Love’s Perfect Match Chapter 311


    Elspeth was dragged into the house and forced toplete the wedding ceremony with Edmund, then


    she was pushed into a room. The stronger servants told her to stay in the bed and never take her veil


    off unless stated. Then they tiptoed away. “Damn it. I knew I couldn’t rely on Harper and Gilbert.” She


    rolled her eyes and took off the veil. Then she tossed it onto the ground like it was a piece of tattered


    cloth.Despite her foul mood, Elspeth still kept her eyes on the entrance. If Edmund steps through that


    door, I will stab him with this dagger. That’ll teach him not to mess with me. Just when she was


    wondering what she should do with Edmund, she heard the door creak. Elspeth hid the dagger behind


    her and held the hilt tightly while staring at the door. A familiar figure stepped in, but it was Arthur. “Why


    are you here?” Elspeth heaved a sigh of relief and stood up, but her dagger fell. The ng rang across


    the silent air.“If my idiot brother hadn’t proposed to you, I wouldn’t have toe here.” Arthur’s gaze


    shifted from her to the dagger on the ground. “Someone really hates marrying Edmund.” Even though

    Arthur was trespassing, he waltzed into the room like he owned the ce, then he sat before the


    table.“What do you want?” Elspeth didn’t know what Arthur had in mind, but it was probably worse than


    what Edmund was nning. She took a few steps backward and put some distance between


    them.“Calm down. I’m not here to hurt you. I want to help.”Elspeth almost burst out inughter. Oh,


    you’re not here to help. You just want to lead me out of this ce and take me for yourself. Elspeth


    moved backward and put her hand behind her. “I don’t need your help.”“Oh? Then why are you holding


    your dagger?” Arthur smiled, pouring himself a cup of tea.Elspeth held her dagger tightly. She had an


    extra prepared just in case, but Arthur didn’t try to take it from her. He was still drinking his tea.Arthur


    took a whiff of the tea. Hm. Aphrodisiac. “He spiked the tea.”“He spiked the tea?” Elspeth’s face fell.


    She was focused on the escape n so much that she didn’t realize Edmund had spiked the drink. If I


    had yed along and drunk that tea because I needed an opening, he would have gotten to me.


    Terrifying. “Wait. Why are you here anyway?” Sweat was pouring forth from her forehead, and she


    stared at Arthur.“I told you. I’m here to save you. Nothing more, nothing less.”“As if.” Elspeth didn’t


    believe that. “We’ve been enemies for a long time, so cut the crap. Don’t give me that ‘turn a new leaf’


    sh*t.”He was looking at me in disgust just a few days ago. What’s with the change? He doesn’t even


    feel evil. “Turn a new leaf? No, I don’t think what I did was wrong.” Arthur sneered.Elspeth snapped out


    of it. Yep. He’s still the same old guy, but somehow, he feels wrong today. Why is he saving


    me?“However, you saved my life. I owe you one, so this time, I’m repaying my debt.” Arthur put down


    the cup of tea, stood up, and approached Elspeth.Elspeth was sure Arthur didn’t mean any malice at


    the moment, but she was still worried. “How can you even bust me out? The security here is


    airtight.”“Easy. This ce used to be my friend’s estate. I know all the secret passages here. How do


    you think I got in?”Elspeth froze. “What?” He’s… odd. Full of mysteries. “Who is your friend?”“Can’t tell


    you just yet.” He still had that small smile on his lips, but it was disappearing.Arthur was still the same


    man she knew, but he felt different. He used to be a hypocrite. A snake, she would say, but now he felt


    mysterious. Not even she could figure him out.“Let’s go. If Edmundes back, none of us can


    leave.”Elspeth’s heart sank. She stood up and tore off her crown, her hair tumbling down her


    shoulders. Next, she took off her heavy cape and dress, leaving only thestyer, which was a white


    shirt, on. That would make escaping easier. “Let’s go.”“I’ll take you to the passage.” Arthur stared into


    her eyes, and he felt something stir in him. It was a familiar yet strange feeling.They opened the door


    and looked around. The guards were knocked out, thanks to Arthur. He then took Elspeth by the hand


    and went toward the eastern corner. There, a boulder stood. Arthur moved it away, revealing a dark


    tunnel that could only fit one person at a time. “Just keep moving and you’ll see the exit. Continue out


    and you’ll be fine.”Elspeth nodded, but she had her guard up.“Go in. I’ll seal the tunnel with the


    boulder.”Arthur looked like he was doing it for Elspeth, but Elspeth thought otherwise. “You sure you’re


    not trying to lock me in so you can kill me?”Arthur chuckled. “You read too many stories. Killing you


    does nothing for me. I don’t want you marrying Edmund, nor do I want Emma to marry Callum.” Arthur


    spoke nonchntly, but there was love in his voice.Elspeth nodded and entered the tunnel. Soon, she


    realized Arthur wasn’t lying. Once the hole behind her was sealed, she saw a dim light ahead of her.


    She followed that light and eventually came to a clearing. Dusk had descended, draping the city in a


    nket of darkness. She looked back and only saw a speck in the distance. That was the vi she had


    escaped from. Elspeth took out her ring to establish contact with Gilbert, but the moment she made


    contact, a muscr silhouette appeared.“I have orders to capture you.”
