And then, it did not take long for us to have feelings towards each other.

The first time our bodies entwined with each other, I could not believe that there was such happiness in this world.

Since it was our first time, both of us were perplexed at the beginning, but the pleasure that was felt later was not comparable.

That time, as she was sleeping in my arms, I swore that in order to protect this person, I did not mind facing any misfortune ahead of me.

Since then, from time to time, Aileen came to see me.

However, because of how she was being treated by His Highness Claude and his surroundings, who were the candidates of His Highness’ right-hand man, she would be driven away quickly and we nearly could not have our time together.

I remembered vividly the anger I had at that time.

Why should Aileen be treated coldly just because she was a commoner?

Why was she not allowed to give a greeting just because she was a commoner?

She was not even allowed to get close.

And she was not allowed to exchange any words.

As she was not forgiven to see him and looked so dejected, why should it be told?

Such a world was wrong.

Then, I seriously thought that I would destroy such a world for Aileen’s sake.

However, it was unnecessary.

With Aileen’s good human nature, she changed the surroundings little by little using her own power,  and now, it was obvious that they tried to respond to it and treated Aileen more kindly.

Every time I saw their interactions, the feelings of happiness and the urge to scream out that Aileen was mine were wriggling at the same time inside me.

And I was aware of the feeling of uneasiness in me when I saw the expression Aileen made when she was staring at His Highness Claude.

It was really disgusting.

Just because I gave him my body, wasn’t he getting ahead of himself and thought that I was his girlfriend?

That expression he made was full of hostility at the time when I was talking with His Highness Claude.

I could not think anything besides he was a fool.

Therefore, it would be risky to get involved with him any more than this.

The more I involved with him, the more he would get jealous and it would be harder to handle it at that point. Just thinking about it was scary and it irritated me.

Moreover, I was currently planning to grasp the next prey.

It would not be good if that muscle idiot disturbed my plan.

“Is there something wrong? Aileen.”

“No, there is nothing. I am just thinking a little!”

“That’s very rare for Aileen to be lost in thought.”

“Ah, I know you are thinking something rude about me just now!”

“I was just stating a fact. Besides, what were you thinking about just now?”
