofa, sat down gently with the Moonlight Scepter in her arms, as if she was prepared to spend the night that way.

But someone on the other side couldn’t stand it any longer.

“That won’t do.”

Lynn suddenly spoke up.

“What’s wrong?”

Tiya opened her eyes and looked back at him, only to find Lynn struggling to sit up.

“It is you who needs rest the most.”

He looked at Tiya with a serious expression.

Tiya was taken aback for a few seconds, then frowned, “Lie down, your wound hasn’t healed, and it could easily burst open again…”

“Unless you agree to lie down on the bed and rest,” Lynn interrupted her, pointing to the space beside him, “This bed is large, and we are both fully clothed. It’s just resting for the night; nothing will happen.”

At that moment, Tiya was indeed exhausted to her limit.

But the last bit of stubbornness in her heart supported her, making her reluctant to compromise.

Seeing this, Lynn was quiet for a few seconds, then a hint of sadness crossed his eyes, “I’m sorry, perhaps I misunderstood.”

“I thought that after this incident, our relationship had finally made some progress, so I got a little carried away just now. I am truly sorry…”

Seeing the young man’s somewhat discouraged expression, like a wilted, disheartened puppy, a softness surfaced in Tiya’s heart.

After a quiet moment, she slowly stood up.

“There has to be a blanket in between.”

A few minutes later.

Feeling the faint scent that hovered at the tip of his nose and the slightly rapid breathing of the girl under the tension of the moment, Lynn tried to force a smile.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t muster it.

“This is the tragedy that fate has written.”

The words of the Witch Miss still echoed in his ears, weighing down on Lynn’s heart.

“By the way, Voya.”

After a long while, he suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.

“…”

Tiya on the other side of the bed didn’t respond, but her body tensed slightly, her delicate little feet wrapped in white silk gently rubbing against the fabric of the bed.

For a girl untouched by the world, sharing a bed with a boy she was not very familiar with was stimulating enough to leave her somewhat at a loss.

However, Lynn was unaware of the girl’s turmoil and simply continued softly, “If…I mean, if.”

“If one day, you face two paths.”

“One path leads to an inevitable death, while the other offers survival but at the cost of becoming a puppet to some being.”

“What choice would you make?”

As he spoke these words, Lynn gently touched an object in his arms.

It was a conical spike, cold and bone-chilling to the touch, exuding an evil and corrupt aura.

After finishing, the atmosphere fell silent once again.

And this time, the silence lasted a very long time.

Just when Lynn was beginning to wonder if the other person had fallen asleep, the girl’s light voice suddenly came through.

“Rather than being controlled by others, I would choose to accept the death that fate has in store.”

Hearing this, Lynn’s hand, holding the conical spike, shook slightly.
