Chapter 106 - Don't Run Around, Okay?

R+13

Giovanni didn't know how Emery would react to knowing about this, but he recoiled in fear that the Bishop's attitude towards him would change and that he would become something that could be used.

"Calm down I just want to see if your health hasn't been harmed by the things we did yesterday," Emery said very seriously, but that didn't make the sentence any less embarrassing.

Giovanni felt his face get hotter, he looked at Emery only to see the pretty face approach him which made him look surprised and shy.

Were they going to do "this" now in the middle of the afternoon?

"You don't have a fever, let me hold your wrist... Yes, now don't move" Emery said suddenly pulling his face away and taking Giovanni's hand.

The poor novice felt even more embarrassed than he had thought such shameless things just because of the handsome Bishop Darcy's approach.

"Your MANA is messed up and your veins are lacing through the MANA... I'll try to sort this out and heal the wounds... This might take a while, so let's go to bed and get comfortable to do this quick"

Giovanni, a little stunned, let himself be taken by Bishop Darcy and sat on the bed, he felt soft and warm energy enter his body and the pain was decreasing little by little.

The novice returned his gaze to Bishop Darcy's handsome face, the concentrated face and closed eyes making the bishop seem more approachable, the red hair looking warm under the heat of the magical illuminating items.

"Alright, how do you feel now?" Emery said opening his eyes and catching Giovanni watching him intently only to then turn away his face which was as red as a bright ripe tomato.

"I... I'm much better" Giovanni said a little shyly without looking at the bishop.

"Is something else bothering you? Don't hold this to yourself. Giovanni?" Emery called, but the young novice was too embarrassed to look in the Bishop's direction.

Emery put his hand on the young man's face which made him start and look at the man who was touching him gently.

The bishop's thumb dropped to Giovanni's full pink lips making a soft caress causing the young man to shiver and his face turning red again, his eyes got slightly moist and he seemed to be shyly anticipating something.

"Do you understand me, Giovanni? Don't hide if you're hurt, okay?" Emery asked having Giovanni's full attention now.

Giovanni very slowly nodded his head gently in agreement with the bishop's request, he was slightly pleased by the man's concern for him.

In many years he only had old Lattanzio who cared about him as a human being, but the protection was not that great, just enough for him to survive without being isolated from the world, as the bishop was helping him so he could be free and expand his space.

Helping him get to a place where he could be whoever he wanted to be wasn't just anyone who could help with that.

"I'm glad you agreed"

Giovanni's lips were pressed to Emery's as soon as he finished speaking, heat spread from both their mouths, the bishop's tongue slid into the novice's mouth gently and he hugged the young man's body that looked very fragile in his embrace.

Giovanni's body seemed to melt from the heat of the other, he shyly allowed himself to wrap his arms around the man's neck, taking advantage of that. Emery deepened the kiss and brought the young man to sit on his lap.

The long kiss ended and soft kisses were spread over Giovanni's face leaving him even more stunned.

"I don't like it when you get hurt and enduring the pain alone," Emery said very softly.

Emery was well aware that the Giovanni personality featured in the book was one of those people who put up with a lot and remained silent about their own pain and feel as if they feared someone would find out and use it to try to kill him.

From a certain perspective, Giovanni in the book really had to protect himself as the plot world was too cruel, but he felt worried that the young man would actually guard the wounds and end up in deteriorating health, which wouldn't be good for anyone.

"I didn't mean…" Giovanni tried to say only to be silenced again with a kiss and his body relax and warm in Bishop's arms.

"I know, you don't want to worry me, but I'll be more worried if you hide your injuries," Emery said softly leaving one more kiss on the young man's wet lips that made him look a little dazed.

"Doesn't he know what happened at dawn?" Giovanni thought suddenly under Emery's watchful eyes.

"I didn't say anything. You humans should understand each other," Azarphy said suddenly in Giovanni's mind.

"Why?"

"Do I need to explain my thoughts to an ignorant human?" Azarphy said with sarcasm and ended the conversation leaving doubts in the hearts of Giovanni and Yani.

Emery cuddled with Giovanni for a while feeling if the young man's body was overloaded from yesterday and wondered what happened to the novice's MANA veins to be so injured.

Until he felt dizzy for a few moments, reminding him that he hadn't eaten anything in over 12 hours and that he had expended a lot of his magical powers since Azarphy called him to save Arabeth.

"I think the food will get cold, let's eat it" Emery caught Giovanni's attention by placing a kiss on his forehead and placing him on the bed.

Giovanni felt strangely saddened by the development as his face turned pink from thinking such impure thoughts in the daylight.

The two men ate silently, Emery had his thoughts lost and Giovanni glanced at Bishop Darcy's handsome face once and for all, but the other was so distracted he didn't notice.

"Arabeth's presence has disappeared. There are only three options, he was killed or he was banished to hell or he was sealed somewhere" Yani commented after some time, he had watched the whole pink scene with skepticism, but if Giovanni was happy he hadn't risk to his life, so he just kept silent.

Fortunately, with the help of Bishop Darcy, the expansion of the veins through which the MANA went through became thicker and firmer, which would make it easier when he possessed Giovanni's body in times of need.

There was a high possibility that Emery was involved in Arabeth's disappearance, of course, it could also be that the holy knights discovered the demon marquis and banished him to hell.

The two finished eating and Giovanni used CLEAN to clean the plates, glasses, and silverware. Afterward, Emery put everything in his magic bag and took out some clothes for Giovanni, leaving them on the bed.

"I have an appointment with Abbot Eurico now. So stay in the bedroom and don't leave, I'll leave my guardian with you. You stay here and don't leave, I'll order your things and your transfer." Emery repeated twice, he was afraid that if Giovanni left and a calamity happened.

He was wary of the plot, Arabeth had now officially ceased to be Giovanni's ML, but the plot had already sent a demon even more capable than Arabeth. Emery was afraid that the force of the plot would lead to Giovanni being arrested and whipped a few hundred times as in the original book.

Giovanni felt a little guilty about letting Bishop Darcy do things for him. However, it's not like he had a choice, as there was still Rutger out there and Bishop Caruso who seemed to have joined the priest in tormenting his little life. He's just the weakest on the food chain. It would be doubtful if Abbot Eurico would even receive Giovanni in his office.

"You don't need to look at me like that. I'm just keeping my promise," Emery said pulling Giovanni into his embrace. The young man was paralyzed first, before he felt his face heat up, he was sure to be blushing like a virgin maiden.

"Is it always going to look like this in red? We're not strangers, so don't mind those little things so much." Emery said kissing the corner of Giovanni's slightly pink lips.

Of course, Giovanni became much shyer and even his ears turned red. He looked away, not noticing the deep look in Emery's eyes that stared back at him.

The fierce kiss took Giovanni by surprise, but he could only submit and let the older man explore his mouth until he moaned with his tongue being sucked. The body that was tense became weak and leaned closer to Emery's body.

Giovanni could only moan helplessly as he clutched Bishop Darcy's clothing as his mouth was plundered and his mind turned to mush and his body went weak with desire. Emery's hands are long-fingered, the fingers slide through Giovanni's short, soft hair, in addition to the other hand that holds the young man's waist tightly.

Emery looked a little strange and a little too fierce as he bit the soft part of Giovanni's ear, making the other shiver. His kisses left red marks along his neck, Bishop Darcy's hands slipped under his loose shirt, groping his waist and making Giovanni a little anxious.

It looked like Emery and Giovanni were going to exercise in bed again.

Only for Emery to suddenly stop everything and walk away, he looked at Giovanni who had a pink face and watery eyes, only to kiss one of his eyes causing the other to finally come back to reason.

"Don't run around. There are still many holy knights making rounds in the corridors. Stay in the bedroom. I'll be right back." Emery said stroking Giovanni's tender face, who blinked a few times a little confused and a little shy.

Giovanni could only foolishly agree, so Emery helped him to sit up in bed, as his legs were still a little weak.

The figure of Bishop Darcy disappeared behind the closed bedroom door. Giovanni was still not understanding what had happened.

"Isn't that the famous farewell between husband and wife?" Yani asked jokingly, making Giovanni feel even shyer.

"Who is the husband?!" Giovanni said even more embarrassed, only to hear Yani's laugh in his mind.

"You are the only wife in the relationship," Yani said very calmly. Who would believe that a shy fool like Giovanni could be the husband of the relationship?

Yesterday was concrete proof that Giovanni couldn't afford to be anyone's husband.

Giovanni ignored Yani and went to get dressed, he was going to take advantage that Bishop Darcy had gone out to practice his magic in a practical way in the room.

Little Bao who from beginning to end still slept. He was still digesting Emery's demonic energy. Sleeping would be the best to absorb better, of course, a part of his demonic consciousness was probing Giovanni.

Unfortunately, Bao didn't know that Giovanni wasn't supposed to know advanced magic, so even if Giovanni summoned a dragon, the little dog wouldn't suspect anything.
