Therefore, despite her loss, she didn’t target Shien.
However, she still felt indignant.
After all, even Shafney herself was on the verge of tears.
The storm came too suddenly, too swiftly. Even she was still in a daze, unable to believe that she, the Succubus who captivated countless beings and disdained even kings and heroes, was taken advantage of by someone she’d just met.
Worse, this person was her beloved younger sister’s fiancé.
Shafney wanted to cry but couldn’t, wanted to be angry but couldn’t, and could only fret, still unable to comprehend the situation.
Tonight, seeing Shien in her room, although surprised, she also wanted to vent her frustrations.
Since he already knew, couldn’t she, the actual victim, at least be angry?
But Shien didn’t give her the chance.
You say you suffered a great loss, but did I really gain a great advantage? Then do you dare to let me regain my memories and remember everything? What? You can’t? Then you’re telling me I don’t even remember anything, only feeling sore every day, and you want me to take responsibility? This is ridiculous.
Perhaps others would be overjoyed at gaining such an advantage, but Shien, who hadn’t intended for anything to happen between them, wasn’t easily fooled. He was even incredibly straightforward sometimes, not giving face just because someone was beautiful. Any reasonable person would be speechless.
Of course, being unreasonable was a common trait for women.
Shien was gambling, betting that Shafney wasn’t so consumed by hatred that she would seek revenge recklessly. If that were the case, then she might still be reasonable.
As expected…
“Fine, I’ll just consider myself unlucky,” Shafney sighed, pointing at Shien, “Now, can you leave?”
She chose not to pursue the matter. Although she felt complicated emotions, she didn’t harbor any hatred.
Shien wasn’t an ordinary man. He had already scored ninety-five points in her heart, second only to Airi. Moreover, he was Airi’s fiancé, someone she was interested in, a mysterious Hero with potential surpassing Mitra. These factors increased her tolerance.
If it were someone she wasn’t interested in, she would have already killed them.
Moreover, Shien had a big secret related to her mother, making him untouchable.
For these reasons, Shafney’s complex emotions couldn’t turn into hatred, and she could only accept it.
But now, it was Shien who wouldn’t let it go.
“You have to at least tell me what happened,” he said, looking directly at Shafney, “Why did things turn out like this?”
Shafney pursed her lips, then explained helplessly.
“Actually…”
She told Shien what happened, how she overheard his conversation with Gray, became playful, entered his dream, and then had her power suppressed due to an accident, leading to the subsequent events.
However, she didn’t mention the red gem. This matter was too important, and before discussing it with Sara, she wouldn’t dare to reveal it, fearing the God Race and the Human Race’s retaliation.
This was more serious than the Hero’s reappearance, which only threatened to break the peace and start a war.
If this matter were exposed, even the Supreme God might be involved.
Considering this, Shafney didn’t mention the red gem, only saying it was an accident, without specifying the nature of the accident.
The same applied to her second dream entry. She used the excuse of wanting to investigate the accident, but her plan backfired again.
As for last night’s events in reality, Shafney still hid the fact about the red gem, only saying she wanted to “connect” with Shien using her Unique Skill to learn the truth, but failed again.
Hearing this, Shien found it absurd.
“You did all these things to me without my knowledge?” He was shocked.
Shafney was a little embarrassed.
“I just wanted to find out what happened…” Who knew her plan would backfire so spectacularly, again and again? She was also frustrated.
Shien rubbed his temples. He didn’t know how to describe his current feelings. If he had to use one word, it would be “trap.” If possible, he even wanted to complain to someone.
“I don’t know anything, yet I somehow slept with the person least likely to have a relationship with me in this world.”
It still felt unreal.
Seeing him like this, Shafney was silent for a long time, then said, as if giving up,
“Forget it, there’s no point in deceiving ourselves any longer.”
Saying this, she extended a slender finger and touched Shien’s forehead.
In the next moment, a light flickered between his eyebrows, and his blurred memories returned.
Images flooded his mind.
The scene of him tearing Shafney’s clothes in the flower field of his dream, ignoring her cries.
The scene of him relentlessly tormenting her, refusing to stop even when she begged him.
And the scene of him pushing Shafney onto his bed last night in his half-asleep state.
The images returned one after another, his memories becoming clearer and more real.
When Shien opened his eyes again, he looked at Shafney with an embarrassed expression.
Shafney didn’t look at him, feigning composure, but her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her emotions.
“Do you believe me now?” she asked, her voice filled with resentment again.
