"I challenge you to a duel! if you win you can have rose. if you lose i'll have your head!"
Chapter 73: Henry and Rose
i stared at Kai who's still glaring at me. i smiled innocently and slowly leans away from rose.
i am extremely innocent. but wife is glaring at me.
"You.. you.. you who are you to my rose?1 no! i don't care about you, get away from my rose!"
evryone is probably thinking that this scene is common yet trange.
this is a brothel, men always visits this place.
And wives seeing their husbands in here and causing a scandal is common occurrence in this place.
but today is different. husbands were now catching their wives in trouble.
and one of those wives still has the decency to get lost on her thoughts and act innocent.
"Suzue Avaleon, Explain"
"Funny story, we were just talking"
i stood up and took a step back away from rose.
and stared at kai who's arms are in his hips and his eyebrow is raising.
"Talking while so close to each other?, you are embracing that woman darling. don't treat me as a fool"
I literally could see dark aura around him.
so i immediately walk to him and pats his chest while smiling innocently.
"Why don't we talk it at home hmm?"
his forehead creases and glared behind me, i know his glaring at rose so i immediately intertwine our hands and i lightly pulled him towards the door.
"Bye miss rose"
"Ezu!"
"Sorry"
before we could leave i felt something being thrown towards me when i turn away to catch it, i couldn't because i froze in my step after distinguishing the object being thrown towards me.
a white glove.
i blink twice when it hit my chest.
"i don't care if you have a lover! you still touched my rose. duel me!"
ehh?
A lovesick person was found. a grin slowly appeared on my lips.
i slightly examine the features of this person who has the guts to duel the heir (ugh) of avaleon dukedom.
"you are henry Agustin. the son of the current lord of the nero"
Brown hair and green eyes, the features an Agustin has.
"I challenge you to a duel! if you win you can have rose. if you lose i'll have your head!"
he ignored what i said and repeated what he said.
"why aren't you accepting my invitation?! see rose?! i am the only one for you! so accept my proposal and be with me!"
"sure"
"hahh coward... wait what?"
"I said sure... let's duel, Later at evening. 9 o'clock sharp. i'll be waiting"
I stared at him with my chin lightly up. openly looking down at him.
he glared at me so hard that it's as if i would die any minute with it.
He really does love that lady ah. eh my love is much deeper. not to the lady though.
i snorted at his attempt to intimidate me and walk out the store with kai still gripping on my hand tightly.
so tight that i think my hand is going to break.
i actually i think he already broke it.
walking towards the inn was so silent.
i silently bared the pain on my hand and glance at kai who's still glaring at me.
i sigh helplessly and stops in front of the inn and raises our amrs and kisses his fingers.
"She was just whispering something about the merfolk. she whispered it so no one could see. don't worry i didn't touch her"
he didn't answered and just pulled me inside the inn. my breath hitch when he push me on the wall.
"I really want eat you"
"kinky"
"Tsk"
I just smiled and let him hug me tightly.
i stared at my hand throbbing in pain.
he notice me staring at it and held it and planted a kiss on my wrist.
My forehead creases when he bit it hard, so hard that i could feel his teeth penetrating to my flesh.
So violent.
"Ouch" i lazily said. and he let go, i could see my blood on his lips.
he lick my bloody wrist and kisses my forehead.
"You are mine"
"Hmm, say that to my bloody wrist"
"Sorry i couldn't stop it"
i smiled and held his head that's now laying on my neck. he nibbles on my neck while rubbing my wound gently.
Now he's feeling guilty. hmpp how annoying.
i rub his earlobe and hums and payed with his hair.
"The duel"
"i'm going. it would greatly benefit us, obtaining the gratitude of rose can be a path for gaining the trust to the other merfolk.
And that little lord might be the key for me to meet the lord. gaining his favorability will be great"
"you are the heir, why do you need to sneak in. you can get anything you want"
"i need a real one. A loyalty. allies with unwavering loyalty and who owes us a favor will be a grate piece in a chessboard"
we fell into silence, my grip on his hair tighten and i purse my lips when i didn't hear him react.
"Do you have me now for being so calculative?...Don't forget you are being secretive to me kai"
i raise his head and frown when i notice his eyes shifted to guilt and helplessness.
"i'm sorry" i didn't answer and hum.
"you can't tell me?"
"I can't"
"You are the spade right?"
"... yes"
why did he hesitate? it's not like i'm stupid and would deny what i saw.
"Are you going to kill me after everything?"
"Do you want the truth?"
"no"
"then no... i don't have to kill you"
well i guess that's the nicest lie i've ever heard.
i purse my lips and sigh and rubs my palm.
"I guess i have to die then"
"I'll find a way"
"It's fine"
"..."
i already died once... if i have to die again then it's fine. everyone dies anyway what's there to be afraid off.
"Then when that time comes.. please give me the honor to die with you again"
Come to think of it... my wish was already fulfilled... and i guess his too.
i wonder what was his wish was?. i'll kill him if it's another life to met women more.
i'll bury him alive to make him remember that he died once, he can still die again.
"in our next life i want to meet you again and to be together with you longer" i whispered and lightly bit his ear.
" yeah... that'll be my wish you too." he should hmpp
"..."
"..."
"are you still jealous?"
"... you are good at coaxing people"
"i ... i'm doing my best"
"TSk"
"Why are you jealous again?"
"Shut up"
"Sorry"
"..."
"..."
"the duel"
"still going"
"tsk"
