Chapter 96

[Which one do you think will happen faster?]

Is this dog crazy? Which devil in this world would want to be eaten up? But Lumiyan, after considering his viewpoint, of course chose the latter for Rosetta’s life.

“Yes, you should be eaten!”

[Okay, then I will work hard to get Rosetta to eat me.]

While Sihael kept humming about how he couldn’t wait to get eaten, Lumiyan crawled out from his grasp.

As expected, he was completely out of his mind.

‘My master has been caught by a madman…!’

However, Lumiyan did not have the courage to save Rosetta. Because the coward Lumiyan was very, very scared of Sihael’s fangs.

*  *  *

After a fierce chase with Lumiyan, Sihael left him alone when he collapsed from exhaustion and walked down the hallway with a leisurely pace. He passed his own room and stood in front of Rosetta’s room. He was troubled.

Should he knock and act like a gentleman, or should he open the door himself and receive Rosetta’s warm praises for opening the door all by himself.

Sihael, who was seriously considering which one would appeal to Rosetta more, decided to choose the latter.

Even though he looked like a gentleman in wolf form, he was nothing more than a cute dog in Rosetta’s eyes. If she saw him as a puppy anyway, wouldn’t it be better to dedicate himself to make Rosetta happy?

Sihael stood up against the wall and put his front foot on the doorknob. Then, he glanced at Leonard who was climbing up the stairs. Leonard’s eyebrows twitched as if he had seen something strange.

“Do you want me to open it?”

Sihael refused Leonard’s favor and turned the doorknob with all his might. However, what greeted him was not Rosetta, who smiled admiringly, but an empty room.

‘Why isn’t she here? She should have been here.‘

After entering the room with somewhat hasty steps, Sihael scoured the room. He checked under the bed, in the closet, and even in the bathroom, but he couldn’t find Rosetta.

‘Where did she go?’

As he opened the drawer and knocked his head, Leonard, who had followed him, twisted his lips.

“Do you really think Rosetta will fit in there?”

When the two of them were together, Leonard did not hesitate to speak informally with him.

‘Then where did she go?’

Sihael slammed the floor with his front paw to urge him to speak if he knew about her whereabouts

“Please talk to me before that.”

Since Leonard had been taking care of Sihael for 10 years, he now understood everything about him.

‘It’ll be faster if I find her.’

Shocked by Leonard’s uncooperative attitude, Sihael clicked his tongue and closed his eyes. He slowly relaxed his body and focused his mind. He could feel Rosetta’s presence in one place, albeit faint.

‘My room?’

Sihael was embarrassed. There was nothing, really nothing in his room. If there were any, he had already destroyed them all, so there was only one bed left to sleep on.

It was the one place he didn’t want her to be, but she had been waiting in his room all this time.

‘Just wait here.’

But contrary to what he thought, his tail was too straightforward. His tail swayed as if it had its own mind. Leonard frowned at him revealing his emotion without any intention of hiding it.

“Sihael, let’s talk.”

‘Get out of the way. I’m busy.’

He didn’t want to talk about work here.

Sihael, who pushed Leonard away with his head, ran straight to his room. He heard a low string of swear words from behind, but since he was a generous lord, he decided to let it go.

Sihael, who ran to his room at the speed of light, saw the door open about an inch and slammed his body against it.

Slam! Bang! Rattle~

When he appeared with a rather loud sound, Rosetta, who was reading a book leaning against the back of the bed, looked at him with rabbit-like eyes.

“Did you have fun?”

Seeing the bright smile on her face, conveying how glad she was to leave the door open, Sihael was overcome with an unknown feeling.

Even though this happens everytime in the Duchy, why do I feel so weird today?

Maybe it was because Rosetta was in his territory covered with his scent, and having someone waiting for him in his space made him feel a strange sense of satisfaction. At the same time, he felt a burning thirst, and licked his dry lips.

He wanted to run towards her right away and swallow her whole in one bite, but he wanted to keep this image in his eyes forever. As he stood still with indescribable emotions, Rosetta, recognizing his unusual expression, closed the book.

“Why? What happened?”

Sihael couldn’t bear it anymore and ran towards her and hugged her.

He couldn’t control his overflowing emotions. Her gentle touch on his back and her affectionate eyes were all only meant for him. That was why he wanted it all the more. He had a selfish heart that he didn’t want to show to anyone. A soft whisper sounded next to his ear.

“Do you want to eat my blood?”

‘No.’

Sihael shook his head.

He had no intention of ever touching Rosetta’s blood. Until he met Liliana, he thought maybe once a fortnight would be okay, but not anymore.

‘The wizard is right. Rosetta’s blood is dangerous.’

The story of the demon wife who took her own life after eating up her husband’s heart came as quite a shock to him as well. Rare blood is just as dangerous and tempting. To the point of destroying a love that transcends beyond races.

‘It can’t be stopped even with a half imprint.’

Because of this, Sihael could no longer guarantee that his relationship with Rosetta was safe. Rosetta didn’t seem to care about it, though. She believed that her fist was all she needed.
