Oscar sat on the window sill and watched Lucian and Rachel.
Lucian glanced at him, still in the form of a fox, for a moment before ignoring him.
That was…
“Knngg.”
“Kkureuk.” (Let’s go.)
Even though Damian hovered around him and urged him to go, Oscar couldn’t take his eyes off them.
…Does sucking the finger taste good?
The white fox tilted his head to the side. Oscar thought as he watched Lucian suck Rachel’s fingers as stubbornly as he did when he ate meat. Perhaps, the master’s fingers were somehow delicious. But if he bit, would it hurt? Wouldn’t it hurt to suck on something like that?
Rachel’s face, filled with the golden eyes, was dyed red.
At the sight of his master he had never seen before, Oscar couldn’t take his eyes off her as if possessed.
“Kkureuk.” (Come on.)
“Kong-kong!” (Ah, wait.)
Lucian and Rachel gazed at each other for a moment before disappearing disappeared under the back of the sofa. At that, Oscar was so curious that he couldn’t leave. Why were they lying on the sofa together?
They were just sucking it deliciously until a while ago?
Were they done sucking it all already?
The little white fox’s head continued to tilt left and right. With each tilt, the red jewel in one of his ears fluttered. The red eyes, as beautiful as jewels tenaciously stared at the sofa. He wanted to get up close and see what the two of them were doing.
Then, he drooled.
Wow, he must have really wanted to eat.
Oscar was restless and sprinted around the window sill. He wanted to eat too, Master’s finger. Somehow, he thought it would be sweet, like melon-flavored candy. Oh, he should have asked her to buy him some melon-flavored candy.
When could he ask her to buy it?
When could they go hunting together?
When could they have tea together…?
WHEN…
Could only he and the master be together?
“Kkureuk.”
“Kong!”
He was annoyed with Damian today. He thought it was because Damian was always with him, though now, he didn’t know why he was bothering him so much. Feeling sad, Oscar ran along the window sill, and he said to Damian, who was slowly following him.
“Kong-kong!” (Let’s train!)
…If he could help his master like he did today, wouldn’t he be able to do the same as the master’s brother?
…He would work harder to protect his master’s magic. Wouldn’t the master love him more than his brother?
Not knowing that Damian’s pale wood eyes had darkened, Oscar ran briskly.
He thought it would be nice to be with the master forever.
“Kong-kong!” (Let’s do it now!)

Noah woke up from a nap. After finishing his father’s funeral, the collateral families began to be more blatant. They pressed him hard as if there was something they believed in. It was really dissatisfying that commoners put pressure on him, who was a noble.
“Lucian seems to have lost interest?”
Noah, who had to worry not only about the collateral family but also Lucian, muttered a little. Even though it was good that nothing happened, the thought that Lucian had lost interest in him made him sad for nothing.
“We have spent time together at the salon, aren’t he too cold-hearted?”
Then, Kylus spoke resentfully.
“What on earth did you say to make Lucian so angry?”
Still annoyed by Kylus for not telling him what happened that day, Noah just wheezed and didn’t call him.
One way or another, Kylus was the only one who could help him.
“Ha… It looks like I’m stuck forward and behind. Why do I have to live like this?”
Noah’s eyes, as he sat with his back on the head of his bed, breathing heavily and turned red for a moment.
“Phew, I can go out on my own now.”
Noah, who had a melancholic expression just a moment ago, got up from the bed with a sly smile.
“Whenever you beg for help, you can’t blame me now. My descendant.”
He gently brushed his hair, and suddenly his wavy hair became cumbersome.
“Hey, what’s with this hairstyle? When you become a baron, you must be dignified.”
Although it was early in the morning, Kylus felt rather refreshed. Since he had been a knight, even though it had been a long time since his death, he continued to follow the habits of his lifetime.
“Good. After all, it will soon become my body, so I need to practice a bit and increase my stamina. How can you seduce a beautiful girl without a muscle? This only attracts people who enjoy men.”
He clicked his tongue and left the room in light clothing. Although it had changed a lot from when he lived, he still remembered the Prince he had met before as he wandered around this place that was like his home.
“Hmm, I really didn’t expect him to come.”
Kylus smiled proudly as if he had just regained his ability. What he foresaw could change a little, but never completely.
…The only variable was the Duke’s sibling.
Still, recently he had a dream of foreknowledge. A dream in which Count Erland, whom the Prince had asked to find, was heading somewhere.
“Hmm, but it looks like I’ve seen her face a lot…”
Kylus ran into the baron’s old butler while hurriedly heading to the dance hall.
“Baron. Where are you going at this early hour?”
“Well, it’s nothing. Just for a moment in the training ground?”
The old butler widened his eyes for a moment when he saw Noah reacting roughly with a touchy attitude, but he quickly managed his expression skillfully.
“Then, I’ll bring towels and something to drink.”
“Yes. Please.”
After answering, Kylus came out of his mansion. The fresh morning air made him feel better.
“If the Prince is interested in the princess, it would be right for me to get rid of her altogether. Yes, if we help them connect, won’t we be able to hold onto the prince’s line?”
How about going in a different direction? He just had to do what was good for him.
Kylus smiled, revealing his teeth.
Whatever it was, he just had to keep his family name.

“Lady, are your lips okay now?”
“Yes.”
“You don’t need to apply any more ointment, right?”
“Yes.”
I sat blankly on the bed and gave the same answer like a parrot. As I was rubbing my eyes, I heard the sound of the door opening.
“Ray, are you awake already?”
“Yes—”
Today was a special case because he always came into my room first and woke me up. Strangely, my eyes opened quickly. It was because I’d been resting for a few days. Even if it was just sorting out invitations, it seemed like a job. Seeing that my condition has improved after taking a break.
Well, Lucian looked good, too, right? No, he was more in a good mood?
As Amber prepared to wash my face, Lucian rolled up his arms as if waiting, and his face was exceptionally bright.
“Did anything good happen?”
The smile on his lips widened at my question.
“Right.”
Oh, something pleasant happened to my bias.
As I sat silently thinking, he wrapped a towel around my neck and started washing my face. Even though I refused several times, every time he attacked me with his face, I couldn’t resist. The scariest thing in the world was an attack with a handsome face. If he lowered the ends of his eyebrows and looked at me with pleading eyes, I wouldn’t be able to say no.
…If anyone could, please come and see me. Ask that person how to say no.
“Duke, shall I bring a new cream today?”
“Hmm…”
“It is a fragrance suitable for summer, and it is said to be a cream made from fresh and cool herbs.”
Amber was amazing, too.
Seeing Lucian fully understand and she explained without saying much. I became accustomed to his touch, and naturally, I entrusted my face to his hands.
After wiping my face thoroughly, Lucian reached out his hand to Amber. She then handed him the cream tin she had prepared. After opening the lid, he first inhaled the scent and then applied the cream to his hands.
As if to check the texture, he rubbed his fingertips together, then nodded his head lightly.
Amber, who was waiting next to him with a nervous look, smiled brightly and said.
“Then, I will prepare the dress.”
“Yes.”
Lucian answered Amber, but he was still looking at me. I felt his golden eyes were filled with only me, and my hairs stood upright.
“Lift your head.”
“Yes.”
I raised my face familiarly at his request. At that, he spread the cream evenly on both hands and rubbed it gently as if massaging my face. Lucian, who carefully applied cream while moving his fingertips in a circle, lightly kissed my lips.
Kisskiss, kiss, kisskisskiss.
As if mimicking our own password-like knock, we kissed like that.
“Oh…”
Embarrassed, I rolled up my lips and tucked them in. He smiled a little at my reaction. Just seeing him look so comfortable made my heart flutter.
“But, what happened?”
“Hmm. Are you curious?”
“Yes!”
The man who had been combing my hair with the comb that Amber had brought in advance responded with a smiley voice.
“You’ll find out when you come with me later.”
“Are we going out today…?”
“Yes, together with you.”
“Wow!”
When he said that we were going out for a while, I raised my arms and smiled in front of him like a child. Seeing me like that, Lucian responded with a smile as if he had everything in the world.
