Chapter 159

Lucky 159

"That explains a lot…"

Marianne muttered, she realized that Calix was the reason why her cultivation increased. She didn't know the exact reason, but her heart was confidently telling that Calix was the answer, one way or another. 

"Excuse me, Lady Marianne?"

"Oh? Ah, nothing, just continue with your work."

The maids nodded and started showing her the dresses that she wanted to wear. However, Marianne didn't think about the dresses that the maids were showing. So she just randomly pointed her finger and the maids gasped because what Marianne chose was too expressive and hot. 

But because Marianne chose it, the maids did their best to dress her. 

Marianne was thinking about Calix so much that she forgot about her environment. 

She took a flying car and asked her new driver to take her to the amusement park. Because the amusement park was in the Port of Aoneon, it won't take long before they reach the place. 

To be fair, because of the incident, Marianne's uncle insisted to screen every worker in Marianne's mansion. He didn't want to have another incident again. So most of the workers were inspected and confirmed that they were clean. It seemed that only Leon and his hired bodyguards were the spies. 

But Marianne still had trust issues so she didn't want any bodyguard anymore even if her uncle begged her to. Marianne decided to do this independently, as long as she could. Of course, she still needed a driver because she wasn't good at driving, so her uncle got one of their trusted drivers to work for her. 

Anyway, from now on, Marianne didn't want any bodyguard close to her. She was sick of them. 

While riding the flying ship, Marianne was biting her fingers, she was nervous and she didn't know why. 

When Marianne confirmed that what Sana said was real, she decided to talk to her again. After all, Sana helped her to confirm that Calix and Marianne were connected by fate. 

Yes, Marianne strongly believed that. Because Calix was the person who could make her stronger, Marianne already decided that Calix is her property, quite fast to be honest. Heck, she didn't even ask about Calix's approval. 

Marianne even has a pouch of diamonds to ask Sana again. She wanted to ask how she could successfully seduce Calix. Sana's answer was right last time, so she wanted to consult her again. She trusted the amusement park owner this time, she believed that her ability to answer every question was overpowered. 

'Ah, I remembered that I have to use another person to ask her because a person can only ask once. Never mind, it's not a problem, I can use my driver to ask for my question instead.'

She nodded, the diamonds in her hand were gifts that she received from her suitors who had feelings or hidden motives for her. Marianne didn't care for them, because she understood that no one from her suitors loved her truly, they only wanted her connection, beauty, and power. So she finds them disgusting, people who hide their real emotions. So she might as well gave half of the diamonds to Sana because Sana helped her a lot this time. 

'Only a few people are true to me. Not even my parents and uncle see me as a person, I'm just an object for them. I guess except for Calix, no one sees me for what I am.'

No one could look at her eye to eye without being affected by her charm, except for Calix. He might be angry at her but at least he was not a hypocrite. As for Scarlett, Marianne hated her so she was not part of the equation. 

Marianne is an Elf, so people adored her, but no one actually sees her for what she is. Calix hating her, yet kissing her lovingly is the truest thing that she ever experienced. She felt that Calix's kiss was from his emotions. 

Her heart was beating so fast while remembering that moment. Calix hugged her tightly, then he started kissing her so roughly, hungry for her. Marianne felt like her heart would explode, that moment was out of her expectation. She didn't know that Calix, the person whom she bullied, would kiss her like that. It was out of this world experience, that sensation was one of a kind. 

"Lady Marianne, we are here."

"Good."

She regained her focus and nodded. 

The driver landed on the parking lot and assisted Marianne, yet he couldn't help but stare at Marianne's dress. Marianne clicked her tongue but she decided to hold it in, she didn't want to spoil this moment. Besides, she wanted to use this driver to ask Sana. 

Marianne was already used to this kind of stare anyway, but it didn't mean that she liked it. The adoration and lust in the people's gaze, Marianne was living in that kind of world. Perhaps this was the curse of being an Elf. After all, no one else besides her had the most Elf-like appearance in this country or even the other countries. She knew that she had the thickest blood of Elf in her veins, because of her appearance alone. Not even her parents nor cousins had this kind of influence. 

Marianne strutted faster, she didn't want to linger longer outside where people could see her. She hated people's gazes. Yet, because of her wonderful dress, people couldn't help but look at her. She was so beautiful and lovely, gosh even the guys had a boner while looking at her. 

She sighed in relief when she reached Sana's slightly large door. However, her feet stopped when she meet someone. Never in her mind did she expect that she would see him here. Her blue eyes trembled and she almost lost her strength. 

"C- Calix?"

She tilted her head. Perhaps she was just hallucinating. 

"Eh, Marianne? What are you doing here?"

Then, Calix turned around and found her. He was shocked too, he didn't expect that he would meet Marianne. On top of that, he was surprised that Marianne was wearing something provocative. 

"… Is that the Virgin Killing Sweater?"

For a second, Calix almost lost his reasoning. He wanted to pull her towards him and cover her body against the lustful eyes of the people around them. He swallowed hard and averted his gaze instead because he knew his position. He understood that Marianne still hated him. He didn't have the right to protect her, after all he had done.
