It's all because of Kaysis.
Who said it could be so different from the norm?
Even if I were a compatible mentor, was he supposed to be so lenient?
“Why?”
I responded calmly to his calm question.
“Because they said it was disgusting.”
I revealed my true memories, not Hilaria's current memories.
Then Casey opened his eyes sharply and answered in a sharp tone, as if he were chewing the words:
“Who dared?
It seems their eyes are in their feet.
Bring them to me, and I will rip their mouths out.”
His fierce look was strangely comforting, as if he was applying medicine to an old wound that I didn't even know was hurting.
The Caisis night that was heavy suddenly became like a secret bamboo forest where I felt refreshed.
“If there are people like this around you, come to me.”
As expected of a hero.
While I was stunned for a moment, Caisis did not miss the opportunity.
He laughed startlingly, pulling my hand closer to him.
I got so close to him that my knees touched his knees while he was sitting.
“What is your name?”
I tried to threaten him as I promised.
“I'm curious about you.”
I was going to scold him.
Didn't we agree not to ask about such matters?
“You come to save me, so why are you trying to keep our distance?”
I tried to turn away harshly despite the desperate look in his sparkling blue eyes.
[To collect direction points, you need contact!]
If the system window hadn't flashed a warning as if it were reading my mind, I would have done that.
If I hadn't found the sight of him sighing sadly instead of angry at my silence strange, I might have.
I automatically held my breath.
Then I realized.
Oh, I'm not playing Duchess Ariel now.
It was acceptable for me to react with hesitation, or to be afraid if I felt afraid.
Even in front of Kaysis, whom I feared and avoided more than anyone else.
I felt like I could finally breathe.
“Is someone restraining you?”
His guesses continued.
“Is she the head witch?”
The moment of emotion was shattered.
'It's me!'
What ingratitude!
For a moment, I felt angry and stared at him.
He calls me in the day and scolds me because I didn't find anything, and now what?
He still doubts me?
What is this man?
“No, not that woman, right?”
While I was staring at him coldly, he suddenly changed his words.
What is he trying to do now?
"This is frustrating.
Should I really not know anything about you?"
“Yes, this is our deal.
Otherwise, I will never come back to you, and also...”
“Okay.”
When I spoke intentionally coldly, Kaysis quickly grabbed me.
“There's no need to threaten me.”
He spoke in a reassuring tone and said he understood, then went back to rubbing his lips on the back of my hand.
"Yes."
“I will do as you wish.”
Instead of touching, it was light friction, as if he was joking.
Whenever our skin touched, the energy was gently absorbed, perhaps because of this tickling sensation.
My heart was beating loudly.
'This won't work.'
I'm here to force him and collect points.
I closed my eyes tightly, thinking that Casey was easier when he wasn't conscious, and I moved.
“What are you going to do?”
What is this pretense of innocence?
“There is only one reason I came here.”
I boldly closed the distance between us.
Even Hilaria, whose body I moved to, was tall for a woman, so I was looking at the sitting person a little from above.
“Your Majesty.”
“I came to save you.
So, from now on, what we need is not to talk.”
I felt so ashamed while uttering these sentences, that I almost died of embarrassment.
However, the man in front of me was feeling worse, or at least no less.
'When you find out who I am later.'
When he learns that the person he was flirting with is Duchess Ariel, it will be a terrifying black history that will make him kick his duvet countless times.
With this consolation, I held the Emperor's cheeks.
And I was surprised.
‘What is this softness?
Is this baby skin?'
How could a man in his early twenties have such smooth skin as ten-year-old Louis?
Isn't this a scam?
Although I was shocked by this feeling, I lowered my head steadily.
'Strange.'
Rather, uncommon.
I didn't know how to manage my facial expressions.
'Ah, the beginning is different.'
Every time I met his eyes, the unconscious person attracted me, and so the guidance began.
So, kissing his eyes while looking at each other was very awkward and awkward.
Especially since I have to be the one to start!
'Why is he staring at me like that?'
This won't work.
“Don't look.”
I extended my hand and covered his annoying blue eyes with my palm.
The feeling of his long eyelashes under my skin tickled me.
“Even looking is forbidden?”
Stop showing this complaining tone.
“Yes, it is forbidden.
It is annoying.”
“You are both normal and embarrassed when you deal with me.”
“Do you know how ridiculous that expression is?”
“Different from others and unique.”
“I said don't speculate.”
While suppressing my inner turmoil, I remembered my goal.
No matter what happens, I must complete the mission.
Involvement with the Emperor is inevitable, but I must achieve a happy ending without detection.
So, I will not die, and I will end this new life happily!
'To do this, I must conduct a proper orientation first.'
I closed my eyes tightly and kissed his lips.
The moment I touched him, I felt his hand holding my shoulder squeeze hard and then relax as if it was in a state of amazement.
His desperate movements, as if he were ing, were pathetic.
When I parted my lips a little, Caseys pleaded, still connected to me:
"More.
It's not enough."
once again.
“Do it again.”
And other times.
Energy flowed into him several times.
As I watched the veins swollen from pain gradually turn into smooth skin, I released the energy.
“Ha, is this feeling...”
“It's like my mind is melting.”
I tried to ignore his words that made me feel ashamed.
I tried to control myf so that his heat would not transfer to me.
“Your Majesty, let me go.
You have calmed down now, haven’t you?”
“Who said that?”
“I know.
So let me go.”
“Are you leaving?”
I kept smiling with difficulty as I spoke, but Casey did not relax his arms around my waist.
Our foreheads touched.
“Are you leaving like this?”
“Your condition has stabilized, so I have to go.”
“Why does it have to be like that?”
His nearby face was still strong, and I felt heat rising to my face.
I felt angry.
He was acting like that on purpose, I'm sure.
I was not enchanted by this man, but I was simply not immune to rational contact!
‘What are these charming movements?
Get your face away!'
The system window was also making noise.
Perhaps she was referring to the accumulation of points, or perhaps she was warning me that the daily time for me to transform into my maid form had ended after the Emperor settled down.
“Maybe...”
“If someone is restricting you.”
No one restricts me.
“It doesn't matter who you are.”
Not true.
“Come to me.”
I felt like I should pull away, but my hand was gently held.
His cloudy eyes were trying desperately to hold me in his gaze.
“I will not catch you.
I may not know during the day, but at this moment of the night, I will wait for you.
Instead, I propose a deal.”
What is this talk?
“Tell me your story.”
“What?”
I blinked because I did not expect this.
“Tell me your story.”
“So you were trying to find out something!”
“No, I'm curious about you.”
It was as if a stone had been thrown onto the surface of a calm lake.
When I looked into his eyes again, I realized.
The only moment I can be honest in this world is in front of Casey.
