Chapter 115: A battle of Sincerity [unedited]

“Hahahahaa…” I laughed listening to Sigren’s story. I was surprised by his sudden visit at such a late hour, but knowing his reason, I couldn’t help but laugh hearing his situation.

Sigren looked somewhat discouraged. “I knew it….”

I grabbed his hand and waved it. “Ah, why? Are you upset because I laughed?”

Gosh! Our dear prince has received a great seduction and an attempted physical assault!

“That young lady has great courage. Well, our Sigren in the end is indeed an attractive man.”

The eldest daughter of the viscount obviously has a pretty face. But I never thought she would do such a daring thing.

Sigren looked at me bitterly. “Are you having fun?”

I couldn’t help but half roll around the bed while laughing.

“A little. Hiccup!”

Gosh, I think I laughed too much. I even got hiccups. Was this a punishment for enjoying my dear friend’s pain so much?

Sigren gave me a cup of water that was filled with water.

“Thank you, hiccup!”

Even after drinking the water, my hiccup did not calm down.

Eventually, Sigren sat down next to me and pet my back. It felt soothing as the warm temperature of his hand seeped through my thin pajamas. But my hiccup was still ongoing.

I became a little embarrassed as the quiet room now was filled with only the sound of my hiccups.

Sigren sighed slowly and got up from the bed. “This won’t do.”

What? My hiccups?

“I’ll go.”

“Oh, hiccup! Whyyy?”

“Though I’ve predicted that it would be like this, and prepared myself, but as expected, It’s still too much.”

I quickly grabbed his hand. Was he mad at me for laughing? I looked up at Sigren. His face looked dissatisfied. It was an expression that I’ve seen on his face most of the time. It made me think about whether he truly likes me. He says he likes me, but, I don’t know… Well, I said nothing.

“This hiccup, hiccup! Wouldn’t it stop hiccup! If I’m surprised? Hiccup!”

Then I spoke quickly without breathing. “So surprised me!”

“Really?”

I nodded.

Sigren reached out and wrapped his palms around my cheeks. He then gave me a look ‘how could I put this?’.

What? What’s wrong?

He squinted his eyes.

“Fiona.”

“What?”

Sigren’s palm touched my chin and his thumb gently stroked my lips.

I rolled my eyes. Ah? So he surprised me that way? A fresh way of thinking!

“….”

Sigren stroked my cheek and tucked my hair behind my ear as if giving me room to refuse, a sign that if I wanted to refuse, I should say no now.

His touch tickled me.

Eventually, I closed my eyes, and said in a sulk, “Right, it must be hard dragging on something like a kiss while you’re dating—”

Before I finished speaking, I felt a slightly rough yet soft touch on my lips.

Why doesn’t he wait until I’m done talking?

Funny, the hiccup really stopped.

“Mmm…”

Sigren wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. His hands gently stroked my back. As I flinched because of the unexpected movement, he licked my lips as if to appease me. There was a light wine scent from him. My lips were bitten and sucked softly. At first, I was a bit sluggish by that, but then I responded by gently biting his lips back.

“….”

The deeper the kiss, the harder it was for me to breathe. I felt a soft tongue running through my mouth, and it took my breath more.

“Wait.. hmm.:

I wanted to have a break, but his tongue stuck in again. My grievance was swallowed up by his mouth.

Sigren put his hand on my back and slowly put me on my bed. The soft bed touched my back. The rustling of the bedsheet was exceptionally loud. The hem of my pajamas was wrinkled. And the whole time, I grabbed the hem of Sigren’s shirt.

“Fiona.” Sigren called my name softly. He grabbed a handful of my hair that was spread out on the bed and kissed it lightly. Then he smiled while looking at me. It was a smile that was used when a person was determined to steal someone’s soul.

Sigren leaned over and lightly touch the side of my face.

The bed squeaked, making a small noise.

“Haa..”

I barely caught my breath. I looked down for a moment. Then I let go of the shirt that I’d been holding. It was very wrinkled.

When I looked up again, Sigren was still looking at me. There was a faint thirst in his eyes. His gaze run through my lips, hair, and the nape of my neck in turn.

He was like a hawk that soars through the sky and preys on its prey. And I was like a rabbit running round the field.

There was a huge difference between him who was blushing when I touched him, and his appearance at present.

I looked at him annoyed, feeling a little betrayed.

“You said you only wanted a kiss?”

It seemed to me that he was really determined to get my soul out of my body!

He laughed briefly. “Sorry.”

“I’ll bet my ten fingers that you’re not sorry.”

Sigren grabbed my hand and kissed my fingers. He did it softly as if trying to soothe me.

I nudged lightly his lips with my hand. 

Stop! Give me back my cute Sigren!

“If you do more, I will hit you.”

“I can’t hold myself if I would do any more than this, so I won’t do it.”

Sigren supported my waist to help me stand up.

First was lying down, and now standing up. He was really giving me a lot of trouble.

Even though he said he wouldn’t do it anymore with his own mouth, he seemed to be disappointed. He hugged me and then kissed the back of my ear and the exposed nape of my neck.

Every time his lips touched my skin, I flinched at the tickling and unfamiliar feeling.

“My shoulders are cold.”

Sigren pulled my blanket and wrapped it around my body while looking into my eyes.

“I have to go back now.”

I asked while burying myself in the blanket, “What if the young lady is still in your room?”

“No way.”

Sigren tilted his head.

“She won’t be persistent.”

He then banged his forehead into mine lightly.

“Besides, I don’t think it would be good for you to have me here any longer.”

Then I said generously, “You can stay here if you just want to sleep while holding my hands.”
