Due to that reasoning, wasnât it a good thing that he was dying now?
ââ¦If you truly wish to see him for one final time, I may have a solution for you, missâ¦â
âWhatâs your plan?!â replied Xavia immediately upon hearing that.
However, she quickly realized her gaffe and said, ââ¦W-who the hell would even want to see him?
Actually, hold on, Iâd really love to see the miserable state heâs currently in before he dies! Hahaha!â
ââ¦I see. Regardless, the key to the dungeon has always been in the hands of the Moldell familyâs butler. Since Iâm acquainted with the butlerâs chance, there exists a chance that he may help us!â
replied the bodyguard.
âPlease help me contact him then!â said Xavia.
A little while later, the duo stood before the butlerâs son that Xaviaâs guard had mentioned. The lad himself had a crooked back and he immediately began shaking his head rapidly upon hearing Xaviaâs request.
âNow hold on! Do remember that Gerald is currently the most wanted person by the Moldells! Even my father isnât qualified to meet him at this point! What more, the security within the dungeon is extremely strict to the point where several of the Moldells themselves arenât able to pay him a visit! Imagine what that would spell for a Long!â
âThere must be a way for you to get me in! State your condition!â replied Xavia as she looked at him right in the eye.
Hearing that, the butlerâs son momentarily stared at Xavia before a wretched expression formed on his face. Seeing that, Xavia couldnât help but take a few steps back.
ââ¦With all due respect, Miss Yorke, Iâve heard that your husband is a little slow in the head, correct?
You must be lonely if thatâs the caseâ¦â said the butlerâs son as he slowly walked forward and gently held onto Xaviaâs wrist.
âTo be quite honest, from the moment I met you, Iâve 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, Iâd be more than willing to die for your sake!â added the butlerâs son.
âPlease 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 Iâll be plenty grateful to you!â replied Xavia as she pulled her hand back.
Frowning, he then replied, âYou seem rather reluctant to leave that Gerald⦠What is your relationship with him? Why do you insist so much on seeing him?â
âI wonât lie that Gerald used to be my boyfriend back in university, Mr. Quillan. In short, I wish to meet up with him to exact my revenge one final time. After all, I wonât ever be able to do such a thing again once heâs dead!â said Xavia as a hint of resentment momentarily reflected in Xaviaâs eyes.
âHahaha! I see⦠So you had such a past with Gerald⦠Alright then, Miss Yorke. Iâm willing to risk my life to get your request done. However, I do hope that youâll eventually repay my favor once the matter is over, right?â said Quillan rather maliciously as Xavia turned around to leave as soon as she heard that he was agreeing to do it.
Not even looking back at him, she then replied, âThe next few days will be highly inconvenient for me.
Iâll thank you sometime in the future, Mr. Quillan.â
âThatâs completely understandable! After all, inconvenient days will always exist for girls!â replied Quillan with a wry smile after hearing that he would eventually get his way.
âRegardless, Iâll retrieve the key from my father tonight. However, do note that youâll only have five minutes with him! Otherwise, Iâll truly be as good as dead!â added Quillan.
âFive minutes is all I need! Thank you, Mr. Quillan!â
âAh, speaking of which, Miss Yorke-â
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, âAh, young lady⦠Iâve been interested in you for the longest time, you know? To think that Iâll finally be able to get my hands on you in a few daysâ¦
Hahaha!â
Soon enough, night fell and Xavia entered the dungeon sporting sportswear and a cap.
âRemember! Five minutes! Iâll stand guard over the door!â whispered Quillan as Xavia sneaked deeper into the dungeon.
Eventually, she caught sight of Geraldâs body that was sprawled on the dungeonâs floor.
âG-Gerald!â said Xavia, unable to hold herself back from calling out to him.
It had been an entire year since she had last met him. To think that they would meet again under such circumstances.
Seeing the terrible state he was in, all the hatred Xavia had in her heart simply melted away as she added, âG-Gerald, wake up! Are you truly going to die soonâ¦?â
Getting no reply, she then ran over to him, gently shaking his weak body. No matter how much she shook, however, his pale face remained unresponsive.
