Chapter 8

Author: Echo
The moment Tristan and Lily walked through the door, they immediately started looking around.

"Aurelia! Where's Sera? Is she okay?"

Lily sprinted into the bedroom, only to run back out moments later, crying hysterically. "Daddy! Sera is gone! Her cage is gone! Mommy must have hidden her!"

Watching the panicked father and daughter, I sat at the end of the long dining table, slowly wiping my hands. I gestured toward the lavish dinner spread out before me.

"There's no need to panic. You both must

  • I Fed My Husband His Rabbit Mistress   Chapter 9

    Shackled heavily at the wrists and ankles, Tristan was dragged out of the manor like a rabid mutt.Beside me, the imposter Lily was still screaming for "Daddy" and "Mama Sera," but I just watched with ice in my veins. "You venomous bitch!"A lavishly dressed woman shoved frantically through the guards—it was Tristan's mother, the low-born woman he had brought to the capital to drown in luxury.She lunged at me with a raised hand, her voice shrill. "You ruined my son's future! Give me back my son!"I didn't even look at her. With a flick of my finger, a burst of Elven magic sent her flying backward."He ended up like this because of his own greed and cruelty," I said coldly, looking down at her. "He deserves everything he gets." The scandal quickly spread across the continent.Tristan’s crimes of murdering Paladins for power through dark magic were made public. Once a revered Holy Knight, he became a despised rat, his reputation in ruins.He was tossed into a pitch-red, sunless dungeo

    The moment Tristan and Lily walked through the door, they immediately started looking around."Aurelia! Where's Sera? Is she okay?"Lily sprinted into the bedroom, only to run back out moments later, crying hysterically. "Daddy! Sera is gone! Her cage is gone! Mommy must have hidden her!" Watching the panicked father and daughter, I sat at the end of the long dining table, slowly wiping my hands. I gestured toward the lavish dinner spread out before me."There's no need to panic. You both must be exhausted from your journey." I gestured to the two steaming porcelain bowls at their places, my tone silken. "Have some broth to warm up first. Once you've finished, I'll tell you exactly where she is." Tristan frowned, clearly irritated by my attitude. But he was thirsty from the journey and desperate to know where the rabbit was, so he strode over, picked up the bowl, and downed it in one gulp.Eager to see her "Sera," Lily followed suit, drinking her bowl clean. The moment the liquid hi

    I grabbed the heavy iron lid and slammed it shut over the boiling cauldron, sealing it tight.My final glimpse was of the rabbit sinking beneath the bubbling venom, her pitch-red eyes fixed on me, swimming in unadulterated hatred and terror.I patted the side of the iron pot."Don't fret. Tristan will join you in hell soon enough. You can rot together." During the week Tristan was "on patrol," he acted the part of the devoted husband flawlessly, calling me on the comm-crystal at the same time every night.But his words were entirely focused on the rabbit."Darling, is Sera behaving? Has she been eating well?" Tristan’s voice was laced with frantic anticipation. Leaning back on my plush sofa, I put on a weak, breathy voice, sounding like I was on the verge of death."Tristan... I feel awful." I coughed weakly into the crystal. "Every night, something freezing wraps around me... It chokes me, draining my strength drop by drop. I can barely breathe, Tristan. I think... I'm dying." I pe

    On the other end of the crystal, Tristan caught the faint sound."Aurelia? What was that noise?"I replied with effortless calm, "Nothing. Just the apothecary's apprentice crushing some herbs."Tristan didn't suspect a thing. "I see. Hurry home once you have your medicine."He even had the gall to add considerately, "Oh, by the way, so you can rest peacefully, I had the butler escort Lily to her grandmother's estate for the week. Take care of yourself while you're home alone." Home alone.The subtext was clear: he was making sure the white rabbit could bleed me dry day and night without anyone ever finding out.How thoughtful. "I understand. Good luck with your mission."I sneered and severed the connection. The crystal went dark.I looked down at the rabbit. Her pitch-red, beady eyes were now swimming in pure, unadulterated despair.Her final hope had been snuffed out by the man she loved most. Without hesitation, I dropped the rabbit into the boiling cauldron.The bubbling, sickly

    Holding the half-dead rabbit, I pushed open the Witch's heavy wooden door, which was carved with eerie runes.The hut was dim. In the center sat a massive iron cauldron bubbling with a sickly-green, viscous liquid that smelled of sweet, rotting blood. "Ah! Noble Elf, what treasures have you brought me today?" the Witch croaked, shuffling closer.When her cloudy eyes locked onto the rare snow-white rabbit in my hand, they ignited with overwhelming greed."Magnificent! Absolutely exquisite! This is the ultimate catalyst for my brew!" Sensing her impending doom, the rabbit in my hand let out a weak but unmistakable woman’s cry. "Save... me..."The Witch paused for a second, then cackled even louder."She's already developed human consciousness! Even better for the brew!"She ripped the lid off the boiling cauldron. "Noble lady, your timing is impeccable. I'm brewing an ancient poison called the Soul-Scorching Draught. All I needed was a highly magical white rabbit as the catalyst!" "On

    Tristan's face, already contorted with grief, drained of all color the second those words left Lily's mouth.He immediately clamped a hand over her lips."Stop talking nonsense!" he snapped at the girl in his arms. He turned back to me, cold sweat beading on his forehead, forcing a stiff, ugly smile. "Aurelia, don't listen to her. She... she reads too many fairy tales. She's just babbling." Looking at the two of them, I felt nothing but disgust and amusement.Even now, they still thought I was the same gullible fool from my past life. But I knew it wasn't time to tear off the masks just yet. I had to keep playing the game. I massaged my temples, playing the part of the utterly exhausted wife, and let out a long, defeated sigh."Forget it. I don't want to fight anymore. I'm tired." I pointed at the twitching rabbit. "Take your lucky familiar and get out. I don't want to look at her for the rest of the night."Tristan didn't dare argue. He carefully scooped up the rabbit, grabbed Lily,
