CH 110

“Your Highness said that he had never changed his mind, but that was before you had me. Originally, I thought it would grow bigger and not change though after you have me, it will be different… After one year? No, you will get used to me in less than two months, and you will get tired of it.”

“…Azela.”

“Then, after about four months, you won’t even remember whether I was by Your Highness’ side. And by then, I will have become a nuisance to Your Highness.”

“You won’t…!”

Chises shook his head, he reacted violently as if he had been stabbed by her words.

It was exactly like that.

He always just wanted her. He wanted to have her by his side, and he wanted to have Azela’s name mentioned alongside his fame. No matter how much time passed, he wanted to keep her, who was cherished as a good image, and who became a woman praised by someone, even after her divorce, by his side.

“Even so, can you say that this is ‘love’ for me and that you have not changed your mind?”

“I—!”

“Your Highness has never said that you were excited thinking of me, and you have never whispered love while looking at me. You also don’t want to welcome me as the Empress… As long as you can keep me by your side, you don’t care even if I was a concubine.”

“Listen to me!”

“Your Highness, rather than thinking about the hurt I will receive, you only thought of bringing Daniel in front of me and trying to talk to me one more time somehow…”

Chises gritted his teeth at her barrage of attacks.

“Even when Sylvia was pouring champagne on me, Your Highness still couldn’t come forward. All you do was only for Your Highness’ sake only.”

Azela raised her grasped wrist to eye level. It was only then did his eyes caught on her wrist, which had turned blue as he gripped her tightly. Surprised, Chises hurriedly let go of her wrist though her wrist was already bruised.

“You just have the desire to hold me and have me talk to you rather than the pain in my wrist.”

“….”

“That’s why Your Highness doesn’t love me. You just want to keep me by your side and feel your satisfaction.”

Chises gritted his teeth at her firm answer. Azela, who was looking at him like that, soon turned her body with a tired face.

Perhaps because she had met so many people, she was exhausted. She thought that if Zagnac had finished his talk with the Emperor, she would go back to the mansion and wash off this slimy body. And after that, she would lie down in bed and fall into a deep sleep.

“Yes, you are right.”

Chises, who was looking at Azela’s back, clenched his teeth and grabbed her wrist again. And just like that, he pushed her hard against the wall in the hallway.

Bang.

The sound of her hitting the wall was loud.

“Uh!”

Azela, who was hit on the back by Chises’ sudden action, grimaced and groaned. He pressed her against the wall holding her wrists tightly, and stared at her with a mad gaze.

“Azela, you are right about everything.”

“….”

“I want you, I want you by my side… I don’t think about your feelings because I just want you.”

“Your Highness.”

“I thought that the feeling I feel for you must be love, but as you said, this feeling is not love. So, if it’s something like simply wanting to have something…”

Saying so, Chises took a deep breath and spat out, and the bitter smell of alcohol stung her nostrils. Azela turned her head away at the foul stench. However, Chises, who grabbed her cheek tightly, turned her head towards him again.

“…Then, there is no need to hesitate any longer.”

Goosebumps ran through her body when she saw the look in his eyes, which blended with madness and obsession. Even if she tried to pull her wrists out, she couldn’t overcome the strong force, probably because he was drunk.

And then, just as it was, Chises lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Suddenly receiving that, Azela opened her eyes wide and closed her lips. Even though she tried to turn her head, she couldn’t because his hand was holding her cheek so strongly.

“Open your mouth.”

He languidly whispered with half-closed eyes.

The smell of alcohol came up again. Right, so this was what he decided? As she glared at him with a scornful gaze, Chises gritted at the sight of Azela’s lips closing and never opening.

“That’s how I’m going to act.”

Chise’s hand, which had been gripping her cheeks, was roughly taken away, and he touched her dress. Putting his hand through the skirt of the open dress, he brushed her thigh.

“Ah!”

Startled by the sudden bold move, Azela took a deep breath.

Chises did not miss the opportunity as his tongue invaded her gaping lips. Azela, taken by surprise, forcefully kicked his shin several times. Still, Chises didn’t budge as if he didn’t even feel the pain.

“Uuhpp…!”

Azela shouted out loud to ask for help from the knight standing in the hallway like an ornament, but it was soon swallowed into Chises’ mouth. In addition, the knight did not move even though he clearly met her gaze. It was because the other party was Crown Prince Chises.

‘D*mn it.’

Azela frowned.

Chises’ tongue brushed the roof of her mouth. Perhaps not paying attention to the angry Azela, he just focused on his actions as his lower leg was growing into a bulge. She wondered how easily he could behave like this in the hallway where everyone passed by.

Azela’s head went cold, and she glanced down at his bulging lower body.

‘Shall I slam that part hard?’

She then stopped thinking.

With these emotions, it was clear that she should kick with all her might, having failed to control her strength. If he became a eunuch or if something went wrong, maybe it would come to a situation where she had to take responsibility for him.

‘Although it’s classic…’

It was a classic method, but it worked just as well.

Azela bit his snake-like tongue as it slowly moved through her mouth as if exploring every corner. It was even more welcome if his tongue was cut off and he couldn’t speak anymore.

“Kuht!”

Surprised by the excruciating pain, Chise hurriedly removed his lips from hers as red blood trickled down his lips. Still, he never let go of her wrist, even though he could have pulled it back with this kind of pain.

Looking at her hand, which had turned purple because her blood didn’t work, Azela frowned. She also seemed to feel a tingling pain.

“Azela.”

He lifted his free finger and stroked my lips. Seeing the red blood on his fingers, he laughed bitterly.

“If you do this…”

Looking at Chises, who smiled viciously, Azela thought what she just did was wrong.

“Don’t you think I’ll be more stimulated?”

Asking that, he ran his fingers across her inner thighs.

Azela immediately thought that she should never face a drunk person in the future. It was a hallway near the banquet hall, so there were definitely people passing by. However, they either pretended not to see her and the Crown Prince or knew that it was the Crown Prince and avoided them.

She soon gave up the thought that someone passing by would help her. Azela looked at the swollen part of Chises’ lower body.

‘…Is there really no choice but to kick it hard?’

Yes, if she adjusted the power and kicked it, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

As she thought so, Azela took a deep breath. All she wanted was to get rid of that hand that was sweeping her thigh, no matter what.

Just as she frowned and tried to lift her foot…

“What are you doing now?”

..The voice that erupted was full of danger. Zagnac gnashed his teeth at the savage scene unfolding before his eyes. And before Azela and Chises could even turn their heads in the direction of the voice, he acted first.

Zagnac took a step closer to Azela and Chises, grabbed him by the neck in front of the Emperor’s eyes, and threw him away.

“Kyaak!”

Seeing Chises lying on the hallway floor, Livia screamed in surprise, covering her mouth. The knights, who had pretended not to see what Azela was going through, moved quickly at the sound of the Princess’s screams.

Gathering with swords and spears, they tried to figure out the situation while helping Chises, who was so drunk that he couldn’t get up from the hallway floor.
