Keira fell silent when she heard this.
Erin and Jenkins exchanged a glance, then turned their heads toward Sean with a shared look of curiosity.
Androgynous? Did that mean p>
While they were thinking this, Sean’s cold voice came through: “What are you staring at? Keep it up and I’ll gouge your eyes out p>
The two immediately felt a chill down their spines and quickly looked away.
That sense of pressure, one they’d known since childhood, clamped down on them, making them uneasy.
When Clownfish said he’d gouge their eyes out, it might have been a threat from someone else, but from him? It was the real deal.
When they were in kindergarten, someone had offended “her”, and “she’d” threatened, “I’ll knock all your teeth out p>
And that person really had lost all their teeth p>
While the other two had turned away, Keira didn’t flinch. She kept her gaze fixed on Clownfish’s direction.
Surprisingly, Sean didn’t snap at her but only sneered. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll gouge your eyes out, Miss Olsen p>
Keira remained calm. “If you gouge my eyes out, you won’t have anyone to cook for you p>
Sean paused for a moment.
He didn’t fear death—he was even willing to go down with anyone if needed—but he couldn’t stand the feeling of hunger.
The sensation of not being able to eat was unbearable, and he didn’t want to go through that again p>
He inhaled deeply. “You should be thankful you can cook. Otherwise, I wouldn’t tolerate you for a second p>
His personality was so twisted, stubborn, and completely different from that warm, noble young master he seemed to be.
Keira locked eyes with him. “So, are you really androgynous p>
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Sean snapped. “How could I possibly be androgynous? I’m just p>
At that point, he suddenly took a deep breath, and his tone softened. “Let me explain, Miss Olsen p>
Then, just as suddenly, his voice turned sinister. “Fine, you explain p>
Sean softened again and looked at Keira with a smooth smile. “Miss Olsen, my apologies. That was my sister p>
Keira was perplexed.
Jenkins and Erin were both intrigued.
Their ears perked up, and Erin even instinctively pulled out a pistachio, ready to snack!
But in the next moment, Sean shot them a cold glare, and Erin quickly put the pistachio away, too frightened to eat.
She didn’t want her eyes gouged out… oh no p>
Keira studied him, and after a long pause, she finally realized something. “Is it dissociative identity disorder p>
Sean gave a bitter laugh. “Yes p>
He lowered his gaze. “In my family, the heir has to be a girl. So, since I was a kid, my mother told me I was a girl. That caused some confusion about my gender identity, and I really thought I was a girl. As I grew older, a secondary personality formed. That’s my sister p>
At this point, Sean paused, a bitter smile playing on his lips. “Actually, since childhood, she’s been the dominant personality. I’ve always been the secondary one p>
He let out another bitter chuckle. “I’m the ‘normal’ one, and I only came out after I left the South family. My sister has always been in control of this body p>
Keira asked, “So why are you in control of the body now p>
“Because of hunger p>
Sean let out a wry smile. “The feeling of hunger is just unbearable. My sister didn’t want to experience that, so she let me take control. Over the years, I’ve been searching all over the world for someone who could feed me. It’s true that you saved my life! If it weren’t for you back in Oceanion, I would’ve starved to death p>
Keira looked at him. “So, you were that powerful in Country A, too p>
“Yeah, I paid so many taxes to Monbatten, how could he not treat me like a VIP?” Sean smiled slyly at Jenkins. “Some people just can’t get the king’s favor p>
Jenkins was speechless.
Thinking back to the tough years and how one little joke from Clownfish made her afraid to return home, her fists clenched!
But then—oh no, she was too scared to even look at her. Eyes gouged out… Ugh p>
She glanced at Erin.
Erin was just as anxious, feeling a deep, unrelenting itch to know what Clownfish really looked like, and, of course, how could she not want to enjoy some pistachios while they were at it?
Keira continued, “So, are you willing to cooperate with me p>
Sean chuckled. “What other choice do I have? You’re my bread and butter, my ATM p>
Keira didn’t know what to say.
Sean paused. “Actually, it’s not just about getting our support. You also need the support of the kings of all the nations! If Country A backs you, you’ll have the strength to rival that guy from M country p>
Keira frowned. “My father already handled the negotiations p>
“That’s just a business deal,” Sean said with a grin. “Monbatten’s biggest issue is his heirs. If you could have a child connected to him, that’s when you’d truly be bound together p>
