Chapter 355

The wait for the day of the wedding was an extreme torment for Gwendolyn.

She spent the last two days in a daze.

The night before the wedding, Charles had someone deliver the wedding dress to her place.

She found it ironic as she stroked the expensive wedding dress in front of her.

Although this would be her first wedding ceremony, it was actually her second time wearing a wedding
dress.

She had thought she wouldn’t have any chance to put it on again. Little did she expect that she would
wear it and get married to someone whom she didn’t love.

Charles stood at the door of her room and stared at her in silence. “Gwen, do you like it? The most
famous designer in Erihal used a week to design it. This is the only piece in the world.”

Gwendolyn withdrew her hand and sat on the edge of the bed with an indifferent expression on her
face. “What’s the matter?”

“I kept my word. I’ve been looking after Nico these days. He’s almost recovered now. You don’t have to
worry about him.”

Gwendolyn let out a sigh of relief and said nothing more.

“I’ll release Nico from jail once we have officially held our wedding ceremony. When we enjoy our
pleasant moment at night, I’ll get someone to give him the antidote and send him back to Chanaea.”

“Okay.” Expressionlessly, she covered herself with the blanket. “You can go back to Alzer Palace. I’m
sleepy now. I want to call it a night.”



“All right. I won’t disturb your rest, then. Goodnight, Gwen.”

Gwendolyn ignored him. Charles closed her bedroom door and left.

As soon as he left, Gwendolyn sat up at once. She fixed her eyes on the small plane Asher had given
her on the dressing table.

If Charles really wanted to sleep with her in the same bed after Nico received the antidote tomorrow,
she would perish with him.

Everything will be over soon!

At the same time, someone entered the dungeon with a decree of pardon.

Nico was half-asleep when he heard the sound of the dungeon door opening.

A foreign-looking man dressed as a guard walked in.

Nico became clear-headed at once and immediately sat up. He narrowed his eyes vigilantly and asked,
“That b*stard can’t wait any longer and has sent you to kill me, huh?”

The guard handed him the decree of pardon. “You’ve been released. I’m here to bring you out.”

Nico looked at the decree carefully, feeling at a loss. “Why did Lord Gerhardt release me?”

“Come on. You’ll know the answer soon.” The guard uncuffed the heavy shackles on Nico’s legs.

With the help of the guard, Nico walked out of the dungeon with heavy steps.

In the past few days, Charles had indeed gotten a doctor to treat Nico’s wounds. However, the
medicine applied to him wasn’t effective. Not only was the pain excruciating, but it also caused his
wounds to bleed repeatedly.



He bore with it for six to seven days, but his wounds had only healed a little.

The guard walked ahead of Nico. When he noticed that Nico was far behind him due to his wounds, he
immediately went over to help him.

“Thanks,” Nico said politely.

The moment they passed by the neighboring cell, Nico stopped. “There’s a girl in this cell. May I
request Lord Gerhardt to allow her to leave with me?”

“Um…” The guard looked troubled.

Nico continued to explain in Epean, “I don’t think she has committed any crimes. She is involved in a
transnational human trafficking case. Erihal only allows women, who are at least twenty years old, to
work. She is still a month away from reaching the qualifying age. They probably didn’t want to cover her
living expenses for the month, so they sent her here.”

“Let me ask the duke. If it is as you said, you should be able to take her away.”

“Okay.”

The guard took out his phone and called Gerhardt. Nico waited at the side.

In just a few minutes, Gerhardt agreed.

When the cell door opened, the girl, huddled in the corner, trembled. She buried her head in her arms,
not daring to look up.

Nico went over and squatted down in front of her. He patted her arm gently and said, “It’s me.”

“Mister?” Hearing the familiar voice, the girl looked up in shock. “Why are you here?”



The moment she lifted her head, Nico met her clear eyes.

He couldn’t make out her looks since her face was dirty. Besides, she was extremely thin. It seemed
that she had been abused for a long time.

However, judging from how beautiful her eyes were, Nico felt that she would look good if he fattened
her up.

He stroked her head and said softly, “I’ve been released. I’m here to take you away.”

“Really?”

Nico nodded and held her hand. “Mm-hmm. Let’s go.”

The guard walked in the front, while Nico followed behind with the girl holding him.

The girl had been fixing her eyes on him from the moment she left her cell. It was making him
uncomfortable.

“Is there something on my face?”

The girl shook her head and said somewhat seriously but shyly, “Mister, you’re so handsome!”

Nico burst into a chuckle. Compared to Cedrick and Charles, he was still a far cry from being
considered handsome.

“That’s because you have yet to meet those who are more handsome than me.”

“No. Everyone has a different taste. To me, you’re the most handsome!”

Nico had never been complimented in such a way before. Although he felt embarrassed, he also found
it sweet.



“What’s your name? Who are your parents? When we get back to Chanaea, I’ll send you back to
them.” He diverted the topic.

“What’s your name?” the girl asked him back.

“I’m Nico.”

“Then I’m Nicole!”

Nico was at a loss for words.

How can she name herself so casually?

The girl was happy that she had gotten a new name.

“Nico, I’ve actually thought it through these few days. My dad should have been instructed by my
stepmother to sell me off for money. I don’t want to see him as my father anymore.”

“What are you going to do, then?”

She tightened her grip on Nico’s arm and looked at him expectantly with sparkling eyes. “I want to stay
with you. You don’t have to spend much on me, and I won’t be thriftless either. I can just have a bun for
every meal.”

Nico was speechless.

Since childhood, his life had revolved around training, missions, and Cedrick. He had no idea how to
take care of a girl at all.

“Remember the ghost story that I told you two days ago? I’m actually that insane killer in the story. If
you stay with me, you won’t get to live a good life. I eat people!” Nico threatened.



He had thought Nicole would be afraid. However, she looked at him with reverence instead. “Woah!
You must be good at fighting, Nico! You’re amazing!”

Nico didn’t say anything.

Looking at her thin, malnourished arm, Nicole put on a troubled expression. “I won’t be delicious since
I’m too thin. How about you fatten me up first before eating me?”

Eat you the way I want to?

Having seen too much of the public display of affection between Cedrick and Gwendolyn, Nico felt that
he was no longer as innocent as before.

Seeing that Nico wasn’t saying anything, Nicole remembered that he ended up in jail because of
stealing and thought he was poor.

“Nico, if you can’t afford to support me, I can earn money to support you. But I may not be able to make
much, so you have to be frugal.”

Nico was at a loss for words.

Is she going to cling to me for real?

Nico had never been so speechless in his entire life.
