Lesche.

The heat from hot water came from him. He was wearing a gown made of the same material as the one Seria had on. For some reason, his hands relaxed and slipped away.

Did you take a bath? (Seria)

Theres something splattered on your feet. (Lesche)

My feet? Did I step on something? The sorcerers blood?

Seria was puzzled but let it pass then asked Lesche.

I thought you werent coming to the bedroom today. (Seria)

Why wouldnt I come? (Lesche)

Didnt Linon tell you? (Seria)Seria meant the incident with Mies. Lesches expression changed slightly. At that time, Seria hugged his neck and kissed him.

Lesches red eyes grew wide. Their lips collided and Seria pushed her tongue in and Lesche opened his mouth, a little bewildered. As she dug inside his mouth and started licking, Lesches body froze at the sudden action.

Come to think of it, this was the first time I actively kissed Lesche. The first kiss is much better than I expected. It was a strange feeling, but not a bad feeling. Is this why Lesche kisses me so often as an addicted person?

Lesche didnt stay still for long. He held the back of Serias with a little more force as she tried to pull away. Then he dug inside her mouth. She felt like the kisses she gave were just childish pranks, because now Lesche was kissing her like he wanted to devour her.

Ah

Seria was soon out of breath. She pushed him away, but Lesche wouldnt let go of her body. Before she knew it, Lesche lifted her up.

Seria reflexively hugged Lesches neck tightly in fear that she might fall. The gown she was wearing slipped down a little.

Her soft mounds were exposed. Lesches hands stroked and lightly squeezed them. Her stomach tingled every time his fingers pressed against her bare skin. His lips then slid down and sucked the mounds deeply. Heat quickly built up in her lower belly. She could hear him moaning and her breathing became labored.

She felt the inside of her legs tighten and shudder. It was too much from the beginning, but why did she suddenly feel different now from earlier. Was it because she kissed him first?

Seria raised her hand and touched the inside of Lesches gown. She could feel him twitching as she tried to squeeze his muscular, perfect shoulders. She took advantage of the pause and finally managed to raise her head.

Lesche

She stroked his cheek slowly with her hand, trying her best to calm her hard breathing. She pretended to be serious, but her fingers were actually trembling.

You like this.?

Lesches gaze met hers. His red eyes shook finely.

I like you.

As soon as the low whisper ended, Lesche peeled Serias gown completely off. The thin fabric flowed down below her waist without resistance. Immediately, Lesche buried his face in her exposed valley as if he was thirsty for water. Her body trembled with the tingling sensation. Then, Lesches hot and hard rod began to thrust deeper in her tightened valley. Seria just let her body flow with his movements.

***

How much time has passed?

I think Im going to faint.

Lesche rubbed Serias cheek lightly. A hand stroked her hair, which was wet with sweat and clung to her forehead. She just lay still as her body felt heavy. All her strength was lost. She just she just gave him a kiss. A light kiss. How did it end like this? Suddenly she wondered if she should tie Lesche up next time before she kissed him. Because the moment he touched her body, he turned into a beast.

Buy a rope? Or should I get weapons from Bibi?

With this thought in mind, Seria held Lesches hand which kept touching her body endlessly. His strong hand that held the sword for a long time was calloused. The natural shape itself was very pretty. How much did those hands torment her body.

Lets stop thinking about it. At this rate, I wont be able to walk tomorrow.

Seria was about to fall asleep, but then she exerted her superhuman energy.

Lesche.

Lesches eyes, which had been watching her lips, slightly widened.

Are you alive?

Yes. Im still alive.

Im glad.

She had been thinking about this since Mies was at the auction house.

In the original story, too, did he act out so much?

No

In the original story, she saw his name, but why did he appear so noisily now?

At that moment, there was one thing that penetrated her mind.

Bergs circlet.

It was an object that was already deeply intertwined with Lina and the Oracle. It was easy to guess that if she searched behind Mies, who was trying to take the circlet, she could get important clues. To know that

Lesche.

Hmm?

Cant you find out why Mies aimed for the circlet?

Are you curious about that?

Yes, Im curious. Is it confidential?

What confidential? Ill show it to you.

Thank you.

At her thanks, Lesche looked at her with an amused expression. Did he like it that much? Seria coughed shyly and changed her expression, and Lesche tilted his chin slightly.

Seria.

Yes?

Ill ask you one thing now that you mentioned it. How come youre so fearless?

Im not fearless.

Lesche sighed lowly.

Its okay. Im a fool who believed what you said seven times that you promised to stay safe. (Lesche)

Are you mad at me? (Seria)

Not at you. (Lesche)

Lesche said in a slow tone as he stroked her cheek.

Im mad at myself. (Lesche)

I should have chosen to destroy the auction house. (Lesche)

Seria flinched. After hesitating for a moment, the busy hand slipped away. Lesches eyes were somber. Susans words kept lingering in her head.

Knights are meant to protect something. Its a real shame when they dont. Thats why Im sure His Highness was most heartbroken.

Hes upset.

It wasnt that she wanted to fight with Mies on purpose. She didnt expect Mies would look so much like Lesche. And she never would imagine Mies would kiss her. He was like a snake. She had a sense of danger that she was really going to miss something the moment she wobbled a bit.

If she didnt do what she did, the b*st*rd might have managed to escape right away, and the fact that she bit Mies ear was also instinctive and resourceful. She had heard that a lot of manpower was used to catch him but it was unsuccessful, so she wanted to catch him. That was what she thought.

Anyway

Susans words werent wrong. Im lucky I didnt get hurt.

If she had bitten his ear a little late, he might have swung his sword at her.

Seria lowered her eyes. She could understand what Lesche meant when he said he was angry at himself.

She tried to look into Lesches red eyes, but she felt like she was being read, so she just lowered her gaze to his chest.

Im sorry. (Seria)

for what? (Lesche)

Just this and that. Actually no. The more specific the apology, the better, so lets talk about them one by one. Lets start with Mies (Seria)

There. (Seria)

When Seria stopped talking, Lesche stared at her.

Why didnt I know this before? (Lesche)

What is it? (Seria)

I didnt know you were so talented at shaking peoples hearts. (Lesche)

NoLesche. If someone heard you, they would misunderstand.

Theres a lot to misunderstand. (Lesche)

Lesche smiled bitterly and called Serias name belatedly.

Seria.

His voice was different than before. Lechers hand approached Serias lower lip and swept along the line as if drawing over.Then, he slowly bit her swollen lips and licked them. The kiss was shallow and soft. After a few moments, Lesche lifted his chin slightly and whispered.

I wanted to cut out his tongue. (Mies tongue)

If you were hurt, I would go crazy.

Earlier You were insane enough. (*Seria meant about the deed they did)

Lesche chuckled. He kissed her and raised his head. Seria raised her hand and touched Lesches lips. She slowly brushed his lips like he did to her. Lesche playfully tried to bite her fingers, so Seria retreated fast, and Lesche burst out laughing.

If Linon interrogates Mies, hell tell you everything, right?

What kind of aide is germaphobic and smart enough to interrogate? Is that what Linon is? Linons survival was becoming more urgent. Seria was concerned.

Can I ask about Linon? Is it too much to ask?

Personally, Seria was very sorry for Linon, but This was his position. Linon was Bergs chief aide and Lesches immediate subordinate. Capturing Mies itself was a huge plan, and in the meantime, if anything went wrong due to Linons mistakes in judgment, it was not something she could be involved in.

Yes! This is the reason! Emotionally, I hope Linon doesnt suffer too much. I dont feel very good about the memory of him crying!

Seria, if you have something to say, please say it.

Seria, who was looking at Lesches face and thought, startled when Lesche suddenly opened his mouth.

How did you know?

Youre staring at me very hard.

Seria felt embarrassed at the thought that he could read her mind. Seria looked at him and asked frankly.

Linon..Is he alive?

Yes, hes alive.

Lesche answered simply, then stared at Seria.

Are you worried that Linon might die?

A little.

If Linon dies, will you cry in your sleep again?

?

For a moment, Seria couldnt understand what Lesche was saying, and later she chuckled. Thats right. She once woke up crying in front of Lesche. It was her wedding day. The day she almost died. The day she had a nightmare about dying.

When was that?

That was a few months ago now. When Seria rebuked him, Lesche smiled gently. He reached out and pulled her deeper into his arms. He patted Seria lightly on the back as if he was trying to get her to sleep. She felt a little uneasy.

Lesche, could it be?

Yes?

These days, I cry while sleepingdo I cry for help?

He didnt reply. A few moments passed, after Lesches lips touched her forehead and fell away.

Sometimes, yes.

Seria fell silent.

It happened sometimes in the short time after she possessed Seria. Perhaps it was because she couldnt believe that she was destined to die with her head cut off. There were times when she was asleep and jumped up crying.

But she didnt realize it at the time. She didnt realize that she had nightmares several times a week. It was only after she brought Abigail to her townhouse that she learned about the frequency of nightmares. Abigail burst through the door of Serias room and asked me as she was okay.Do you know how many times youve cried now? Who are those people who are trying to kill My Lady?

Bibi is a sinful womanShes very reliable and very energetic.

She hadnt done that lately, but it was a relief.

How would it feel if a person in the same bed with you cried begging for help? Lesche is the strongest person I know, but.still I dont feel good.

Did you feel bad? (Seria)

How about you? (Lesche)

Theres no way you can feel good when Im crying next to you. (Seria)

Lesche didnt answer right away. A short silence. Then

I feel like Im going crazy. (Lesche)

In an instant, Seria felt her heart sank.
