Chapter 14

Chapter 14 – She Told Me To Be Quiet

“Terro, help me!”

“O-okay!”

Terros took the cart away and ran to his feet, grabbing Kalligo’s other arm.

“We need to move him to my bed.”

“…What?”

Terros, with Kalligo’s arm around his neck, widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Ashia.

“Hurry up.”

“Oh, yes.”

Two big men stumbled into the narrow corridor and managed to reach the bed.

“Let him lie down here.”

“…Okay.”

Terros threw Kalligo on the bed just like that. Ashia rubbed the tip of her chin, looking at Kalligo who filled her bed.

“Seizure… There are no side effects.”

Why didn’t he tell her about something this important? Maybe he intentionally hid it. If yes, why? After a moment of contemplation, Ashia stared at Kalligo and moved her lips.

“Terro, go back today.”

“…What?”

Terros, who was looking at the man on the bed, turned his head towards Ashia.

“Only he and sister will be here?”

Miuna Gouna Kalligo is her client. Besides, he’s a pretty powerful man in this place.

She couldn’t reveal the disgrace of such a person.

Ashia approached Kalligo and spoke to Terros standing behind him.

“You worry too much. I can’t leave a client alone.”

Terros pursed his lips tightly. He wanted to ask if there were any cases in which the client was brought into her room.

-Kalligo!

In addition, Ashia had called that man’s name. It wasn’t just the customer’s title, but his name instead.

At the moment, he could tell that the man Verna had told him about might be this guy.

“Let me help you.”

“Terro, you know my job is one that is not intended for any kind of help from others.”

Unable to go against her will, Terros walked out of Ashia’s room helplessly. He looked back several times and managed to steadily walk out of the store.

***

Ashia reached out to remove Kalligo’s top as Terros left the store. His body exuded visible heat.

“Kalligo, wake up!”

Ashia climbed onto Kalligo’s body easily. What kind of pain was he feeling? Kalligo’s big hands scratched and squeezed her body, causing the bed to shake tremendously.

She tried to remove his hands, but her strength alone could not stop him because of their enormous size difference.

At that moment, Kalligo’s eyes opened wide.

“Hmm? Are you finally awake?”

Ashia asked, looking into his eyes, staring at him.

“Kalligo?”

She called him again. But instead of answering, his hand reached out first. And he then grasped her wrist.

“Kalligo?”

Her body was dragged helplessly as his large hand held Aisha’s wrist.

“Ah!”

With a thud, Ashia’s body fell onto his chest.

“Awww…”

Ashia lifted her upper body, groaning. Is this really a human body? His body was as hard as a stone.

Ashia cradled Kalligo’s body, her arms pulled once again below his waist.

“Ugh.”

His body was boiling like an active volcano. While staring at Ashia with his red eyes, he coughed up distorted, wild, and hot breaths.

The distance between the two narrowed till the tips of their lips were about to touch.

His breaths, his heartbeat, and his desire that was so sensitive were expressed in his gazes. Kalligo was losing control over all three, which were running wild. He was almost like an untrained animal.

However, that was just as far.

He was engulfed with desire, but even though his body was under Ashia’s superiority, Kalligo’s touch was still friendly.

He touched Ashia’s cheek and chin gently, as if she was made of glass. Ashia felt the heat from his palm and his slight tremor.

“…Kalligo, ah?”

Kalligo’s rugged touch glided from her chin to her neck and around her shoulders.

Surprised by the unfamiliar feeling, Ashia leveled her shoulders and held his hand.

“Kalligo, wait a minute…”

However, his strength could not be overcome without the use of mana. He hugged her tightly once again. Perhaps he didn’t like her intention to block his touch.

“!”

Kalligo, who hugged her, buried his face in the crook of Ashia’s neck, and slowly rubbed his face and lips over her skin.

Very occasionally, his hard teeth scratched her skin.

“Kalligo, wait… ah!”

The bedsheets were messed up because of Ashia’s struggles as Kalligo hugged her tightly, trying to not let her go.

The more Ashia tried to escape, the stronger his power in tying her up. Her reasoning was shaken by the heat that was being transferred from Kalligo.

At this rate, she may be dragged away by his desires, as he intended.

‘I’m going crazy.’

After several deep breaths, Ashia began to soothe him carefully, letting him bite and lick her neck and shoulders.

“You’re not weak enough to not overcome your desires, you know.”

“…… ”

“Let me help you. So, please… Wake up.”

“……”

“Kalligo…”

“…….”

Did it work? He moaned softly and stopped moving. His hand pulling down her top had also paused, losing strength.

‘Did he understand what I said?’

Ashia, who noticed his changes, quickly rose to her feet and pressed against his chest, and said.

“Luke, [Push].”

「Okay!」

Luke’s power was immediately unleashed from the necklace, was combined with Ashia’s blue magic power, and began to weigh heavily on Kalligo’s feverish body.

“Ugh!”

Kalligo let out a scream. Ashia clicked her tongue and began unbuttoning the white shirt he was wearing. Maybe it’s because she is impatient, but the unbuttoning didn’t work out as Ashia wished.

‘There are so many buttons.’

Ashia furrowed her brows and ripped off more than half of the buttons on his shirt. In the air, buttons that seemed expensive even at a glance jumped and fell to the floor.

At last, his solid upper body was revealed. His chest was moving up and down as Kalligo took quick breaths.

Ashia, who inhaled sharply while looking down at him, reached over his heart to put in some mana. And just before touching his skin, Ashia’s hands faltered in the air.

‘What is this?’

His body was full of tiny scars, like badges of war. The old scars were too faint to be seen at first glance.

But there was a scar that stood out. His bizarre scar on the left side of his chest. It wasn’t just a scar.

“Black magic…”

– It was because of the sorcerer’s attack on the battlefield. I’m going to die like this. I wanted to, but somehow I lived. But… the scar didn’t go away.

Once upon a time, she had heard from him about this wound.

The problem was that the story comes not from the original male lead Kalligo Etus, but from her ex-husband, Kalligo Edmund.

‘Why is that scar on his body?’

Black magic wounds and scars were distinctly different in shape from ordinary scars.

“The sun’s heat is blazing, spreading scars everywhere…”

This scar on Kalligo’s body now was apparently caused by black magic.

Ashia’s eyes began to shake, and she started feeling dizzy.

“This is… Why…”

“Ugh!”

A moan burst out from Kalligo again, and Ashia, whose fingertips had stopped on his scar, winced.

Ashia’s eyes then moved to Kalligo’s face.

‘– W-who are you?’

Ashia, who was looking at the wounds on his face and his chest alternately, grinded her molars. If she had any questions right now, she could ask him after calming him down. For now, calming down this man’s energy was the top priority.

It was clear that the red oracle was moving dizzily from place to place in his body.

“You’ve put up with this, haven’t you?”

While sighing deeply, she let her mana slip straight over his heart.

Then, the blue mana penetrating Kalligo’s skin began to quell the red oracles that were briskly roaming his body.

Thanks to her magic, he was finally recovering. His body, which had not shed a drop of sweat, had become wet and moisturized.

Perhaps because the pain had subsided, Kalligo slowly opened his eyes. He directed a hazy look at Ashia.

Sensing his gaze, Ashia said.

“It’ll be easier to just fall asleep.”

Kalligo closed his eyes again as if he had understood what she was saying.

“Even if it’s painful, hang in there. This will make you feel better.”

Her fingertips, which were digging into Kalligo’s flesh, exerted more power. For such a time, she concentrated her mind on calming his spirits down.

Meanwhile, Kalligo, who opened his eyes again, looked at Ashia.

He could feel her weight on his hot skin. It was both cool and fuzzy.

It was the first time that the magic from another person entered his body. He could also feel the aura that was running wild in his body conforming silently to her strange but pleasant magic power.

Kalligo’s murky gaze was then directed at her red lips as he coughed up short breaths. Then Aisha’s clothes, almost torn, came into view.

Kalligo thought he was the one that did it.

And her white skin, which seeped through the gap in her clothes, got caught in his view.

Oh, my god.

Looking at her disheveled look, he felt like he’s going to die in another sense.

Considering that his body was still moving even after drinking a lot of medicine, it was clear that Ventus had made the potion sloppily.

Kalligo didn’t think he could do this. He thought it’s better to keep her away from his body…

“Ashia Bliss…”

“Be quiet. I don’t know if this is worth living for, but you still have a long way off.”

Ashia interrupted Kalligo’s words firmly. Then, her lips, which had crept open, closed again.

She told him to be quiet.

It’s not because of self-interest or desire, it’s because of her determined tone. Kalligo thought that he was overpowered anyway, so there wouldn’t be anything unpleasant

So, he thought it wouldn’t be bad to stay a little longer.

Wherever she’s touching, wherever she’s sitting, it’s entirely her choice, so he wouldn’t be scolded.

Kalligo kept his mouth shut.

Ashia’s hand came up to Kalligo’s forehead.

‘There’s still a fever.’

If she left it as it is, she was sure that he would get up and walk around just because he felt a little better.

“…Now sleep.”

Cool energy also flowed out of her hands that were touching his forehead. Kalligo soon fell into a deep sleep.

‘Sigggghhhh…..what a heck of a mess.’

Ashia settled down enough of his aura and roughly fitted his shirt, which had less than half of its buttons left, onto Kalligo.

She gave a long sigh as she cleared up the surrounding furniture that had been messed up while moving Kalligo. Then suddenly, her reflection in the wall mirror came into view.

“Oh my…”

She almost burst into laughter.

‘Wow, look at my hair. It’s a mess.’

It was an obvious show of how radical and dynamic it was to calm him down.

Gasp.

She was surprised once again. There were clear red marks on her neck and shoulders.

‘T-that guy, seriously!’

She thought it was too much, but judging from his behavior and eyes, she was at fault since she couldn’t even control his desire.

Then a moment came to her mind.

At that time, she was caught by the fiery man and started to be engulfed in his flames. Ashia unwittingly shook her head, swallowing her dry saliva.

‘By the way, how can I cover all this?’

She looked back at her reflection in the mirror and pulled her torn, sagging clothes up to her neck. Still, it didn’t cover it.

“It’s really all a mess… I’ll just cover it all up with my robe.”

As she was about to go back to her room to change, she quickly turned to the mirror again, rubbing her hot neck and shoulders.

From head to toe, Ashia’s eyes, which were double-checking her appearance, widened so much that they couldn’t be bigger.
