The moment she realized something, Hollyâs body suddenly went down. Cahill wrapped his arms around her head and waist as she also swallowed a scream and hugged him tightly.
âUht!â
Soon, she felt a blow, as if her body had hit somewhere, as Cahill stroked the back of her head.
Lifting her head at the touch, Holly looked at him on the floor.
âAre you okay?â
âWhen I was young, I fell from the top of the castle bare, so yes.â
He slowly lifted his upper body and brushed the dust off Hollyâs clothes.
âYouâre a prince, but why did you live like that?â
Seeing that he just shrugged at her question, it somehow felt like he was reluctant to talk about it.
âPerhaps an assassinâŠ?â
A well-founded guess passed through Hollyâs mind.
âWhat were you thinking that you looked like you were going to cry like that?â
Seeing her face, Cahill scratched the back of his head in trouble, and he hesitantly spoke.
âBadinâs older brother was being so nasty that I stole his prized underpants and tried to hang them on the top of the castle, but my foot slipped.â
Hollyâs mouth dropped open, hearing the story of a situation that was more childish and shabby than she could have imagined. As she looked at him pathetically, he averted his gaze and cleared his throat.
âWhere is this anyway?â
She got off Cahillâs body and slowly looked around. It was a wide hallway surrounded by old bricks. The only places Holly was guided to in Laylaâs house were the central area and hallway though it all looked like it had been dug out of the dirt.
âShall we explore?â
âItâs someone elseâs house?â
âThe only entrance is over there.â
When she freaked out, he pointed over their head. The stone bed that was making her back uncomfortable had split in half and was serving as a door.
âOrdinary people cannot go back there. We need to find another door.â
âYou are not an ordinary person.â
Cahill smiled broadly, finding it good that Holly recognized his abilities. Even though it was an underground space, the surroundings instantly turned white, like when lightning struck.
âWe donât even have to walk around a lot.â
âWhat?â
As she gazed at his outstretched arm, there was a faint light that shimmered at the tip of his finger.
Hollyâs face turned red.
âWho is it? Letâs go and ask if there is a way out.â
With his ability, he could leave the place they just fell into, but he had a strong desire to explore the secret space. When Holly made eye contact with him, Cahill rolled his eyes and gave a meaningful smile.
âWhat? What were you thinking?â
Seeing his happy expression, she suddenly felt a surge of uneasiness.
âNo, I was wondering if they could have heard all the sounds if they were under the bedâŠâ
It occurred to her that her moan might have echoed in this hallway. Hollyâs face turned red. Cahill glanced at her face and got troubled.
âRemember what I said before, Holly?â
âWhat did you say?â
She asked, tilting her head curiously, afraid that he would say another nonsense.
âYou need to get rid of the aftermath.â
Hollyâs mouth fell open at Cahillâs reply.
âLetâs get it done beforehand so you donât have anything to be ashamed of.â
âWhat are you saying to kill people like that!â
As she freaked out, he stared at her with a strange expression.
âI didnât mean to kill themâŠâ
Hearing that, Holly shut her mouth.
âYou canât take life for granted, Holly.â
Cahill spoke urgently. Then, he excitedly patted Hollyâs cheeks, who had a troubled face.
âWe can give them some money and threaten them. You would have nothing to be ashamed of if you couldnât see them right in front of you, right?â
ââŠOkay. Letâs just go.â
She let go of his hand that was stroking her cheek and hurriedly moved away, feeling strange to hear something right from him, who always seemed to be missing something.
âWait.â
Cahill, who was smiling while watching her back, pulled her arm. His hand brushed her shoulder and reached behind her back.
Holly narrowed her eyes as she was cradled in his chest.
âAhâŠâ
It suddenly became tight, and her body was not uncomfortable. It was only then did she realized that her clothes were half off.

âDone. Letâs go now.â
Cahill ran her eyes over Hollyâs body and smiled contentedly before taking her hand and leading her.

âRewards for exploring are goodâŠâ
Standing at a dead end, Cahill muttered, touching his chin. His gaze rested on the wider bed than was in the room.
âIs this another room?â
Holly looked around. The three sides of the bedroom were tightly packed with bricks.
âThere is no door?â
She answered as she groped the stone wall for the door.
âMaybe we opened a secret passage?â
Her heart skipped a beat when she got herself involved in an adventure she had only heard about in old stories.
âThen, itâs a space just for us.â
Cahill, grinning, hugged Holly and fell onto the bed. Unlike the hard stone bed in the room, the bed was soft enough for the two of them to be completely submerged.
âItâs too uncomfortable to suck in that position either.â
As he slid his hands down her neckline and massaged Hollyâs breasts, he put his other hand behind her back and loosened the string he had tightened himself. Cahill pulled down her baggy clothes, exposing her breasts.
Her breasts gently swayed in the air by his hands, looking like sweet pudding. Cahill gulped and opened his mouth to bite her breast.
Her pungent scent filled her nostrils.
When she wrapped her palm around the back of his head and pulled him, the upright tip was sucked into a deeper place.
âHa-uhâŠâ
Cahill hurriedly slipped his hand into Hollyâs panties. The moist entrance swallowed his fingers without resistance. As he thrust his fingers in and out, the friction made the inner walls hotter.
âCahill, stopâŠâ
Holly pushed Cahillâs chest out. She then put her hand down and grabbed his waist.
âPut it in.â
Hollyâs hand was rubbing his tight front. Cahill took a deep breath and pulled down his pants. It was the moment when he was about to insert the tip, which had bounced, escaping his pants, and thrust it into her.
âSeria will come a little later.â
Someoneâs voice came through the wall. Cahill looked at Holly, who had hardened and frowned. It seemed that it wasnât just her who had heard it.
âThatâs Lylaâs voice.â
She whispered softly into Cahillâs ear without even realizing it. He glanced at Holly, his arms around her neck and his head raised.
Seeing her stare, he belatedly nodded.
âAgain?â
The next voice heard was that of Lylaâs husband, Chase. Holly held her breath and couldnât take her eyes off the wall where the sound came from.
âIt was late at night. Your friendâs house is on the river, a long way from here.â
âThe elder handed me a guest in front of the village elves. Thereâs a lot I want to say about it, and Iâm sure she would be curious about the human guests.â
The voice came closer as if they were in the same room.
âWell. She is a curious woman.â
Chaseâs voice was full of displeasure. He didnât seem to like Lylaâs friend, Seria.
ââŠSeria is an elf with a similar personality to Ennie.â
It reminded her of Ennie, her childhood friend and co-worker of Halidem.
âIâm sure everyone is doing well, right?â
Holly thought of the people she knew in Centuria one by one and shook her head to shake off her longing. Meanwhile, Cahill was gazing at her with puzzled eyes.
âIâm not going back to Centuria anymore.â
Holly promised herself and smiled at Cahill, wanting to tell him that it meant nothing.
âMaybe this is Lylaâs couple bedroom?â
He glanced at her with a quizzical look and set his teeth on the nape of her neck.
âAht! It hurtsâŠ!â
As she whispered through her teeth, the cold fingers ran down her stomach. Only then did Holly realize that she was lying naked.
âWhere are the clothes againâŠ?! What if Lyla and Chase come in!â
Holly stared at the wall where the sound came from, terrified. The bricks were firm without any disturbance.
