Chapter 56

Lumiere was biting her nails with her teeth, revealing her impatience.

After being banished from the residence of the Duke of Esteban, she was waiting in the carriage for the Second Prince to come out.

“Why else is the High Priest there?”

There were too many big names around.

Eventually, the Second Prince came, and the carriage door opened. The Second Prince, Peloit, frowned as he looked at the woman in his carriage.

“Why are you doing this here?”

“Didn’t you say I would be able to go in with Your Highness?”

“There are a lot of things you want in that outfit.”

Peloit blatantly scanned Lumiere’s body.

At that, she couldn’t help but receive his gaze on her. Lumiere shivered at the sensation of a snake crawling on her body.

He was not the kind of person she could lead at will, like Revos.

Peloit, with his white blonde hair like Revos, and a side-to-side resemblance. However, the vertical cuts around the eyes and the sharp, raised eyebrows made him look fierce.

The word ‘raw beast’ was a perfect fit.

Of course, raising the corners of his lips makes him softer when he smiles, but since she knows the real Peloit, it gives her a terrifying, eerie feeling.

Lumiere looked at him and asked.

“What do you plan to do next?”

“I’ll leave it alone, because someone’s been on the lookout.”

Hearing his answer, she countered it with a face of resentment.

“…If it wasn’t for that cat!”

“You’re tired. Go back, Lady.”

“The promise you made to help our family…”

Lumiere was unable to finish her slurred words and muttered.

“Well. A deal is a give and take. I haven’t received anything, have I?”

Saying so, Peloit lifted his body up and placed his hand on her back. The other hand tumbled Lumiere’s hair behind her ear and ran slowly down to the nape of her neck.

Lumiere’s body trembled.

“You don’t have to be so afraid. Lady is not my taste. Go back today.”

Hearing the low laughter, Lumiere frowned and got up.

Peloit added a word with a voice saying, “Ah, yes.”

“Don’t be impatient for a while. I won’t forgive you next time.”

In the end, she bowed her head, greeted, and headed for her carriage.

The driver closed the door and started the carriage. Peloit leaned loosely on the carriage and fell into thought.

At the wedding, he thought he might see the cat Elysia had with her, but he didn’t.

He recalled the image of Elysia he had seen at the wedding.

When she remembered her seductively smiling smile in the pure white wedding dress, a feeling similar to ecstasy flashed. She was incomparably more beautiful than she was seven years ago.

He wanted to kiss her blood-red eyes and dye her white wedding dress the same color as them.

As he imagined it, his body trembled at the rush of pleasure.

“…A tomb guardian. Tsk.”

It was annoying. The Duke of Esteban and the beings who stood by her side…

Peloit chewed on the words he had heard from Cassian in the Duke’s mansion. He seemed to be aiming openly at the Marquisate of Blanche now.

“I mean, it’s fun.”

A dark energy flowed around Peloit.

Lady Blanche, that stupid thing. He had to proceed with the work after capturing her, though she moved too hastily and ruined everything.

She dared to put wounds on that body.

If Elysia had attended the reception… If he had encouraged her to dance and crushed the wound… Could he have seen her dyed in his desired color?

“It’s going to be red.”

He didn’t intend to be in a hurry.

In some cases, the timing was delayed because the Emperor woke up earlier than expected. However, he will be in trouble if the priests come out to help the Emperor next time.

Peloit ordered the coachman to turn the carriage to the great temple.

“…Ah!”

“Huu… Elysia.”

Cassian lowered his lips to the tears that flowed down her cheeks.

It was provocative for him, breathing heavily as his white shirt fell halfway down his shoulders. A drop of sweat was forming on the tip of Cassian’s chin, falling down with a rough gesture. At the same time, the table Elysia was holding cracked and cracked.

“Looks like you’re still okay. It’s a relief.”

“Oh no, that’s…”

She still looks full of energy, so that means the night will be long.

Elysia wrinkled her eyes and barely opened her mouth.

“Ca…ssian. Tomorrow… w, we have to leave for the estate, but we’re doing this.”

“Sleep in the carriage.”

“You’re too much… Ahhh—!”

Going to her bedroom, Elysia regretted what she had done. She could have expected it to be like this, but what should she do?

From now on, she vowed to choose the parts carefully when she sucks blood. She can’t even eat as she pleases.

After she talked about the estate, something suddenly came to mind.

“There is a place I want to go… when I arrive at the estate.”

“See if you can afford to think of something else. Who’s going crazy?”

When Cassian added with a sly smile, Elysia’s eyes became fierce. If he keeps provoking her like that, doesn’t it make her want to attack without thinking about the consequences?

With that thought, she raised the corners of her lips as if she had regretted it.

“I wish you could go even more crazy.”

Cassian let out a suppressed moan and raised his eyebrows.

The two eyes were tightly intertwined.

“Because the wife is looking at me so passionately?”

“You’ll have to work harder,” she added, as Elysia snorted with excitement.

Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed him closer, his broad shoulders in front of her. His shirt was rolled up, and it was in the right place to pierce the fangs.

Elysia stood up, her lips wide open, as if to purr.

Cassian smiled lowly and grabbed Elysia’s hair, pulling her. He lowered his head before biting her in the same place as her bloodsucking part.

“….!”

“I want to do more because you keep reacting cutely.”

As Elysia finished sucking and parted her lips, she said disgruntled.

“Don’t touch me while I’m eating.”

“I liked it.”

“It’s a foul to say that. It’s humiliating… Heup—”

Elysia closed her eyes tightly at Cassian’s kiss, which swallowed her breath. Other sounds rang in her ears, but she couldn’t hear anything.

Her hand, which was holding him, squeezed with strength.

“Stop, stop. I no longer…”

“Shhh. It’s okay.”

Saying so, Cassian supported Elysia’s back and hugged her tightly.

Elysia and Cassian were scheduled to depart for Esteban’s estate, so the employees were busy moving in the morning.

A part of the knights had set off early in the morning to inspect each road leading to the territory, and the rest were preparing to escort their carriages.

Lloyd walked between them, grumbling with dissatisfaction.

“No, we have to leave now, so why aren’t they coming?”

Philip smiled kindly next to Lloyd and spoke in a bloody voice.

“The schedule itself to depart in one day doesn’t make sense. Why would His Excellency have skipped the reception and went to Her Excellency.”

“I couldn’t help it. He has a lot of work to do, though what if he doesn’t come out on the second floor?”

Philip clicked his tongue and peered at Lloyd with a pitiful look.

While Lloyd and Philip had a long meaningless battle, Cassian walked to the place where the carriage was waiting.

Philip looked puzzled at Lloyd, who suddenly opened his mouth and asked.

“Is it ready?”

He then turned back to the voice of the Master he served.

There, Cassian was holding a lump of white with a very pleased look on his face.

Looking at it, Philip opened his mouth, thinking that he was carrying a load on the carriage.

“Your Excellency? There was something you missed… Ah…”

“No, it’s a madam.”

Philip shuts his mouth halfway, and Lloyd ends his word.

The silver hair fluttered and protruded from the tip of the curled white mass.

The faces of those around them darkened.

What the hell happened to Madam, yet he is still in his original form…?

The gazes wrapped around Cassian stuck together. Meanwhile, he raised the corners of his lips sullenly, and looked into their eyes, asking what they were doing without opening the door of the carriage.

Bug, who was standing in the back exclaimed, ‘kyaaa’ in admiration, lowered his eyes to the fierce eyes of Cassian and Ryan.

“If my wife wakes up, I won’t finish it with a hit and run in the training ground, Bug.”

“You will wake up Lady Elysia. Please shut your mouth.”

Bug nodded his head vigorously and hid behind Lloyd. He was twice the size, so there was no way to hide it.

Ryan opened the carriage door and spoke to Cassian in a quiet voice.

“I’ll finish the job and follow up.”

“Let’s talk for a moment.”

Cassian laid Elysia down in the carriage and got off the carriage.

Ryan quietly closed the carriage door and walked a little further away, followed by Cassian. At a distance from the carriage, Ryan stopped and turned towards him.

“I think it would be better to have a little more time.”

“I don’t really like dragging.”

“I don’t think you enjoy hunting.”

“That’s right.”

Cassian stared at Ryan, though he just shrugged his shoulders.

Moments later, Cassian unbuttoned his shirt and opened his mouth. “You mustn’t kill them yet. I know the Sir’s feelings, but it’s dangerous right now.”

“You don’t believe me?”

“There’s no way. You’ll be surprised how much I trust Sir.”

Then, he raised his eyebrows and added, ‘Do you want me to tell you?’

At that, Ryan smirked and rubbed his forearm with his hand.

“I hope you will trust my judgment this time.”

It was just saying, let’s go to the territory together.

Ryan grunted and made a troubled face. As if Cassian didn’t want to give him any more time to ponder, he moved closer to Ryan and bowed his head in her ear.

“I will let the Sir finish one of the two. I’m that satisfied.”

“I was planning on doing both.”

“You’re greedy.”

“I’m not going to do it halfway.”

Cassian raised her eyebrows and raised the corners of her lips.

Bug, watching their mysterious conversation in front of the carriage, winked at Lloyd to know what’s going on.

However, Lloyd shook his head resolutely, saying he didn’t know, so Bug squeaked and peered at his master again.

The face of the Master, who unbuttoned his shirt with a drowsy look and whispered something in Ryan’s ear, gave off a dangerous atmosphere. Even though Ryan wasn’t really small, he looked relatively small as he was next to his master.

When Cassian raised his head again, Ryan frowned and said something.

Bug questioned Lloyd, puzzled by the scene where he was arguing.

“Did the two get along like that in the first place?”

“Sir, do you see them as good friends?”

Bug nodded his head.

Meanwhile, Cassian whispered in Ryan’s ear again. Moments later, Ryan blushed and covered his mouth with the back of his hand, and stepped back.

The way Cassian looked at Ryan like he was quite cute.

“No way… His Excellency has a crush on Sir Ryan…”

Lloyd wrinkled his face and opened his mouth, shaking his body.

“Sir. How much blood and sweat will I shed to silence the rumor that he was in sodomy. How dare you say such words…!”

“Wow. Calm down. I just said it because it suits them…”

“What are you talking about! Watch your mouth!”

“No, what… I get it.”

Bug scratched his head.
