In the book, her lines were written, not heard. But he knew that name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the name of the doll she carried when she was little. It was mentioned many times. There was no mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has to be her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard. For the first time since entering this place, real nervousness hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt it in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began walking toward the cell where the voice had come from. Each step felt heavier than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is she really here?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was eagerness in his eyes now. And something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If it is her... will I feel anything?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Will I feel what the past Julius felt? Will I feel what my Rose felt?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing grew slightly uneven as he moved closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, he was not calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the novel, she was found by the hero. He adopted her and raised her like his own child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was always something strange about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it became even stranger when she met the villain... and the villainess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not about her behavior. She was raised by the hero, so of course she hated the villains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strange part was not from her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever they stood in front of her, their expressions changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes they avoided hurting her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes they looked at her in a way that did not match their usual cold nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius remembered this and let out a slow breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he finally stepped in front of the cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ron... eat. When our parents come, we will go out, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small girl spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Round face. Pink hair. Pink eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was dirty. Her clothes were worn out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was smiling as she spoke to the half-torn doll in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stood still. He stared at the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not speak. He did not blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just stared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man walked closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? So this is the girl you like?\" The man looked at her with cold eyes. A small frown appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry. This one is already booked.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius did not move. His eyes stayed on the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ron, I told you not to call my father your father,\" the girl said gently. She was scolding the doll in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man clicked his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like this girl really got to you,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it’s impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The client comes from a very powerful family. No one can change it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave a fake sigh. \"Pick another girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius still did not speak. His eyes never left her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain started the moment he saw her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt like a knife stabbed deep into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knife turned slowly. His heart hurt so much he could not breathe right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind became empty. No thoughts about revenge. No plans. Only her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her small, soft smile was the only thing in the world. Everything else stopped. The room became quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time stopped. Only her face remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see,\" the man said again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"she is already booked. Someone powerful wants her. He is waiting for her to grow up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words sounded far away. Julius did not hear them. His world was only the little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young master... are you okay?\" Alfred asked from the side. His voice sounded worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius did not answer. He did not even look. Tears fell from his eyes. He did not notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand lifted. It shook a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I... know you?\" he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl stopped playing with her doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up at him. She gave the softest, brightest smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course,\" she said in a gentle voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are my father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius’s voice broke. \"Fa... ther...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could not say more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man laughed loudly. \"Don’t believe her. She says that to every man who looks at her too long. Pathetic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder the client already paid so much. He likes them young... and easy to break. Just like you probably broke someone before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood started to drip from Julius’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like red tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air turned cold and heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was low. Very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of black killing intent exploded from him. It felt like dark fire. Everyone in the room felt it. It became hard to breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man stepped back. Cold sweat ran down his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha... okay, okay... I misspoke—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius took one step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s legs shook. He looked at Alfred. Alfred stood like stone. He did not move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man tried to reach into his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to call the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never got the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In one blink, Julius stood right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius lifted his foot. He placed it slowly on the man’s right leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhhhh\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man let out a guttural scream as Julius pressed down. The bone broke with a loud crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black smoke came out of Julius like living shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wrapped around the man. It burned his skin with cold pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh...\" the man groaned as he tried to step back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Julius’s hand shot forward. His fingers closed around the man’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lifted him off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His golden eyes turned red from blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They burned with murder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alfred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfred stepped forward and bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring me everyone who works here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every single person. Noble or not. Bring them alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man tried to fight. His nails scratched Julius’s arm. It did nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut off their arms and legs,\" Julius said quietly. \"Bring what is left to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord.\" Alfred bowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he disappeared like a shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>",973,"2026-06-10T05:56:21.839Z",1,"novelbin.me","1a5d8ed3703343d90a48c31a9270d0a9c66f50d2e6a01553a64798c1cd4d9fd7","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-216","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-215",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
