Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!-Chapter 220 - 164 Tiya: Let go of me!
Chapter 220: Chapter 164 Tiya: Let go of me!
The youth’s body was coated in a layer of cold moonlight, his black hair gently fluttering in the breeze, his silhouette appearing solitary and desolate.
At this moment, with his arms spread wide as if to embrace the entire night sky, he stood quietly at the edge of the balcony railing.
One more step forward and he would plummet from the high place in an instant.
As a Second Rank Transcendent, he certainly had no reason to survive such a fall.
And Tiya had been following this guy from the start, so she was very certain that he had come here alone, without any knowledge of her presence.
He was not putting on a show for anyone.
Even if you took a step back,
even if this guy had noticed her, the current Tiya had gone through multiple layers of disguise, such that even her colleagues from the Church could not discern her identity without the aid of Extraordinary Items.
Even Xiya, her dearest brother, could not recognize her.
Let alone this person, who had spouted nonsense at her upon their first meeting?
So, he truly wanted to die.
But… why?
Suddenly, all of Tiya’s plans were thrown into disarray, and her mind went blank.
She belonged to the type whose brain would crash at the occurrence of an emergency situation; she was better suited to act according to plans rather than devising strategy on the fly.
However, her body’s subconscious reaction took the lead.
Before her brain could respond, Tiya involuntarily pushed open the glass door.
“You, what are you doing?”
She raised her voice slightly, trying to attract his attention.
The next second, realizing what she had just done, Tiya froze on the spot.
It was because of this damned guy that her brother Xiya had misunderstood her, and although she had sworn to kill him the next time they met,
standing by and watching him jump off here was the correct choice.
But now… what am I doing?
Tiya bit her lower lip lightly, looking up with an array of tumultuous emotions surfacing in her heart.
Yet time did not stand still at this moment.
While her mind was cluttered with thoughts, the black-haired youth standing at the edge of the balcony heard the noise and looked back slightly.
It seemed that upon seeing only an unremarkable short-haired girl behind him, his interest was lost instantly.
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
On one hand, Tiya hesitated, and on the other, the youth seemed ready to jump off the building at any moment.
I’m just afraid that after his death, I will lose the clue to the twelve years of memory that have eluded me.
Yes, it is just that and nothing more.
Tiya murmured to herself in her heart.
After an indeterminate amount of time, the other party finally spoke up and broke the odd silence.
“I… am a failure,”
The youth’s opening was somewhat unexpected, but upon closer consideration, it seemed to make sense.
“A failure who was wholeheartedly bent on revenge,” the youth did not pause for too long, continuing in a low voice, “but in the end, I lost the most precious thing without even knowing when it slipped away from me.”
“Given the situation, I no longer have a reason to keep living.”
“So please, don’t stop me.”
Revenge? Failure?
Tiya could understand the first statement.
Although she paid little attention to the happenings in the Imperial Capital over the years, ever since the incident at the Jump Transition Matrix, Tiya had secretly gathered intelligence on Lynn Bartleion.
She also had an understanding of his tragic background.
One couldn’t help but feel empathy—if it weren’t for that confrontation between them.

Despite Tiya’s usual doll-like demeanor, she wasn’t entirely devoid of emotion.
Compassion was one of the essential prerequisites to become the Holy Maiden.
Being able to become the perfect successor to the Silent Church, a once-in-a-century occurrence, naturally meant she was impeccable in every way.
Moreover, there was the incident that took place in the Council Hall that night.
The youth had faced the accusations and questioning of everyone in his pursuit of revenge, regarded as a villain upon whom thousands pointed fingers.
Yet he remained calm, as if it all meant nothing to him.
It was only when she herself stepped forward to question him that it triggered unprecedented psychological fluctuations in him.
In the end, he proved his innocence through the Sealed Object of the Military Department—revealing himself to be a youth deeply loyal to the Empire, and with a sincere heart.
Although Tiya always felt that it was just his facade.
But, faced with the situation unfolding before her eyes, regardless of her verbal skepticism, subconsciously, there was always some belief, wasn’t there?
So, after all, if it weren’t for what happened before at the Jump Transition Matrix, Tiya’s view of him wouldn’t have been too negative—although given her nature, she found all men repugnant anyway.
However, the second statement the youth made was somewhat perplexing to her.
What kind of precious thing had he lost that made him consider death?
Despite the heavy mood, Tiya’s mind was still tinged with confusion.
And at this very moment, she had also completely forgotten her initial purpose.
After all, the main subject of the situation was about to jump off a building, and there was no way for her to begin asking questions.
With that thought in mind, Tiya hesitated for a moment, then asked in a cold tone, “What precious thing are you referring to?”
“If you need to, you can seek help from Princess Hillena, the hostess of the banquet—since you’ve received her invitation, you must at least be considered friends.”
Tiya, surprisingly, spoke so much in one breath to a stranger she had barely met a few times.
