I really hate it! (8)
Vlad had broken the wall leading to the hallway with his fist in the treatment room. It was precisely the wall near Marius. Blood gushed from Marius’s head as he was struck by the debris.
Vlad, whose silhouette only reflected through the hazy dust, was literally like a demon king. A hand protruding from the dust grabbed Marius’s neck.
“Argh!”
“Wait, Vlad… Calm down.”
Vlad lifted Marius while Lily shrugged off the dust as she coughed.
“Ugh, this, let me go…!”
“Your Highness.” His voice was darker than ever.
Marius couldn’t even groan in pain and held his breath.
“My wife has said no to you ten times so far. The tenth is now.”
Lily paused. Ten times. He could remember all the times…?
“A little while ago, she told Your Highness that she really didn’t like it. That she really hated you… That’s what she had said to someone called Tristan once before.”
“Ugh… I…”
“It means that Your Highness was very rude to my wife. It seems that the bloodline of the emperor is presumptuous. How dare… ”
Marius looked like a deer bitten by the fangs of a beast. His toes trembled at his instinctive fear.
“Stop it, Vlad. Let go, what if someone sees!” Lily, who was rushing towards them, was stopped by a scream.
“Ah! Here, your neck! The skin is scratched! Your neck is bleeding!”
Marius fell to the floor. As he fell to the floor in a heap, Vlad pushed Ivan towards him. His bright red eyes looking at Lily wandered frantically.
“Lily, get treatment right now…”
“I’m okay. Nothing happened to me.”
The wall that Vlad had broken was a little behind where Marius was standing. Even if the shards had bounced off, it was a position where Marius would have taken it all with his body like a shield.
Vlad licked his lips. His eyes, which had lost their saturation, regained the color of blood. He was to blame for seeing his handprints stained her wrist. Marius didn’t hold it very tightly, but Lily was just too thin.
Turning around in an instant, he quickly grabbed the back of Ivan, who was treating the prince. Even though Ivan was using divine powers, he didn’t mind it and lifted him up and removed him.
Ivan shuddered and cried desperately. “Please save me, madam!”
“Don’t do it, Vlad!” Lily hurried over and grabbed Vlad’s arm. He, who was about to kill the prince, stopped in place.
Marius, who had been sitting on the floor, took a deep breath. He realized that the duke was playing with him like a toy, even in their daytime duel. A little while ago, the duke tried to stop his breathing at once. He could clearly see Vlad slowly turning his head to look down at Lily, who was clinging to his arm.
“Lily. Please let me go.”
Her eyes fluttered anxiously. “There’s no use in saving him this time. I know about the lineage of the emperor. Once I have decided to take his life, how long it would take or whatever method I use, I will get it. Even if I have to lock him up…”
A chilling sensation scratched Lily’s back. There was a clear intent to kill in his indifferent voice.
“There is no end unless I put a standstill to this.” His low voice was like an ax blade. It felt so tight that it was somehow dangerous.
Lily felt her tongue stiffen after a long time. As she struggled to focus, she grabbed his arm even tighter. “No. Don’t judge by that. People never do that…”
“Look behind me, the corner to the right.”
Vlad tilted his head behind him. Lily turned her head and was startled. From a distance, Ingrid watched the scene, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. Since when…
“Indeed, all these damned imperial bloods are longing for you. Also… I should never have shown you,” he muttered.
Lily didn’t know how to react to her husband’s unfamiliar appearance. Just, she desperately grabbed his collar tightly so that she wouldn’t let him go. It didn’t look like Vlad was expecting any reaction from her.
He put his gaze on her face without blinking once. “You are mine. How much I… Waited…” He suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin. As her eyes widened, he swallowed her lips.
“Hmph…!”
Reflexively at the sudden intrusion, she pushed his huge body away, but to no avail. As if leaving a trace, the obsessive kiss continued for a long time. He licked her lips, only letting her go when she got too dizzy.
It was an obvious sign.
