The Most Satisfied Reincarnate

Chapter 55 - Bad Liar



Only Desmond looked very calm and relaxed, but actually, his body was really sore. How could he not? 

One woman sat beside him while compressing his body\'s wounds while the other woman treated him closely. This made Desmond able to clearly smell the fragrance of their bodies and hair. 

* thump *

Suddenly Elizabeth, who had been unable to stand up, finally collapsed. She sat on the floor looking at Desmond\'s wounds while Laura fell on the bed, exhausted.

"Haah ... haaah, finally over, how are you, Master Desmond?"

"I feel better, but what about you, Miss Elizabeth? You look very pale."

Desmond had always hated the name debt of gratitude; therefore, Desmond wanted to repay Elizabeth\'s kindness directly.

He sent a magic message to Laura to take out 100 gold coins and give them to Elizabeth.

Laura, who suddenly received orders through her mind, was shocked; even though she was tired, she didn\'t want to disappoint her master anymore. Laura then stood up and immediately gave Elizabeth the money.

Although it may seem funny that a wealthy person like Elizabeth is given money, Desmond still gave her money. 

Elizabeth was confused. "Just accept it, Miss Elizabeth; I don\'t want to owe you a debt." Desmond\'s gaze had returned to cold, which initially seemed always smiling and friendly to her. 

When Elizabeth saw this, she recalled the fear she felt in the arena. She obeyed Desmond\'s words and took the money, and stood up. 

"So then, see you later, Master Desmond." She then saluted and walked out of the room.

Desmond, who saw this, became confused by her words.

Shouldn\'t he be the grateful one? Why did Elizabeth, who was tired and held him back from leaving before, now leave in a hurry?

Their conversation was witnessed by Laura, who observed her master\'s expression, shaking her head; she was just waiting for her master\'s orders.

How could the young master not be aware that his gaze was terrifying everyone?

After Elizabeth left, Desmond told Laura to help him stand; he wanted to go ahead and buy clothes, but the door to the room opened again.

* bang *

Elizabeth, who had already left, looked back hastily. Her gaze swept across the room, and it turned out that Desmond was still in the room. 

Her expression was relaxed; catching her breath, Elizabeth then looked at Desmond.

"Hello, Master Desmond, please forgive me for bothering you again."

Desmond, who stood assisted by Laura, paused for a moment and nodded.

  "That\'s okay, Miss Elizabeth. So what is the important thing you want to ask? " 

Hearing Desmond getting to the point, Elizabeth nodded, acknowledging her intelligence in analyzing the current situation. 

" Previously, I didn\'t know why Master Desmond was injured. After all, if you look at your injuries, maybe it was attacked by a wild beast? "

Ahh ... I think there is something important.

This almost gave me a heart attack; for the first time, I thought Edward already knew something about the Demon\'s death.

Fortunately…

Considering his relationship with Elizabeth, as well as Elizabeth\'s position in society, Desmond fell silent.

This silence made Elizabeth and Laura nervous and worried that this would make Desmond angry. Even if Desmond was angry, Elizabeth thought she could still fight him with his father\'s position and title. Unlike Laura, maybe she could be fired.

After careful thought, Desmond found a perfect alibi, both not to expose his identity as a spy and also he felt this excuse \'made a little sense\' to the rich.

"Ehm... so actually, two days ago, I bought a Husk Wolf. And, oh wait... does Miss Elizabeth know what a Husk Wolf is?"

Not only Elizabeth but also Laura shook her head. This made Desmond roll his eyes while Laura wassilent and stared at the floor.

When Elizabeth saw this, her suspicions began to arise, "Laura, is that true?" she asked.

Laura wanted to answer right away, she lifted her head and wanted to speak, but her voice didn\'t come out. She received a message from Desmond and then obliged. 

"That… I don\'t know since I just worked at the young master\'s house."

Elizabeth\'s suspicion increased when she saw Laura\'s behavior; she then tried to ask again, but Desmond called her.

"Miss Elizabeth, Laura did just work at my house, and I bought a Husk Wolf from the auction before she was accepted."

Elizabeth stopped her intentions and then stared at Desmond\'s expression while thinking of all possibilities.

"This incident started a few days after I bought a Husk Wolf. Usually, it is not me who feeds the animals but my guards. And it just so happened that I was passing by and saw the way the guards were feeding.

Therefore, I wanted to try it and ask the guards to let me feed the wolf. After that, you can imagine how the Husk Wolf decided and bit some parts of my body." 

Desmond said this with an expression as sad as possible; his lie even touched Laura.

These are some of the truths and lies that Desmond put together to make it look like it really happened.

The goal is to make listeners feel sorry for him and angry with the guards who let a child feed a Beast from the Beast Race.

But this trick didn\'t work on Elizabeth, who seemed to find something out of the ordinary. She stared at Desmond, only to see Desmond staring back at her with a smile that could knock any girl down.

Even though Desmond\'s nature was icy, that didn\'t change the fact that his training all this time and with his parents making Desmond\'s face no less handsome than Matson, plus the ideal body shape for all men. 

If it weren\'t for his cold nature and Alice\'s, maybe Desmond would have been approached a lot more by a woman his age now.

Desmond saw Elizabeth suddenly look away; he made a confused expression; at least he had prepared another reason if Elizabeth asked again. 

"What\'s wrong, Miss Elizabeth? Are you still doubting me?"

Desmond recalled something that had been glorifying his mind. 

"Oh yes, Miss Elizabeth, by the way, are you shopping for clothes? If I\'m not mistaken, it\'s a dress, right?"

Hearing Desmond\'s question, her face looked so red until she had to cover her face with both hands while looking at Desmond through her fingers.

  "No, just now ... I just wanted to have a look." 

Seeing Elizabeth like this, Desmond\'s smile widened even more.

"Um ... what\'s wrong with you, Miss Elizabeth? Do you have a fever? I see your face is quite red."

Even though Desmond knew that Elizabeth was currently being embarrassed, he just wanted to change the subject to forget about his injury. 

On the other hand, when Elizabeth heard Desmond talk about her reddish face, she couldn\'t take it anymore and immediately left Desmond\'s room.
