Chapter 12
I covered my lips with my hand just in time. Smooch! His mouth met with the back of my hand. Clo-close call!!! This guy, did he just try to kiss me?!
“Iyuri-san… why did you kiss me? Leave me alone… I’m begging you… just go away. You are the Emperor, so… it would be bad if you touched me.”
I pleaded with him, feeling dizzy. I’m begging you. I’m begging you, go away!
My sense of reason had probably already reached my limit. My medicine was not working at all. Since it has already come to this, should I take more of it?
“But… if I left you as is, your pheromones would reach the candidates. No, the alphas in the Inner Palace would react. These pheromones of yours are very dangerous to you.”
It’s not like I’m emitting them because I want to. Would I get raped if those alphas caught on to my scent?
“Even though you are so close to me… you are enduring it quite well, aren’t you?”
“I told you I do not want to be hated by you, didn’t I?”
He smiled painfully, looking worried. His body gradually started trembling.
“Ha ha, this does not mean you can control yourself… After all, you are a noble alpha.”
He smiled, “It has nothing to do with gender. It is because I like you that I absolutely do not want to be hated by you. However…” said Iyuri-san in a whisper.
He likes me? By “like”, what kind of “like” did he mean?
“Please stop joking… It’s okay, so just leave already. And also call the doctor…”
I did my best to curl up. It became even more painful. What should I do? If I do not get better, I wonder… would I get attacked in this state by the candidates and alphas from the Inner Palace? It would be okay if it was William-sama, but I would absolutely hate it if it was that lady! I would absolutely hate it! I need to stop that from happening! I need to do something by all means!
I mustered all the brainpower I was left with and falteringly reached out for the medicine in the table drawer.
“You will overdose.”
Iyuri-san shook his head and caught my wrists. I told you it’s an emergency!!!
“I have to take more of the medicine… or I won’t get better…!!”
“There is a way to get better.”
Huh?! Really?! Quickly, say it! Don’t be so reluctant!!
“Wha–what is it?”
“You have to be held by me,” he said.
Held by him? What is that?
“It’s sexual intercourse.”
Sexual intercourse? What?!?!
“Im–impossible, it’s impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible!!!!”
I tried to shrink away but wasn’t able to, so I could only open my eyes wide to glare at Iyuri-san.
“Are you stupid?! It’s impossible!! If I did that with the Emperor, I would become a criminal deserving the death penalty! I would rather you kill me than do that! No… I’ll just kill myself! If such a reprehensible thing was done to you by me, it would be bad for all kinds of reasons! It won’t end with just a death penalty for me.”
I feebly cried out. My body immediately reacted.
“What are you talking about? You will not become a criminal! You are my fated pair!”
What?!
“You’re jok–”
“I’m not joking. When I first met you, I saw a red string only I could see. It means you are my fated pair, someone I thought I would never be able to meet in this lifetime. Of course, at first, I was also quite doubtful of that revelation. But, is it possible that…”
A droplet of sweat slid down his cheeks.
E-e-e-even if you say this now! Fated pair?! What a stupid idea! Even though I didn’t see anything? Eh, did he say only he could see it? Fa-fated pair, what was that again? Fated relationship? Was it? Ah, the type where even if you wanted to get away from the other person, you won’t be able to?
No, it can’t be.
If so, why were there other candidates besides me? If we were a fated pair, he would need to choose only me, no? Isn’t that strange?
But what am I, a person of low status, even saying here? I am being too self-centred, too presumptuous.
“In the end, this revelation is just like fortune-telling. It seems that the person’s age could be easily divined through the oracle, but as for whoever it is out of three people, even priests could not tell. That is why everyone from the age of 16 was invited to the Palace.”
“That’s kind of vague, vague…”
My chest felt strangely painful. It’s hot.
“Ollie-san!”
It was getting worse, everything in front of my eyes was now blurred. I wanted to pounce on Iyuri-san. I wanted to pounce and then devour him. I wanted to tear off his iron mask and see his aroused crying face.
I—-! I can’t, I can’t! What am I even saying?!?!
No matter how much I was told I am a bride candidate, we were not even married, and we met only a few weeks ago! But now, all of a sudden, we’re going to do the deed?! If we did it, I would not be able to go back home anymore! I won’t even be able to stay in this country anymore!
So, I can’t do it no matter what! He is the Emperor! A person that’s out of my reach! I insist on my reasoning!!
“Okay, I will just hit my head so I can lose consciousness.”
“?! Ple-please, stop!”
When I tried to move my head to the corner of the table, Iyuri-san paled and quickly supported my head.
I don’t have any choices left anymore! Leave me alone! If you try to force me, I’ll just hit my head!
“Do not… stop me.”
“I’ll stop you! If you did something like hitting your head, and a wrong place was hit, can you imagine what could happen…”
“It doesn’t matter. There is nothing else I can do.”
” …… Ollie-san…… “
“Fuu… ugh!”
My stomach is boiling hot. My breathing feels laboured.
“I did not want to do it… but…”
Iyuri-san caught my cheeks gently with his big hands and met my eyes as if he made up his mind on something.
Wha-what are you doing?! Do you want to smooch me again?
As expected, his face got closer, and without giving me time to stop him, his soft lips overlapped with mine; this time he actually kissed me.
Fuwaa! My first kiss!
What’s more, his tongue also came out? And it went inside my mouth. Hick—-!
He moved his tongue inside my mouth as if to entangle it with mine. His saliva mixed with mine as he kissed me.
In that instant, my body became numb as if paralysed. To make matters worse, my voice would not come out!
I opened and closed my mouth but not a sound would come out. Why?! What happened?! I suddenly could no longer speak after we kissed! Hey! Smooch thief! Explain yourself!
“I’m sorry. My saliva can immobilise a person if I strongly wish for it. Because I have never used it before, it was either going to be a hit or miss. I did not want to embrace you in this way. But there is no time to waste. Please forgive me.”
Haa?!?! What is this unique skill?! Is it because he’s a noble alpha? Amazing! He’s a high-grade alpha without a doubt!
No, this is not a time to think of these things! Think of something useful to get out of this situation!
Release me—!
Hmm—!
My voice won’t come out—!
Iyuri-san quickly stripped me of my clothes in silence.
Kya—!
This guy, he’s gonna hold me?! Stop–, I objected with my eyes.
Iyuri-san cast down his eyes and let out a small sigh as if to calm down his desperate breathing. He clenched his hands so tight that his knuckles turned white. Tiny droplets of sweat oozed one by one. And then, he slowly lifted his head, and his eyes sharply glinted with the light of a beast hunting its prey.
