Donât say it, did he see her?
Oliviaâs heart was pounding anxiously.
Obviously, he was looking up at her. When their eyes met, Leon looked away, but she couldnât find anything unusual in his gaze. And, Kevinâs expression didnât matter to her, anyway.
Returning to her room, she sighed at the misery and covered her face. Having s*x with Kevin was not enough, seeing Leonâs face, she climaxed as she imagined her having sex with Leon⊠It was really obscene and perverted.
At this point, Olivia didnât know if maybe she was a more insidious pervert herself than Kevin. How did it end up like thisâŠ?
Then, she heard a knock on the door. As soon as she said to come in, she almost screamed.
Because it was none other than Leon who came in.
When she widened her eyes as she saw him, Leon gave a puzzled look. There was no sign of him noticing what she had done on his face.
âAh, well, what brings you here?â
After the affair, she washed her body and changed her clothes as well. There was nothing to get caught, yet she couldnât make eye contact with him.
âDoes my presence make you uncomfortable?â
It was such an unexpected question for her to answer that it is uncomfortable.
At that, she looked at Leon with her eyes wide open.
âDid I do something wrong?â
At Leonâs question, she quickly shook her head.
âOh, no. justâyou never asked this beforeâŠâ
âI donât think Iâve ever asked my brother about this either.â
Surprised, Oliviaâs eyes winded again at the cold expression of those words. Didnât they have a good friendship? It was a little strange because he spoke that way.
Leonâs face had a sharp look.
âDid you fight with brother Kevin?â
When she asked that, Leon shook his head. âItâs not like that. Iâm just uncomfortable that my brother didnât take care of Miss Claudel.â
Is it because you have a lot of things, so you have a generous heart? He was very kind to consider her convenience. The fear of being caught was long gone by his attitude. Her mind was up and down, though she was happy with the consideration he showed.
He asked when she uttered the words from the bottom of her heart.
âThatâs because you were thinking of me.â
He closed his mouth for a moment and gazed at her. He seemed hesitant about something, then sighed a little.
âItâs only natural because you are here. And, the fact that I didnât ask such a question was because I was careless.â
Because of that, Olivia smiled brightly. She just liked talking to Leon. Before the war, he seldom spoke to her first. However, when he met her again, he took care of her as the master of the family and spoke to her first.
Olivia was happy. It felt good, and she mustered her courage.
As the atmosphere eased, she spoke the words she hesitated to.
âIâm glad you came back safely.â
Olivia was so embarrassed that, as she said those words, she didnât even think of raising her head.
Though Leon didnât say anything. It must be so, because it had already been more than five days since he returned, and she felt it was too late to greet him. When she realized that, she wanted to cry.
After a while, he uttered a word. He was staring strangely at Olivia. As she became restless with the atmosphere, fortunately, he changed the topic.
âWell, I bought a dress.â
âI asked the butler, and I heard that Miss Claudel had been refusing clothes for a long time.â
It was never because she refused the clothes. She remembered the shrewd butler. If Leon knew he didnât give her the clothes, the butler would probably be in trouble. Because of that, Olivia has always lived in a few dresses from before.
She wanted to tell Leon about it, but she didnât want to be seen as a gossiper to him.
The butler was a loyal vassal for two generations, and she was the one who came in later. To him, the butlerâs words would be persuasive.
When she made that judgment and kept her silence, he misunderstood her affirmation.
Leon frowned and said, âI understand that you do not want to burden the family, but you are not a burden to the family, and if Miss Claudel continues to wear old clothes, the dignity of our family will be doubted. Donât feel uncomfortable.â
Meanwhile, the maids were busy moving dresses between the open doors. At first, she thought it would be a few pieces at most, though they carried too many clothes.
Olivia, who was about to thank him for the new clothes, stared at him with her eyes wide open.
âMiss Claudel. I just told you. Donât feel uncomfortable.â
She wanted to protest, however, she couldnât say anything to the determined expression on his face.
Did he know that this would happen? His strict expression loosened slightly as she frowned and pouted her lips.
âThen, I will be grateful. Thank you for your consideration.â
She tried not to like it too much, and she greeted him bluntly.
Feeling his gaze staring at her, Olivia lifted her head. Did she have to say something again? Did it seem too rude to express her gratitude�
âI plan to increase the number of maids to serve you.â
âItâs because Iâm uncomfortable. If youâre considerate of me, please donât do that.â
After all, she didnât expect the employees here to treat her kindly or loyally. The more people serve her, the more bad glances sheâll receive. She knew that the maids would scold her for every act and gossiped. Rather, she was more comfortable without maids.
He nodded at her resolute words. For some reason, Leon seemed kind of downâstrangely enough, he was.
âAgain? Is there anything else?â
At Leonâs words, she unknowingly opened her mouth. Only then did she realize that she had spoken cheekily.
As Olivia covered her mouth with her hand with her widened eyes, he raised the corners of his mouth, and spoke.
âI think you like books, so I prepared some books for you.â
Book? Her face turned blue. Why did he even bring books?
Thinking so, she peered into his eyes.
âI heard you like books.â
âWerenât you in the study this afternoon?â
Did he notice� Is he asking vaguely?
She studied his face for a long time. Seeing that there was nothing visible painted on his face, Olivia was completely relieved. Her ears were dyed red, and she bowed her head.
As he recalled the memory of the study, her voice changed as small as a mosquito again. It was natural because she wasnât honest. When her behavior changed again, Leon asked if something was wrong.
âWhat rudeness have I committed?â
She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and bowed her head. He sighed as Olivia lowered her head to hide her expression. It just felt frustrating. Realizing she had to properly convey her gratitude, as before, Olivia decided to be courageous.
âThank you so much for being so considerate, Your Excellency.â
As she raised her head and smiled, his face seemed to be more comfortable. Having said that, Leon still did not leave and stood in front of her.
Is there something else going on? No matter how it is, she didnât want to talk to him for a long time⊠at least, just for today. It was because it seemed like he was going to investigate what happened in the study.
After Leon didnât say anything for a while, Olivia decided to ask reluctantly.
âWould you like some tea hereâŠ?â
âNo, not like that. I just have a question for you.â
âMarriage⊠Do you have any thoughts yet?â
She opened her eyes wide.
Her heart was pounding and thumping in a different sense. She knew very well what this meant. It was a voice telling her to get married and get out.
âDo you have anyone in mind?â
Olivia shook her head firmly again before bowing her head with a sad expression on her face. He must have an uncomfortable expression on his face. She thought so when she raised her head.
However, his expression was far from the uncomfortable expression she had expected. His lips were still stiff, although the tense energy in his eyes had disappeared.
In other words, it wasnât a look of displeasure.
âIt would be nice if Miss Claudel would stay here comfortably.â
âThanks to your consideration, I feel comfortable.â
His voice softened somewhat, but she didnât notice it. Her expression darkened as he went outside. Leon seemed to want her to get married and leave this house.
She stopped her moaning that was about to come out.
Kevinâs manhood came and went through the open folds as her damp cave continued to suck him in. The sound of gasping breath filled the room.
He raised his hand and tried to lower Oliviaâs hand that was covering her mouth, but she shook her head desperately.
âWhy⊠Heuk! Leon, you are worried about him hearing, right?â
Although she didnât answer, Kevinâs face distorted as if he had guessed Oliviaâs response.
She frowned. The sound of flesh hitting against each other was so loud that Olivia was afraid that even the friction of it would be heard by Leon. After Kevin grabbed her legs and lifted them up, he pulled her body even closer.
She shut her eyes tightly.
Her red hair spread across the white bed. Her love fluid was flowing with the traces of a promiscuous love affair. She looked up at Kevin with her tearful eyes, and he had a satisfied expression on his face.
Olivia was desperate to stop her voice from leaking out unwittingly.
What if Leon wakes up and hears the sound of her affair with Kevin?
Just imagining it was terrifying. He lifted her leg, placing it on his shoulder, and put more strength into his movements.
Kevin panted and called her name. Contrary to her mind, the love fluid from her folds was dripping endlessly.
Once you feel the pleasure, it is easy to feel it again. Even more so when she thinks that the person holding her in his arms is LeonâKevinâs low voices resemble Leonâs. The same goes for the frown on his forehead, she found a trace that resembled Leon and focused on it.
The thought of Leon wanting her and embracing her roughly made her easily aroused. Even when she was doing something she didnât want to do at all.
Moving her back on Kevinâs body. It was like a real prostitute, something she wouldnât have done except for his intimidation.
âAahh, aaahhh! Aaaang!â
Olivia shut her eyes and looked down. Her heart fluttered at the slender waists in line with the creaking sound of the bed, a muffled sound of flesh against flesh resounded. It was when she stopped breathing for a moment at the pleasure strongly approaching her.
He grabbed her wrist and raised it.
As her back was bent, her chin lifted up, and a strange sound leaked out. His member mercilessly poked her lower abdomen, which had floated slightly on her knees.
She let out an unfamiliar moan that she didnât even know she had, as her waist was bent over as if it was about to break. Her face burned as red as the color of her hair.
âSlowâslow down, please, Kevin! Uhhnngg!â
She appealed with a tearful expression, but Kevin was unstoppable. He was also excited to see his manhood brutally ravaging her inside with her thighs wide open.
âOlivia, Olivia, Olivia!â
The waves came in an instant, and he trembled. She, too, eventually gasped for breath. It was still not enough, though Kevin had already stopped. Still, not wanting to move her back anymore, she came down from his body.
Olivia watched Kevin grin as he pulled his length out of her entrance. After wiping the love fluid and the s*men flowing between his legs, Kevin observed her curiously.
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
âPlease give me the medicine.â
As she reached out her hand, he handed her a vial. Though when she tried to pick it up, it was snatched away by Kevin.
âShould you take this medicine?â
âI guess so, we were going to get married.â
That was the excuse for having their first relationship, which prevented her from rebelling when she was uneasy with her precarious position.
Olivia was young at the time, thinking it was all she had, she eventually accepted the rape-like relationship. Indeed, she was young then.
It was only later that she found out that it was Kevinâs lip service. The reason she was here is to exist as Kevinâs prostitute. If she were to marry him, she would only be his mistress, though she could not be formally married.
Of course, what kind of noble would marry someone from the country that they defeated and colonized?
âIf youâre serious about marriage, why didnât you tell His Excellency that weâre in a relationship?â
Kevinâs eyes widened as if surprised by her words. Meanwhile, she quickly took the medicine from his hand and drank it.
âThatâs why youâre upset?â
However, her gaze was cold as she spoke her next words.
âI donât believe you anymore.â
âIâm sad about this. I really wanted to marry you.â
âIsnât brother making me your mistress?â
Kevin smiled without denying it. Nonetheless, Olivia was not hurt because her heart was already tattered to be hurt. When she saw her usage, she gave up her own future.
She doesnât know how she will live in the future, though if this body is worth using, she will continue to live this life as it is. She knew all too well that it would be better than dying as a prostitute like her mother.
For her, the tragic death of her mother often appeared as a nightmare.
âItâs good that youâre so clever.â
âWhere I buried my thing, and youâre desperately trying to take the contraceptive pill. I mean, itâs cute.â
Kevin pointed to his own leg. The red flesh was erect again.
At that, he smiled as she frowned at his manhood which had raged against her.
âThe medicine, take another one.â
âBrother, stop itâŠâ
âOlivia, I really like you. Youâre quiet and not loud like other b*tches, I appreciate what you have. So, I want to stay with you for a long time.â
âIâll take care of you, in some form.â
He grabbed her wrist and laid her down. He then licked the tip of her painfully bitten chest with his tongue, and sucked it as if he were sucking milk.
With the stinging pain, she bit her lip. Olivia struggled, but soon gave up her resistance. Either way, Kevin would do whatever he wanted.
So, as she relaxed her body, Kevin made her lie face down on the bed. Another love affair as intense as ever. Accepting him, she lay face down on the sheet. Nothing changed. Itâs just a matter of whether or not it gets worse than this.
âOlivia. Call my name.â
Kevin moved his waist, calling her name.
As she let out a moan as an obligation, she realized that her room was slightly open. For some reason, she was concerned about that open gap.
As a child, her mother would often walk with her in the garden wearing the parasol. Her figure was so beautiful that she said she wanted to be like her mother, too.
She was always told that the parasol was a luxury. So, among those who come to Deorcâs mansion, she would always be envious of those who wore the parasol.
The sight of the ladies walking around gracefully wearing their parasols made her flutter. It seems that this was also included in what Leon ordered to buy. She cherished this parasol the most.
She gazed out the window. The day was sunny and it was a good day to bring a parasol. She carefully opened the parasol. It was new, so it was difficult to unfold, although when she saw it all unfolded, Olivia was amazed. It shone white in the sunlight, and the delicately woven lace was very beautiful.
She took it and walked carefully through the garden. She liked the new white chemise dress, as well as the parasol.
The maids carrying the laundry stared at her with unkind eyes, but it didnât matter.
The sky was blue, and white clouds hung in the sky. Having the parasol like this, the scorching sunlight was not dazzling at all. It was quite interesting to see the garden with her eyes open in the strong sunlight.
With an excited expression on her face, she stopped when she saw a man who had just appeared out of nowhere as she was walking through the garden.
As he walked down the path, he gazed at her and he came straight up to her. Perhaps the sun was stinging or the ground was uncomfortable, he was frowning.
Leon glanced at her without saying a word. Olivia was puzzled by that gaze. Could it be that he didnât like the fact that she was walking around with the parasol? Like all the other maids?
What he offered and disproved of logically made no sense to her, but it felt like that to her.
Thinking that, she tried to fold the parasol, although it didnât fold well since she hadnât been used to it yet. So, as a result, as she was whining while clutching the parasol, Olivia blushed at the stupidity she was doing in front of him.
Eventually, Leon came over and grabbed the handle instead and folded it neatly.
She swept her hair behind her ear with a shy expression, revealing the hidden neckline. His gaze turned to it, but Olivia didnât notice it. Instead, she only swept her pitiful hair.
âYou seem to be in a good mood today.â
His regards were a little strange. There was even a sign of dissatisfaction with what she liked. Maybe it was a mistake, but when she gave him a bewildered look, he put the parasol in her hand again.
As Leon got closer, he smelled her perfume.
âAre you always out at this hour?â
Olivia hesitated at his question. Why is this question coming up? Then, she realized that he was asking for a small conversation. She didnât even need to find a reason in the first place. He talked to her a lot these days.
Even though Leon looked unhappy, Olivia was happy with this conversation.
âNo, I came out because the sun was nice.â
He pulled himself away then spoke while looking at her face.
âMy brother is going to be away for a while.â
Kevin? He didnât say anything like that yesterdayâŠ?
At the sudden news, she widened her eyes.
âThis morning, he received an order from His Majesty. He is probably getting ready to leave now.â
Leon seemed to be paying attention to that because he thought she and Kevin were close. Since in the first place, he didnât really need to tell her anything about Kevin.
As her expression clouded when the word Kevin appeared in the pleasant conversation, his two eyes examined it closely.
âAre you sure you donât want to say goodbye?â
âNo, I donât want to get in the way of him getting ready.â
Rather, Olivia hesitated whether to talk to Leon or not. Because he always came back in the evening and was never at home during the day.
âDidnât he go to the palace today?â
That simple question was too difficult for her. But, when she gathered her courage and opened her lips, he turned his body and disappeared. There was no such thing as saying goodbye.
Oliviaâs expression darkened again in the coldness. Looking at her folded parasol, she sighed with a heavy expression on her face. He must have been in a bad mood today.
In such a situation, it may be natural to feel twisted when he sees her taking a walk without notice. Leon was also a man.
Olivia gripped the parasol tighter.
She seemed to have to be careful about walking, too.
Looking back, after Leon returned, she felt more comfortable in the mansion. Neither the maids were blatantly displeased with her, and the butler was also respectful to her. Everything was rich and overflowing to the point of being burdensome.
She enjoyed the comfort. Seeing Leon she occasionally encounters, there were heartbreaking moments too. She expected him to secretly eat with her or have a tea time in the tea room, though he looked busy, and after asking if there was anything inconvenient when meeting her, Leon just coldly went into his room.
Is she being treated coldly?
Or, maybe he doesnât feel the need to have a conversation?
At first, she was excited and wanted to talk about something, but his low attitude made her withdrawn, and in the end, Olivia almost never left her room, like before.
When she went out, it was always without Leon. It was her little happiness to go for a walk while blocking the intense sunlight of the approaching summer with the parasol.
That day, she was also walking. It suddenly rained like a fickle summer weather.
Since the parasol was used to block the sunlight, not the rain, Olivia was drenched because of the sudden rain. After she folded the parasol, she frowned as she brushed away her wet hair. It was because the wet chemise dress was stuck against her body, and it was unpleasant.
The heavy rain that had fallen so much that it obscured the view turned into lighter rain, but she would still get rained on to get to the entrance. In the end, she frowned under the tree, avoiding the rain. However, she thought that it would be all right if she just went and got wet, anyway.
Deciding not to run, she walked slowly to the porch. It was raining so no one was outside, so she was relieved that she didnât need to show herself.
It was when she reached the front door.
Leonâs voice made her startled and glanced back.
Why does he have to be there? He was looking at her with a puzzled expression on his face, which made her ashamed.
âLetâs go in and talk.â
He hurriedly cut her off and he put a cloak on her. It was one he was wearing. Although they were at the front door anyway, so Olivia thought she didnât need to put on this cloak, but she didnât want to refuse the consideration he gave her.
As soon as she entered the mansion, Leon beckoned the butler who had been with him. As she made her way into her room to change her clothes, he followed.
Gazing at him with a puzzled expression, Leon said in a low tone.
âDidnât I tell you to talk to me?â
His voice wasnât very loud, but it was the most intense of all the voices she had ever heard.
Is there anything he has to say? She tilted her head. As soon as Olivia entered her room, she took off the cloak and handed it to him. He stared at her for a while as she took the cloak off.
âWhat do you want to talk about?â
She wanted to change her wet clothes and was embarrassed to continue talking for a long time like a mouse wet in the rain.
Leon stared at her face for a long while before sighing and shook his head. He let out a sound of laughter, which was heard by her as a sneer and Olivia opened her eyes wide.
âI donât even know if what was said is true.â
She looked at Leon with a puzzled expression. He was gazing at her with a cool expression. What was engraved in his eyes was clearly contemptâfamiliar contempt. It felt like her chest was sinking.
âLook at Miss Claudelâs figure now.â
He uses the word figure. In an obvious negative sense, at that, she stared into the mirror in her room. Her face hardened.
It was the first time she had seen a dress like this, so she didnât know exactly what it would look like. The wet cloth was transparent, exposing her skin intact. Her thighs, buttocks, navel, and even the bright red n*pples. It was like standing in front of him naked.
âYour, Your Excellency, this isâŠâ
Olivia was ashamed. She was ashamed and wanted to cover her body with the cloak again. But, the cloak was already in his hands.
âIt seems that you and brother have already mixed bodies.â
She flinched her body at those words that wanted to make her kill herself once again.
âAs soon as I went out, did you continue to do that?â
ââŠYour Excellency.â
âYou donât have to tell me. Iâve already seen it with my own two eyes.â
âHe was really passionate.â
With the shock that he had seen her affair with Kevin, the cold ridicule that came out of his mouth made her feel like she was falling into an abyss. It wasnât very cold, though her body shuddered.
âAt first, I knew and thought to just let it go, but seeing what you are doing now, I canât get over it.â
âUnfortunately, my brother is going to get married to another noblewoman⊠Unfortunately, he cannot marry Miss Claudel.â
âYou probably didnât know.â
Did you think you could marry Kevin?
Realizing the hidden implications of his words, Olivia felt the floor crumble. She knew. She knew, but she did not expect to hear these words from Leonâs mouth. Even so, isnât a situation like this too cruelâŠ?
Her face grew whiter and whiter.
âAfter listening to my brother and the butler and other employees, they said that the Miss seduced him first. Is it true?â
âBrother Kevin said that?â
âIt was said that there was no love between the two of you, only a physical relationship. He explained that you couldnât live without a man.â
Oddly enough, her tears, which had been overcome by shame, disappeared, and her head became cold.
The emotions that came out of her mouth were not only sadness, but also anger. The feeling of being betrayed by Kevin, however, Leonâs stake in the current anger was greater.
In front of Leon, only in front of Leon, she could be a shy girl. Although Olivia was not a sophisticated noble lady, she was an ordinary woman with a heart with affection for him. It was quite a happy thing to fall in love with him in her gloomy life. Although now, he was apparently treating her as a prostitute.
Why does he dare to ask if this is true? Isnât he already showing cold contempt?
He already believes what his brother Kevin says and what his employees say. Look at that face. Already, he was convinced of everything and just wanted to ask her to confirm.
She knew she had no choice but to defend herself. It used to be like that when she was beaten by Kevin, too. Even if Olivia later agreed to him, she was hurt by the forced relationship.
When she cried and told the maid she didnât know what to do, the maid only said in a chilly tone, âThe Miss seduced him too.â This man was no differentâŠ
She smiled coldly at the betrayal.
âYes, I seduced him.â
Already, her heart ached as if it were being ripped into a thousand parts. But for the first time, she faced him proudly.
âIf I said that, would you be satisfied?â
Saying so, she smiled bitterly.
Leon tried to say more, but she didnât want to hear it.
âWhat did the employees say? Do they say Iâm a prostitute? Yes, thatâs right. Thatâs what I saw and learned.â
Olivia smiled coldly. When he didnât answer, the painted smile on her face was sad. It was strangely cool. Whether he knew anything about her or her relationship with Kevin, she felt freed from the strange sense of guilt she had harbored.
âYou already knew and asked, do I need to hide it?â
She stroked her hair as water dripped from it. Then, Olivia opened her mouth and asked again after a sudden thought.
âI wonder if thatâs why you sent Brother Kevin away?â
âThen, what will you do?â
At his answer, she smiled bitterly.
Doesnât that seem that he is trying to âisolateâ Kevin from something sick and dirtyâŠ?
âIs it true what you said that you canât live without a man?â
As they went further, it became more and more difficult to hear. His words plunged her into an even more inseparable abyss.
Is this confirmation? Or, is it to mock her? Maybe it was both, she didnât know. Olivia was angry at this situation, and at him for taking the blatant words casually.
Eventually, she got fed up with this desperate situation. Even if she says no, no one can prove it. Kevin and the employees have already made her that way. If she said of her innocence, would this person believe her? It wasnât the answer.
Even in the grim reality, if there was one wish she had, she would never want to leave this very mansion. Because the other world was scary.
Whatever her future was, she wanted to stay here. After Leon returned, she wanted to see him until her allowed time. Nevertheless, that dream was shattered. He now despised her as a prostitute.
Thinking it was all over, she felt a little exhausted.
âThen what will you do?â
âWhy, so youâre going to be Kevinâs replacement?â
He gazed at her with his eyes wide open. Olivia now waited for his contemptuous words to be uttered towards her. He will soon shout at her to get out of the mansion right now. She didnât know, maybe she will be beaten for insulting him.
Thatâs how tired she was.
What if she gets kicked out? She has no blood, and her country has already disappeared. Will Kevin come back and find her?
She didnât want to go down the same path as her mother, and she tried to stay in this mansion. At least, in the end, she didnât want it to look like thisâŠ
As tears were about to form in Oliviaâs eyes, she heard his voice.
She had never doubted her own hearing as much as what she heard at this moment. Hearing the unexpected words, she widened her eyes wide and stared at him.
He almost looked like he was glaring at her.
âIt means that I will satisfy you on behalf of my brother. So, donât do that with my brother anymore.â
That face was more serious than ever.
As she was dumbfounded, Leon just walked out of her room, like a confirmation shot.
âI will come back when the moon tilts west.â
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
