Ryu smirked, curling his lips into a sharp, cold, precise smile that cut like a knife.

“Do you like men that much?”

“…That’s uncalled for.”

Ann frowned, her gaze steady on the man whose eyes burned with intensity. His expression was dark and severe.

“Isn’t it true? Like a madwoman, you’re running from one man to another…”

“What’s wrong with meeting suitors? I’m of marrying age, after all.”

Ann bit her lip as Lennox slowly parted his own.

“…What’s the problem, exactly?”

“What do you mean?” Ann blinked in confusion, her tone defensive. Lennox’s lashes quivered faintly, betraying an unspoken frustration.

Then, like a predator closing in, he reached out, grabbing her and pushing her against the wall.

Ann yelped, squeezing her eyes shut in shock. Before her head could hit the wall, his hand cradled the back of her head. Trembling, she glared up at him.

“You said you didn’t like me,” he said, his voice low and strained.

“I—I don’t understand what you mean,” she stammered, her words flustered and disjointed.

It was clear he was dredging up memories she would rather forget. Her breath hitched, and a deep flush of embarrassment crept over her cheeks. His expression twisted, his frustration evident.

“You clearly said no.”

“Your Majesty…”

“Was I really that repulsive to you?” <<less

King Sibyl van Ricarlo. who left the throne due to his uncle's treason and went into hiding in the secluded and barren territory of Lugdun in Travasta.

The pitiful and beautiful young lady who ens*aved him, Else von Roate.

One rainy early summer, the young and frail only daughter of the lord, Else, got a beautiful boy from a s*ave trader who stopped by the castle.

Not knowing that he was a boy King who had escaped from pursuit, Else gave him the name 'Ian' and fell in love with him endlessly.

However, he...

"Do you like me that much?"

Her blood ran cold. Else looked at him with eyes that seemed as if they would collapse.

"You have to come tonight too."

It didn't matter anymore. She knew that she couldn't recover anymore.

Else would never win his heart. He wouldn't love Else. Still...

"You have to hold me tonight too."

If it was a relationship with a set time limit, if it wasn't going to end soon, Else was determined to cling to him. She was going to take him by force.

Then she thought she wouldn't have any regrets when she died. Even if she died giving birth to a child from a man she didn't even know. She thought she could live her life caressing what Ian had given her until it was worn out.

"Who, who..."

She didn't want to admit that the viridian eyes belonged to the man in her memories.

"Don't you know who I really am?"

It was a gentle question. He grabbed Else's chin, which was soaked in fear, and lifted it up.

Else awkwardly faced him.

"Don't you know who really I am?"

She tried to push away that hand that was holding her chin, which had become even more mature and solid, was sharp as if it would cut her.

Tears flowed ceaselessly every time she blinked.

"Me, me..."

"Kiss me."

A monotonous command cut off Else's words.

As Else, unable to keep her heavy body in check, began to collapse, a large hand came over and grabbed her again.

'Baby... Is it meaningful for you to look for your father now?'

Else looked up at him. The child in her stomach seemed to be rolling its feet. <<less
