Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 114: Chapter114-Leslie, What Do You Really Want?



Owen followed Charlotte to the familiar courtyard of the Duke's mansion...

At this moment, Leslie had changed into a black long dress, which added depth to her cold elegance.

Leslie was leaning on a stone table with both hands, bending over to study a map on the table, as if she was trying to figure something out.

When Owen approached, he saw that it was a map of the Azure Kingdom, showing all the cities large and small in the capital.

For some reason, seeing this scene made Owen feel uneasy.

He had a vague sense that something was about to happen.

Nonetheless, Owen walked to face Leslie directly and asked bluntly, "How do you want to renegotiate our cooperation?"

Hearing this, Leslie slowly raised her head and looked at Owen, remaining silent for a moment...

Instead of answering Owen's question, she said to herself, "The first time we met was in this courtyard, wasn't it?"

Owen frowned at her words. "So what?"

Leslie shook her head as if reminiscing. "I remember, back then, you were really bold!"

"Do you know, at that time, I really wanted to kill you."

Owen nodded... How could he not know!

Back then, according to the system's prompt, Leslie's favorability towards him had dropped to just 5, and she had placed her hand on her heart.

With his power at that time, he couldn't possibly have opposed Leslie!

If he hadn't been honest and offered Leslie a tempting deal, she might have killed him with a single blow!

"But in the end, you didn't strike," Owen remarked with a sigh.

"Indeed! I didn't," Leslie smiled. "Back then, you said you'd deal with the Council of Elders within a year. I didn't take it seriously at first."

"After all, according to my calculations, it would take at least three years!"

"I spared your life to see what kind of tricks you planned to pull."

Owen shrugged and smiled, "Then, we broke into the Kingdom Vault together."

Leslie's lips curled into a slight smile as she replied, "We killed the Azure Kingdom's prince and princess!"

Owen continued, "You took the Azure Kingdom's treasure map, and I took the handle of the Godslayer Staff!"

Leslie chuckled, "That was our first cooperation, truly perfect!"

"To be honest, it was after that incident that I decided to work seriously with you."

"And sure enough, with our cooperation, we overthrew the Azure Kingdom's royal power within a year."

Hearing this, Owen's smile faded a bit, and he said gravely, "There are some things I haven't told you."

Leslie, hearing this, laughed it off and said nonchalantly,

"Coincidentally, there are some things I haven't told you either."

Owen paused for a moment and then said, "The master-tier strongman from the Council of Elders, William, isn't dead. He might come to the capital at any time for revenge."

Hearing this, Leslie looked intently into Owen's eyes and said with her red lips slightly parted, "I know!"

"Charlotte just brought me news."

"Someone said that after the explosion at the Council of Elders, they saw William rushing back from the East Sea."

Owen nodded. Since Leslie knew everything, there was no need for him to say more.

"What haven't you told me?"

Leslie was silent for a moment before speaking, "The Fallen Angel clan has nine Fallen Angels currently heading toward the capital."

"They will arrive by tomorrow at the latest!"

Hearing this, Owen smiled and said, "I know... Edward just told me."

Mm!

Leslie responded softly and then fell silent, but Owen saw the struggle in her eyes.

Owen understood...

She wanted him to leave the capital!

After all, the explosion at the Council of Elders and the arrival of the nine Fallen Angels were

both related to him!

If he left the capital...

The capital could be spared.

Heh!

Owen let out a bitter laugh.

Were he and she destined to reach this point after all?

But so be it...

Or perhaps it's for the best...

At least the two of them remained in a purely cooperative relationship.

Just then...

Leslie's beautiful eyes flashed with a glimmer as she slowly spoke, "Let's not talk about that

for now."

"Since we both fought for the Azure Kingdom, let the two of us divide it!"

What!!

Hearing this, Owen thought he misheard.

Was Leslie talking about dividing the territory of the Azure Kingdom with him?

At that moment, a wave of anger surged in his heart...

Was she trying to compensate him?

With a grim expression, Owen sat across from her and asked in a cold voice, "Fine! How do

you want to divide it?"

Leslie seemed unaware of Owen's emotional turmoil. She thought seriously for a moment,

then pushed the map in front of Owen.

"Choose whatever you want!"

Hearing this, Owen suddenly felt a bit suffocated.

He wondered if this woman's heart was really made of ice.

He glanced at the map casually and asked coldly, "You mean to give it all to me?"

Without a second thought, Leslie nodded seriously and said, "If you want it, I'll give it all to

you!"

Fine!

At this moment, Owen didn't hesitate and said directly, "The Eight Cities of the Central

State!"

Without thinking, Leslie replied, "They're yours!"

Owen's eyelid twitched...

The Eight Cities of the Central State are the heart of the Azure Kingdom, the absolute core

aside from the capital...

And she's willing to give them to him?

Owen took a deep breath and continued, "Aetheria?"

"Yours!"

"Drakenshire?"

"Yours!"

"Eldoria?"

"Also yours!"

"Luminastra, Nighthaven, Thundertide?"

"All yours!"

Upon hearing this, Owen staggered...

All mine?

Is this a joke?

The cities I mentioned are the most important in the capital, and she didn't even bat an eye

before giving them all to me?

Heh!

Owen was both amused and exasperated by Leslie...

With a half-smile, he asked, "All to me?"

"Then Leslie, tell me, what do you want?"

As the words fell, the atmosphere became tense...

Seeing Leslie remain silent, Owen shook his head, unwilling to listen any further.

He turned and walked towards the room, intending to take all his belongings and leave the

capital...

Just as he took two steps, a cool voice called out...

"Wait!"

Owen frowned and turned around...

At that moment, he saw Leslie looking up, the reddish sunset casting its light on her

strikingly beautiful face.

She reached up to tuck her hair behind her ear, and her starry, radiant eyes gazed at him

seriously...

Her lips slowly curved into a slight smile...

And she softly said, "I want you!"
