Chapter 778 – 778. Yggdrasil (6)
Squeeze…
“Huh… ?”
Stella’s eyelids trembled and went up at the sound of the flowing stream.
And as soon as she opened her eyes, Stella smiled.
It was a beautiful sight.
Four trees formed a bathtub, and warm water continued to flow down from the top of the tree trunk, calming Stella’s mind.
But that was only for a moment.
“Huh… ?”
The moment Stella inhaled, a sticky scent he had never smelled before penetrated his nostrils.
The scent felt sticky, as if it were sticking to the olfactory cells in the nostrils.
Even Stella’s head was filled with that sticky scent, making her dazed.
Stella muttered in a daze, lost in her sleep and the sticky scent.
“What… What…”
It was a sensation he felt for the first time in his three hundred years of life.
“How much time has passed… ?”
Stella said so, but he had no intention of checking the time.
Because it was too lazy.
Arbos was always solemn in the kingdom, and since he kept his cool, energy consumption was severe.
In contrast, there was no need to notice others here.
“Little bit more… Let’s sit a little longer and finish.”
Stella opened his mouth blankly with a languid look on his face and admired the enchanting sight of the bathtub in front of him.
Stella was able to come to her senses after being absent-minded for about half an hour.
But it was all about getting rid of the drowsiness.
She hadn’t yet washed the sticky scent through her nostrils and into her hair.
“Whoa… Is it because I slept in the bathtub…”
Stella muttered to herself as she pulled her body out of her bathtub.
“Huh…”
The bathroom was full of hot steam, but it was like cold to Stella, who had been in the hot tub for a long time.
But she was also brought to her senses to some extent thanks to that chilly vapor.
“Come to think of it, she didn’t even wash before entering the bathtub. What… Changing the order doesn’t mean big things happen.”
That was the moment Stella stepped out of her bathtub.
“Ouch… !?”
Stella covered her mouth with her hand in surprise as soon as her burp came out of her mouth.
How many times in her life has she accidentally burped?
For once, Stella didn’t have that kind of experience left in her memory.
Even if he treats or abuses the attendant who has been by his side all his life, Stella will never show his private parts.
Stella said that she had accidentally burped, and her displeasure began to ripple through her body.
However, another problem appeared that could easily erase her unpleasant feelings.
“My… Smell…”
There was a very fishy smell coming from the burp.
And at the same time, her skinny belly swelled up a little to the point where her ribs were exposed until just before her, and she even felt full.
“What… What… ? Was there a problem with the food you ate with Weatherlock today?”
Stella began to caress her belly, feeling an unknown feeling of fullness.
At that moment again…
“Wow!?”
A fishy scent was emanating from her throat.
“Ugh… The food I just ate… It must have been because I fell asleep in the bathtub.”
With that conclusion, Stella began to take her steps.
She headed for a tree where water cascaded down like a waterfall.
Unlike the trees that make up the bathtub, the tree Stella placed in front of her was like a shower that existed to wash her body.
The turquoise water stream had a clear and sacred energy like bathtub water.
Stella put her body in the pouring essence and began to wash her body properly.
But as she washed it off, she noticed something odd.
As soon as…
“What… Why is my hair so tangled… ?”
Her hair, which she was so proud of, was a mess.
To an outsider, her hair was just as beautiful as before, but in Stella’s eyes it was a mess.
“Seed… Annoying…”
Stella, in her natural tantrum, began to trim her hair.
But as she started to trim her hair, a tremendous scent began to emanate from her hair and from her fingers trimming her hair.
“Uh… Hmm…”
The scent began to calm Stella’s irritation.
It wasn’t a bad scent.
But Stella shook her head nonetheless and began to wash her hair.
“This kind of heavy scent doesn’t suit me.”
Stella preferred her own emerald green hair and the neat, fresh, light scent that went with her.
Compared to that, the scent that was giving off now was too heavy.
She did so, and after taking dozens of minutes, she was able to get some of the scent off her hair.
The scent didn’t completely go away, but at least I was able to restore my hair to its original state.
“What… Is this because I fell asleep in the bathtub?”
Stella had never fallen asleep in her bathtub before.
Stella blamed all the problems with her body on her falling asleep in the bathtub.
“Be careful sleeping in the bathtub.”
Stella finished her bath with that conclusion.
..
..
Stella stared at the visitor to her room with a displeased expression.
Seong Soo-ho asked Stella with a puzzled expression.
“What’s wrong with your expression?”
“I think it’s a situation where I should ask, right? What’s wrong with your outfit?”
The first reason why Stella’s planting is uncomfortable.
It was because Sung Soo-ho’s outfit was different from yesterday.
He was wearing a suit, not an armor made in Arbos.
Seong Soo-ho shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Stella, who was dressed up in displeasure.
“Oh, that was so inconvenient. And people notice You don’t like to stand out, so I put on a suit that suits you.”
“…”
Arvos’s silver armor was definitely a standout outfit.
However, despite Seongsuho’s excuses, Stella’s feelings were not relieved.
He didn’t like the attitude of the person escorting him not being comfortable with it.
However, Stella did not blindly criticize Seongsuho.
“… Great. Let’s go.”
Stella turned his head and headed for the carriage waiting outside the hotel like Seongsuho.
The reason Stella passed without saying anything was simple.
‘I need to know how to step back in order to get something else like the bathroom.’
Stella managed to trick Seongsuho yesterday and get the bathroom without any damage.
But she, Stella, was not a woman who was content with just one bathroom.
‘I have to be patient to get what I want.’
Her stella’s full greed was what made her persevere.
It was at this moment that Stella went down the stairs together, paying attention to the sound of Seongsuho’s footsteps following her.
“Ouch… !?”
“?”
Her burp had risen because she had tilted her upper body slightly forward.
Stella choked her momentary burp, then began to speak gibberish in a panicked voice.
“Ah… I always like the sunsets here.”
“Ah… Not pretty.”
Stella was relieved by Sung Soo-ho’s answer.
She seemed oblivious to the fact that she had burped.
‘Whoa…’
Stella let out a sigh of relief as she recalled last night.
She couldn’t sleep at all because her oscillations in her stomach, as if full of liquid, were bothering her.
Even the fishy belching didn’t stop, it kept coming out.
Because of that, Stella couldn’t sleep properly, and her uneasy stomach continued into the next day.
Ironically, Stella attributed the cause of her bloated stomach to something else.
‘The bathroom on the royal floor is nice, but the bedroom is also important.’
It was just a dragonfly.
‘If I had slept in the main bedroom, I would have fallen asleep quickly no matter how uncomfortable it was. I’ll have to take the bedroom as well.’
Stella started thinking about how to get Seong Soo-ho to take her main bedroom.
However, her troubles did not last long.
Arriving at the waiting carriage just in time, Seong Soo-ho reached out in a formal pose as soon as he saw Stella’s eyes.
Seong Soo-ho wore a suit, but his hands were bare with nothing on.
“Catch.”
“… At times like this, please be polite in your words and actions.”
Seong Soo-ho shrugged his shoulders at Stella’s complaint and did not respond.
‘Whoa… Be patient If I put up with it for a week, I’ll never see him again.’
Stella thought so and she placed her hand on the palm of the Seongsuho.
That was the moment when I was about to hold her hand and climb into the carriage.
Parts Tsutsut!
“Huh!?”
A foreign sensation that had never been felt in three hundred years was transmitted through the palm of the hand.
When Stella let out her groan in an awkward position with only her feet on the carriage, Seongsu-ho asked with a worried expression.
“What’s the matter? Are you okay?”
“Ah… It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Seeing Seongsu-ho’s worried look, Stella hurriedly regained her senses and got on the carriage.
After that, Sung Soo-ho followed and got into the carriage, and the carriage started toward the Weatherlock family just like yesterday.
As soon as the carriage moved, Seong Soo-ho asked Stella again with a worried expression.
“Are you okay? Have you sprained your feet?”
“… No. It’s not like that.”
Stella was a little reminded of Seong Soo-ho’s worries.
‘Heh… There is also a figure like that.’
Even if people do well 99 times, if they make a mistake once, they will be disappointed with that one mistake.
Elves were no different from humans.
Stella was filled with satisfaction when she saw Sung Soo-ho worrying about her.
Stella was satisfied with Sung Soo-ho’s worried expression and began to look at his hand.
‘… What is it?’
Stella began to recall the feeling of holding hands with Sung Soo-ho.
Obviously, he only held hands with Seong Su-ho, but a shudder flowed through his entire body.
Today was the third day that I had been escorted by Sung Soo-ho.
I had held Seong Soo-ho’s hand every time I got on and off the carriage for two days, but I had never felt a thrill like today.
And Stella knew right away why.
‘Hand…’
Seong Soo-ho had been holding hands with Stella while wearing gloves.
But today it was bare-handed.
The chastity magic didn’t block the basic touch.
Above all, it wasn’t until she had never even held hands with a man.
Rather, it was to the point of dealing with countless nobles who rushed to grab her hand.
‘No way…’
Stella, for a moment, thought that Seongsu-ho might not have done something strange to her palm.
But she quickly shook her head and smiled.
‘If he had done something strange, the warning light would have come on.’
As Stella thinks, if Seongsuho did something with bad intentions to Stella, her warning jewel would have been created.
However, it was neat on top of Seong Soo-ho’s head.
Although the right of pardon could erase the warning jewel, there was no function to prevent the warning jewel from suddenly popping out.
‘Just… It must be because I’m not in good shape.’
Stella attributed her cause to the state of her own body, recalling her feelings from earlier.
‘…’
A thrill that spreads throughout the body.
How many times have you experienced the thrill of just holding someone’s hand?
Even Stella had never in her three hundred years lived a feeling comparable to the thrill she had felt a moment before.
Stella felt the thrill she had never felt before…
‘If we hold hands again…’
She wanted to feel it again.
Stella was not wary of the thrill she felt for the first time in her life, but rather began to be possessed by her seduction.
But Stella immediately shook her head and began to brush her thoughts away.
‘It must be because of the static electricity. And that I want to join hands with humans…’
Stella began to feel embarrassed at the fact that she harbored feelings that she wanted to hold hands with Sung Soo-ho, even if only for a moment.
As the silence passed, he was able to reach the Wedlock family.
The moment arrived when she had to get off the carriage again.
Seong Soo-ho confirmed that the carriage had arrived at the Wedlock family, got off first, and stretched out his hand toward Stella.
And then…
“Hey, I thought you weren’t feeling well earlier. Get down carefully.”
It was the first time he said words of consideration.
Seong Soo-ho had been very rude to Stella, let alone a friendly attitude.
Seongsuho was the first to worry about her with her caring heart.
And, ironically, Seong Soo-ho’s consideration…
Pounding!
“Flaw…”
It made Stella’s heart beat.
However, Stella frowned at her slightly beating heart, rather hurting her pride.
‘Joy… Do you think I’ll forgive the things that happened before just because I’m here now and be nice to you?’
After Stella calmed her heart with coolness, she stretched out her hand to Sung Soo-ho.
And this time, let’s hold Seong Soo-ho’s hand, without fail…
Parts Tsutsut!
“Huh!?”
A shiver ran through her whole body.
Stella stumbled as she felt such a thrill, but Seongsu-ho held his hand rather tightly and was able to get out of the carriage.
“What. Would you like to go back if you feel unwell?”
“… No.”
Stella immediately responded with a refusal to Seong Su-ho’s words as if complaining.
But he himself did not know.
“Hey.”
“Why?”
“How long will you hold my hand?”
“!?”
Stella was holding Seong Su-ho’s hand tightly while complaining.
Surprised, she hurriedly retrieved her hand and said to Seong Su-ho.
“I-I’ll be back from eating, so wait here.”
“Where am I going to run away? Don’t worry and go quickly.”
“… Joy.”
Stella turned her head and left Seongsu Lake, guided by the Wedlock family attendant.
As Stella moved away from Seong Soo-ho, she began to touch the hand she held with Seong Soo-ho.
‘What the hell is it?’
The thrill I felt for the first time in my life.
But that thrill was now gone.
The cause, no matter who sees it, was Seongsuho.
But Stella thought, she tried to deny it.
‘It could be because I’m tired. When I go back, I will hold her hand again. I guess I can check it again then.’
Stella involuntarily hoped that her meal would be finished soon, and she began to move her steps quickly.
..
..
Patsutsutsutsut!
“Huh… !?”
This time, without fail, a shudder flowed through his body through the hand he held with Sung Soo-ho.
‘My, why am I to such a person…’
Stella couldn’t possibly accept this phenomenon.
Holding a human hand and feeling a thrill close to pleasure?
Beyond hurting her self-esteem, she felt a sense of self-defeating and suicidal thoughts.
Ironically, however, Stella’s sense of self-doubt feeds right into her other feelings.
As soon as…
“What? Are you really unwell?”
“…”
It was the desire to have Sung Soo-ho’s hand.
Stella was escorted by the holy water and got off the carriage, but he did not let go of his hand.
Stella began to feel a desire like a royal bathroom in Sung Soo-ho’s hand.
‘I’ll leave here in about ten days anyway. At that time, you will never have to face this man in his entire life. And just as there is a justification…’
Stella said to Seong Soo-ho with a determined expression while being caught up in such desire.
“Do you have time today?”
“Huh? It’s time, it’s a lot, but…”
Seong Soo-ho was looking at Stella with a worried expression unlike usual.
Stella was satisfied with Sung Soo-ho’s appearance and said to him while holding his hand.
“Then follow me to my room. You have work to do.”
