Chapter 571: DRUNKEN STUPOR
"No, no! I'm not going!"
Ironin didn't heed her words. But then, he was startled when she dropped to the ground and hugged his thigh. He never faced her challenging behavior before. If it were someone else, he would kick them out or cut their throats. He couldn't do that to her.
"Let go," he calmly said.
"I'm going nowhere!" Veronica was stubborn. She wouldn't let go.
Ironin let out a sigh. He never felt so helpless before. He leaned and grabbed her both arms. He gently pulled her. "Get up."
"No!"
"Please."
"No! No!"
"I'm begging you."
His voice was gentle each time he urged her to stand up. There was a sense of feebleness in his tone.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
He was a person with a strong personality. He never begged anyone for anything. He was never unreasonable. Thus, whatever he asked for, he got it. People never personally messed up with him. Those who did, he shot them dead.
However, it was different tonight. He wasn't being unreasonable. The person who was hugging his thigh was. And, he couldn't shoot an arrow at her.
He took a deep breath. Afterward, he grabbed her arms and strongly pulled her up. As he lifted her, her body shook.
She wasn't prepared to stand up right away. As a result, her balance was off and she fell forward.
"If you think of sleeping with me without my consent, I'll scream! I just wanted to kiss you. I don't want to sleep with you. Who would sleep with a rough man? No one likes a rough man! Women like gentlemen! Gentlemen!"
Ironin's ears burned. He never felt so humiliated in his life. His ears were burning. He could see a few watchful eyes throwing daggers at him but no one came to stop him.
He unlocked the door and opened it. It was Veronica's room. He gently put her on the bed. He thought she would struggle to get away from him.
But to his surprise, she grabbed his collar and pulled him into bed. Within a second, their position changed. She was sitting on top of him.
Surprise after surprise made him speechless. He didn't know a graceful lady he had known for quite some time could turn into something completely different after getting drunk. Veronica smirked as she looked down at him. "Did you think you could do anything you want because you are more powerful? You are wrong. Don't think too highly of yourself." Then, she paused and looked at him properly. She smirked and changed his tone while saying, "Pretty boy, you seem very family. Do I know you?"
Her question made his heart skip a beat. "You... you don't," Ironin said in a gentle voice. "And you never will."
Right after he finished answering her question, he hit the corner of her neck. Her body dropped on top of him. He carefully grabbed her and put her in bed. After covering her with the blanket, he left her there. He dragged his feet to his bed.
He took deep breaths to calm his heart. Her words and actions scared him out of his wits. Somehow, her actions reminded him of something. It drifted him back in the past. He felt
depressed.
He closed his eyes and tried to remember the past. The same images continued to play in his head as though he didn't want to come back to reality. Slowly, he fell asleep.
While they were busy with themselves, Felix searched the entire village for them. Then, he came back to the inn only to see both of them were asleep.
Felix woke up Ironin. "Why are you sleeping? We are supposed to leave at midnight."
"Let's rest before we go." Ironin sounded tired. He closed his eyes again.
Felix was speechless. He didn't know what could have happened for the two of them getting
so tired after resting a whole day. Especially Ironin, he was acting a bit differently.
