Chapter 6
“Slander! I never spent money on Alexander!” I thought to myself.
Christopher was the one who insisted I take that compensation money and leave in the first place. I knew he’d bring this up eventually. I originally wanted to refuse, but that Christmas was right in the middle of wartime, and I was afraid I’d starve on the streets. Besides, I didn’t think Alexander was any better than Christopher–I just couldn’t stand those bugs.
I wanted to keep playing dead, but Christopher suddenly flew into a rage: “Stop pretending! Speak up!”
I coughed awkwardly, pretending I’d just woken up: “Christopher,
it’s so good to see you again…”
He ruthlessly exposed my lie: “You sure about wanting to see me?
Weren’t you desperate to marry a human? The way you look now
is just pathetic!”
I immediately dropped the fake smile, not expecting him to resort
to personal attacks.
Just as I was about to argue back, Christopher coldly reminded
me: “Do you remember what I told you back then?”
I shuddered in fear, feeling utterly hopeless.

were trying to escape.
The townspeople outside scattered in terror:
“Charlotte was brought back by Alexander–this has nothing to do with us!”
“This is all Alexander and Sharon’s doing. Lord Deity, please punish them!”
Sharon and Alexander scrambled to escape. In their desperation, they ended up wrestling with each other and tumbled at the church entrance.
Alexander punched Sharon in the face: “This is all your fault! If it weren’t for you, Charlotte wouldn’t have caught the deity’s attention! I really regret giving up Charlotte for you! Damn it, you’ve ruined my life!”
Sharon fought back, clawing at Alexander until his face was bloody: “You’re no saint either! Charlotte caught the deity’s eye, and now it’s too late for regrets!”
Christopher’s eyes blazed with killing intent.
Though I didn’t understand why he wasn’t seeking revenge on me but instead wanted to avenge me, I knew there’d be serious trouble if he killed someone. So I deliberately bit my lip and spat
out blood.

Christopher looked at me anxiously: “What’s wrong? Why are you
I suddenly realized Christopher was actually kind of cute.
Alexander and Sharon at the entrance seized the opportunity to escape.
Christopher belatedly asked me with displeasure: “You did that on purpose? You wanted to help that man escape? Do you want me to spare him, or will you stay?”
Without hesitation, I said: “I choose to stay!”
Of course, I made this decision not for Alexander’s sake, but because I didn’t want Christopher to kill anyone because of me. Compared to the wickedness of human hearts, Christopher didn’t seem so terrifying after all.
My choice made Christopher smile. He said: “Back then, you refused to stay even if it killed you, but now for that man’s sake, you’re willing to stay by my side?”
That’s not what I was thinking at all!
Christopher was so furious he lost his composure and threw me to the ground: “What does he have that I don’t? That worthless piece of trash can’t compare to me! I’m going to kill him right now!”
Seeing how serious he looked, I quickly crawled over and hugyed
him.

I said weakly in a hoarse voice: “This time, I want to stay… I want to try getting along with you…”
