Chapter 161 161 - Veronica Blasphame
Her red crimson eyes combined with her blood red hair made me think of her as something extremely dangerous. But it also made her ethereal to me, someone like her shouldn't exist in this plain mortal plain of ours.
Her black dress with red linings gave her a dark but regal feeling which pushed up her impressively large breasts.
The face of her so exquisite, so perfect that I can't compare it to anyone or anything… maybe she is somewhat close to the goddess but the goddess was in a league of her own. Still, to be able to compare even a bit of this woman to the goddess was a great feat in its own.
She had a youthful view that was magnified by her mature presence.
She is too beautiful… more so than anyone I have ever seen in both of my combined lives.
Is she really human?
"Took you long enough." She spoke with a smooth tone that flowed like melody in my ears. Her voice was not only smooth but also had a sweet ring to it.
Her pull is so strong that I couldn't even answer her. But somehow I was able to get out of this hypnotic feeling that she put on me.
My eyes seemed to blur her image for a sec as I got back, "Um… sorry, I kinda seemed rude for a second there."
Abigail's eyes widened for a brief moment which quickly reverted back to their calm, calculating state, "Is that so... I'm sure it must have been from the journey you just came from."
"Yes, that probably is."
With that, silence seemed to occur between us as we both sized each other up. I glanced at her with my overly OP eyes which only made her beauty and worth stand up and she sized me up with those eyes that seemed as if it just found its new toy.
After some time, we finally were able to get a summary of each other.
'She's dangerous.'
'He's not ordinary.'
Abigail smiled with that thought and pointed me to a seat, "Are you going to keep standing or are you going to give me some company?"
I laugh at that, "Haha… sure, if that doesn't bother you Ms. Veron-"
"Mrs. Veronica Blasphame." She corrected me.
At that correction, I don't know why but I felt a bit of a sting at my heart. Still, I made sure not to show it on my face and sat in her opposite seat, facing her through the table.
"Well… it seems we've been put through a bad conjunction, hah." I say patting my thigh as she nods.
"Yes, that is so. I didn't think that we both will get fooled like this by that man. He seemed a bit shady to me when I met him but my husband didn't listen and just accepted his words at face value." She said with anger which I couldn't quite place if it was real or not.
"Alas, you're husband wasn't the only one who got fooled by him." I say, giving a brief glance at Redwick who lowered his head in shame, "My men too were fooled by him which got us to this situation."
What we are talking about may seem completely strange to you, or it definitely is. Well, that's what you get when you have no context.
Alright then, small explanation.
Previously when I had asked Raven about if something was wrong he recounted a story to me. The story started a few hours after I had left for the capital, with a carriage arrived at the mansion.
Inside it, were two women. A maid and this lady Veronica Blasphame that sits in front of me. They told Anna, Redwick and the others something that shook them to their core.
That this mansion was theirs and we were occupying it unlawfully.
Yeah, I know… it seemed very sketchy when a beautiful woman combined with another one suddenly came and accused us of living in the new house that I recently bought.
Way too sketchy.
Still they couldn't just kick them out like that. It's not like we were living in the deep woods with no civilization for miles and an wolf army that is supposed to do my bidding.
…Yeah, I would have totally kicked them out if I was here. But unfortunately, Redwick was a man of honor and he had a soft spot for women of all caliber.
So he went the lawful approach and asked for the document.
This is where things get awry.
This woman gave him the document which was actually real and not fake as Redwick and the others thought. What was much more surprising was that after comparing it with the document that I got from the original owner, mine turned out to be fake.
Well, it wasn't actually fake but Veronica's turned out more real than mine.
Does that sound confusing and hard to understand? If it is then I'm glad.
Because I don't understand shit that's been happening over here!
How the fuck did I get the fakey document and this unknown but extremely super hot woman have the real one?!
There was no indication of her or there being a fake document in the novel. Arthur didn't get fooled like this in there. So who is this woman and how the fuck did I get stuck like this at such a situation?
Maybe this is just karma coming back to bite me after I killed… way too many that I can't remember.
So after that reveal, surprisingly the woman didn't complain and she didn't even call the cops on us. Instead she insisted or more like authorized my people that she'll be staying here until I came back and talked it out with me.
Believe it or not, Raven actually said that he couldn't defy her words even though he tried hard. He said that it was extremely difficult and her words always made him do everything out of its proportion.
Though, she didn't ask much from anyone nor did she try to pry too much into me except for who I am, why I went to the capital, what kind of person was I and what kind of things I liked… the last one was a bit unusual but since she's hot, I'll let that red flag go pass me.
So here we stood… or sat actually.
"So Mrs. Veronica, as much as I like talking with you-"
She interrupted me at that, "Oh! So you like talking with me? I like talking with you as well."
"Not what I was trying to sa- Wait! Did you say you like talking to me?" My mind itself reverted back to her praise.
"Hmm… you seem like a nice man."
"Oh! That's good… or it isn't. What do you mean by a nice guy… do you mean like a nice guy or a nice nice guy?"
"Maybe…"
"Wait! What am I even asking anyway? I'm going way too out of topic." I said which immediately made her raise her brow.
'Hmm! As I thought. That ability doesn't work much on him. Just like that kid, Arthur.' Her eyes squinted looking at Henry who was confusingly saying things that he himself didn't understand.
'Does he have some connection with that cat?... let's just see for now.'
Finally, I stopped breaking out of notion and ask directly, "Mrs. Veronica, are you trying to hypnotize me?"
What do you think?
