Traveling through time as a villain, I became her heart thief

Seconds earlier, he was seemingly killed by Hohenheim.

The knife fell and his consciousness disappeared.

But when he opened his eyes again, he found that he was in another place.

Where is this place?

Richard quickly looked around warily. This place looked like a small village.

At this time, Richard was in a house in this village.

Not far away, the first thing that catches the eye is the gray glass windows.

In front of the window sill, there is an old wooden table one meter wide, with traces of time left on the tabletop.Beside the table, a couple was standing in front of them, their faces red and their ears red.

The beautiful woman seemed to be arguing about something.

There was a gleam in Richard's eyes.

Two possibilities came to his mind.

The first is that he is teleported to another distant place instantly.

Despite the close call, he dodged Mr. Hohenheim's final blow.

But considering that his head is still on his neck, this possibility is unlikely.

No matter which country you are in, people who have their heads cut off cannot survive.

Therefore, the current scene can only be explained by the second possibility——

He is dead, and this is the world after death.

Richard looked at his surroundings and felt inexplicably sad.Unexpectedly, the final ending of his life would be so ironic.

However, according to Richard's cautious habits, he still needs to understand the surrounding environment first.

After all, no one knows what the outcome will be if you die again in the afterlife.

At this time, the sound of arguing in his ears became louder and louder, attracting Richard's attention——

"Four gold coins, it can't go any lower!"

The mute subwoofer made the whole room tremble.The woman slapped her hand on the table, her eyes bloodshot.

Richard couldn't help but frown and looked at the beautiful woman's body.

The woman is wearing plain clothes and a shawl, with purple gauze covering her snow-white arms. Although the fabric looks a bit cheap, the flaws cannot be concealed, and poverty cannot hide her beauty.

Standing opposite her was a 1.5-meter-tall Gothic lolita.

"No, four gold coins is not worth it. I'm only willing to give you three gold coins~"

Loli's voice was graceful and graceful, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised.A black gauze hat was placed on his head, and his long black hair fell down like a waterfall to his hips. His tone revealed calmness and calmness.

The hem of the Gothic lolita skirt flutters slightly, and the slender calves are white and pink, showing off the girl's youthful figure to the fullest.

"I would like to remind you that no one else will come here to take in your daughter except me~"

As she spoke, the girl stretched out her gentle fingers and yawned.

Seeing the face of the Gothic Lolita, Richard finally remembered.

He had been here ten years ago.

That day, Richard followed the Goth Loli to a small village in the Pure Love Empire for the final price negotiation.

The name of the "goods" being negotiated is Lianna, and the target of the negotiation is the girl's parents.

The content of the negotiation was to sell Liana to Richard and become his fiancée.

At this moment, it was the situation at the negotiation site that day.

The beautiful woman stood in front of the wooden table, clenching her teeth with anger on her face, and staring at the Gothic lolita across the table.

The two parties originally agreed to the transaction, but they disagreed on the final price.

What a ridiculous scene.Richard thought.

At this time, the Goth Loli smiled contemptuously, and then spoke:

"In the Kingdom of Pure Love, this kind of transaction is strictly prohibited. In our Empire of Joy, any human transaction must have my approval."

"In other words, I have the final say on the price of your precious daughter."

"Do you understand, you bastards?"

"The price of three gold coins is the greatest favor I have given you. As long as I am willing, I can kidnap your daughter without taking any money."

"Not only are you not grateful, but you want to bargain with me. Are you tired of living?"

When the beautiful young woman heard what Loli said, she was so angry that she trembled all over.If looks could kill, this narrow room was already soaked in blood.

However, reality always pales in comparison.

For this family, the consequences of rebelling against goth lolita were unacceptable.

"These gold coins are for her to take with her on the road. If the money is not enough..."

The beautiful woman's eyes were a little red. Although her eyes were still full of anger, she still tried her best to lower her tone and said these words with trembling lips.

Richard looked at all this, and his heart hurt.

He suddenly understood why he suddenly came back here.

——"With all the guilt for your evil deeds, go and apologize to the next person you meet."

Before Richard died, Mr. Hohenheim left these words.

But now, the angry looks in Liana's parents' eyes undoubtedly aroused the guilt deep in Richard's heart.

Richard realized that this was Hohenheim's final punishment for her.

If you could change the reality of the past, maybe you would feel better?

With this thought in mind, Richard took a deep breath and said to the Goth Loli in the distance:

"Otherwise, four gold coins are just four gold coins, right?"

He wanted to change the course of things.

However, this is of course impossible.

The reason why excess becomes a thing of the past is because it cannot be changed.

Like cast iron, it is imprinted in people's memories.

When Richard opened his mouth and tried to squeeze the words out of his throat, he found that he could only make a sound like a bellows.

Whoosh!

There was no way to say that sentence, and naturally it was impossible for others to hear it.

In the end, the couple gritted their teeth and accepted the price proposed by Goth Loli.

"make a deal."

A heavy metal sound sounded, and three gold coins were lined up on the table, reflecting the dazzling golden color.

The Gothic loli snapped her fingers gracefully and raised the corners of her lips slightly, feeling very satisfied with this transaction.

On the table, three solitary gold coins reflected the faint light.That was the price tag for the couple's baby daughter, which was discarded on the table.

Like garbage.

Before leaving, Goth Loli left a meaningful smile and slowly said:

"See you in ten years' time at No. 38 Dieter Street, Beloved City."

"Don't forget to agree, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences~"

Leaving behind a threatening word, the figure of the Goth Loli disappeared without a trace like smoke.

In the huge room, only Liana's parents were left in the same place, unable to recover for a long time.

Young Liana, unbeknownst to her, was sold to the Empire of Joy by her parents.

Destiny has already marked the price in secret.

This is what happened in the past.

As for Richard himself, he could only watch it all happen again, and nothing could be changed.

The guilt began to spread quickly, like ink dripping from a vat.

He can't do anything.

At this moment, he finally understood the weight of Mr. Hohenheim's last words.

Only repentance can overcome sin.

At this time, the beautiful young woman who had remained silent suddenly raised her head and stared at the empty place.

"Ten years from now, will you treat her sincerely?"

One by one, she spat out a few words from between her teeth.

Richard couldn't help but froze in place, and suddenly felt his heartbeat slow down by half a beat.

Who is she talking to?

Such questions appeared in Richard's mind, and he felt vaguely frightened.

From the perspective of the beautiful woman, she was staring at the empty ground and talking to herself.

But from Richard's perspective, that's not the case at all!

He is being stared at closely by a beautiful woman!

"I'm just talking to you, so don't look around."

The beautiful woman spoke again, gave Richard a blow on the head, and then quickly said:

"Ten years later, will you treat her sincerely??"

The beautiful woman's face was as cold as ice, she looked back and stared in Richard's direction, and repeated again.

This time, Richard's heartbeat was not just half a beat slow.

Lianna's mother was actually talking to him directly!

How can this be?

Richard felt a chill running down his back, as if someone was grabbing at his heart.

She was questioning him about the mistakes he had made.

"I……"

Richard opened his mouth, but found that no words came out.

His throat was like a bellows, and he could only make a broken exhalation sound, not even a single word could come out.

This time, Richard understood why he couldn't speak.

because of guilt.

For half a month, there was almost no interaction between him and Lianna.

Like a stranger who met by chance, he didn't like Liana, nor did he care about Liana's life or death.

It was just that in order to complete the invasion mission, it was necessary to disguise oneself and use Lianna as a shield.

"As expected, you still failed her."

At this time, the beautiful woman turned around with a gloomy face and walked straight towards where Richard was.

"No, I just..."

Subconsciously, Richard tried to turn around and run away.

However, just as he was unable to make a sound, his limbs were also imprisoned by an inexplicable force, making him unable to move.

The beautiful woman's eyes were red and swollen, and she stretched out her hands and pressed hard on Richard's neck, suffocating him until he couldn't breathe.

"Tell me, why do you treat her like this?"

Richard struggled desperately, his scarlet eyes bulging, trying to breathe.
