Chapter 105 Negotiations 2

Van bit his lip hard .

“…So, I don’t plan to continue negotiating with you . Please forgive me for departing now . ”

“…Please wait!”

He approached me as I stood up .

But Tanya, Ryle, and Dida stood between me and him .

“Do you have any more business with me?”

“I, I…!”

I observed Van coolly as he shouted .

“What should I do! Help me please!”

Help me please…hm . Hearing his words, I couldn’t help but start laughing scornfully .

“Why oh why must I help you?”

“That…”

“I’m the ‘evil woman’ who was picking on the ‘gentle’ Yuri, right? Didn’t you already admonish me alongside Sir Edward? You want a person like that to help you without offering me anything in return?”

My voice was so cold that I scared even myself .

Hearing his pleas for help, my mind remained blank, thoughtless .

Of course I had no sympathy for him . And my position was no longer the warped sense of satisfaction I had felt in the past .

All that there was was…nothing . It really felt like nothing . I no longer cared what happened to him anymore

“My father was rejected from the position of the pope . But I thought that Yuri would continue to be by my side, just like before…!”

“But he suddenly became a stranger . As if we’d never known each other . ”

All in all, all Yuri wanted was the power of the church backing him up .

“Everyone else too, they were completely different . So cold . I…”

“So what?”

I answered coldly .

“Treated like a stranger by those you love? Everyone became cold, uncaring? Even if that’s your situation, I don’t really care . You must not have cared either when you chased me out of the academy, hm?”

Hearing me mock him, his face contorted .

“…Ah, it’s true . Yes, I stood on the side that pushed you out . And after doing that I still came here . Even I feel that I’m being an idiot . ”

“Oh? It’s good that you understand that . If that’s the case, then please leave as soon as possible . ”

“But even so, I can’t give up . I want to show the people who left me behind that they’re wrong . I don’t want to just give up without doing anything!”

“Ha…”

Hearing him snarl, I laughed . Was it mockery of him? Not completely so .

Unbelievable . Such a laidback, easy-going fellow, becoming like this because of how badly he wants change .

His face still twisted, he shouted, even though he knew that it was hopeless, so disheveled I could hardly connect him in my mind with the man I had known at the academy .

“Ah, yes . Honestly, I don’t care about the country . I just want the people who’ve abandoned me to come back . That’s why I’m here…!”

“So what if they come back? You beg for her love? Beg that you can continue to stand by her side?”
