Chapter 85

“…Another reason?”

Was there any other reason?

Livia and Azela, who were listening, gazed at him with eyes full of wonder. Zagnac turned his head to look at Azela, who was standing behind her, asking with a look if she would like to join in with this entertainment. Following his gaze, Livia also turned to her.

Azela tilted her head at his sudden gaze.

“It’s easy to say I’m not interested in women.”

“I don’t understand what you mean.”

“I don’t have time to pay attention to other women.”

Then, he reached out his hand and clasped Azela’s hand that was standing there. At that, she couldn’t hide her absurd expression as he suddenly grabbed her hand. She didn’t understand what was going on.

Zagnac smiled broadly as if he had waited for her bewildered expression.

“Because I am only interested in this woman.”

“….!”

She widened her eyes.

For a moment, a grim expression appeared on Azela’s face. This was not the truth. Perhaps he was just using her to get rid of Princess Livia. Azela smiled bitterly at that appearance, which she knew of, and got thrilled for a moment.

“…Miss Vellista denied that she was in a relationship with you.”

Livia let out an absurd smirk and set the teacup down with trembling hands. Far from calming down, her hands were trembling even more than before.

“Are you trying to deceive me?”

“No way.”

“Don’t even try to lie. I have confirmed it with Miss Vellista already.”

“It’s not a lie. As the Princess said, she and I are not lovers.”

He shrugged his shoulders, spoke in an exaggerated voice as if he was doing a play, and lifted his body up.

Livia bit her pale lower lip hard.

Zagnac, with light footsteps, walked over to Azela’s side. He then reached out and pulled her waist, who was still stiff, into his arms.

Surprised by her sudden contact with him, Azela fell into his arms without a word to say. Zagnac grabbed Azela’s chin and gently lifted her head. The purple eyes behind the long lashes were staring at her with interest.

Somehow, it seemed that there was a dangerous feeling of obsession in his eyes.

“I…”

As Zagnac sweetly opened his mouth, Azela instinctively shifted her gaze to his red lips. For some reason, her face was burning red.

“I am courting her passionately.”

“…You’re telling me lies like before, Duke Ferial.”

Livia’s cold voice reached Azela’s ears.

Yes, the lie had already been found out because shehads confided to Livia that she likes Duke Ferial. Azela looked at Zagnac and shook her head slightly, saying this was wrong. However, when he saw it, he did not stop.

“Is that a lie? It is not a lie that I am courting her passionately, Princess.”

Livia, who was about to refute Zagnac’s words again, bit her lips firmly. She was going to ask, ‘Then why don’t you be lovers, even though you like each other?’ but she remembered that Azela, who had confided to her that she liked Zagnac, had asked her to keep it a secret.

“…Show me the evidence.”

“Evidence?”

“Evidence that you are passionately courting Miss Vellista.”

“I went down to the outskirts to do business with her, and took her and put her by my side in the name of an escort knight like this, and you still need evidence?”

Zagnac pulled Azela with force and gave a slow smile. Livia still looked cold.

‘So, this is not going to work!’

Holding back the desire to scream, Azela pulled his clothes.

“Yes. It means that the Princess cannot comprehend that.”

Zagnac turned his head to look at her. His red lips drew a half-moon curve dangerously.

“Then, I will show you the evidence as you wish.”

Lowering his head over Azela’s lips, she was bewildered as he suddenly came for her lips. Even though she pushed his chest, instead of getting pushed away, he came closer to her again. His tongue ran across Azela’s mouth, and the dense kisses continued.

‘Livia was watching, so he had to push him,’ it was a thought in her head, but for some reason, her pushing hand was getting weaker. Although she thought she should keep her lips shut, on the other hand, her tongue was entangled together with his.

Zagnac’s hot hand gently stroked her side.

“Uh!”

The Princess jumped up from the sofa she was sitting on as the unbearable moan spread when his hand brushed her side. Zagnac looked coldly at Livia as he locked Azela in his arms, giving her a look to not disturb them anymore.

Livia, seeing Azela completely hidden in his arm, hurriedly ran out of the parlor with her trembling body.

‘What, what is this…!’

Leaving the parlor, she ran down the hallway, leaving the mansion without a moment to preserve her dignity, and climbed into the carriage that was ready to go.

Her face flushed red. She gave the order to the coachman to leave, and only after the carriage drove through the mansion that she was able to calm her flushed face. She could not forget Zagnac’s gaze, who was looking at her coldly, telling her not to disturb him.

“…I don’t want to disturb you either.”

She mumbled softly so that only she could hear it before grabbing her face with trembling hands.

Azela’s sweet gaze at him and Zagnac’s greedy gaze at her came to mind. There was no room for her to intervene between the two… Despite this, because of her situation in which she had no other choice, it was sad enough to make her cry.

“It’s okay, I didn’t see it… Pretend you haven’t seen it.”

Livia breathed heavily as she calmed herself down.

…Right. Yes, after all, after getting married, she would not pay any attention to a mistress or even if he bought a woman, so let’s look at it that way. That was how it would work… She only needed to marry him.

Livia glanced out of the window.

* * *

The sound of Livia’s footsteps running out could be heard in Azela’s ears. She must have run away, but that didn’t stop Zagnac’s actions. Far from stopping, he pushed Azela harder and pressed his swollen bottom to her thighs.

“St, stop… Th-the Princess is gone.”

“I know.”

Even though she barely shrugged him off, he covered her mouth with his lips again.

The merciless pouring kisses distracted her. Azela’s lips opened, and the saliva, not knowing whose it was, drooped. Zagnac did not stop there. He then lowered his wet lips and taunted his mischievous tongue against her collarbone.

“But, you still don’t know if she looked or not.”

Even though she wasn’t a voyeur and there was no way she could, Azela thought for a moment, ‘Oh, that’s right.’

…No, she didn’t know that maybe she was hoping that he wouldn’t stop, too.

His towering lower body was stabbing into her thighs. Maybe, that was why she kept twisting her whole body at the strange feeling.

“…I thought you would kick her out, but I didn’t know you would put your dress on the Princess.”

Zagnac said as he moved swiftly, undoing the knight suit that Azela was wearing. He seemed to be talking about what had happened earlier.

Should she have done that?

However…

“She looks so sad…”

As soon as Azela finished speaking, her top fell to the floor.

Embarrassed to see her stripped naked under the bright chandelier, Azela hurriedly covered her upper body with her hands. However, Zagnac wouldn’t even allow it as he grabbed both of her wrists and lifted them high.

The plump breasts shone brighter under the bright light.

“You think too much about others.”

Then, he leaned over and buried his lips in her bulging breasts. Gathering the tip of his tongue, he tightened on her chest and sucked it hard.

“Hahng…!”

With the indescribable pleasure, Azela tilted her head back, crossed her thighs, and let out a loud moan that she had been holding back. Her groan echoed through the spacious parlor.

“You’re my escort knight, so you should only think of me.”
