Ch 65
“Ugh……!”
Killian scratched and tore off the stocking on Aria’s thigh with his fingernails. It tore wherever his hand touched, and she trembled, startled by the way he dug his fingers in and scraped at her skin.
Even so, she tried to resist by twisting her whole body as he moved so violently as if he would devour her breath. But it was no use. Unlike what her head was trying to reject, her body didn’t dislike Killian’s touch.
When Aria unconsciously responded to him, Killian dug in further. He pressed down on her soft flesh and traced the roof of her mouth. Then, he brushed against the soft mucous membrane inside her cheek and intertwined deeply again.
“Huuu……”
Aria squeezed her eyes shut, trying to avoid his gaze. But he didn’t seem to allow it, pressing down on her hand very tightly.
He looked down at Aria, who was pinned beneath him, her hands bound, twisting her body in a useless resistance, with a look of ecstasy. The stockings she was wearing were already full of holes from where his hands had touched them. And beneath the holes, her skin was flushed red, as if marked by his touch.
“Haaah.”
He tormented her by gnawing at her thigh with his fingernails. Aria felt ticklish and strangely aroused as he scratched her thigh.
“Kill, ugh……!”
Killian knew what she was about to say to stop him, so he bit the impudent flesh and tormented her again.
Aria struggled to resist Killian, who was teasing her by biting and releasing her. But as if her efforts were ridiculous, he didn’t let her go for a long time. Aria’s captured wrist was held by him so tightly that it was white and numb.
“Ugh.”
She felt his hand undoing the garter on her thigh and was horrified.
“Ugh……!”
And finally, as if she had regained her senses, she bit his lip. It wasn’t just his lip she bit. She bit the flesh inside his mouth as well.
Unlike her plan, which was that Killian would be surprised and move away from her, he didn’t stop exploring her insides even though blood was coming from his flesh. Her mouth, completely pressed into every corner by him as if being conquered, had nowhere that his saliva hadn’t touched.
“Huuu……”
He moved away from her when he was satisfied.
Her jaw was sore from how intensely he had explored her. The hollow groove below her ear ached as if an electric current was flowing through it.
“Killian, you really……”
“I like it when you say ‘you.’ But it would be better if you called me ‘darling’.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Yes.”
He looked at Aria’s lips, which were glistening with his saliva, with satisfaction, then ran his tongue over his own mouth. Because her saliva would be on his lips as well.
“How can you do this when you have a fiancée you broke off the engagement with not long ago?”
“That’s in the past.”
“Ha, but……!”
“Aria, you should break off your engagement too. We’ve kissed twice now.”
“Both times, Killian did it as he pleased……!”
“Aria initiated one of them.”
“Ah……”
She remembered kissing him as if she were possessed. But he said that didn’t count as a kiss because it was on her cheek.
“Do you think I would do that?”
“Yes.”
“……..”
Aria was speechless again at his brazen words. Then, confused by the happy look on his face as he smiled at her, she unconsciously continued.
“I want Your Highness to become the Emperor……”
“What’s so good about being an Empress?”
“She’s the highest person in the empire.”
“Then what if I seize the throne?”
“……..”
Aria looked up at him with a frightened face. Because she knew he wasn’t joking.
In the original story, when Melina falls in love with the Crown Prince Lionell, Killian aims for the throne to get her back.
The current Killian was the one who killed the real Killian, the enemy of his family, and the late Duke Loenbert, and inherited the title. But the real Killian was a distant member of the Imperial Family.
“Why do you have that look on your face?”
“I don’t want Killian to become the Emperor.”
“Why not?”
“I hate being the Emperor’s wife the most!”
Killian couldn’t believe Aria’s words that she didn’t want to be the Emperor’s wife when she had said she would marry Lionell.
“Do you like His Highness that much? Enough to lie to me?”
“What…… Ah……! Yes!”
Aria was flustered by what he said and almost said something she shouldn’t have, but stopped. And after taking a deep breath, she spoke.
“St, still, it would be better to marry a Duke!”
“……..”
Aria said that, unable to overcome her mind, which was becoming dazed by fear and pleasure.
He wasn’t in a better mood even at those words. Aria’s dress was disheveled between his legs. He wanted to see Aria’s bare skin beyond the rough, vinyl-like stocking he had touched.
“If you become a Duchess, you can’t be a concubine.”
“But I heard it’s possible.”
“Legally, yes. But I won’t allow it.”
She felt strange because it seemed like he was trying to seduce her again. She should hate it, but she unconsciously forgets to refuse.
Even though she thinks she shouldn’t, when he acts affectionately to use her, she gets caught up in him to an extent she can’t understand herself.
“I’m going to have a lot of concubines.”
“……..”
“About ten?”
“Then there will be ten corpses.”
“You’re crazy!”
“Yes.”
Aria was surprised that his reaction, which he was doing to use her, was more extreme than she had thought. Moreover, the smile he had been wearing as if he was joking had completely disappeared, and he was glaring at her.
‘If only his eyes weren’t this violet color.’
She wouldn’t have felt strange every time she met his gaze.
“Come to think of it, I don’t want to marry anyone. I’ll just have 10 concubines.”
“……..”
“When I become a Duke.”
“If the Dolorein family falls, you’ll want to become the Duchess of Loenbert.”
“How does that happen?”
“It will happen.”
Killian finally returned to his playful expression. But his words didn’t match his face at all. Aria looked at him, wondering if he was serious, and then, realizing that he was, she just gaped.
“It’s a lie that I kissed Melina.”
“Ah……”
“But I didn’t expect you to be so nonchalant about it.”
He grabbed her impudent mouth with his thumb and forefinger. Soon, he released her arms that had been pinned down by him.
But Aria still felt the heavy weight of his thick, cage-like arms that had imprisoned her.
“Killian.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go now. We kissed.”
“I can’t because there’s one more thing I want to do.”
“……..”
Aria didn’t know what he would ask for next. But she could guess that it would definitely be something that would put her in a difficult position.
So she didn’t want to answer.
“Pierce my ear.”
“Excuse me?”
“Just like His Highness pierced Aria’s ear, pierce mine too.”
“Why……”
“And don’t pierce His Highness’s ear.”
As expected, Killian seemed to be taking revenge for not being able to come in from the balcony because of her. Even though it was because of Killian that she had willingly pierced her ear back then.
Killian is just being petty like this.
“No.”
“……..”
“Go now. I did what you wanted.”
“You did what I wanted?”
“Yes.”
Killian said, sneering at her. And he narrowed the distance until their noses touched, glaring at Aria.
“If I did what I wanted, Aria wouldn’t be able to get out of this bed.”
“Are you going to hit me or something?”
“Huh.”
He thought that if Aria was pretending not to know, her acting was excellent. Because he almost explained it to her without realizing it.
“I will. It wouldn’t be bad to punish you down here.”
“Kyaa!”
Aria twisted her body as he tried to put his hand under her skirt. Because of that, Killian’s hand got twisted and stuck between Aria’s thighs, and he couldn’t pull it out. He had only intended to scare her, but it had turned out that way because she had moved so violently.
Maybe she was really a master manipulator. She was making him so anxious while pretending not to know anything.
Besides, she was letting him touch her so naturally.
He was angry at Aria’s actions.
He didn’t know the reason, but when he thought about the many men she might have been with while learning these actions.
Thud―
“P, pull your hand away!”
“You have to spread your legs for my hand to come out.”
“How can you say such a shameless thing……!”
“Ha.”
Killian lamented the patience he had had for not finding out how many men she had brought into this bedroom. Back then, he felt like he would lose to her the moment he found out about her men, so he hadn’t done it.
But now, he couldn’t think about such things.
“How many men have you brought into this bedroom?”
“Excuse me?”
“Tell me honestly. Then I’ll forgive you.”
“Killian?”
Aria couldn’t understand why he was acting like this. He had asked her to pierce his ear, but now he was acting threatening.
“I don’t know.”
“Ten? No, ten would be too few. Twenty?”
“……..”
“Maybe thirty?”
“……..”
“Forty then.”
He said it as if he was testing her, but Aria couldn’t answer. Because she didn’t know at all.
“Why does it matter how many there are?”
When Aria asked that, he really thought that there were forty men she had brought into this bedroom.
“You’re right. Why does it matter? I’m going to kill them all anyway.”
