The sensation of her tiny lips against the tips of his fingers was so delicate and soft that it made him dizzy. He used his fingers to trace the swollen parts that she had been biting countless times.
Each time, Asella’s body trembled, and her grip on his wrist tightened. It was a small force that could easily be shaken off, but Calix, drawn to the tender sensation of her flesh against his skin, let it be.
“Please give me some time to prepare.”
“…”
“I’m not trying to avoid it like last time. I really mean it.”
Asella spoke firmly, although she sniffled. Normally, he would have replied that it was impossible, but for some reason, Calix didn’t want to say that now.
It was when he hesitated, gazing into her eyes, reflecting his own image.
Someone knocked on the door from outside.
“I’m sorry, Your Grace. An urgent letter has arrived from the palace.”
It was Ryzen. Calix frowned at the timing.
‘Of all times.’
He could have ignored the Emperor’s request, but “that matter” was important to Calix as well.
“…”
His gaze fell on Asella. Her blue eyes blinked as if trying to understand the situation, with small teardrops hanging from her long eyelashes.
‘I want a child…’
As she said, it was finally about to happen. He felt a little guilty for not explaining because the schedule had been moved up, but on the other hand, it seemed like a fortunate turn of events.
Once this was over, the pitiful bird with nowhere to go would have no choice but to fly into his cage. It would be trapped in his arms, it’s only lifeline, unable to escape.
This was not the situation he had hoped for from the beginning, but he liked it. Very much.
Calix decided that it was finally time to put an end to what he had been doing.
“I will be leaving soon. Prepare for departure.”
“Yes, Your Grace.”
With that command, he rose slowly to his feet, still not taking his eyes off Asella.
“I had planned to give you a chance today, but unfortunately, things turned out this way.”
He gently brushed against the corner of his wife’s swollen eyes that had turned red. Tears trembled pitifully in her deer-like pupils.
Did this woman know? That this sight strangely stimulated his curiosity, turning a sadistic side he didn’t realize he had? His blood-red eyes glowed ominously.
“Are you disappointed?”
Asella paused for a moment and then softly murmured. He carefully watched as her lips parted slightly and moved delicately. A faint voice followed, like a breath.
“After you return safely…”
“Yeah, I’ll be back.”
Calix loosened his mouth. Then, he began to fasten the loose strap of Asella’s dress that was half undone. Her dress wasn’t fully opened, so he couldn’t see any skin. However, his touch made Asella turn her head away from his gaze.
If anything, it gave him a better view of her flaming red ears.
With Calix’s skillful movements, the ribbon was neatly tied. However, instead of pulling away, he lowered his head again. He gently brushed Asella’s flowing hair behind her ear and whispered.
“I plan to come back with good news soon.”
His low voice carried an unmistakable affection and a hint of lust.
“You can look forward to it.”
