Chapter 3.10
Although he has been taken prisoner, with Osmund there, the treatment he receives can be considered not bad at all.
Besides being bound by holy chains for the duration of his confinement, nothing else bothers him as he is already long accustomed to the endless looks of contempt directed to him. He is allowed to rest on a soft, cosy bed, eat fine meals, and as long as it is not dangerous objects, whatever else he requests for will be promptly delivered. The only thing that annoys him is being hugged, kissed and held by Osmund every day! Fortunately, he is already used to this level of intimacy in the second world, or else he would have long lost his patience.
But of course, he is still grieving over the plot…
As proven by the main leads themselves, the thought of them becoming a couple existed only in his imagination. Sui Yuan's elation is thus cruelly dragged down and tossed into the abyss. Once again having his plans destroyed by this male lead causes him to feel so sad that his throat clogs.
As of today, he only has one sole comfort. Even if he walked down the wrong fork of the road, having directly walked through several winding paths and bypa.s.sed a few small events in the plot, he has finally reached the exact same ending as the original text. Imprisonment…
In the story, because Nardred kidnapped the female lead and invades the nearest country, hence s.n.a.t.c.hing away a large piece of land, he drew the resentment of the major races as well as the male lead's ire. After failing to rescue Aurora by himself, the male lead uses Nardred as the common enemy as well as his charisma to rally a huge army. This formidable force slaughtered their way through the dark forces, arriving at the villain's castle where a showdown between kings unfold.
Powerful as Nardred has become, he is no match for Osmund and is thereby defeated. After rescuing the female lead, he drags Nardred back in chains to be put on trial.
Nardred's crimes are extremely grave, so naturally, the only thing awaiting him is death. Before execution, however, he must be purified in order to prevent his soul returning as a sinister lich.
Before the purification can conclude, Nardred staked his all in one last escape attempt, unwilling to give up this last chance of survival. However, he is cleanly beheaded by Osmund, who had his guard up the entire time, waiting for the villain to make his move. In the end, the villain BOSS meets a fitting end. This last scene for Nardred is Sui Yuan's remaining ray of light in the darkness.
Even if Osmund doesn't plan to kill him after the purification process, as the villain BOSS, Sui Yuan cannot possibly be willing to have everything he gained so far stripped from him, right? Therefore, he most definitely has to act out that final resistance, then force Osmund's hand during that short amount of time. This way, the suspense in the climax of the plot will play out nicely!
Thinking thus, Sui Yuan's erratic emotions settle. Although his Dark Kingdom hasn't expanded all that much, and he failed to kidnap the female lead, the main plot of the story is still on track. So he needs to ensure his death scene doesn't derail either. The lowest positive score possible…he can still achieve that at minimum, right?
Sui Yuan really feels that his requests in life have dropped significantly…
