"Both. I don't want you to touch me and I want to leave soon to live with Neil. Are you happy now? So when can we finish all of this? I will give you a child." Lia's voice was so firm, so solid as if she was determined and would never regret what she said. It was as if she had prepared herself for a thousand years to say those things to Prince Aerus, with the intention that she might be freed forever from his domination.
Prince Aerus instantly realized that Lia had gone too far. And to be honest, this didn't look like Lia, from the impression that Prince Aerus had caught and got from her. So different, so new, and also pretty awful. Prince Aerus would never know at the point where he could establish his dominance, at which point he could put his power to confine Lia. Do the classic methods never work now?
"What are you saying?" asked Prince Aerus with various stifling emphases in his voice. He didn't know how he could stop himself from exploding, against Lia's various resistances. When things happened in bed maybe he could suppress it better because Mirah's energy in his body, that dominated, would take over everything. However, under normal conditions like this, he couldn't guarantee that he could do that. His patience could run out with nothing left. And if that happened, his fear of killing Lia began to spread and became a troublemaker.
"I…" Lia swallowed hard, she began to tremble at hearing the terrible tone that came out of Prince Aerus, which honestly was almost like a scream and also thunder that split the sky, tearing her heart and also her very fragile courage.
Lia glared for a moment, squeezed her fingers, and began to lose ground on her feet. She was shaking and nearly collapsed on the floor shivering. But soon she was looking for another focus. She leaned against the sink.
Bracing herself and her voice, Lia said, "I said I want to get things done. I will give you a child." She didn't mean to be shaking, or look scared. For her, she had become a very strong and confident Lia even though she felt her tears starting to well up due to nervousness.
She couldn't remember when she had ever put up a fight against someone else. Without even wanting to remember it spontaneously her brain had wandered in search of the smallest and darkest memory. In the end, Lia remembered something.
When she was still in school she once fought her classmate, who at that time bullied Lia by ridiculing her as an illegitimate child for living in an orphanage.
"You must be an illegitimate child because you were abandoned by your family. You must be an unwanted child because you were abandoned by your family. You must be a cursed child because you were abandoned by your family."
Then Lia's answer was, "Who knows that I am an abandoned child? I've never heard that version from anyone. Who knows if it turns out that I was kidnapped because my family is rich and criminals request ransom? Who knows if I am a princess who is in danger of being targeted by many enemies? You never know how other people live, so stop talking nonsense."
Then Lia received many attacks, punches, kicks, and also tugs because of her fearless attitude. The gloomy days at school began since then, and Lia was deeply traumatized by her fierce resistance.
Her body shook again, she was worried that the gloomy things she had experienced at school would happen again now. Prince Aerus had treated her quite cruelly, and Lia would never know what would happen if Prince Aerus' patience and humanity had run out.
Lia looked like she would fall and fall if only behind her back she didn't find solid support. Or she would fall if he didn't wake herself up.
All her fears had been caught by Prince Aerus, who had been combing Lia's movements all this time. He did it subconsciously as if the activity was the one thing he missed. Then when he realized something, which was Lia's fear, Prince Aerus tugged at the corners of his lips softly. He felt bounced when he saw Lia wasn't strong enough to leave him. And that meant Prince Aerus was still in full control of Lia right now.
It's showtime!
Prince Aerus leaned forward, getting as close to Lia as possible. Then he leaned forward and smirked. "Is it true? Do you want to finish everything?" Prince Aerus put on a seductive face, as well as nosy with a sexy expression. Oh, he's a master at that.
It was hard to swallow her saliva. Lia, who had been so determined to prove it, trembled even more. Sweat trickled down her face and body, making her look sparkling and even more voluptuous.
Prince Aerus immediately wrapped his arms around Lia's waist, pulled her, and then pressed her body so that she couldn't move. Lia began to shock, her face was red with embarrassment and panic. She tried to push Prince Aerus's body.
"Wha – what are you trying to do?" said Lia nervously. Her hands tried to find an opening to escape. Unfortunately, however, only her hands could move while the rest of her body was completely locked.
Her heart was beating very fast, it was going crazy and started to explode when Prince Aerus started to kiss her lips, touched her face, and then down to her neck.
Lia squirmed, almost in despair. She pushed Prince Aerus' body, then hit his chest repeatedly. Lia shook her head, squeezing her strength to escape. When she tasted Prince Aerus's intruding tongue, she grew her courage very drastically. Lia bit the tongue of Prince Aerus, when she felt him getting too late and things going too far.
A groan was heard after Lia took a bite. In the midst of all that she thought that she had managed to take control and then could run away at will. But a second later she saw Prince Aerus' face turning red, his hands wrapped around her even more and he kissed Lia deeper and more without pause than before.
When Prince Aerus felt movement from Lia's mouth cavity, which wanted to hurt him again, he immediately did some gentle caressing to immobilize Lia. Prince Aerus did it with all his heart, although to be honest, the emotions welled up quite violently in his body. Some touches of him felt rough and uneven, some seemed very forced and rushed.
Prince Aerus seemed to be in a state of confusion, whether he wanted to do 'that' with Lia or not. Amid the Bler energy that dominated his body, Prince Aerus would be able to think more clearly.
'Should I do it? Should I really do it? Will Lia get pregnant? Will she leave me after giving birth to a child for me? I… I don't want her to go, so I shouldn't touch her. But I want her too now, so badly.'
Prince Aerus' touch became further and further away, spreading downwards, causing Lia to be tormented by inner turmoil. Lia, who was struggling, started to weaken, she was fighting with herself especially when she felt Prince Aerus' hand lift one of her legs.
