Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Feeling Ivyst's gaze, Lynn lowered his head.

The passive effect of the Lie Swallowing told him that what this woman was saying now was the truth.

Yet a cold sneer kept echoing in his heart.

Fulfill any wish?

If he were to say he wanted to touch her cast die, would she really agree?

Even if she agreed on the surface, it was likely to be just playing word games like last time.

A woman's words could be heard, but at most, only half could be believed.

Lynn guessed that Ivyst's question was merely to test his sincerity at this moment, to see if he still had thoughts of running away.

Unfortunately, he saw through it at a glance.

Thinking so, Lynn kept shaking his head, "Having the honor to listen to Your Highness's teachings is already incredibly fulfilling for me. I have no other desire but to stay by your side just as I am now."

Unfortunately, he had overlooked one thing.

This was not a simple fantasy novel but a real world.

Many things had never occurred in the original work and would not develop step by step as expected.

Like, for example, the ring that Ivyst wore on her hand.

He couldn't have anticipated that this woman would pull such a stunt.

After hearing Lynn's flattery, Ivyst should have been quite pleased, as she had been before.

But glancing at the flickering red light on the ring at her fingertip, she narrowed her eyes.

This guy was lying again.

However, Ivyst did not fly into a rage but indifferently said, "You better think it through carefully. I rarely make such promises to anyone."

It was also a stereotype held by Lynn.

Ivyst offered him this sweet jujube because she wanted to win him over.

So at this moment, her offer to fulfill one of Lynn's wishes was not false.

Of course, in a certain sense, there were still conditions.

This wish could be for money, a Sealed Object, power and status, or even someone's life.

In short, it had to be in line with Ivyst's preferences.

If he truly voiced a wish to grab a bucket and run away or to find a beautiful girl to attend to him, he would inevitably face a beating.

Unfortunately, Lynn had not grasped this layer of implication.

"I have no wish... or rather, your wish is my wish."

He would not be fooled again.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lynn thought to himself in silence.

His expression was so resolute it was as if he had once lost something.

Feeling the searing heat from the ring, Ivyst had to suppress a laugh out of anger.

Strangely, when this guy always wanted to run away before, she used various methods to stop him, to keep him by her side.

For that, she had used quite a few tricks and told quite a few lies.

But this time when Ivyst genuinely wanted to fulfill a wish for him, he instead began to play coy.

Why couldn't he make things easy?

Why couldn't he just make a wish obediently, as she desired?

At this very moment, a streak of rebellious mood was stirred within Ivyst.

The more Lynn seemed to want her promise, the more she wanted to see the despair on his face when his hope shattered.

But when Lynn declined her kindness with lies, Ivyst instead wanted to force him to submit.

At the end of the day, she was such a nasty woman.

Sensing Ivyst's silence, Lynn seemed to realize something.

He had just raised his head when he saw Ivyst's expression had become cold.

"Lying doggies aren't nice," her voice was chillingly cold, "And naughty doggies need to be punished."

Damn!

Lynn almost instinctively used the Lie Swallowing, conditioned by reflex.

And sure enough.

The next second, without any warning, Ivyst swiftly raised her hand, showing Lynn the shining Eye of the Soul imprint in her palm.

For a moment, his consciousness seemed to detach from his body, and he became sluggish and dazed.

Aren't you going for a pre-swing before attacking?

Fortunately, my buddy was well prepared.

Seeing that his true self had entered a false state of hypnosis in time, Lynn let out a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, watching Lynn suddenly become vacant-eyed and dispirited, Ivyst held no suspicion.

She stepped forward and leaned her voluptuous posterior against the edge of the desk, pressing out an enticing curve.

Then Ivyst, with a light movement, lifted her right leg encased in black stockings and gently rubbed Lynn's chin with the tip of her boot, as if teasing her own pet dog.

She did not immediately ask Lynn about his true desires.

At that moment, while the effect of the ring was still present, Ivyst pursed her glossy red lips.

"Who is more beautiful, Hillena or I?"

Experience tales at empire

"Of course, it's you."

The ring showed no reaction, and Ivyst's lips slightly curled up.

"If Hillena and I fell into the water at the same time, whom would you save?"

"I would save you and by the way, throw a stone at her head."

"Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"

"Ivyst Laurent Alexini."

"Tell me what you think of my outfit today."

"I don't like it."

"Hmm?"

"This dress perfectly accentuates your beauty, Your Highness. However, it is precisely because of this that I do not wish for others, aside from myself, to behold your beauty."

Hearing this, Ivyst could no longer restrain a smile on her lips, her expression becoming radiant.

This guy is not only smart and capable, but also has a way with words.

Most importantly, all these words are true; the ring showed no reaction.

The slight dissatisfaction Ivyst had felt a moment ago dissipated like smoke.

When someone is under hypnosis, they speak what's in their heart—what was she suspecting?

She silently thought to herself.

However, on the other side, Lynn was already sweating profusely.

At this instant, he finally realized something was off with Ivyst.

This woman seemed to be able to discern his lies!

Recalling how she had glanced repeatedly at her ring earlier, Lynn didn't need to guess what had happened.

Fortunately, the previous questions had not strayed from the realm of truth.

After all, Lynn had never seen Hillena and only knew her from novels, aware only that she was described as the Empire's most beautiful woman in the original work.

Nor could he recall Hillena's appearance from his predecessor's memory.

And indeed, Ivyst was the most beautiful woman he had encountered so far; thus his answer was not a lie.

As for his opinion on her attire, it was genuine as well.

Even though Lynn had always wanted to keep his distance from Ivyst, it was natural for a man to desire possessiveness over a beautiful woman.

And being in the prime of youth, this body was no exception.

But these weren't the things that truly made Lynn nervous.

The crux of the problem was, he didn't know if the Lie Swallowing could negate the truth-revealing effect of the ring.

Even if it could, Lynn dared not bet on it.

That meant he was, at this moment, in the awkward position of being able only to tell the truth.

This was worse than being hypnotized!

Lynn roared internally.

If at this moment Ivyst whimsically asked if he was truly under hypnosis, then it would be all over.

Calm down, calm down.

Lynn tried to soothe himself and think of a strategy.

After all, after so many tests, Ivyst should have been utterly convinced that he was under hypnosis.

So then, why would she suddenly ask a question that expressed doubt about him?

Rather, this seemed like an opportunity.

Remembering the previous concept, Lynn's heart rate quickened slightly.

It was right then that Ivyst asked her next question.

"Tell me, what is the real desire you want to conceal?" She gazed at Lynn's sluggish expression, "excluding the desire to escape from my side."
