I can tell he's serious when I look into his eyes. I couldn't help but furrow my brows since, for the first time, I felt as though a spot of ink had penetrated my skin, turning it into a curse. So how am I going to carry out my plans when I can experience lust at any moment?
No matter how many seconds have passed, I still can't seem to ask those questions. I try to talk but it seems like my throat has taken control of my voice.
I can tell that Auster is waiting for my words as I look into his eyes, but even after a minute has gone, all I can hear him say is a sigh as he places both of his hands on my shoulders.
Even though I am temporarily unable to talk, I raise both of my eyebrows at him and inquire as to why.
If it ever occurs, I suppose you'll be worn out and unable to carry out your intentions, right? He says in a quiet tone. Although I can't predict it, I had already anticipated his composure in this circumstance.
I nod my head as I turn to f
“Milady, you are so stunning!”“Milady, you really are something that is like a rose, I agree!”"You're gorgeous, Lady Solstice!"“Despite the fact that this is my first time meeting you, you have already made my heart race.”I take a sip of my tea and focus my gaze on the women who are praising me. All I did was smile and laugh in response to their words, enhancing the beauty of their attention in their pictures.I already perceive them as being cynical deep down.They have always praised me in my previous life, and I never think twice about asking them to do anything for me. I had full confidence in the ladies I had invited to the tea party, but none of them ultimately supported me.I was humiliated, tortured, and betrayed by the people I love when the actual daughter was revealed to society, with the exception of the true friends I consider because their deaths had occurred before mine.Th
The way he delivers those things almost gave me chills if it weren't for his laughter straight after. I was unable to speak, but my eyes were already wide open. I was momentarily perplexed before closing my eyes and concluding that everything he said was a joke.I make up a chuckle while imitating him and say a few things to make his laughter audible.I almost rolled my eyes when I responded, "Well, you could have told me if it's a joke so I could also laugh, Auster," but it baffled me when I tried to hear him laugh louder than before.He continues softly, "But I wasn't joking when I said those words, Solstice," and when I look into his eyes, he seems to be telling the truth. Nonetheless, he couldn't stop laughing, which caused me to furrow my brows.“Do you? Because, Auster, you don't look like it," I reply, shaking my head and finally groaning.There are times when this individual is just something I can't understand."Now, shall we
As soon as Auster utters those words, he releases my hand and starts conversing with the adult nobility while I continue to sit at the table. He told me that even if I'm in danger, he can still find me as long as I call out his name.I sigh for a bit before eventually squinting to look at the nobility who are beginning to bid with the unfortunate slaves displayed in front of them.I finally got up from where I was sitting and went to the balcony for some fresh air since I couldn't bear to see such a sight. When I do inhale it, I can feel the cold breeze reviving every part of my body.I'm not at all cold, so was the necklace to think of? Alternatively, if Auster had ever cast magic on me, was it because of that? Nonetheless, I couldn't help but wonder why these two brothers have distinct ancestries after that. I'm just not able to think about that right now.I shake my head in an attempt to clear my mind, but as I do, a bloody vision appears as if everyth
I can't see what he's talking about, but as soon as he pointed at my skin, I assumed it had something to do with the necklace, which was incorrect. Instead of pointing at the necklace, he is pointing at my abdomen. I briefly believed that Auster had ripped off my garment, and the sound did really echo across the space.It's obvious that Casimir wasn't joking when he wanted to draw attention to something because of the sound of something being stolen and the lack of noise in the area.I noticed how Casimir licked his lips and looked back into my eyes as if he wanted something from me just because I was now completely naked and without underwear. My eyes continue to grow wider as I eventually see the fire starting to ignite within them.Nonetheless, his palm continues to rest on top of my stomach, which is enough for me to realize that he is holding something, and when I try to look at it, my eyes enlarge.I no longer experience the coldness when he touches
Indeed, the night is long. My hands don't tremble when I stare at them, but I feel abandoned in this space as if I were a used rag that has already been thrown away.I can't stop crying because it feels like my entire body has been torn apart by the earlier fire touches that have now vanished like icy shivers.It gives me the impression that I want to feel regret, but I also feel like I can't. When I entered this event,I didn't want to go through it, but I also can't say I don't want it.Even if I desired it before, I can't seem to remember what I wanted to do for the evening now that all that's left of me are some clothes that are on the ground, hickeys all over my body, and a coat that Casimir urges me to take inside. So, I didn't even try to take it.I'm resting on the bed with my eyes tightly shut, and it remains there.I take a few slow, deep breaths and turn to face the window next to me. It does have moonlight beams, but I have no id
“Milady! This morning was so nice. Here's some tea,” as Kaylla served me tea, I overheard her say such a pleasant tone.I give her a smile in return and sip from it. I close my eyes to experience the relaxing tone and energizing aroma of the black tea she gave me, and it does match my current mood.I can't help but grin as I take in the sun's gentle rays. As I finally make the transition from my room to my balcony, I can feel the warmth it imparts to my skin.Even while I currently feel at peace, I am aware that it is simply a temporary state that will pass as I make the most of this opportunity before something from the unknown explodes and becomes known.As soon as I set my tea down on my table, I avert my eyes to the sun's gentle rays. Even while they are stirring up memories of my happy times growing up and scenarios from those times, "Milady, do you want me to refill your tea once more?" it wasn't enough to wash away the suffering, betray
By the time he said that name, I couldn't help but close my mouth and narrow my eyes. I wanted to speak to him and ask him a question, but as I caught a glimpse of his smirk, I briefly remembered what I had been forgetting to consider.It turns out that the being in front of me is not a human. He's a wizard. But it is absurd because, as Xander already informed me, "Are you—-?" they always leave magic traces behind.He chuckles briefly before saying, "I guess you only found it out now, too, Solstice," and I can hear him saying it in my head.He replies, this time without smirking, "Being a pureblood mage may make me indestructible, just that because I can control myself from the things I want to obtain.”Instead, he is already staring into my soul, waiting for a reaction, and I can do nothing more than nod and pretend to cough to escape his penetrating eyes.It did work, but he says something that I shouldn't have heard because as soon a
I can even say that Auster is never joking when he uses those words at the end of the day. He respectfully reacts to my dilemma in response to another question I had asked him and eventually hands me something I can't throw away.Not when the adverse effects of this necklace and remembering my history are the solution for my lust.“Wow, what a delightful sight to witness,” the moonlight beams make the night very luminous. I can't help but close my eyes as my hold on the medicine Auster gave me becomes firmer.Finally, I feel as like the weight of my current problems has been lifted from the thorns of past experiences.My eyes rested on the object I was holding when I opened them. It has a pink heart-shaped aperture in the center and is shaped like a circle. I can see the hue of the liquid, and there is a thin thread encircling it that is covered with shimmering golden glitters.Yes, it is pink.I'm beginning to have my doubts abo
