Only then did Natalya come out of her reverie and her expression seemed pretty shaken. Not because of the crash but she felt herself be swallowed by sorrow.
She absentmindedly opened the door to her room and entered. After that, things seemingly became dark as she closed her eyes, feeling the pain in her heart.
She closed the door and held her mouth, not wanting to alarm anyone as she wept heavily, her breasts heaving from not being able to stop herself from sobbing wearily.
In the past, she had failed to leave a letter because she didn’t know where her grandpa was taking her to from Pavlos City, hence, she had failed to write a letter again.
So she was in the mindset that she would never see Alchemist Scythe again, resorting to making him an eternal memory through her painting skills.
But when she saw him and heard his familiar voice, she couldn’t describe the happiness she felt in her heart! However, she had to suppress it because she noticed the anomaly because Alchemist Scythe always wanted to maintain his secrecy for unknown reasons.
When she learned his supposedly true name, she wanted to endearingly call him Davis! However, she had to suppress it because she had to act like she didn’t know him!
When she learned that he got married, her heart plunged into a cold abyss! However, she couldn’t let out a hint of being heartbroken because she had to suppress her cries!
Only sounds of muffled cries echoed in the isolated room, making her wanting to even kill herself as she couldn’t take the pain gnawing her heart.
======
A few hours passed and it finally became night.
Since this was Natalya’s family, it became a little complex, and Davis felt that he had to reconsider his hostile intent against Agis Stirlander.
Of course, if Agis Stirlander insisted that he becomes his enemy by needlessly searching for the Conferred Queen’s origin, then he had no choice but to silence him.
The earlier event also made the Stirlander Family feel as if they were not respectful enough, hence, they urged Esteemed Alchemist Davis to stay for the night to provide hospitality.
Davis felt that he had more to investigate. So he took their offer and stayed for the night.
"Our humble abode only has a family of five, hence, you can take any one of the guest rooms that we’ve prepared..."
Agis Stirlander spoke, so he took the one that was the furthest and settled in the room. The dinner was sent to him with the help of maidservants after which he filled himself up after checking for poison and the likes.
He still didn’t let his guard down.
*Burp~*
Currently, he languidly lay on the bed as it was midnight, thinking about what to do rather than sleeping like a guest.
A few minutes after, he blinked as his lips curved.
"Why don’t you come inside rather than waiting in the chill outside?"
"You!" Davis felt a jolt run through his body when he felt her passionate mellowness!
Even then, he didn’t lose his self as a thought came to his mind.
’Honey Trap!?’
His expression produced a grimace as he instantly imagined that Agis Stirlander has set up a honey trap for him using his own granddaughter rather than using other methods.
But then, he remembered Natalya wasn’t the type to accept being a honey trap as she intensely despised being sexually exploited. He felt that she would choose death rather than being a honey trap.
He couldn’t understand what was happening with this woman anymore!
Nevertheless, he wasn’t flustered. His face became cold, "What are you doing?"
Since Natalya stuck her face to his reliable chest, her tears were staining his robe. She tightly held him, not willing to let him go. When she heard him ask, she subconsciously responded, "I want you!"
"You are mine.... mine..."
Davis widened his eyes, wondering what this woman was spouting.
She seemed to mutter like a spoiler kid but her tone and her actions seemed to convey her feelings that she genuinely wanted him.
In his mind, Natalya wasn’t as daring as this! He remembered that the last time he visited her room without informing her, she had pleaded for him to not take her innocence!
Davis’s expression became complex. He stretched his hand back and captured her arms again. He then easily took her hands off his body and made them gain some space in between.
He looked at her heartbroken expression and coldly uttered, "Do you realize what you’re saying? There is already a woman in my heart."
"You?" Davis narrowed his eyes, "You can only become my second!"
The tone of his voice echoed heavily and cruelly that it rudely awakened Natalya from her tantrum and desperate actions.
His words reverberated in her eardrums as she came to fully understand what he meant and the moment she did, her knees became limp as she fell, feeling the absurdity of her own words.
Simultaneously, her eyes became dull.
"Ta..." She mumbled.
"What?" Davis couldn’t hear her words. His heart rather felt that he should be soft on her as he was in the past, so he couldn’t help but lift her up.
Natalya stood up with his help. She didn’t support her body as she still felt limp. Her dull eyes seemed to find its hope and at the same time, her soft and luscious lips moved.
"Take me..."
