I Accidentally Kidnapped The Ultimate Villain – Chapter 66

Ch 66

Aria, flustered by Killian’s words, relaxed her body. Killian was then able to remove his wrist from between her legs. He was a little disappointed, but since he only intended to scare her, he withdrew his hand without any lingering feelings.

However, seeing her so frightened made him regret the words he had just spoken.

“H-He was one person.”

“Even just me and His Highness together makes two.”

“I mean one person besides Killian.”

“What did you do with His Highness?”

“He just waited until I fell asleep.”

Aria stared intently at Killian, unsure if he was being serious. He looked at Aria, who was trembling beneath him, yet seemed sincere, and it occurred to him that it might actually be the truth.

The reports he had received clearly stated that there were more than ten confirmed men.

“A lie.”

“Ah, there won’t be anyone in the future.”

“You should say there will only be one person.”

“There won’t be anyone!”

Killian was deflated by Aria’s firm words. It was true that she was easy to manipulate, but he hadn’t intended to make her this afraid.

Besides, seeing her this scared so openly didn’t make him feel good either.

“If you pierce my ear, I’ll forgive you.”

“……Yes.”

Aria watched him sigh and slowly rise. She then looked at Killian, who sat on the sofa as if that was his only purpose.

“If you do that, you’ll leave, right?”

“After seeing Aria fall asleep.”

“……”

She thought it would be better to just pierce his ear quickly and send him away.

“Okay.”

So, she quickly took out the tools that Lionell had left in the first drawer of her dressing table. After roughly checking them with her eyes, she approached Killian.

He was sitting on the long sofa, and when Aria tried to sit next to him, he glared at her askew.

“You don’t like it, do you? Piercing ears is really painful…”

“I don’t think I’d like it if you sat there.”

Killian patted his thigh, as if telling her to sit on it. After a moment of hesitation, Aria bit her lip, thinking that provoking him with pointless resistance wasn’t a good idea.

Then, she realized how swollen her lips were from how much he had bitten them, and she was once again reminded of the seriousness of the situation.

“I’m heavy, though.”

“You’ve forgotten that I carried you before.”

“Ah…”

Aria suddenly remembered when she had secretly snuck out of the estate with him to explore the Underground City. Thinking of that time, she felt a little less tense. Back then, he wasn’t such a bad person.

But if his pure appearance back then, after losing his memories, was his true self…

No, even if it was true, the current him was an extremely dangerous opponent.

Thinking that, she nonchalantly sat on his thigh. Then, he spread her legs and made her settle completely on top of him, looking up at Aria.

“If you do this, you’ll leave.”

“……Yes.”

Killian didn’t like how her gaze was turning cold again, so he stared intently at her. When their eyes met, Aria’s gaze softened a little, just as he had hoped.

She brought the awl, alcohol cotton, alcohol lamp, and lighter that were behind her. Then, as Killian’s hand tried to touch her, she handed him the alcohol lamp.

“Hold it well.”

“Yes.”

Killian found her resistance amusing, but he tolerated it because it was so clumsy.

As he held the alcohol lamp in his hand, Aria tried to light the lighter. But she had never lit a lighter in her past life, so there was no way she could light it now.

“Ah…”

There were clicking sounds, but the flame would ignite and quickly disappear. Aria became competitive and spun the lighter wheel with her thumb, but the fire wouldn’t light easily.

“Pfft…”

Killian laughed as he watched Aria, and although he thought about helping her, he didn’t because he found her flustered state amusing. He remembered when she had bandaged him after he was first kidnapped, and she ended up giving him a nosebleed.

“……”

“T-This doesn’t work well!”

He laughed as he watched Aria’s pupils tremble in panic. Then, as if he couldn’t help it, he took Aria’s hand and made her hold the alcohol lamp. He held her hand very tightly, then took the lighter and lit it for her.

With a ‘flick’ sound, the fire lit easily.

“Ah…”

Aria felt strange, as if she had become an Australopithecus who had seen fire for the first time, when she saw him easily light the fire after she had struggled for so long.

“That’s strange.”

“The lighter is really strange.”

“No. I know that Princess Aria is a heavy smoker of cigarettes.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

Killian recalled that the report he had received stated that Aria was a heavy smoker who even smoked cigarettes.

But even when he had been with her, she had never put a cigarette in her mouth. Moreover, she had never once given off that terrible smell.

In the first place, the smell of cigarettes couldn’t be covered up by perfume.

“Is the report really wrong?”

“Huh?”

“It’s nothing. Now that the fire is lit, what do we do?”

“Ah…”

She handed the alcohol lamp back to Killian. He accepted it willingly and tried to make eye contact with Aria. However, Aria was too focused on soaking the cotton with alcohol to look at him. He found it amusing, yet he also wanted her to look at him quickly, so he stared at her persistently.

However, she was truly focused only on the alcohol cotton.

Soon, she soaked the cotton and brought it to Killian’s ear. He watched her stare intently at his ear as she slowly wiped it, and he shivered at the cold sensation.

“Aria.”

“Yes?”

He looked at her intently. But even at his voice, Aria didn’t look at him, and she was checking to see if his ear was thoroughly cleaned.

“But I don’t know what to do after this.”

“You heat the awl with fire and then pierce it.”

“I failed last time.”

“……Were you trying to pierce His Highness?”

“……Yes.”

Aria was briefly impressed, realizing that Killian was indeed quick-witted. Then, she smiled awkwardly at his glare and heated the awl with fire. A long, thin stream of smoke curled upwards, and when the awl turned bright red, she took it off the flame. She waited for it to cool down while watching Killian’s expression.

“It’s going to hurt.”

“It will if you can’t do it in one go.”

“But why the ear…”

When he looked at her languidly again, Aria swallowed her words. Her goal was to avoid conversation as much as possible and chase him out of here quickly.

“If you can’t pierce it in one go.”

“……”

“We’ll kiss every time you fail.”

“There’s no such thing!”

“There is here.”

Because Killian said that, Aria’s hands began to tremble. But she couldn’t be defeated like this again.

Besides, she still thought he loved Melina. The resentment she felt towards her must have stemmed from a love-hate relationship.

“Young Lady Melina…”

“What if my goal is to kill Melina?”

“Huh?”

Aria was startled and looked directly at him. Killian was calm, unlike before. He asked Aria again with a serious expression.

“What if I want to kill Melina?”

“Why, why…?”

“Because I have to kill her. Didn’t that son of a b*tch tell you the reason?”

“Who is the son of a b*tch?”

“……”

Killian hesitated, unsure if he should say it, then looked at Aria’s lips. They were satisfyingly swollen, as if he had been biting them for a long time. Because of that, he wanted to kiss her again.

But Aria was holding the awl and was frozen, so he didn’t.

“Ask the son of a b*tch instead of me.”

“Who is the son of a b*tch?”

“That son of a b*tch is… Ugh.”

When Killian tried to say something, he couldn’t speak, as if a restriction had been placed on him. He frowned unpleasantly and sighed.

“I can’t say it.”

“……”

Aria also knew this time that he wasn’t joking. But she didn’t know why he couldn’t speak.

“Why?”

“Because I can’t.”

It was something he couldn’t say regardless of his will.

“Aria.”

“Yes.”

“Please, finish piercing my ear.”

“Ah… Yes.”

Aria heated the awl with fire again, then cooled it down and approached Killian’s ear.

“Killian.”

“Yes.”

“It’s going to hurt.”

“Yes.”

He somehow felt that the pain she would inflict would be quite satisfying, so he smiled involuntarily.

As she shifted her weight forward with trembling hands, her lower body leaned forward on his thigh.

He found it amusing that she was unaware of her posture as she approached him, focused as she was, and he was looking forward to the upcoming sting.

He felt the awl touch his ear. It was warm, but it only pressed against his ear, not piercing it.

“I can’t do it…! It won’t pierce.”

“Then, let’s receive the penalty first.”

“Ah…”

He grabbed Aria’s shoulder as she rolled her eyes as if trying to escape and kissed her.
