Chapter 135 Planting Seeds Of Suspicions.

Beatrix, who was too pre-occupied earlier, failed to notice before but when Elandor was standing in front of her, her memory recalled,

'Wait, isn't this the boy that come to my home the other day?'

'I remember he said that... like me who likes Louis, he too liked Radhika, and wanted to form a team with me so we both can get what we want.'

'So he studies in this university? No wonder he said we will meet again. He must be somehow knowing that we will enroll here.'

"Didn't expect you to be here?"

"Last time you were very confident, did you already make Radhika yours?"

Anticipation was hidden in Beatrix's eyes, as long as the boy in front of him captured Louis's nominal fiancé's heart, her worries will be automatically half over.

"How can it be too fast?"

"Instead, have you even hugged or kissed Louis?"

-I replied back with an equal emotion.bender

Hearing those words, her face became a little grumpy.

It was not like she didn't try! Everyday she had been spending time with Louis talking about so many things, she brought him tiffins, did all sorts of jobs for him like she was some licking dog. At this point, Beatrix even doubted her own charm! She doubted with so many hints she had been giving him, Why is he not responding to her feelings?

If Elandor could hear her thoughts he would have screamed- that's your usual isekai- beta-dense mc profile, creating an ambiguous atmosphere with different women but not committing to anyone. Thinking that all the girls are his harem members already even without sleeping with them, he will focus on increasing his power and will even ignore them. In his mind, when his adventure ends, he's gonna marry all the girls hovering around him anyway.

Seeing the dejection on her face, I felt my guesses were on point.

Parting my lips, I broke the silence,

"Actually do you remember what was the second part I told you when I met you at your home?"

Beatrix thought for a second,

"Yeah you said that he has a friend named Shouta who used to take him to bars to sleep with girls."

-When Beatrix completed the sentence, she herself was surprised.. How can she doubt Louis's character so easily but reality was in front of her…just moments ago, Shouta had already taken her Louis away and even said that he would take him to a local bar in an hour.

She remembered so vividly- that Shouta even gave her a provocative gaze like he was going to steal Louis from her.

In the quiet hall, gnashing of her teeth can be heard as her fists clenched.

Her reaction was within my expectations.

"Actually, I think I was mistaken and may have given you some wrong information!"

Seeing my wry smile, Beatrix got a little puzzled.

Her curious eyes were attentively locked at my lips, eager to hear my explanation.

"When I said that Shouta had been taking Louis to bars to sleep with girls, I perhaps may be wrong."

"You must have noticed that when you entered this lecture hall, Shouta was intimately holding two boys. I think he was gay long ago."

Even I could feel the way Shouta looked at Louis, it was entirely led by his newfound female instincts and complete lust.

So I decided to go with this new plan of mine in one go.

"I can already feel your sincerity towards Louis, trust me if I was the one in place of him, I would have already made your body mine."

Hearing my bold words Beatrix was taken aback,

"Presumptuous!"

"Calm down I was only saying a what if scenario."

"What I mean is… I strongly believe that like Shouta, Louis is also gay that's why he is indifferent in spite of your initiative."

Looking at her unbelievable eyes, I dropped another bomb,

"Moreover, it all happened in your presence. Didn't you see that when Shouta kissed Louis, there was no resistance or any protest. To me, standing from afar, It seemed like Louis was even expecting it."

Beatrix bit her teeth.

She wanted to refute me but she couldn't find any relevant words.

'Yeah, now that he said, Louis indeed had a strange smile when Shouta kissed on his cheeks. Unlike me, there was not even a slightest of disgust in his voice when he talked to Shouta.

She couldn't help but feel a little crisis.

Even if she had a strong trust in Louis, Elandor's tactful words managed to plant seeds of suspicions in her heart.

'No, No..'

'Louis had long promised that he would marry me and he will live happily with me later on. How can he be gay?'

'I…I"

"My Louis can neve like that bastard Shouta!"

-Beatrix took a step back warily. Her tone with which those words were said was hysterical, she herself had no confidence in what she said.

Looking at her behaving like this, I chuckled.

I got further confident about the feasibility of my strategy.

"It's okay!"

"What I am saying is all based on my guesses!"

"I may be wrong, think clearly what I want in Radhika, Why will I come in between you and Louis?"

I raised my hands in surrendance.

"Yeah this all must be your mere suspicion."

-Like a lie she was telling herself to fool her mind, she kept repeating the same words again and again.

She didn't have the slightest of awareness that her emotions were starting to be led by Elandor.

The first step in manipulating someone is to win their trust and tell them about some common interests to increase your familiarity.

Then you gotta lead their thinking-process in a way you can predict how they will behave and react.

No matter what tactics are followed, whether the process involves telling truths, lies, blackmails, tortures or even straight away threatening them…as long as you can achieve the first step only then you can successfully manipulate and influence the other party's personality according to what you want.
