“Aghng…humh..haa..hauh…”
Isolda was lying on the floor, her appearance in a mess.
Lying on the bed with his eyes averted from her, Bahamut was feeling a burning sensation in his stomach.
‘It was quite dangerous. I didn’t expect that Isolda would bring up something that wasn’t mentioned in the original story…’
Today Bahamut had called Isolda with a light heart as usual.
However, at a point where the atmosphere was heating up, Isolda suddenly started reminiscing about memories he didn’t even know, and Bahamut couldn’t decide how to react to such a situation.
‘Should I take this in moderation? No…if I’m even a bit careless, it might come back to bite me in the a*ss. Especially if it’s someone like Isolda…’
If Bahamut’s secret was revealed to such a smart woman, or if she felt even a slight sense of incongruity, it could become a problem in the future in one way or another.
That’s why Bahamut decided to disrupt the flow Isolda was creating, and chose a way to bury the situation at once by pointing out her status as a s1ave.
It was a slightly horrid way to stop her from talking about the past and at the same time make sure she never brought them up again.
Therefore, Bahamut proceeded to treat Isolda roughly and without mercy, just as he used to do when she was in the dungeon in the past, and as a result, Isolda was left limp on the floor gasping for breath.
‘That takes care of the issue… but I feel it was a bit excessive to act in such a way towards a woman who is now helping me in a lot of things.’
The current Isolda has been working quite hard to make up for her ‘sins’. She had changed so much that it couldn’t even be compared to how she used to be in the past. She was extremely critical about herself and was doing her best to become better person.
From Bahamut’s point of view, Isolda might be thinking that she had paid the price for her sins to some extent, and she had to do even more to compensate for her past mistakes in some way, resulting in what she tried to do just now.
Therefore, Bahamut couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for the fact that he treated her the way he did.
‘Well…I should compensate her for this matter when I have the time.’
And so, without knowing why Isolda had brought up such memories, Bahamut fell asleep thinking that he had safely put out the burning fire.
On the other had, Isolda could only shed tears of sadness in a daze.
***
Isolda struggled back to her room, her whole body screaming in terrible pain.
However, at the moment, what was causing the greatest pain to Isolda was not the physical part, but the mental part.
‘I…failed.’
Bahamut reacted very coldly when she brought up the memories of the past. His appearance was enough to shatter the weak hopes Isolda had in her heart.
However, Isolda didn’t feel any resentment towards Bahamut.
It was because she was aware that she had committed terrible evil deeds, and even tried to deceive Bahamut and use his love for her own gain. And now, she might be considered too greedy to want Bahamut to love her again.
However, despite that, Isolda wanted to look forward to even a feeble possibility.
‘I hope he still has feelings for me…’
Even a little bit would be good.
Isolda hoped that he would change how he looked at her.
However, her expectations ended in failure.
His cruel reaction confirmed that Bahamut no longer had any affection for her.
Isolda was feeling miserable.
‘Is there no way? Is there a way… for me to regain his love…’
Wallowing in sadness, Isolda lay down on the bed and began to shed tears.
It was the sadness of not being able to convey one’s feelings.
And, she felt a feeling of self-hatred for trying to use the past to win her beloved’s heart.
