Chapter 12 

Returning to the mansion, Olivia and Leon talked about each other. During that time in the past, what kind of heart he had. How did he feel when he approached her? Upon hearing his confession, Olivia had to suppress her overwhelming feelings.

Leon’s love lasted longer than expected. However, it was shorter than the woman who fell in love with him as soon as she met him, but his love was much deeper than that of hers.

To protect his fiancée, to obtain an engagement that he thought might not be love, he threw himself into the battlefield and barely returned.

“…Sorry.”

“I didn’t mean to hear you say you’re sorry. You can stop saying you’re sorry.”

Saying so, he patted Olivia’s hair. But, to be sorry is to be sorry. Olivia gathered her courage and buried her face in Leon’s arms.

Then, he patted her on the back.

“I am so sorry.”

“….”

“I thought it was a way to protect you, but in the end, it gave you a hard time.”

“….”

As Kevin reached out to Olivia, she was exposed to the violence and left defenseless. She didn’t want to blame Leon. It was because this was the only way he could protect her. But he was different.

“I couldn’t protect you. Again, I must not leave you alone.”

“….”

“It will never happen again.”

Olivia gave a faint smile. That alone was reassuring to her. Meanwhile, Leon continued his words with a more serious expression.

“So, don’t leave me.”

“Yes…?”

“Didn’t you say you were leaving?”

“….”

“I thought you were going to leave and live alone, and I was told that this place was small and narrow.”

“You were watching me in the Imperial Palace.”

He did not deny it.

Olivia, who saw it, quietly said, “Jane told me that Your Excellency liked me, although I thought it was a lie because you never came to see me…”

Leon frowned at her words.

“Isn’t it strange to say that I didn’t visit you?”

“Did you come to see me…?”

“When we met, I tried to take you back. In fact, even if you didn’t like it, I was going to take you.”

“Your Excellency…”

“You don’t know how much I pictured you.”

“….”

“Because without you, I went crazy.”

In his anger and lust, the morning Leon hugged her like a madman, he saw her collapse from exhaustion.

He remembered last night. The woman he engraved the traces he left on her body and shed sweet moans in his gestures, who struggled with the pleasure while mixing their flesh…

He wanted Olivia so desperately that Leon was satisfied even though the relationship had deteriorated. Isn’t this the only way to hold a woman who has someone else in her heart? Besides, he liked Olivia’s body, too.

He thought, let’s live like that. He already said he himself was crazy. He thought that if he killed Kevin after it was all over, he would marry her and live with her. The ideal relationship like his own parents had long since been abandoned.

Before leaving his mansion, Leon went to her room, hoping to see Olivia’s face once more.

As he saw her weeping, he realized what he had done.

Leon held Olivia. She was forced. He was a duke, and she was in no position to refuse him. He embraced her that way, even though he knew she had no means to deny him, and she was in a position to refuse.

This was the result. Olivia was crying.

He approached and tried to appease her. In doing so, he seemed to be freed from his guilt. Still, seeing her hiding her body and avoiding him, Leon realized how crazy he had been. He left the mansion in despair.

And, that day, she left the mansion.

Leon, not knowing what to do, wandered around looking for her. Eric advised him to wait. He initially thought he would just wait for her, following Eric’s advice. Though it felt as if he would go crazy. Looking at the traces of her left everywhere in the mansion, he decided to bring Olivia back.

Because otherwise, he’d go crazy.

It had long since disappeared from his mind that taking someone under the Emperor’s protection could be a big problem.

Let him take Olivia, let him take her, and let her see only himself.

Leon entered the Imperial Palace and set out to find Olivia. Eric wasn’t really hiding her from him, so it wasn’t long before he was able to find her.

He should have taken her at any moment, but he couldn’t. It was because she was smiling with a bright face. It was the first time he had seen such a carefree smile. If he forced himself to take her, he would never see that smile for the rest of his life.

He would only see Olivia’s expression as she looked at him resentfully with tearful eyes like back then.

“Being here really made me think that it was a small and narrow place. I also felt that this was not the place for me.”

“….”

“I wish I had the courage like this earlier.”

Leon felt his heart sink at Olivia’s words. Seeing her shining her eyes, he finally accepted that she had left him.

This was his punishment.

“So, I just watched you.”

After she heard those words, Olivia stared at him still. After thinking for a long time as to what to do with the misunderstanding stemming from this wonderful coincidence, she opened her mouth.

“Your Excellency…”

“….”

“Aren’t we engaged?”

“Engaged…?”

Leon asked with a blush on his face.

Why was she asking him that? Didn’t he even proudly say that she was his fiance in the Imperial Palace?

“There was a will from the predecessor Duke. Also, Leon and I like each other. We, so…we are engaged.”

“Yes.”

A smile crept across Leon’s lips. Olivia sighed after seeing that and she continued, “Being engaged means that we have promised to get married. We are getting married.”

At her words, he widened his eyes wide and asked.

“Will you marry me?”

“…You weren’t going to marry me?”

Why is this person doing this?

Even though he wanted Olivia so much, Leon was careful about everything that had to do with her. When he proudly said that she was his fiancée in the place where she wasn’t present -actually she was- but why is he reacting like that now?

“Of course, I will.”

“We’re getting married anyway, so why would I leave the mansion? Even if I live away from the mansion, I will have to come back here when we get married. I can’t leave.”

Leon sighed in relief and smiled.

He had an expression of uncontrollable joy. It was so easy to understand, why did she think this person was scary for so long?

Olivia raised herself and kissed him, and he responded to her kiss. His hand caressed her waist. The kiss that was simply rubbing dry lips quickly turned sweet and deep. Their tongues intertwined all the way to the roots, and they scanned each other’s soft flesh.

After the enchanting moment was over, the two met their eyes. Perhaps, because of the afterglow of the kiss, there was still warm energy in their eyes. For some reason, he gave a troubled look and he moved away from her.

“Your Excellency?”

“…Go to your bedroom and sleep.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

Saying that, Olivia noticed what had happened to him.

She blushed her cheeks, then smiled and hugged Leon’s waist as he turned around and walked away. Leon stood tall.

“Are you excited?”

“Olivia. I am…”

“Your Excellency, it’s true, I think it’s true that I can’t live without a man.”

At those words, Leon quickly turned around.

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t think I can live without Your Excellency.”

“….”

“So, actually, I…I was excited.”

“….”

“I want to hold you—Ah!”

Before Olivia could finish speaking, she knew that Leon had lifted her up in his arms.

“Your Excellency!”

“That said, you have to take responsibility.”

She was suddenly lying on the bed before she knew it, and Leon quickly took off her clothes. It was so fast.

“Umm…!”

Leon’s hand gripped Olivia’s chest, and he kissed her neck. His hand gripped her body, pulling her tight.

Realizing what he was going to do, she shouted.

“Your Excellency, the dress—!”

“Isn’t it Eric’s gift, anyway?”

Still, it was a gift from the Emperor!

The outstanding price dress that wrapped around her body was torn with a single gesture of his. As the piece of fabric that tightly wrapped around her body disappeared, the voluptuous breasts that had been hidden came out.

“Ahhk!”

As if eating fruit, Leon craved the protruding breast with his mouth. Even in that strange atmosphere, his two hands were tearing the dress without mercy. He didn’t know a dress could tear like a piece of paper.

Riiiippp!

This time, the lower body was exposed. Even the thin bottoms had been torn long ago.

Leon fiddled with the briefs wrapped around her secret part. He was surprised to see that it was already damp.

“It was really wet.”

“Don’t say it…”

He then grinned as Olivia spoke in a mosquito-sized voice, and he took off her briefs. Her face burned red with her own body exposed in broad daylight.

“Your Excellency. After all, thinking about it, wouldn’t it be better to do it when it’s a little dark…”

“I can’t wait.”

A sweet sound escaped from her mouth as he kissed her breast and tickled her n*pples.

“Huhk…”

Leon saw it and laughed. As if in repulsion, Olivia raised her hand and stroked his genitals as she began to gain strength.

“…Ugh. Olivia.”

“You are the only one who keeps making me excited.”

The more Olivia’s hand touched Leon’s center, the larger it got. She wondered why his p*nis was this big, and how she had been accepting it. Leon frowned and let out a low sigh. A clear liquid began to flow between his glans.

When she saw it and took her hand off, he spoke in a low voice.

“I am not used to controlling my excitement.”

What…?

Before she could answer, his manhood started rubbing her entrance. The thick shaft pierced her inside as the liquid dripping down his already wet tip sufficiently doused her.

“Huuhk—!”

Her walls clasped around him with joy. At that moment, he let out a low sigh.

Olivia smiled as she looked at his excited face. She wanted this. She always wanted to hold him like this. She wanted to be loved. It was not a forced relationship, though a form of a mutual desire for each other.

Tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes, and Leon panicked as he lifted his back and tried to remove his inserted genitals. Then, she hugged him by the neck.

“No, it doesn’t hurt. It doesn’t hurt, and I like it.”

“….”

“Leon, don’t you know how happy I am?”

Uttering so, she planted a kiss on his lips. His waist moved slowly, and little by little he started to stimulate her inside.

“Uhhmmm…! Mmm!”

Leon’s lips swallowed the moan that came out of Olivia’s mouth.

Her arms wrapped around his broad shoulders as he supported her slightly raised waist and lifted it up.

“Ahhk!”

Changing posture while connected stimulated other places. Using his shoulders as leverage, she sat up on her knees, slowly moving her back. He gazed at her face as if possessed.

Olivia liked Leon’s eyes, the eyes filled with lust and coveting her. There was a feeling of fullness and joy in it.

Meanwhile, his mouth gasped at the strange movement of his waist. Unbearable, he grabbed Olivia’s waist and raised her lower body. There was a popping sound as her lower back went down, and he moved it back up in sync.

“Uhng—!”

A shrill scream escaped her mouth.

Not knowing what to do with the intense pleasure, Leon grabbed her by the waist and made her rest her head on his chest. Leaning on him in a lewd position with her legs stretched to the limit, she accepted his length.

The red-hot walls greedily swallowed, squeezed and tightened his genitals.

“Aaaahhh!”

A sweet moan escaped Olivia’s mouth. Leon murmured as her tear-soaked eyes looked at him.

“Really, I’m going crazy.”

The olive-colored eyes looking at him were clouded by lust. The sight of tears flowing down stimulated the sadism inherent in him. Olivia held him tightly, and he filled her with his own lust as if chewing and swallowing her.

Leon took her body, and Olivia took his body as well.

They ran towards primal pleasures. The bumps on the inner wall constantly provoked Leon’s member, and his solid pillar pierced her. The white sheets had long since been soaked wet by the man and woman having an affair.

“Uhhhnngg! Leon…!”

When his name leaked out of Olivia’s red lips, who had reached her limit, Leon couldn’t bear it and climaxed inside her.

She was the one he thought he would never see again. Leon felt her satisfaction as he watched her weaving, leaning against his chest, embracing her climax. The ferocious beast within it growled with satisfaction.

Olivia’s face, which was red with excitement, matched the color of her hair, and it was the most bizarre. Enough to understand why people have sex during the day.

“Olivia…”

Unable to control the loveliness, he kissed her sweaty forehead.

“I love you.”

“….”

“My fiancée. my love.”

Olivia, who had been immersed in the ecstatic climax, heard his confession and she felt supreme joy.

“Me, too. Your Excellency.”

As she mumbled back shyly, he spoke with a smile.

“You should call me Leon.”

“…Your Excellency.”

“Since a while ago, you keep using the words ‘Your Excellency’ and ‘Leon’ alternately.

“….”

“Are you going to call me Your Excellency even if we get married?”

Olivia shook her head and gave an unexpected answer.

“At that time, it should be called ‘honey,’ not ‘Your Excellency’.”

He recalled when she called him honey with those little lips. He was elated just thinking about it. On the other hand, seeing Leon immersed in his thoughts, she called to him as if anxious.

“Your Highness…?”

“I’m Leon.”

Leon’s hand then slowly caressed her round buttocks. Olivia suddenly felt a firm presence poking her own rear. Moments later, he split her legs apart and shoved his pillar in excitement.

“Ahhk! Leon, why…!”

The word honey was too trivial for a reason to get excited again. In the end, she was forced to scream as she embraced Leon’s ferocious member that was excited.

“I am me, but you are you, too, Leon.”

Eric sat in his chair, crossed his legs and shook his head. He already had a look of boredom.

“It wasn’t enough to cut off his arm, so you cut off his middle leg. Oh, you are scary.”

Leon stared at Eric as if he was full of energy. It wasn’t something to say when he killed his father and his brothers.

Perhaps, noticing his gaze, Eric added brazenly.

“At least, you cleanly killed him?”

“….”

“So, how do you feel about killing your brother?”

“From the beginning, we weren’t even brothers.”

“….”

“How can I consider the man who was trying to steal my person away as a brother? What would you do if your brother did that to the Jane you love?”

“Jane will probably enjoy it as well, though…”

Eric patted his lips and said with a calm face.

“I have to make it even breathing is painful.”

After answering that, he suddenly wrinkled his face and continued, “No, thinking about it makes me feel bad. You must have felt this way, too.”

“Yes.”

Leon thought of Kevin. From the moment he first came, he didn’t like Leon. Kevin pretended to be a very lovable boy, but he knew he was greedy in the guise of an innocent boy. Come to think of it now, his father, Edgar, knew it as well.

Despite that, Edgar trusted him, and he died.

“What does Miss Claudel say?”

“She didn’t say anything. She didn’t look good.”

“From what you say, it seems like they were close when they were young, although it must be a pretty complicated feeling.”

“….”

“I mean, there was a time when I was close with my brothers. I know what it feels like.”

“But, I can’t forgive him for what he did.”

Leon declared grimly.

Giving his heart to Olivia, he couldn’t stand what Kevin had done. How desperate he was when he found out what Kevin had done to her. Even on his return, Leon drove her away with a misunderstanding, far from giving her trust.

When Olivia needed Leon the most, he couldn’t help her. He had to pay the price for Olivia for the rest of his life…

Eric yawned and stretched out.

“Stop talking about the dark thing. Duke Grande must have been executed. I would have disposed of your brother, too. When are you going to get married?”

“As soon as possible.”

“Oh, I should prepare a present.”

Saying that, he thought about what gift he could give. Meanwhile, Leon had a rare smile on his lips. At that warm look, Eric smiled and opened his mouth.

“It’s surprising that the two of you haven’t been able to do it before.”

The storm had passed, and now all that was left was a happy reward.

Eric yawned again.

“Okay. Now, as promised, I will make Miss Olivia Claudel recognized as my people. She will be officially listed on the list of nobles in this land.”

“Is my fiancée’s work so lowly enough to say while yawning?”

“It’s great knowing how many times I’ve been up all night because of this… So, now there’s nothing wrong with you two getting married. Congratulations.”

With a still sleepy face, Eric expressed with sincerity.

After completing all his duties, Leon walked to the place where Olivia was. She had entered the palace with him to meet Jane.

Soon after, he found his fiancée.

Olivia was talking to Jane. Seeing her face with a bright smile, he hesitated for a moment. That smile… that smile, would he accidentally get rid of it again? His inexperience may mean that he will make mistakes again and again. Would their relationship be catastrophic because she got hurt again?

As Leon was lost in thought, Olivia found him.

“Leon!”

With a clear voice calling out to him, he glanced at her face.

Olivia narrowed her eyes and smiled. It was the same smile she had at him the day Leon began to regard Olivia as his fiancée.

‘Ah, she’s really…’

It was as she said. His love had already been budding from a long time ago.

Leon approached her and hugged her in his somehow overwhelmed heart. The hesitation was gone.

As long as she likes him, he will not let go of her again.

Making that determination, he gave more strength to hold her in his arms. Then, Olivia hugged him back. Their hug lasted quite a while until Jane, who happened to see the two of them in love, said something.
