Nora discovered that she might not be able to rely on the novel's contents anymore. Due to her transmigration, a lot of changes had happened and this was also the past in which calor had not regressed yet.
In the original novel the protagonist party had already slayed the demon with ease and advanced towards the next plot point. But because of her injury and recovery, adding to the fact that Calix also delayed them, the demon might have consumed more humans and become even stronger.
Nora nervously bit her nails.
At this rate, wouldn't the demon have lost interest in her and found a better prey?
A familiar strong hand removed her fingers from her mouth and caught her chin. She reflexively tried to get away, but to no avail.
"What are you thinking about? Is this novel that interesting?" Calix asked, taking the novel in her hand.
Carla, who witnessed this, blushed and got out of the carriage angrily muttering something under her breath.
"It's very interesting. I love these types of books." Nora said absent mindedly, too busy thinking about what to do next to even care about him.
Calix let go of her and examined the book. He smirked as he examined the art inside the book.
"It seems very interesting indeed," He said teasingly, showing her the erotic art in which two men were entwined in a passionate position.
Nora let out a small scream in her mind and tried to snatch it from his hands. Calix held it up higher and leaned back, causing her to fall flat on his chest.
"Sir Calix! Give it back!"
"I wonder what Young Master Calor and Lady Arabella would think about their little sister reading these kinds of erotic novels," He teased, leaning in and pulling her closer to him with his hand on her waist.
She was practically sitting on him now.
Nora, who noticed their position started to blush furiously, crimson staining her pale white cheeks.
Calix smirked. Her reaction made him want to bite her cheeks that looked appetizing for some reason. His thoughts confused himself. Did he want to eat her? He did not have a taste for human flesh though.
Nora noticed something change as his golden eyes darkened. She felt it was dangerous to be in this position for longer, so she tried to get up. Tried being the keyword as her balance was odd and fell again.
She supported herself by grabbing his chest.
It was an accident! Nora was definitely not taking advantage of the situation to feel his man boobs.
Calix looked at her amused that she seemed to want to touch his body, but was too shy to do so. He heard a sound outside the carriage and smirked.
"Miss Nora, can you please stop groping me?" He said, looking shy all of a sudden.
"What do you mean?" Why was this guy acting all of a sudden?
The curtains to the carriage were suddenly torn apart and Calor looked at the scene inside in utter horror.
A man was leaning with his back on the carriage wall and a woman sat on him, grabbing his chest like a pervert. The man tried to remove her hands off of him shyly, but the woman refused to do so. Normally, he wouldn't have given any thoughts and just moved on.
But the thing was, the woman was his little sister and the man his newfound best friend!
"Nora, what are you doing to Calix!" He yelled.
Startled, Nora lifted her hands from Calix's chest like she was burned.
'What the hell is Calix doing here?'
She knew how wrong this scene looked too.
Calor uttered curses as he got into the carriage, lifted Nora off Calix, who was doing a very good job of acting like he was molested, and got out of the carriage. He didn't even set her down as he carried her in Arabella's direction. Nora blinked as everything happened too fast. She looked up to see Calix waving at her and cursed.
Arabella was startled. Calor was carrying Nora like a sack of potatoes while scolding her, and everyone was looking at them.
She ran up to Calor.
"What happened?" She questioned.
Calor was furious.
"Did you know what your precious cousin sister was doing? She boldly molested Sir Calor in broad daylight!" He yelled.
Nora wanted to point out that it was evening and the sky was turning dark, but kept quiet.
Arabella's eyes widened and she held back a smile so as to not anger Calor.
Nora glanced at Arabella who looked like a fan who's favorite ship sailed. She knew that look very well from her days as an author. She suddenly understood why Arabella's trust in her increased.
Bella grabbed Nora, lifted her out of Calor's arms and set her down.
"There there. I will talk to her. You should not interfere in women's business Calor. It might have been an accident." She even scolded Calor on behalf of her.
Calor wanted to yell that he saw nothing wrong, his eyes were perfectly fine, but before he could, both women started walking away very fastly. He shook his head and went back.
Arabella led Nora to a quiet place.
"I know you might be excited because it's your first love, but Nora you shouldn't force yourself on a man." Arabella chided.
"I wasn't-"
"I understand that girl your age must be eager. But you really should control yourself. Especially in the midst of other people. Look how you have shocked Cal."
"It was an accident! I was trying to take away my book and fell on him!" Nora yelled, trying to make Bella's delusions stop.
"Oh." Arabella sounded disappointed.
She awkwardly patted Nora's head and silently led her to the carriage, only to find Calor consoling the damned demon king who got her into this mess. Calor glared at Nora as soon as she came into sight.
"I heard everything from Sir Calix," He said calmly.
