“What?”

“Can I kiss you?”

“Uh, uh…”

I shrugged at Valérez’s uncharacteristically shy manner. I didn’t know why he blushed when he was kissed, but it didn’t matter because his incompetence was kind of cute too.

I raised my heels to give him a deep kiss, but his lips only twitched and seldomly moved his tongue.

‘What’s wrong? It’s like he’s never kissed before.’

However, even without any techniques, the texture of his lips themselves were incredibly soft, and the size of the hard object poking below his stomach was unusual, so I was full of heat.

Beyond clothes, I could feel his bottom getting bigger and bigger. The outline of a naked man made my mouth water. It wasn’t even inside me yet, but I could feel my legs losing strength, so I pushed my thighs harder on him.

I lowered one hand and I slowly rubbed his manhood. Perhaps I had been too bold, and his body trembled as it touched mine.

“Yes.”

I didn’t stop caressing Valérez even as I sensed his awkwardness. His chin lifted at my touch, which was getting a bit faster little by little. His adam’s apple trembled greatly.

‘Wow…’

The line from his jaw to the collarbone was so sexy that I couldn’t help but admire it. Even though slut boy was definitely an unpopular keyword, I could see why he was loved by players.

CHU

Instinctively kissing along his jawline, I soon lightly sucked Valérez’s stiff lower lip.

“!”

His eyes, wandering aimlessly without knowing where to look, turned to my face. The moment our eyes met; his pupils dilated as if in surprise. He seemed like a grown lion a while ago, but I could only laugh inwardly because he seemed to have become a small prey at the moment.

“Why are you laughing, lady?”

“Because your expression is cute.”

His face hardened as if he didn’t like my answer.

“…that’s enough. I think I’ve the lady enough.”

I frowned at Valérez’s words. I can’t believe he was already scolding me enough. Who was scolding who?

“What?”

“Get out of the way.”

His manhood swelled like it was about to burst, but Valérez pushed me away. His voice was suppressed, as if he was keeping something.

“Why?”

He glanced at my puzzled face, turning away as if he was trying to get away from me.

“Don’t you want to sleep with me?”

He brought me to the hotel suite where he was staying. He can’t force a person who didn’t want to do it, but it was a shame.

“You don’t have to stay with me until the morning. Also, I would never ask for the young lord’s name.”

I thought that pretending not to want to know him was the best approach to seduce Valérez. He was hiding the fact that he belonged to a duke’s family for some reason, and he was infuriated by people that asked his identity.

‘It’s a contradiction that we had to find out who he was in order to clear him in the game…’

That was one of the reasons I didn’t target him when I was playing the original game. It was so cumbersome to find out who he was in person.

According to the guidebook, Valérez would soon succeed as the Duke of Toledo in the second half of the game. Within the low streets of the imperial capital, he was known as ‘Ares’.

No one knew where Ares came from, who ruled the shadow of the empire, and the women who clung to him were always curious about his real identity.

“I know. You already said you weren’t curious about who I was,” he said with a shrug at my light persuasion, and then turned around.

Scanning my body wearing a thin slip up and down, the corners of his lips rose.

“So.”

“What?”

“So, I don’t like it. I don’t like women who aren’t interested in me.”

I read the guidebook, so I already knew who he was, it’s not that I’m not interested!

“And don’t meet with a guy who won’t even stay with you until the morning, young lady.”

“Wait a minute!”

Even if I stomped my feet, saying I’m fully interested, Valérez left the room without a moment to hesitate.

Why is he being hard to get?

‘I thought he’d be an easy character to attack without much effort…!’

I returned to the Marquis’ residence, banging on a pillow full of goose feathers and pouting in defeat.
