Chapter 749 Lapitus and Petrino (Part-2)

From the context of how Petrino said this, it made perfect sense.

But it was the implication of what this meant that made Lapitus freeze with fear.

\'What does he mean? She? Who\'s she?\' His eyes by now had shrunk to a needle size as he looked at Petrino in disbelief.

The fury now replaced with fear and apprehension.

It was as if his honed instincts were warning him not to go in that direction.

As for Petrino, seeing his brave, fearless attacker suddenly turn ashen with fear filled him with glee, as lifting his torso up, Petrino produced a mocking smile and a taunting look, saying,

"Heh! Since you are so stupid to figure it out on your own, then let me spell it out for you,"

"Felicia and I have been screwing for ages! Long, long before she got together with you. I even took her first time when she was twelve! Didn\'t you wonder why she was broken when you first laid with her? Idiot!"

Petrino threw that particular insult right back at Lapitus, twisting his lips into a cruel smile as he pointed out that Lady Felicia\'s hymen must have been already broken by the time Lapitus lay with his wife.

And as he revealed this great secret, Lapitus, standing opposite of him was stunned.

There was no way Petrino should have been aware of this intimate secret.

It should have only stayed between the two of them.

Of course, he knew about his wife\'s condition.

She had even revealed this to him in their nuptial chamber.

Of course, Lady Felicia did not explicitly she that she had no curtain underneath.

But as the two had kissed and made out on the bed, she let it out through a made up story.

Looking at Lapitus with misty, floating eyes, she had said, "Lapitus! Dear! I\'m scared. I\'m scared to do it."

"You see once when I was young, one day I had suddenly felt an immense pain down there during one of my equestrian lessons. And there was even blood."

"I never told anyone about this."

"But I still very clearly remember the pain from then."

"Will it hurt?"

Lady Felicia had back then looked like the most defenseless girl in the world, and her questions appeared to be that of an innocent flower who knew nothing of the impure acts that occurred between men and women in close bedrooms.

While Lapitus, being the much more experienced man of course knew what she meant.

The man by then had already slept with numerous girls courtesy of him being in the military and had even plucked quite a number of fresh roses, some willing, some even unwilling, so it was easy for him to determine what the issue here was.

And back then, he had simply laughed it off, more amused about Lady Felicia\'s innocence rather than worried about the implication.

And why would he be worried about the implications?

Well because Tibias, unlike Adhania, was a very conservation nation, where if a woman was to lose her virginity to anyone other than her husband, she would basically become unmarriable to anyone other than that man.

There were many instances of entire marriage agreements breaking down once it was found that the girl had laid with another man.

And if the girl slept with more than one man, then there were even cases of noblemen dueling to decide who she belonged to, the attempt many times resulting in death for the loser or even both participants.

Hence, if it was found that Lady Felicia did not have her proof of purity, it could raise various troublesome questions, even if the loss was completely by accidental external factors.

As Lapitus thought about this, his mind drifted toward other details too, like how their initial room was really dark, specifically made so at Lady Felicia\'s request.

"No! I\'m too shy. Don\'t look!" And whenever Lapitus had attempted to light it up a bit to gaze and appreciate her body that night, the lady had used this excuse to hide herself.

Like she was intentionally trying to hide something.

Back then Lapitus had not cared one hoot about all those as his head was filled with the anticipation of sleeping with his childhood sweetheart and only that.

But now when Lapitus thought about it, he found himself unable to recall if Lady Felicia had truly bled when he had inserted himself into her,

It had been too dark to confirm.

After all, that story she said could have just as well been her menses blood and the pain from cramps and not necessarily a rupture.

Plus, many girls have really thin hymen that was difficult to confirm even in the best of times.

Lapitus himself had encounters with two such women who he knew to be clearly virgins but were immensely difficult to verify through the tearing of the skin.

All these concerns, that had ever even crossed Lapitus\'s mind now suddenly came rushing to his head, just at Petrino\'s words.

Up until this point, in much contrast to the typical Tibian man, Lapitus had not really cared whether Lady Felicia was a virgin or not.

It was a moot point to him.

He only cared that he got her.

But if what Petrino said was true, if Lady Felicia had not really lost her hymen like she said, but instead was doing with Petrino what he claimed to be doing.

Lapitus found it impossible to simply stand still.

Even if Petrino was lying about everything else, just the fact that he knew that intimate fact about Lady Felicia was enough to start ringing alarm bells in Lapitus.

"What… what do you mean? Explain!" Lapitus hence slowly barked at Petrino\'s taunt, his eyes a thousand times darker than before.

If before it had blazed with fury, now it was filled with a cold pool of iciness.

He really wanted to know more.

"Heh! What do I mean! What do you think what I mean?" And facing this question, Petrino suddenly managed to throw those exact words back at Lapitus.

And then not wanting to keep the man waiting, he frankly revealed with a cruel, twisted smile,

"Felicia and I have been sleeping together before you got married. And we have been fucking the entire time. Get it? The entire time! Hahaha!"

Clearly Petrino was alluding to Lady Felicia having an affair with him despite being married for over eleven years!

And then seeing Lapitus grimace at this, Petrino let out another small euphoric chuckle.

The man had already given up getting out of this room alive, and so seemed to be on the path of inflicting as much psychological damage to Lapitus as possible.

Hence with a cackle, he continued,

"As for that rape you mentioned…in that party… nothing like that happened. She and I simply slept together. That\'s why I was so confused when you said that I r@ped her."

"R@pe her! Bah! Why would I have to r@pe Felicia? The slut opens her legs faster than those whores. All I have to do is look at her!"

Petrino actually sounded a bit disgusted at the accusation, like Lady Felicia was beneath him to violate, as if she was too easy to get.

And if Lapitus did not know that Petrino was actually too arrogant and stupid to be able to come up with this nonsense on the spot, he would have gutted the man then and there.

Listening to him any longer would have simply made Lapitus\'s ears hurt.

But Lapitus knew Petrino.

And though his heart screamed it was all a lie, that his beloved wife could never do a thing like that, his brain was telling him the opposite, it was telling him that Petrino\'s testimony was indeed possible.

"What! What are saying? Why would Felicia do such a thing?" Lapitus\'s voice right now sounded vastly different from before.

Whereas prior it was strong and robust and full of authority, now it was weak and meek.

Lapitus even sounded like he was on the verge of breaking into tears and collapsing.

If what Petrino said was true, then what was the point of all of this?

Who was he doing all this for?

These were the kinds of thoughts he was currently having.

And seeing this, Petrino gave no mercy, answering with a taunted bark,

"Hah! Isn\'t it obvious? Felicia has already loved the best things in life. Food, clothes, jewelry, homes."

"She wants the very best."

"But how could a pathetic beggar like you ever be able to get her any of that?"

"Just one bottle of that perfume I bought her costs more than your entire year\'s salary."

Petrino openly smirked with a taunt before finishing by saying,

"Haven\'t you ever bothered to wonder how she was able to afford all of those expensive things?"

"Because I bought them for her."

"And that\'s why she did it!"
