My Yandere Wives are Transcendents

Chapter 368: Who do you think she would believe?

The next thing Eli knew, he was standing inside a room that seemed to be under construction, the ambience unfamiliar to him with the scent of freshly cut wood and the distant echoes of hammering and drilling.

"Where am I?" Eli’s voice carried a calm yet questioning tone as he glanced around, taking in the unfinished walls and the scattered tools.

"I am sorry, my lord," Evelina responded respectfully, her eyes avoiding direct contact as she stood before him, her demeanour betraying an underlying tension.

"Ms. Evelina... Where exactly am I?" Eli’s tone remained composed, but there was a hint of urgency in his inquiry.

Evelina lowered her head, a sign of deference and adherence to her duty, yet she remained silent, her lips sealed by the weight of her loyalty to her queen and the orders she had been given.

Frowning slightly, Eli turned towards the door, intending to step outside for a clearer understanding of his current location. However, Evelina, standing in his path, obstructed his movement, her posture firm yet respectful.

"Evelina," Eli’s frown deepened as he addressed the woman blocking his path.

"I am sorry, Lord Eli, but my Queen’s orders are absolute," Evelina reiterated firmly, her resolve unyielding despite Eli’s persistence.

Eli’s gaze remained fixed on Evelina who was refusing to budge, his expression unreadable as he contemplated her words. With a sigh, he lowered his head slightly, his voice barely above a whisper as he spoke into her sharp ear,

"And I am her husband... I need to be there when she needs my help"

Evelina frowned deeply, her brows furrowing with scepticism and a hint of disdain as she challenged Eli’s reasoning,

"My Queen is far stronger than anyone in the world, so why does she need help from a mortal?" Her voice carried a tone of frustration, reflecting an underlying tension that had been building.

Eli, momentarily taken aback by Evelina’s response, also felt this familiar disdain tone but now was no the time for that so, he quickly sought to explain the urgency of the situation. "It’s because the person who was there was not normal... He not only summoned those Dimensional Eaters but also merely hearing his name made people turn into fiends.

Who knows what he might do next? I need to be there when my wife is fighting something," Eli’s voice conveyed a sense of urgency and genuine concern.

However, Evelina remained steadfast in her loyalty to the Queen, her expression unwavering despite Eli’s valid concerns. Her firm stance indicated that her allegiance was resolute, prioritizing the Queen’s orders above all else.

Feeling a surge of frustration at Evelina’s unyielding stance, Eli clicked his tongue in annoyance,

"HIKK!!"

A startled cry escaped Evelina as Eli’s hand gripped her hips, causing her to react with surprise and a glare of disapproval.

"It’s inappropriate to touch a woman without her consent," Evelina reprimanded sharply, her tone conveying her displeasure at the unexpected physical contact.

Eli, however, maintained a calm and composed demeanour, his smile taking on a playful yet determined quality, "And it’s equally inappropriate to pick a man without his consent," he retorted, subtly highlighting the double standard as he gently pulled Evelina closer, intending to emphasize the gravity and urgency of his request.

Evelina didn’t care; she knew he was trying to irritate and annoy her to make her relent, but she wouldn’t fall for such petty tricks. Her loyalty to the queen was unwavering, and she was determined to follow her orders, no matter the circumstances.

Seeing her lack of reaction, Eli’s frustration grew. He needed to be there, as it was his best chance to uncover the truth about everything, especially since Lilith was clearly hiding something. The urgency of the situation weighed heavily on his mind, pushing him to find a way to convince Evelina to let him go.

If he chose to fight Evelina on this, it would only delay matters further. Eli let out a frustrated sigh, feeling the weight of the sudden turn of events. He realized that reasoning with her might be the best approach, despite the challenges it presented.

"Heh..." Evelina couldn’t help but smirk, noticing Eli’s frustration. She was well aware of his attempts to persuade her, but she remained steadfast in her duty.

"Did you just smile?" Eli frowned, observing her expression closely, trying to gauge her thoughts.

"No," Evelina shook her head, maintaining a calm exterior despite the tension between them.

Despite their close proximity, where any other woman might have blushed at the physical contact, Evelina remained unaffected. Her professionalism and dedication to her role were evident in her demeanour.

"Let me tell you, I could help everyone who has turned into a fiend," Eli spoke with a serious tone, emphasizing the importance of his assistance in the current situation.

Evelina’s heart wavered at the mention of Eli’s ability to reverse the transformation of those turning into fiends. She knew the gravity of the situation and the impact it could have on innocent lives.

Seeing her hesitation, Eli felt a glimmer of hope. "So, let’s go... I won’t mention this to her. We’ll help the people and then return... This might help her reduce the burden" he proposed.

There was still a hint of hesitation in Evelina’s eyes.

"I promise you that I won’t tell her anything... Okay?" Eli’s words carried sincerity as he pleaded with Evelina, his earnestness evident in his tone. As he observed her hesitation slowly wearing off, Eli smirked inwardly.

However, just as Eli was about to bring their conversation to a close, Evelina’s demeanour shifted abruptly. A smirk played on her lips, her eyes glinting with amusement, as if she found Eli’s attempt at persuasion amusing.

"You are too young to deceive me.... Child," Evelina’s words were laced with mockery, implying that she had been playing him like a child.

Eli’s expression soured at her condescending remark and when he saw her looking at him like the pitiful child trying to deceive their mother.

"Okay, this woman needs to be taught..." Eli muttered to himself, his frustration mounting. In an impulsive move, he pulled Evelina into a tight embrace and,

"HMMFFF!!!"

He kissed her lips.

Evelina’s eyes widened in surprise, and she pushed Eli away forcefully, her expression a mix of shock and indignation.

"W-What the hell are you doing?!!!" Evelina’s voice shook with anger, her face flushed with both rage and embarrassment.

Eli simply licked his lips with a cunning smile, his gaze playful yet mischievous, "Tsk, tsk, I never thought Adriana’s loyal maid was having an affair with her husband," he remarked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

"W-What?!!" Evelina’s expression twisted with disbelief and humiliation as she struggled to find words to refute his accusation, "What are you talking about, you pervert!! You are the one who kissed me!!!" she exclaimed, her voice quivering with indignation.

"Me?.." Eli feigned innocence, pointing to himself with a falsely innocent expression plastered on his face.

Veins bulged on Evelina’s forehead as she fought to control her temper, glaring daggers at Eli for his audacious behaviour.

"Oh, Come on, Lina. You are the one who forced yourself on me when we were all alone in an unknown place. You are trying to take advantage by using your Majesty’s name and attempting to defile her husband...

What an unfaithful maid?" Eli said with disdain as he covered his body as if trying to shield himself from her lecherous gaze.

"You bastard!! What the hell are you--" Evelina’s anger flared, but before she could unleash her full fury, Eli interrupted with a cunning smile playing on his lips,

"Who do you think she would believe?"

"H-Huh?" Evelina was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected question.

"Her Husband or Her Loyal Maid?" Eli pressed on, his arms still wrapped around her waist, his breath warm against her ear as he leaned closer,

"Do you think she would believe a Maid or her wonderful, handsome Husband?"

"...." Evelina clenched her fists, torn between her desire to punch Eli’s narcissistic face and the realization that her Majesty, The Vampire Queen, was deeply head over heels with this human. No matter what she might say, the Vampire Queen would only believe in her husband.

And this bastard used this chance perfectly!!

Observing Evelina’s internal turmoil, Eli maintained his smile, though he felt a pang of guilt for manipulating her emotions. But in the grand scheme of things, it seemed inconsequential. After all, Evelina wasn’t married or--

Seeing her world crumbling down, Eli smiled though he felt wrong doing this but who cares it’s not like Evelina was married or--

"Wait, Are you married?" Eli’s question interrupted Evelina’s thoughts, causing her to glare at him with even more disdain.

"Yes, and I have a child," Evelina replied curtly, her contempt evident in her gaze as she looked at Eli.

"...." Eli’s expression faltered for a moment, a sudden realization dawning on him, ’OH, Shit!! I am sorry whoever are you husband!’ Inwardly, he cursed himself for his insensitivity. Nevertheless, his hands remained firmly around her waist.

"Shall we then?" Eli asked with a knowing smile, attempting to regain his composure despite his internal embarrassment.

"Tsk," Evelina clicked her tongue in annoyance, her patience wearing thin. "Let me make this clear: if you ever deceive my Queen, I will personally end you, regardless of the consequences," she warned sternly.

"Hehe.." Eli chuckled nervously, feeling the weight of her threat. Yet, his embrace around her waist remained firm, unwilling to let her go.

"Tsk," Evelina clicked her tongue again, her irritation evident, as she snapped her fingers, teleporting them back to their original location.

... A place where silence prevailed.

"Oh, you came?" Theo’s voice cut through the quiet, his expression unreadable as he held Rock’s head in his hands.
