87 Chapter 87 - Kissing Rihane Valhale

Zeph's POV

"Oh my, Thalia's brother is a Demon."

I noticed Rihane, who seemed to be looking at me with shock.

I can't let this girl open her mouth in front of others about Alexios, as he could be one of my allies, and due to his weakness in my hands, I just need a little push.

I swiftly held her wrist and pulled her out of this place, and found a tree.

I threw her before taking her chin in my hands, looked at her intensely as I remembered an old saying from my previous world — If you want to make someone forget something shocking, then just give them a bigger one instead.

'Bon appétit,' I swiftly joined my lips to hers. There can't be a better way to silence this girl, who goes around spreading news like some reporter, than sealing her lips.

'!?'

'Umm...What's with her taste? Is this some perk of being a Dariant?'

I just wanted to give a smooch, but this taste... it's like sweet honey with mild taste of peaches.

"Slurp...Umm..."

I lost my senses while kissing, unaware of her reaction.

I couldn't help but think about her lips that were soft, almost silken, and pillowy against my own.

I could even feel the soft tickle of her breath beneath my nose.

"Mmmmfffhhh, haaa...haaa...Now, don't open your mouth or I will."

I pulled back slightly, a glistening strand of saliva forming between us, her lips moist, mirroring my own.

Her wet eyes looked towards me as if she was about to cry, before she clenched her dress and looked downward.

'Don't tell me, that saying doesn't have to be applied here'

'If she cried and I got caught like this, then...' No, calm down Zeph, think. You have to find a way to come out of this situation, but...

GULP

I couldn't help but look at her lips.

It was the first time I ever felt such a sweet taste.

Normally, in my previous life, the taste was like strawberry and something artificial due to lipsticks, but hers...

'Guess I'm going to become addicted.'

"Listen to me, Rihane, Your brother's life is in danger," I said, and as I spoke, her tear-filled eyes swiftly looked towards me as she held my shoulders.

"How? Tell me!"

'What a save, Zeph.' Naturally, I would have saved her brother, not out of sympathy, but because of the soul that would take over his body.

"But you have to listen to me,"

Smack

"Ouch, why?"

He hit me again, it hurts.

He is such a bully.

"I am not some pervert, you dummy"

'What?' Oh hello, only an idiot would believe that.

"I mean, yes, I am, but whatever, hear me carefully, Rihane..."

I heard his words, and my eyes widened.

'No, it can't be. How can our uncle betray us?'

I looked towards Zeph and knew he was telling the truth. 'I have to meet my brother now.'

...

After some time, both Rihena and Zeph came back,

Two siblings with the same features standing beside each other, folding their hands looked towards them.

Zeph noticed the expressions of Alexios and Thalia,' did I get caught'.

'I can at least handle Thalia,' He was sure about handling Thalia, but about Alexios, 'I don't need the approval of that siscon.'

"Oh, brother-in-la—"

'?!'

Before Zeph could complete his words, Alexios hugged him and, pulling him away from his shoulders, said, "I know my sister may be slightly different and even in a league above anyone who might think they're in her league. But still, I hope you care about her after you both get married."

Zeph's mouth twitched upon hearing Alexios remark as he saw him clearing his non-existent tears.

'Want to play with words, aren't you, you damn bastard?'

Zeph moved towards Thalia, leaning in and gently wrapping his hands around her neck, all while casting a sly look at Alexios, as if to say — Why should I dirty my hands when I can just push the 'Nuke' button?.

"Oh, it's truly touching how much you worry about us. We'll be sure to consult you for relationship advice regularly. After all, who knows your sister better than you do?"

Before Alexios could say something, Thalia spoke, "Zeph, Alexios has never been in a relationship before, so how could he give us any suggestions? He was not even here , so he doesn't know much about me."

COUGH

Alexios couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart upon hearing his sister's words.

"Thalia, you are hurting me."

Thalia stood as Zeph snuggled in her hair before suggesting, "Apologize to him, Thalia. He is your brother, after all."

Hearing this, Thalia, without looking at Alexios, spoke, "Sorry for the mean, awful, and accurate things I said."
