Chapter 101

If he just moved his head just a little, their lips would touch.

Even in that overwhelmingly narrow space, Rixus’ eyes were dry,

Yuria, who was the only one spreading fiery red heat… She felt very immoral.

“….…”

As if looking down at an object, his relentless gaze rose red and reached the woman who had no intention of hiding the pounding of her heart.

Rixus quietly recalled Ires’s voice.

“Your eyes will almost turn upside down. Yes, to the other person.”

“It’s said that one would fall madly in love with the owner of the blood, causing one’s body to boil and eventually to lust.”

His love for her could not be crafted. So, what were the options left for him?

“…We’re going to get caught.”

Yuria murmured innocently like a child who just went on a picnic.

She spoke, of course, that she was concerned, but there was no sign of that on her face.

Her pale blue eyes looked more excited than ever.

A man who never looked at her so far in her life…

The thought that that cold and relentless man desired her made Yuria elated.

Her original goal of ‘repaying the favor’ was completely blown away, and the raw instinct—

—Only a woman’s desire for the man in front of her remained.

‘…His Highness the Crown Prince.’

No, this guy… 

‘Rixus, you will never refuse me now.’

As she recalled that premise, a feeling of rapture pierced her whole body.

She wondered. How far did he want her?

What could she do to this man? He would accept whatever she did.

She had to do something to check it.

However, Yuria was too inexperienced to have such courage.

She didn’t have the courage to do anything because there was such a sturdy chest in front of her that could hide her without a trace.

In the end, Yuria carefully pulled out one of the buttons on his shirt with a trembling hand.

It was a seduction of her own.

“….…”

Rixus’ gaze fell on her.

Yuria felt her heart being thrown to the floor. Suddenly, her body tingled and her mouth became clammy.

“Your Highness… where did he go?”

Ires could be heard calling from a distance.

At that moment, Rixus’ fingers touched the bare skin of her back that was exposed by her dress and went up, as if mockingly.

“!”

Yuria’s delicate eyebrows trembled at the same time a sense of euphoria grew.

Her innocent body easily collapsed even at the slightest teasing, and she exhaled a soft breath, “Hah…” 

Yuria finally revealed her burning red desire, wrapping her snake-like thin arms around his firm neck.

Then she boldly pulled up her skirt, raising her slender, white legs, and rubbing them against his thighs.

Her soft body drew closer to Rixus.

Badump, badump.

Yuria’s heart was beating like crazy, and she was so exhilarated that her eyes were blurred with ecstasy.

Right then, thud!

She heard the sound of Ires closing the door and leaving.

“Ah…”

As soon as Rixus’ hand was removed, Yuria looked up at him with a long, pulseless breath.

He had a cold face that hadn’t changed a bit.

Unlike her, who had just been completely disorganized by a touch, Rixus was intact, without his collar or an eyebrow wrinkled.

So she became even more impatient.

‘Why doesn’t he actively express himself to her even though he is in love?’

Thinking that this was this man’s way of loving, she felt like she was going to die of dryness.

‘Oh, for the rest of my life, I’ll cling to this man…’

When she had that intuition;

Rixus led her out of the crevice of the wall and let out a low breath.

“If you wait any longer, you’ll be really misunderstood.”

“…You don’t like being entangled with me and getting misunderstood, do you?”

The moment she asked, she regretted it. She thought she was acting like a woman with low self-esteem. Even though now he loved her.

But Rixus raised his lips and whispered something in her ear.

“!”

Then, leaving her behind, he leisurely left his personal armament.

Yuria gazed at his back, with her face burning hot in surprise.

‘What I just heard, did I hear it right…?’

In her whole life…

She had never heard something so immoral and unscrupulous.

Thus, she couldn’t hide her crazy excitement. She burst into laughter. She felt like she had the whole world.

Yuria didn’t know the hell that was there before her eyes.

Kalen’s suicide attempt completely shattered Pamela’s heart.

After waking up from a life-threatening condition, Kalen kept repeating one thing.

“Life without Deborah, I’d rather die.”

Even though Pamela knew it was simply a ‘show’… In the end, she was so heartbroken that she had no choice but to meet Deborah.

She was afraid that Deborah was really going to kill her son.

In front of Pamela’s eyes that were full of hatred and hostility, Deborah said with a triumphant smile.

“Good thought, Madam Pamela.”

“….…”

Pamela ran up to Deborah and nearly strangled her.

“Are you ready to accept me as your family?”

Deborah wanted to laugh out loud, she was completely teeming with joy inside, but she managed to lower the corners of her lips.

Pamela was not an easy opponent.

She shouldn’t provoke her now that her heart was broken.

Instead, it was much better to use conciliatory measures.

Deborah was good at crushing, frustrating and deceiving people.

“I have a suggestion for you, Pamela.”

“….…”

Pamela had been holding her teacup since before, and her dead eyes kept her silence.

It seemed that none of the suggestions would work.

But… In the next moment, Deborah’s words opened her ears.

“I’ll give you the position of ‘Godparent’.”

“!”

Pamela opened her eyes wide and looked at her.

‘There’s nothing you can do about it.’

Deborah raised the corners of her lips, feeling that she was right.

“Now that we’re family, I’ll be honest. I’m going to have an ‘appointment’ soon.”

Pamela’s eyes shook.

“Not only that, but there will also be a portion of the ‘Terra Mine’ mining rights.”

“?!”

“I can’t tell you in detail as to how or why. But… Pamela, my ‘good friend’, can’t you guess?”

Pamela looked at Deborah with her strange expression on her face.

‘If it were you, you would have already noticed to some extent.’

She wouldn’t know the details though.

The eyes of Pamela’s eyes as she looked at Deborah changed. It had the color of desire like her own, and it was black.

Perhaps, as family, or as people with a common goal, the two might fit together.

“I will give you the place of ‘Godparent’, and I will also leave ‘1/100 of the mining rights of Terra Mine’ to the Caruso family.”

“….…”

“The dazzling revival of the Marquis of ‘Caruso’ will begin. No one can ever again ignore you in society.”

“….…”

“My husband, Kalen, too…!”

Even though it was unreasonable, Pamela made Kalen inherit the marquis early.

Applied five times even though she was repeatedly rejected.

The two intersected with Pamela’s most pressing desire, and Deborah was catching exactly what she wanted.

‘Can you say no?’

Besides, she even saw her son’s suicide attempt.

“….…”

After a moment of silence, Pamela opened her mouth as she fiddled with her teacup with a face colder than ever.

What Pamela said was also as Deborah expected, but…

Something was completely unexpected.

“I will accept the offer.”

The corners of Deborah’s lips twitched and rose with joy.

“But Deborah, you know that every ploy runs the risk of failure.”

“…….”

“If you fail, don’t step in front of ‘Caruso’ again.”

Pamela was just one span more meticulous and prepared than Deborah had thought.

She ordered the attendant to bring ‘that’ magic scroll.

The bright white scroll was the ‘Book of Oblivion’.

“!”

‘From Kalen’s memory… Are you going to erase it?!’

Pamela meant to wipe Deborah out of Kalen’s life, into a complete blank slate.

The ‘Book of Oblivion’ had the property of being automatically activated when certain conditions were met after receiving the consent of the person corresponding to the memory.

If Deborah agreed and signed a contract with Pamela, she could be gone forever from Kalen’s memory.

“You know what this is?”

Pamela asked calmly.

‘…I know very well.’

Deborah answered inwardly and bit her lips.

In the past, it was something she had used together with Pamela to destroy other nobles.

‘But giving it to me… How dare she.’ 

A fire ignited inside Deborah. She asked, licking the inside of her cheek.

“What are you going to do if I don’t agree?”

“I’m thinking of paying an assassin and commissioning him to kill you, Deborah.”

Pamela answered without hesitation — ‘I’m thinking of making your murder request’, in front of the person concerned.

Deborah’s whole body was covered with goosebumps at the look in Pamela’s eyes that were as if her personality was wiped out.

‘If even Kalen forgets me, I will fall off a cliff.’

If Deborah lost even the Caruso family, there was really nothing left.

However… She decided to believe in herself. She was truly confident in her scheme.

“Okay, Pamela.”

Willingly, Deborah placed her hand on the Book of Oblivion.

Seeing the flickering light, she felt her heart freeze.

Whether the end of this contract would be her resurrection or her death… Only the future knew.

‘Ah, what should I do?’

I ran frantically to ask where Rixus was, and I witnessed him going out of his private practice space.

But strangely, I couldn’t pretend I knew.

Should I say it was a hunch about love?

Soon after, I saw Yuria going out with her face flushed and with a shy smile.

In a moment of shock, I forgot to breathe, my eyes wide.

‘You already drank it! You drank it!’

It was a secret date, just the two of them in a private space.

I should have been jealous, but I felt so sorry for Rixus.

Eventually, I followed him secretly and called him after a while.

“Rixus…!”

Rixus looked back at me.

Then, soon, there was a soft smile all over his face. His eyes were sweet enough to make my stomach flutter.

“Berylia.”

‘He’s just met his lover, so he’s excited.’

It was too pitiful. He took such drugs without knowing it, and now he had such uncontrollable feelings…

I wrapped my hands around the cheeks of Rixus affectionately, who quickly approached me.

I whispered with a heart full of regret.

“Poor man…”

“?”

Rixus raised his eyebrows slightly, seemingly clueless.

‘Since he doesn’t know what I know, he has that kind of expression.’

I bit my lower lip sadly and spoke to him.

No matter how fascinated he was due to the potion, we got to pull it together.

“After sleeping for two more nights… It’ll be the wedding.”

At that moment, Rixus wrapped an arm around my waist and held me tightly to his chest, and he lowered his head.

Then he rubbed his sharp nose against the nape of my neck, like a gentle puppy.

“Sleep well for these two nights, Queen.”

“……Why?”

He inhaled the woman’s body scent and twisted his lips.

“Because on the third night, I’m going to bother you so much that you won’t sleep.”

‘Puppy, cancel.’

It was a naughty dog.

“….…”

I put on an ambiguous expression on my warm face.

‘Strange.’

Was I the one who took the potion?

‘Why does it seem like Rixus is the same…?’
