Chapter 84

After I kissed his lips for the last time, I hit him hard on the back.

“Now, that’s it! I’ve kissed you the way you wanted me to, so it’s okay now, right?

Satisfied, I smiled contentedly and looked Sihael in the eye. Of course, I thought he would be satisfied too.

But what’s with his eyes?

His deep golden eyes grew darker. For some reason, I licked my parched lips in nervousness, and his gaze slid down. My shoulders trembled as I saw where his gaze had rested.

‘Wait, wait! It’s not that, right?’

I reached out hastily after noticing Sihael’s intent, but it was too late.

“No, ugh.”

Sihael suddenly bit my lower lip and stuck out his tongue.

‘No, not the blood!’

I desperately threw back my head. I snatched Sihael’s back and yanked him away from me, but he’d already licked my blood.

“Your Highness!”

Oh no! It was the first time he’d eaten my blood since Liliana’s warning. I got up from the sofa, fists clenched, and then gave Sihael a firm warning.

“I’m telling you in advance, but if you stick your jaw out at me again, I’ll beat you.”

“Can’t I just eat a little bit?”

When he ate blood, the mien of Shasha, who couldn’t control his instincts, vanished and was replaced by that of Sihael.

“What if something bad happens to you?”

“It’s all right. I know my body well.”

What do you know? Do you realise your eyes are almost out of focus?

Perhaps it was because he hadn’t eaten blood in a long time, but Sihael, who had succumbed to his desire, crept towards me. He approached me quietly, but he eventually crossed the line I had drawn.

“I warned you!”

I clenched my fist and lightly struck Sihael’s head with the tip of my fist. The effect appeared all of a sudden.

“Ugh, hit me gently.”

“What gently? You need to be punished more.”

Instead of reflecting, he continued to grumble, so I slapped his buttocks.

You bad doggy, you must be beaten until you come to your senses.

I hit him about one or five times. Sihael whined, “It hurts,Violent Princess.”

“Shut up, Mr. Pervert Wolf.”

Who are you calling a violent princess? You were the one who tried to eat me!

Sihael’s eyes became as big as a plate at my retort. He stuttered as if shocked by the word pervert.

“Pervert…? How can you call me a pervert?! Where else can you find an honest and hardworking young man like me!”

“An honest and hardworking young man doesn’t steal kisses as he pleases.”

“Steal kisses? Hey, you gave me permission.”

He was shameless to the end. He had not come to his senses even after being scolded and beaten so much. How can someone be this brazen!

“When did I do that?”

“You asked me to wake you up.”

“I asked you to slap me, not kiss me, wait, were you listening all the time?”

Sihael grumbled with a curt face.

“You thought I was a jerk, didn’t you?”

“Of course. If Shasha had rationality, would he be Shasha? No, it would be you, Your Highness.”

“It was me from beginning to end. I also heard Nanabi swearing at me.”

Sihael’s eyes changed sharply when he recalled her daring to call her lord a dog.

‘That’s why you tried to attack her.’

Seeing that he clearly remembers other things, he must have retained his rationality… But no matter how well I tried to think of it, it was a dog, no, a wolf, who ran at me.

“But why did you swallow my head? I was taken aback.”

“Because I felt like it?”

I was right. I guess he had retained his reason but only half. What type of person would follow a wolf’s habits? No matter how one looks at it, he was half a wolf.

‘The fact that he can retain even half of his reason means that something has changed.’

While I was lost in thought, I took a step back to avoid Sihael, who sneaked up on me, making his tail droop.

“I’m sorry. I was wrong.”

~Sob.

He blinked his big eyes slowly making a crying sound. When I saw his golden eyes wet with tears, my heart softened.

Oh, I’m going to be weak to his charms again.

‘You wicked wolf!’

Finally yielding to him, I spread my arms. Of course, I didn’t forget to wipe my blood thoroughly before doing that.

“Come here.”

As soon as my words fell, Sihael quickly ran to me and embraced me. I knew he was pretending to be pitiful and that it was all an act to arouse my pity, but I couldn’t call him out on that.

‘But what can I do? He’s so adorable.’

I rubbed Sihael’s back.

“Is there something wrong with your body? Is it different from before?”

“No, it’s the same. I just want to eat you because you smell delicious like before.”

I’m glad if that’s the case.

“Next time, don’t do that.  OK?”

“I’ll try.”

I didn’t think it was going to work just by trying. Also, it was hard to believe his words straight away because Sihael still gulped when he glanced at my lips.

I grabbed him by the head and buried him in my neck so that he could not see my blood.

‘If Liliana had seen it, she would have been frightened.’
