"What's wrong?"

Arianell asked the man who buried his face into her lap. He knelt before her in the small carriage, hugging her waist tightly. His calloused hands used to grip the heavy sword and other weapons trembled as he was afraid of breaking her fragile body.

"Luan, can I help with anything?" Her voice was like a holy song, touching his soul in its deepest darkness. He was afraid she would be disgusted with his thought. What would her reaction be like if she knew he wanted to possess everything about her?

Arianell raised her hand and touched the head full of dark blue hair, comforting him like a child. The soft feeling under her fingers was sensual, she could stroke it for a whole day and wouldn't get tired of it.

"Mmmm," the man huffed refusing to let her go. He buried his head even deeper like her thighs were the best pillow in the world. His obsession got the better of him. How does anyone dare to even look at her? She was his since the start.

"Just tell me?" The woman asked again, her voice devoid of any impatience.

Luan raised his face and his gaze fixated on her. The eyes had the colour of the ocean and were mesmerising. He was known as the strongest man in the kingdom. The most feared commander on the battlefield who slew thousands of enemies and had his hand covered in blood yet was still so handsome that a mere look from him would make countless women tremble.

And that man was whining to her like a small child.

"Don't teach him anymore. He doesn't deserve it…" he muttered.

"You mean your vice-commander? I'm just helping him with magic…"

Luan's grip tightened like he was afraid of losing her.

Was this the problem all along? Was he jealous of her spending time with his subordinate?

"Then, teach me, too…" He leaned his head on the shoulder, tickling her neck with his warm breath.

"You? You are a swordmaster already, what can I even teach you…?" Arianell chuckled at his unconcealed attempt. If anything, he was extremely cute and charming right now.

"Anything… I still don't know a lot… Just teach me anything. Please…?" He decided to cling to her shamelessly till the end. If anyone witnessed the scene right now, his image of the fearless monster would crumble in a matter of seconds. But Luan couldn't care less about his reputation.

"Sure, I also have a lot of things I'm clueless about… Let's learn about it together."

Her soft lips touched his forehead as she landed a small kiss on him. Luan froze momentarily, the tips of his ears turning crimson.

Arianell let out a laugh.

What is she supposed to do with this puppy now?

His obsession may be visible to the naked eye, but her feelings won't lose to it. No one can take this perfect man from her. He belongs to her, to the last strand of hair.
