Chapter 167

Forgiveness (10)

“What do you think? I did a good job, right?”

As always, he appeared through the window and told her while feeling the wind. It became a set date and took advantage of Arthur’s absence.

Still, she wasn’t happy to meet him.

Except for what he sometimes does even though she didn’t order it. Nox magically created rain when the people said it was hard because it wasn’t raining, perhaps because his work suited him.

Not enough, but she heard cheers everywhere, saying that God bless her. It wasn’t just that.

‘He even pretended to be sent from the Empire to fill his own self-interest in other kingdoms.’

Because of that, she doesn’t know how hard it was to correct the upset. It was not a blessing from God, but he pretended to be a rookie to secretly eat a soul by fascinating a woman, causing a pseudo-wind.

As expected, he had an impure intention to imitate God.

What’s the point of regretting now? Thanks to this, she should have revised the contract more, but she was still angry when she thought about it.

“If you do something useless again!”

“Breaking the contract?”

“It’s my fault to ask such a favor to the devil.”

Now, the contract has been adjusted so that it cannot be used in detail. It’s been quiet since then, but when she saw that sly smile…….

“Yeah, it was good that you didn’t do anything.”

“Arthur will be angry when he sees me appearing like this, right?”

“If you know, do it quickly and disappear.”

After several times, she got used to the pain. Nox pouted his lips to see if he liked her, who got used to it.

“Do you know?”

“What else are you going to say?”

Nox did not give in to her harsh reaction.

“I’m lonely.”

“… What?”

She asked again, wondering if she heard it wrong.

“I’m lonely.”

“You’ve finally gone crazy. I can’t believe you’re saying you’re lonely. The demons under you will love it if they know.”

“Hmm, you made it like this.”

He might think she’s fine with it, except for the occasional flirting with her. He was still the same.

“Find the right woman for you. Never in our empire.”

“That’s too bad.”

“No way. Never.”

Nox disappeared after leaving only his firm words to wait and see.

Somehow, her spine was cool.

***

She didn’t have time to see Arthur because she was busy for a few days. Eventually, he couldn’t stand it, so he sneaked into her room so he could see her face in a week.

‘He’s been doing pretty things these days.’

It wasn’t light, but it was comfortable to take off if he was going to sleep in her room. She tried to clear her voice by lowering the corners of her rising mouth.

“Arthur, did you finish everything you were doing? If there is a reason for the disqualification of the Empress.”

Suddenly, she remembered what he had done.

“If you’re talking about business, I’ve already been engaged to you and I’ve organized things one by one.”

“When did you do that without saying a word……”

Arthur was a villain here. The business he did couldn’t have been right.

When she used the business he had done in the Imperial Palace to deal with those who were against her, she knew everything he had been doing.

It was fortunate for her that he organized it on his own.

“That’s good. The nobles will give you one thing to bet on and fall on.”

Did Arthur think about what would happen?

He smiled and laughed at the gaze he stared at as if asking for a compliment. Arthur kissed the back of her hand and waited for her, perhaps knowing the meaning of her laughter.

His eyes shone in the dark as they did the first time. It wasn’t bad to see him like a beast waiting for food after a long time.

“If I hadn’t reached out my hand first that time.”

The eyes staring at her gently fell down. Arthur spoke out as if he were continuing her words.

“We wouldn’t have faced each other like this.”

“Do you mind if you lose everything you have?”

If he comes by her side, he has to live for her. The position of the Grand Duke disappears and he becomes the Empress of a country.

He has lived to win the heart of Mary. But, if she thought about it, isn’t it too sad?

“It doesn’t matter. Because I’ve only hoped for what’s next to me after winning your heart.”

Arthur’s soft voice tickled her ears. He covered her eyes and kissed as if not to think about anything else.

She felt the body temperature intact. When she closed her eyes and left her body to Arthur’s lead, she wrapped his back and pulled his hair back.

She feels this every time she kisses him…….

“You’re so good.”

He was exceptionally skilled today to move on smoothly to the next action in this situation. She got grumpy and bit Arthur’s lips.

“Ugh!”

Getting up from her seat and going to bed, she looked at Arthur and nodded.

“It was good because you were skilled, but now that I think about it, I feel bad.”

“Don’t you think you’ve gotten better at it?”

“Well, how much we…….”

Hearing Arthur’s words, her face became red. It was because everything that Arthur had done so far passed by.

Arthur, who was looking at her like that, kissed her lips once more and left the room. Leaving her as it is, her whole body was heating up and she fanned herself in the heat.
