Chapter 70

‘However, I’m glad he has no sexual desire for me.’

However, this was originally intended to be an 18+ novel. Even though I wasn’t the main character, I had blood that was similar to hers. In other words, Sihael might find my blood tempting enough.

‘I need to be cautious about this.’

I shrunk my head back with a wary expression.

“From head to toe, I want to chew everything… What should I do? I feel like trash. I’m sorry, Rosetta.”

“You didn’t even consume my blood. You’re simply thinking too much.”

“I’d rather be a wolf and run wild.”

His face that touched my palm was hot. It was refreshing to see him properly reflect, but I couldn’t see his drooping shoulders.

‘What should I do about this? Should I let him go or not.’

I thought I would take revenge on him who teased me at every opportunity he got, but this guilt-stricken appearance did not suit him.

I removed my hand from Sihael’s face and pinched his cheek.

“Ughh”

Sihael, who had been attacked unexpectedly, widened his eyes in surprise.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness, but you’re mistaken. Did you seriously believe you could eat me?”

“Huh?”

“If the danger Liliana talked about is your appetite, then there is no need for me to run away. You can definitely bring it on. I’ll let you say hello with my fists until you get your act together.”

After speaking pompously, I realized my current physical condition and quickly added, “Oh, not now.”

I could handle him on my own if he ever lost his mind and attacked me, but not right now. I’d definitely lose if we fought right now.

Glancing at the bandages on my hand, I took a vigilant stance considering the circumstances in which he might attack. Sihael then burst out laughing. After laughing out loud for a while, Sihael gasped and wiped away his tears.

“Yeah, you just have to hit me until I get my act together.”

Sihael, who had neatly concluded, asked again, as if confirming.

“So, if I don’t listen, you will scold me loudly?”

“Yes.”

Sihael, despite my promise, gave me a lengthy lecture on how to effectively beat him because he was still worried.

Sihael closed the door quietly so Rosetta, who had fallen asleep, wouldn’t wake up, and looked at the door stiffly.

‘I’ll have to find that wizard first.’

He thought her words were nonsense, but everything was going as Liliana had said. He believed he could return to his normal state. However, he didn’t expect to be affected by her blood even in his human state. At this rate, he might completely devour Rosetta.

He still didn’t know what it was like to be poison to Rosetta, but he knew he was a danger to her. He would most likely lose his senses and run wild if he drank Rosetta’s blood, and he might even swallow her whole.

Whether this was because of his hunger or something else…

“I’m in trouble.”

Sihael mumbled to himself as he roughly combed his hair with his hands. He had explained to Rosetta that he wanted to devour her, but it wasn’t just his hunger that worried him.

Rosetta’s sweet scent made him dizzy, permeating all of his blood vessels and paralysing his nerves. He could only see her at that time and rushed forward as if he had transformed into a beast. The desire to get drunk on Rosetta collided violently with the desire to chew and swallow the entire Rosetta.

Why did I suddenly have such a desire? I never felt like this when I was a wolf!

Sihael hoped Rosetta, who had no idea, hadn’t picked up on his impure thoughts. He lacked the confidence to accept Rosetta’s contemptuous look.

If she keeps her distance from me…

“Ugh!”

Sihael couldn’t take it any longer and slammed his head against the wall.

‘The wizard must have been concerned about this.’

He didn’t know what would overcome him next time — his hunger or his lust for her, but no matter what, he’d lose his senses and attack her. He didn’t think Rosetta would be able to win against him.

‘I can’t just rely on Rosetta’s fists.’

The problem was that there was no other way but to give Rosetta the defense armour made by Nanabi. He had no choice but to find Lilliana and find a way as soon as possible. Sihael, who was on his way to Nanabi’s room, came to a halt when he noticed a figure ahead of him.

“Let’s talk for a minute.”

Lanoa opened the door to his room, a dissatisfied expression on his face. Sihael had anticipated Lanoa’s arrival by this point, so he gladly accepted his call.

“Was the Empress after Rosetta this time, rather than His Highness?”

“Yes.”

“Damn it!” Lanoa, who hurled insults, smacked the table. Ignoring an agitated Lanoa, he remembered the monster he had met in the mountain the day before.

‘Woman, we need to find the woman.’

The only women they could target were Rosetta and Nanabi. The monsters sent for Nanabi usually were the ones who appeared to be missing a screw. Therefore, the monster, whose neck Sihael blew away, was targeting Rosetta.

Why did she go after Rosetta and not me?

‘Is she trying to take her hostage?’

The monster that survived thanks to Rosetta was useless. The only mission he had been given was to steal the chimera pieces and destroy all the evidence. It was a disposable monster that didn’t know anything.
