"Lien, don't look at me."

"...?"

Simultaneously, his lips moved from my crown to my nape, one by one. The sensation was as if I had been touched by fire, and I bit my lower lip hard.

His impatient lips tore at my clothes, which were precariously draped over me.

The sleeve that had been draped over my shoulder fell to my waist.

"Roan?"

"I don't want to show you an ugly sight like jealousy..."

Although he said he didn't want to show me, his face, shimmering through the window, was already clearly visible against the night sky.

Even though his figure was a bit blurry, I could clearly see that his eyes were darker than the night sky.

The man who was least suited to the word "ugly" was there.

"Ah!"

Because of the clothes I had taken off, his hot body pressed directly against my exposed back.

Naturally, I pressed my body against the cold window.

As my body was slightly crushed against the huge, cold glass, I felt a shiver run down my spine from the coldness and pressure.

His hot lips began to actively caress my nape.

Not knowing where to put my hands, I scratched the window frantically with my fingertips.

Because of this high place, I was caught between the anxiety that the glass would break and fall and the incredibly stimulating desire behind me.

His amplified desire was felt vividly, asserting its massive presence.

Roardness, who was closer to me, buried his face in my nape and made a moaning sound.

His hot breath scattered over my shoulders and nape in succession.

It was a breath with a clean mint scent.

His hot touch repeatedly touched and left my skin, which was covered in goosebumps.

White steam formed and disappeared on the cold glass that had touched my skin.

My body was now steadily warmed and tinged with red.

The fact that he didn't want me to see him, unlike usual, was so stimulating that even the hairs on my ears stood on end.

"Roan, sometimes..."

Just as his breath became rougher and he started to bite my shoulder, I said, writhing.

"You're so... skilled... I feel like I'm being deceived. You're always so..."

A hot breath shattered roughly in my ear.

For the first time, I heard him laugh lowly through his breathless breath.

"Actually, I'm not a beginner."

"...What?"

His lips, which had been gnawing on my shoulder, pressed close to my ear and whispered,

"For a very long time... you've always been in my dreams."

"What are you saying?"

"And there's nothing I can't do in my dreams."

"Ro, an!"

A low voice, half playful, moistened my eardrum with hot breath.

"I told you, Lien. I've always wanted you."

Finally regaining his natural smile, the man, like a lone star shining in the dark night, reddened his eyes.

"In my dreams, we spent countless nights together."

Every time his hot body wrapped around me, chills ran down to my toes and my vision alternated between white and black.

A hot and humid place filled with anxiety, jealousy, desire, and ecstasy.

But it was also like a fountain of sweet pleasure.

"Since I was very young..."

The demonic man who dominated this dark space pressed his lips closer to my ear.

Roardness's dark gaze deeply stared at the 'small forest' visible through the large window.

At the same time, a low, eerie voice slithered into my ear like a snake.

"I've always wanted us to be this close, Lien."

It was the sound of an endless night beginning.

****

Roardness repeatedly ignored the letter sent by the Emperor.

"Roan, now, stop..."

"Because you're not interested in me, I want to do it more."

The feeling of him touching my back was hot and chilling.

Both Roardness and I received an enormous amount of letters overnight.

For me, most of them were letters from Bianca or Olivia, saying that they were coming to the capital with my father and about the saint's enthronement ceremony.

The situation was similar for Roardness, but the difference was that the people who sent him letters were the Railron and Siscometine Earls, who had newly decided to support Roardness, in other words, people he didn't like.

A hot hand dug into my armpit from behind and then wrapped my shoulder tightly.

Roardness, who scattered hot breath on my nape as if whining, rubbed against me subtly.

I involuntarily let out a moan.

It was because I couldn't leave the bedroom from early evening until dawn and spent the night with him. In other words, I couldn't sleep properly.

"Why am I not interested in you? I've been clinging to you all night and you're all I can think about right now."

At my grumbling, he hugged me tightly from behind and remained silent for a long time.

"Are you listening?"

"...Say it again."

I felt his firm cheek against the back of my head. His grip on my shoulder tightened.

"That you can only think of me, say it again."

"..."

"Huh?"

He gently grabbed my chin with one hand and pulled it back.

His eyes, shimmering with ecstasy, were shining at me eagerly.

My cheeks, as reflected in his eyes, were excessively red.

Realizing that, my ears felt even hotter, as if they were on fire.

When I looked back at what I had just said without thinking, I was so embarrassed that I couldn't bear it.

I tried to turn my trembling gaze in the opposite direction of his eager eyes.

My eyelashes, fluttering, cast a shadow as deep as my lowered gaze, and then I could barely open my mouth.

"Right now. All my attention is on you, Roan. In my head right now... there's only you."

Suddenly.

Something sparkling poured in front of my eyes.

His platinum blonde hair, shining cleanly in the morning sunlight, poured over my cheek, and his hot lips immediately stuck to mine.

The ecstatic kiss instantly reminded me of last night.

My body, which had been warmed up again, began to get hot at once.

Knock, knock.

His breath, which had been sweet, gradually became rough, and the place where he didn't touch me became as hot as if it had been touched by fire, when someone knocked on the door outside.

Just like last night when letters arrived, Roardness ignored the sound and focused on me.

Knock, knock.

"Your Highness."

The voice sounded more urgent, so I slowly turned around and pushed his chest hard.

His lips, which still held a trace of regret, parted, and his eyes, wiping his wet lips with the back of his hand, were hazy like those of a drunk person.

"I heard it too."

"It must be urgent, I should go out now."

A trace of resentment flashed and disappeared in his eyes, which were gradually regaining their focus.

But for a moment, Roardness put me in his arms and caught his breath roughly.

"I have to work. You drive me crazy. You broke your promise to wait for me in a safe place, but when I see you, I can't control myself. It's unfair. It's sad. I'm angry. I want to destroy everything... You just make me forget everything."

It's because of you.

A serious and low voice crawled between the bed.

"I want to roll around like this for days or months."

"Still, Roan."

I had to force myself to speak in a calm and cold voice, despite the heat that felt like it would burst my body.

The anxiety about the important plan ahead. The uncertainty about the future. All of that flew away when I was with Roardness.

A low voice that tickled my heart.

The feeling of floating above the sky and then plummeting to the ground, followed by a strong embrace.

Whispers that never stopped saying "I love you" and eventually didn't even refuse pleas.

Nothing could move me.

Knock, knock.

"Your Highness."

When Vincent's voice flowed into the room a little more strongly, Roardness kissed my lips and slowly got up.

His healthy body, which seemed like a different person every time I saw him, was soon wrapped in a decent suit.

I also put on the clothes that Yona had brought me at dawn and went to meet him.

Because of the mottled marks on my nape, left by Roardness, it was too much for me to follow him to the front door right now.

"Today, everyone will hold onto me and won't let me go. I've been in endless meaningless meetings until you came. Don't come to the saint's enthronement ceremony this afternoon, just stay here and rest. It's a waste of time. I'll take care of the Doris Castagna matter and come back."

Roardness replaced his farewell with a short kiss filled with regret.

"Wait for me. I'll finish everything and come back when you've eaten something sweet and rested in a warm place."

I stood by the window and watched Roardness get on a horse with Vincent.

When I met Roardness's eyes, who looked up at me, he smiled at me as if he had the whole world.

I could see Vincent shaking his head beside him.

I smiled and waved at him.

Roardness also waved lightly and left the manor.

"Roan, I..."

I traced the cold window surface with my fingertips, over his departing figure.

"I've always wanted to be helpful to the person I love."

I was no longer sick or weak, and I could get up like this and see him off even after staying up all night with Roardness.

Roardness would never know how heartwarming this was for me.

Of course, I would wait for him as Roardness had asked.

But not like when I loved Noebian...

'I wish there was something I could do for you.'

I won't just wait helplessly and do nothing.

"The desire to protect the person you love is the same."

"It's just that, Roan."

I had to make an effort to keep my voice calm and cold, despite the heat that felt like it would burst my body.

I, too, couldn't bear to watch Roardness alone on a difficult path, just as it was Roardness's love to want to do all the hard and dirty work himself.

How could I be told to live the same way as before when I could finally have the healthy body I had always wanted, but this time as Adriene, myself?

'I have my own way too.'

For you and for myself... I'll do everything I can.

"...That's my love."

The entrance door of the manor closed completely.

Even the sound of Roardness's horse's hooves faded into the distance.

I stared at my reflection in the window.

I know a woman with the same face as this face, a woman I want to wake up and hear her story, and a woman I want to be happy.

Knock, knock.

"Madame. Enough of reminiscing, shall we do our work now?"

Epero's voice, who finally started to knock after I scolded him to do so, split the bedroom.

"The High Priestess has already left the manor early in the morning, so we should go too."

I buttoned up my collar and greeted Epero.

The day has dawned for me to start my battle.

"It's just that, Roan."

I had to force myself to speak in a calm and cold voice, despite the heat that felt like it would burst my body.

I, too, couldn't bear to watch Roardness alone on a difficult path, just as it was Roardness's love to want to do all the hard and dirty work himself.
