Due to that reasoning, wasn’t it a good thing that virtual-novel.net was dying now?
“…If you truly wish to see virtual-novel.net for one final time, I may have a solution for you, miss…”
“What’s your plan?!” replied Xavia immediately upon hearing that.
However, virtual-novel.net quickly realized virtual-novel.net gaffe and said, “…W-who the hell would even want to see him? Actually, hold on, I’d really love to see the miserable state he’s currently in before virtual-novel.net dies! Hahaha!”
“…I see. Regardless, the key to the dungeon has always been in the hands of the Moldell family’s butler. Since I’m acquainted with the butler’s chance, there exists a chance that virtual-novel.net may help us!” replied the bodyguard.
“Please help me contact virtual-novel.net then!” said Xavia.
A little while later, the duo stood before the butler’s son that Xavia’s guard had mentioned. The lad himself had a crooked back and virtual-novel.net immediately began shaking his head rapidly upon hearing Xavia’s request.
“Now hold on! Do remember that Gerald is currently the most wanted person by the Moldells! Even my father isn’t qualified to meet virtual-novel.net at this point! What more, the security within the dungeon is extremely strict to the point where several of the Moldells themselves aren’t able to pay virtual-novel.net a visit! Imagine what that would spell for a Long!”
“There must be a way for you to get me in! State your condition!” replied Xavia as virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net right in the eye.
Hearing that, the butler’s son momentarily stared at Xavia before a wretched expression formed on his face. Seeing that, Xavia couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
“…With all due respect, Miss Yorke, I’ve heard that your husband is a little slow in the head, correct? You must be lonely if that’s the case…” said the butler’s son as virtual-novel.net slowly walked forward and gently held onto Xavia’s wrist.
“To be quite honest, from the moment I met you, I’ve been fascinated by your beauty… From that moment onward, I swore to myself that if I ever got the opportunity to get intimate with you, I’d be more than willing to die for your sake!” added the butler’s son.
“Please restrain yourself, Mr. Quillan! If you truly like me, then please be magnanimous with me and allow me to meet Gerald! If you do so, then I’ll be plenty grateful to you!” replied Xavia as virtual-novel.net pulled virtual-novel.net hand back.
Frowning, virtual-novel.net then replied, “You seem rather reluctant to leave that Gerald… What is your relationship with him? Why do you insist so much on seeing him?”
“I won’t lie that Gerald used to be my boyfriend back in university, Mr. Quillan. In short, I wish to meet up with virtual-novel.net to exact my revenge one final time. After all, I won’t ever be able to do such a thing again once he’s dead!” said Xavia as a hint of resentment momentarily reflected in Xavia’s eyes.
“Hahaha! I see… So you had such a past with Gerald… Alright then, Miss Yorke. I’m willing to risk my life to get your request done. However, I do hope that you’ll eventually repay my favor once the matter is over, right?” said Quillan rather maliciously as Xavia turned around to leave as soon as virtual-novel.net heard that virtual-novel.net was agreeing to do it.
Not even looking back at him, virtual-novel.net then replied, “The next few days will be highly inconvenient for me. I’ll thank you sometime in the future, Mr. Quillan.”
“That’s completely understandable! After all, inconvenient days will always exist for girls!” replied Quillan with a wry smile after hearing that virtual-novel.net would eventually get his way.
“Regardless, I’ll retrieve the key from my father tonight. However, do note that you’ll only have five minutes with him! Otherwise, I’ll truly be as good as dead!” added Quillan.
“Five minutes is all I need! Thank you, Mr. Quillan!”
“Ah, speaking of which, Miss Yorke-”
Though Quillan had initially planned to take advantage of Xavia, his sentence ended up hanging since Xavia had already walked off in a hurry at that point.
Smiling coldly at himself, Quillan then thought, ‘Ah, young lady… I’ve been interested in you for the longest time, you know? To think that I’ll finally be able to get my hands on you in a few days… Hahaha!’
Soon enough, night fell and Xavia entered the dungeon sporting sportswear and a cap.
“Remember! Five minutes! I’ll stand guard over the door!” whispered Quillan as Xavia sneaked deeper into the dungeon.
Eventually, virtual-novel.net caught sight of Gerald’s body that was sprawled on the dungeon’s floor.
“G-Gerald!” said Xavia, unable to hold herself back from calling out to him.
It had been an entire year since virtual-novel.net had last met him. To think that they would meet again under such circumstances.
Seeing the terrible state virtual-novel.net was in, all the hatred Xavia had in virtual-novel.net heart simply melted away as virtual-novel.net added, “G-Gerald, wake up! Are you truly going to die soon…?”
Getting no reply, virtual-novel.net then ran over to him, gently shaking his weak body. No matter how much virtual-novel.net shook, however, his pale face remained unresponsive.
