Chizuruās world suddenly became pitch black in an instant, she felt as if the blood was drawn from her body.
āWhat is that person saying ā¦?ā
āMarriage? with who?ā
Her heart started beating strongly and the her shivering made it hard to breathe.
she took a step back, however, her legs got tangled, and she stumbled on her heels, hitting the floor which caused a loud noise.
Lukrov, Nadal, Roan, and the women called Lady Exia turned around in the direction of Chizuru with a surprise, but it was Lady Exia that was extremely surprised and opened her eyes stunned.
āWho are you? Itās not polite to overhear peopleās conversations.ā
She had a high-pitched voice and a quick way of speaking that matched her flashy appearance.
Moreover, her tone is arrogant, for a person who suddenly visited at midnight and questioning human beings in the castle who appears. Originally, Chizuru should have the right to ask who you are first.
However, if she is already close to Lukrov and has visited this castle many times, it may be a different story. Chizuru, who noticed it, turned deep blue and turned her back on the Lukrovs and tried to leave the hall.
It was Roan who shouted her name.
However, a few seconds later, a strong hand grabbed her and she looked back to see who was the one holding her back
it was Lukrov standing there.
Chizuru managed to say resistance words, but she knew that she couldnāt compete with his power.
Lukrov looked down at her with a stern look and took a breathes before saying
āDonāt get the situation wrong. Sheās just a guest. Thereās no meaning for whatever she says she jus ā¦ā
Lukrov was trying to continue the explanation, but Chizuru was upset and didnāt feel like listening anymore. He said a word that made her chest feel like she was hit with a bow.
Just the same as herā¦ā¦.
āThen isnāt she the same as me! Did Arde tell a lie? Did she used to use the room I was in before I came?ā
The sound of rain echoing from the outside was heavy, and perhaps Chizuruās suppressed cry did not reach other peopleās hearing.
She thought it was okay to ask at least.
Lukrovās jet-black eyes became darker as if there is a way for darkness to become darker, and he was irritated and just kept staring at Chizuru.
He bit his jaw like a beast trying to growl a warning. The grip that held Chizuruās hand became stronger and it started to hurt.
It wasnāt a very good situation
But even Chizuru has a heart.
No matter how much she thought it is okay to be with Lukrov even if all he wants is her body, even she knows that she is responsible for leaving lukrov alone for fourteen years, But what is painful is painful, what hurts does hurt, and she hates what she hates.
āRelease meā¦ it hurtsā
When Chizuru pleaded, Lukrov made a regrettable look and loosened his hand. However, his gaze remained stuck to Chizuru and did not make a slight movement.
āNo other woman has ever used that room. No other person.ā
In a low voice full of pain, Lukrov swore so.
It must have been a line to calm Chizuru. He is a knight who values honor, She doesnāt think that he will lie in such a thing. However, Chizuru became rather sad.
Lukrov never denied the word that Chizuru is a āguestā.
Even if he shows affection with his whole body, he does not express it clearly in words.
She became frustrated when she was forced to realize that again.
ā ā¦ there are so many other places they couldāve stayed in ā¦ā
Chizuru argued unintentionally in distress.
Lukrovās expression became even darker, and Chizuru was immediately enveloped in regret, but there was no way out. Chizuru couldnāt be relieved until she hears some definitive words. Conversely, if Lukrov said āitā, Chizuru would have forgiven him all and believed all his words.
Maybe Lukrov can also feels it from Chizuruās eyes.
However, the following line of Lukrov was also symbolic.
āIf you could see how Iāve lived in the last fourteen years, you wouldnāt be able to say that ā¦ā
I Knew it..She knew.. and She believed it
However, Chizuru was just a normal woman, and a beautiful woman was begging him for marriage standing right there, and she was sad and hurt. she really needed clear words from him.
(I Love you) just this one word is enough. *
Thatās all you need ā¦ thatās all you need!
*(TL: I love you in Japanese is a one-word symbol ę)
