Chapter 350 – The Princess Can’t Sleep (2)
“… Late. Liana Lumenhark.”
The moment she saw Eugene’s face, she felt like she was about to burst into tears, so Riana raised her head and said,
“…Why…Still…Are…”
“Because I said wait.”
“I… Feel… Late…! I told you not to wait!”
“I didn’t say I would.”
Liana bit her lip at Eugene’s mischievous answer.
“…I…Know…When I’ll be back…”
“I was thinking of waiting for you to come, so it’s okay.”
“Really… Stupid..No…Ah!…Now…Wait…Oh…Don’t come…!”
Seeing Eugene walking this way, Liana, who belatedly realized her own condition, hurriedly tidied up her body, but… That was not enough to solve it.
“I… I… Really didn’t expect to be waiting… Her hair… And her face are all messed up…”
She didn’t want to show Yujin this disheveled appearance…
However, Eugene didn’t seem to care at all, so she took a step further and said,
“…There are many things I want to say, but right now we’re at a banquet. So, for now…”
Bathed in the moonlight pouring in from the window, Eugene held out her hand.
“Would you like to dance a song with me?”
“…”
Yes, gladly.
That easy word doesn’t come out of her mouth for some reason.
“…Yes.”
After opening and closing her mouth several times, Liana, who barely answered without shedding tears, carefully placed her trembling hand on top of Eugene’s.
Jeobeok─ Jeokbeok─
It’s a dark ballroom without a band or spectators… But Eugene was there.
Her spine straight, her knees slightly loose, her chest to chest, her Eugene’s arm wrapped around Liana’s back, her Liana’s left hand gently resting on Eugene’s shoulder.
A posture so basic that you can do it even with your eyes closed.
But she was more nervous than ever, and Riana took her first steps cautiously.
“…Ahah ♪”
Contrary to concerns, the tension was fleeting.
Relying on the moonlight and a single candle, Liana, who quickly got used to it, enjoys the ball to the fullest only for the two of them.
A smile that floats across your face.
As of now, nothing else comes to mind.
I am so happy and happy that I can only hope that this moment lasts forever.
But…
As always, happy times end too quickly.
─Blame
If she held on any longer, it seemed that she would not be able to fall off, so as soon as her dance was over, she quickly backed away and Liana lightly grabbed the tip of her skirt and greeted her.
“Ahahahaha..!! Eugene is worse at dancing than I thought.”
“…It’s not that I can’t dance, it’s that Liana dances very well.”
“Um… She missed a beat twice, so minus 20, and then stepped on her foot once, so an extra minus 15, total minus 35!”
“…The score is too salty. I was good at this without music.”
“Ahahahaha!! Is it? But… It’s Eugene. 1 million bonus points… So the total score is 10 million!! Huh! That’s the high point! Voila! The prize is… A beautiful princess!”
Liana ran up to her and took her in her arms, and Eugene smiled bitterly at her score measurement, which was so selfish.
As Liana closed her eyes for a while and leaned against her, Eugene carefully opened her mouth.
“…Did you buy the bag well?”
“Um… As you can see, it’s a bang again. I couldn’t buy it because there were too many people.”
Swoop- Swoop-
After hearing her answer, Eugene took out her handkerchief and wiped Riana’s face, which was a mess of sweat and dirt.
“…Sorry.”
“Huh? What? Ah! Did you step on it? No, it’s okay~♬ It was a difficult step? You did well that you only stepped on it once!”
“No… No, I’m sorry about that. Sorry for realizing it so late…”
At her Eugene’s apology, Liana put her finger on her cheek and tilted her head ignorantly.
“…Eh?…I don’t know what Eugene is talking about…”
“Liana, I am serious. Next time something like this happens… Then I’ll go with you.”
“…”
Seeing Eugene’s eyes as if she already knew everything, she realized that it would be useless to try to return her words any further.
“…How did you know?”
“I asked Melfisa. …If you think about it, it’s natural. Liana went out on her own, so there’s no way I wouldn’t be able to buy her luxury goods.”
“…Hmm. I asked Melfisa to keep it a secret.”
“I’m sorry, but Melfisa likes me better than Riana.”
“Haa… Really… I got caught…”
Liana pursed her lips, but she said yes and she didn’t mean to blame Mel Pisa.
She is no other person, and if Eugene asks directly, she will have no choice but to answer as Mel Pisa.
Rather, she should be grateful that she kept her secret until now.
Leah, who escaped from her arms, said with a small smile.
“…Hey? I’m fine, so don’t worry ♪ To be honest, even now, I just came here on a whim, right? Am I the princess? I’m sick of banquets like this.”
“But you never went out with me. I want to go out with Liana. Isn’t that Liana?”
“…Hmm, if you keep saying things like that… You won’t be able to handle it?”
Emotions have risen to a point where they are hard to suppress, but if you keep saying things like that… There’s nothing to say even if the wicked witch attacks you.
“…Eugene. Just like you chose to save me, this is what I chose to do. You don’t have to get dirty because of me.”
Fighting monsters is the hero’s job, killing humans is the witch’s job.
No matter how filthy and worthless her opponent is, if it’s Eugene, she will take responsibility for the life she took.
There is no need for Eugene to suffer because of such people.
“Even if something like this happens in the future, I will take care of it… Let’s keep tonight’s matter a secret between the two of us. Yeah, that would be great! ♪ I didn’t see anything… Huh? Hmm? Yujina… Is… Close…?… The same… To?”
Jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-jerk-
At that time, when Eugene with a scary expression approaches her, Liana, feeling the unusual atmosphere, naturally steps back.
Bang-!
Eugene, who drove Liana to the wall like that, said in a low voice.
“…Since a while ago, I’ve been talking a lot.”
“Yu… Eugene?”
“Do you remember what I said when I first decided to hold you?”
Liana nodded her head at Eugene’s coercive tone.
“…Yes…”
How can I forget
The worst confession that made the wicked witch fall in love with her.
“…He said he…Tame…No…Me…Tame…”
“Yes, I said I would tame you.”
Sigh-
When Eugene’s fingertips touch the tip of her chin, her body trembles uncontrollably.
“…Sobbing.”
“…When I said I would tame you, I meant to accept all of you. But I don’t have to get dirty too?”
Eugene grabbed her chin and growled lowly as he glared at Riana’s eyes.
“Don’t be ridiculous. Liana. From the first time I embraced you, we have already become accomplices. So… Don’t ever think about handling it alone again.”
“…”
Eugene’s words that she can shine brightly just by looking at her, but will be dirty with me until the end…
“What are you doing? Answer me if you understand Liana Lumenhark.”
I am so happy and in pain that I feel like my heart will break.
“Yes… My… Master.”
The moment when Rihanna finally admits to being an accomplice in her low voice.
Thump – thump –
I feel my heart beating wildly like never before.
‘..I…I…Why…?’
The corners of her mouth twitch uncontrollably, and she is afraid to look at Eugene’s face.
What should I call this feeling overflowing from her heart?
“…Yeah, that’s enough.”
She was aware that she loved Eugene from a long time ago.
But…
Something is different now.
It feels like you have crossed a line that shouldn’t be crossed.
Heart-! Heart-! Heart-! Heart-! Heart-! Heart-! Heart-! Heart-!
‘This…This!…Danger…Is…!!’
Not long ago, in a Q&A with Eugene, Riana said that her deepest emotion was hatred.
It’s not a lie.
At that time, it was more important to get rid of Eugene’s enemies than to love him.
…But not anymore.
If you ask me again now, I can’t come up with an answer other than love.
‘…Why…! Why…Why…Really…!!’
Riana’s pulse and body temperature rise rapidly, and in her head, a rainbow-colored fantasy land unfolds in her head, where Eugene rides a white horse and flies through the sky.
‘That… Sober… Get it…! Liana…Lumen Hark!!..Now..What…Nonsense…Imagining…!!…’
It was Liana who had maintained her self despite the constant voices in her head, but she couldn’t quite keep her sanity now.
“…Are you okay?”
“Heeep…!!♥”
Fluttering-
Just the fact that Eugene put his hand on her shoulder made her legs loosen up.
A sense of full mental fulfillment… Different from sexual pleasure.
“Ah… It must have been very difficult. I’ll hug you to your room, so take a break.”
“…Now…Now…Sleep…Wait…Wait…!”
Even just lightly putting my hand on her shoulder releases my strength like this, but how the hell would I do if I were to be held in her arms…
“…Ssssscha!”
‘──────────!!?!?!♥♥♥♥’
The moment Eugene embraced her princess, Liana’s hair broke.
Happy, happy, happy, happy.
My head fills with happiness as if I forgot how to emit only emotions other than happiness.
‘…I…I…Uh…What should I do…♥’
I’ve never been drunk, but if I did, I’m sure it would feel like this.
My vision is spinning, my heart is about to explode, my head is dizzy… But I am so happy and joyful.
‘…Joe…Just a little bit…♥’
Even now, even though I’m so happy that I can’t control my body, the moment I tried to grab the collar with my hand, hoping to get closer to Yujin…
“I’m here.”
“Uh…?”
It feels like less than 10 seconds have passed, but I arrived at the front of the room before I knew it.
“Then, get some rest. See you later.”
Riana reflexively shouted at the sight of Eugene opening the door and leaving immediately.
“…Car!!”
“…Yes?”
“Here… Wait… Drink… Tea… And go!!”
