Chapter 41 â Laria Lepis (END)
Lepis hurriedly took his steps to his quarters in the Imperial Palace.
He sat down on the bed and took his pants off, looking at his flesh which had swelled tightly over his pants. It was an impulsive act. It was something he had never done before.
He slowly touched his pillar.
Exhaling harsh breaths through his mouth, he called out Arneâs name. Her body was slender and white, and her lips were squirming as she took the soup he gave her. Even her depths that were moist and narrow when he held her before.
Already ferociously swollen, his pillar expanded even more every time his thoughts deepened.
He gently stroked it before quickly grabbing it up and down. Lepis let out a harsh moan at the intense stimulation. He wanted to go into her room where she was sleeping, and took off her clothes, kissed her lips, put it inside herâŠ
Lepis looked at the semen coming out of the tip of his genitals. He wiped his genitals with a towel, constantly spitting out pure white s*men. He reached a climax just by imagining that he was going to put in, and he struggled with the rushing sense of shame.
She would have put someone elseâs stuff inside her body and cried, too. She must have been in a high position, but she wasnât noble.
It bothered him like mad.
He deliberately avoided her, evoking bizarre feelings for her.
That day, he masturbated three times just thinking about Arne.
Lepis, who was deliberately avoiding Arne, heard the story about her. He heard that she wanted to meet Rewan. He instantly felt his heart plunge to the floor.
He knew that Arne had special feelings for Rewan, but why was his chest getting so weirdâŠ? It felt like he ate something wrong. He didnât know what this feeling he had for Arne was. It made it even more painful.
Lepis was disgusted with Arneâs every action, every moment, everything.
Originally, he would have criticized her for spending the night with Distria and meeting Rewan. She was a king, though she was hung up on a man and forgot her shame. However, he was so annoyed that he couldnât concentrate on his work. Even though he had work to be finished by tomorrow, he wondered if the story was true and went away.
He mocked her for her words and told her to spread her legs⊠Even though she pushed and rejected him, he wasnât offended.
At the same time, he laughed at himself as he reacted to every little action. Did Arne know that he was like this�
Now, why was he in a bad mood? It didnât matter why he got bothered by her. It was good to see her. He couldnât stand the way she was angry or the way she refused her because every moment was so pretty. He wanted to hold her madly.
Still, Lepis didnât want to do the behavior she hated.
The next day, Lepis learned that Arne would assume the position of the temporary commander of the 22nd Knights. While sorting the documents processed by Distria, his hands trembled when he found a document with the contents written on it.
He couldnât understand the situation. Unpleasant and serious emotions filled Lepis.
Throwing away the papers he was organizing, he ran to Arneâs place. As he opened the door wide, forgetting to knock, Lepis looked at the white paper on the table.
âThe 22nd Knights are garbageâŠ?â
Was it because he didnât knock, broke the etiquette, and ran all the way here to tell him not to do it? Lepis shut his mouth. It was confusing.
âWhat about you who suggested that if she spread her legs, she can meet Rewan?â
Even though Lepis didnât want Arne to take over as the commander, he didnât know why he had these feelings. It was strange.
If she assumed the position of commander of the 22nd Knights, she would most likely spread her legs to the 22nd Knights. Lepis noticed that he didnât like it.
âThen, just open it up to me.â
Lepis unbuttoned his button with trembling hands. He didnât even know why he was shaking.
Taking off his coat, he approached Arne and gazed at her. Her delicate arms stopped Lepis. She looked at him with disgust. It was the look he used to see often. Lepis was strangely saddened by the look in her eyes.
âIsnât it better alone than by the knights?â
After that, Lepis lost himself. He despised himself for losing his control and running rampant.
Red marks were engraved on Arneâs arms that were holding him. He turned his gaze to look at his and her arms.
âŠHer arm was warm. Her lips were warm.
He wanted to cry in confusion. He felt broken.
âI donât know why you care.â
Acacia and Lepis were originally people who had no contact with each other. While Acacia was the Emperorâs knight and he was the emperorâs brains, the two seldom met.
Lepis applied herbs to the wounded Acaciaâs back.
ââŠShe was worried.â
Acacia knew at once who was worried about him, even though Lepis had omitted the subject. He didnât know what he was thinkingâthe reason Lepis helped him and the reason why Lepis cared about her.
He was worried that Lepis would bother Arne.
âIs that so? I have sinned again.â
Lepis was annoyed by Acaciaâs intimate look. He didnât even know why his own emotions got so mixed up.
âWhy do you care so much?â
Without realizing it, a sharp word came out. Acacia thought that he was scolding him on Distriaâs behalf. Was Lepis helping because he was the talent Distria needed, Acacia pondered. He went silent, not knowing how Lepis felt.
The room was surrounded by silence. Eventually, Lepis got up and left Acaciaâs room.
âI hope you donât have to worry about anything.â
Acacia didnât know whom he was telling not to worry about, so he didnât answer.
It didnât take long for Acacia to recognize Lepisâ feelings for Arne. It was the day she fell sick. As he glanced over her, Lepisâ eyes overflowed with tenderness. It was so strange that Lepis himself didnât even know it when he looked like that.
Acacia remembered him helping Arne.
Lepis didnât seem to understand her own heart.
Acacia bit his lip, thinking that he had done something wrong. He reprimanded himself inside but soon changed his mind. Then, he thought of getting Lepis, who loved Arne, and helping her escape.
âWhat kind of feelingâŠis that?â
Lepis muttered blankly. He acted like someone who didnât know love.
âYou want to do something without receiving anything. You keep thinking about it⊠Youâre worriedâŠsuch emotions. Itâs not always exciting, and sometimes you get angry when theyâre with other people.â
Listening to Acacia, gathering and organizing the confused emotions he had felt so far, Lepis muttered the word love as if possessed. It felt like his confused head was cleared.
Lepis gazed at Arne. His heart was pounding.
âI think itâs love. My heart is beating like this.â
A few days later, as Acacia visited his residence, Lepis welcomed his visit since he also had something he wanted to ask. Silence lingered between the two as they lifted the teacups.
Acacia slowly opened his mouth.
âI have a request for you.â
Lepis felt nervous. He did not know what Acaciaâs feelings for Arne were. He was curious about that. Still, he hid his feelings and asked Acacia bluntly.
âI donât want him to find Rewan. Can you cooperate?â
Lepis sighed in relief. If Acacia loved her, he could not do such a favor.
ââŠThat seems impossible.â
âDidnât you say you loved her?â
Acacia thought Lepis would grant his request. So, he spoke of his purpose without adding or subtracting anything. However, he got a refusal instead. He did not expect Lepisâs rejection in mind.
âHow do you feel about Arne making such a request?â
When he asked, Acacia was silent. While Lepis said he loved Arne, it was personal feelings. Not knowing how to see himself as loyal to Arne, he sighed.
Since he had already spilled this far, he thought that if it went wrong, he would have to kill Lepis. Nevertheless, at those words, Lepisâ expression brightened noticeably as if he didnât want Acacia to love Arne.
âIs that so? Such a request cannot be granted. I just wonât disturb you, and I wonât even tell the Emperor.â
âI want Rewan to die.â
It was a voice full of possessiveness. Acacia stared blankly at Lepis.
âI would rather her not love anyone.â
Seeing Lepisâ eyes gleamed with madness, Acacia swallowed a gulp. He couldnât tell if what he had awakened in his would be good or bad. He was silent about Lepisâ love, which he did not understand.
Acacia bowed his head and walked out of Lepisâs room.
Verica did not dispel the feelings of love from Lepis. She thought that Lepis couldnât love anyone. And contrary to Vericaâs expectations, Lepis is now in love.
Jealousy and obsession that accompany love were emotions that could not be eliminated because they were not suppressed. Lepis valued those feelings, it was like telling him that he was not a monster.
Recognizing love, his heart pounded with a throbbing sound.
