The Tyrant Covets The S*ave - Chapter 16

They were on their way back to the Grand Ducal Palace after the audience with the Emperor. The afternoon sunlight coming into the carriage was warm and made Beher feel sleepy.

 

Just before she dozed off, a quiet voice penetrated her ears.

 

“Are you tired?”

 

“No.”

 

She replied, her misty eyes round as a full moon. The dozing off was caused by the nightmares she had been having lately, which prevented her from sleeping properly.

 

The shadow of her father, who visited her every night, made it hard for Beher to sleep. Even if she swung her arms around and kicked her legs, the nightmares would not go away.

 

It was painful to relieve the pain by herself. Beher sighed silently.

 

What would happen if this nightmare came every night even if she succeeded in her revenge? Can she say that it was successful?

 

She felt weak. Beher leaned back in the carriage and looked out the window. Thanks to the early end of the meeting, she could see a brighter view of the empire.

 

It was dazzling with the peaceful background. However, she had a headache as she had many things to do in the future.

 

“…Beher.”

 

“…….”

 

“Beher!”

 

“Huh?”

 

Beher was lost in thought. The voice of Grand Duke Lucai was quite sharp. When she finally came to her senses, Beher looked at his face.

 

His face was shadowed and his brows were furrowed in anger.

 

“Are you angry with me?”

 

She looked at him, blinking her innocent eyes. Lucai looked like he had a lot to say, but his mouth didn’t open.

 

“I’m sorry. I was just thinking about something else.”

 

The edges of his lips twitched.

 

“Everything I say must be boring. Or do you not want to talk?”

 

His red eyes changed, sharper than before.

 

“No.”

 

Beher answered with exhaustion.

 

Lucai tapped his shoes steadily. He seemed frustrated but his voice didn’t stop easily.

 

“…… are you mad at me for kissing you without permission?”

 

“……?”

 

“I told you. We have to be in love, and this is just the beginning. How are you going to get through it in the future?”

 

Beher was just frustrated because of the nightmare. Lucai had misunderstood. She tried to correct it, but he suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled it.

 

“Your Highness?”

 

To be frank, she didn’t stop him. However, she was sitting on his hard thighs. His beastly muscles that were strengthened by the war wriggled and tightened under her buttocks.

 

“There’s a lot of people outside.”

 

Beher said, aware of the people outside the carriage. She didn’t want to be made a spectacle of.

 

“So you’re saying you don’t want to?”

 

“…It’s not like that.”

 

“You just have to get used to it. Otherwise, that watcher behind us might notice our play.”

 

A watcher?

 

Beher’s eyes vibrated and shook. Lucai swept her red hair, stuffing his fingers full of it.

 

“His Majesty suspects. He is not well now, but he was very famous in his youth. Did you really think he would be fooled by our awkward play?”

 

Before long, Beher forgot where she was sitting. She concentrated on the noise outside. Surely she could hear some other sounds besides the carriage she was riding in, the sound of horses’ hooves.

 

‘We can’t be caught.’

 

How did she catch this important man? She didn’t want to miss the one thing she would definitely need for her revenge.

 

There was no shadow like it to avoid her father’s pursuit. She hid in the darkest, most secluded places. Her father would surely find her, and this time she may be brainwashed to complete the ugly experiment.

 

What should she do then?

 

Beher gently wrapped her hands around Lucai’s cheeks. When his cold cheeks had reached the same temperature as her hands, she gently brushed his lips.

 

“Your Highness seems to have much in common with His Majesty.”

 

Lucai’s eyes flashed with curiosity at Beher’s words.

 

“Why do you think so?”

 

Then he too stroked Beher’s cheek.

 

“You two are very thorough.”

 

The sound of the horses’ hooves was getting closer. They were almost close enough to see the inside of the carriage. Beher came up with an idea on how to fool the emperor.

 

She wasn’t confident, but she was desperate.

 

“…Excuse me.”

 

Immediately, she saw the head of a horse. Then Beher lowered her lips to Lucai’s lips. The red color seeped into him. She squeezed his lips as if she was putting a stamp on them.

 

She stuck out her tongue. She sucked his lower lip all the way in as if he had sweet jam on his lips. Beher didn’t stop there. She let out a hot breath and licked his moist lips with her tongue.

 

Lucai’s lips, which had been holding still, opened as if he had been waiting. Gently, she locked eyes with him. His red eyes shook slightly.

 

“What are you doing? Don’t suck on it right now.”

 

He seemed to be saying that it was a sloppy kiss. Well, she had never kissed anyone before. But there was a strange atmosphere between them.

 

Beher pushed her tongue between his lips. First, it touched his teeth. She mimicked the kiss that Lucai had given her.

 

‘First, lick the teeth, then suck the lower lip.’

 

Beher hugged his neck as hard as she could. It was a play to show that they loved each other. Beher felt something poking under her buttocks, but she simply assumed it was the skirt of her dress wrinkled.

 

She breathed through her nose, intoxicated by his scent. They kissed more intensely, smearing each other’s saliva. Eventually, she choked and Beher parted her lips for a moment to breathe, and the saliva fell in a curve.

 

“…Ha.”

 

His chest rose and fell, and Lucai too was out of breath. That was  when it finally seemed to stop. This time, his lips touched Beher’s lips. His gaze followed relentlessly, as if he didn’t want to miss a single thing. At the same time, his tongue was flexible.

 

Beher couldn’t take her eyes off him. His eyes shone like beautiful rubies and she felt it was eating her alive.

 

Then, as she looked across the carriage, Beher’s eyes grew wide.

The person she thought was the watcher sent by the emperor was none other than a child.

 

It was a little strange. No, it was weird.

 

As her tongue was being played, Beher turned to meet his gaze again. She could vaguely see a stirring beneath his eyes. Finally, Beher realized.

 

“This man! You tricked me!”

 

The children outside fled in surprise at the sight of the man and woman in the carriage. Beher pushed his shoulder to get out of his hands.

 

The first words came out of the man’s mouth as he removed his lips in a surprisingly straightforward manner.

 

“You can roll your tongue around quite a bit. I thought it was woodstone, but it tastes good when you roll it.”

 

“…Your Highness, what did you just do?”

 

Beher said through clenched teeth. She wanted to question him. She really thought the emperor had sent a watchman. But it wasn’t.

 

The play was the play, but this man seemed to be enjoying the situation right now.

 

“I kissed my wife. Is there a problem?”

 

“You told me there’s a watcher. I believed you!”

 

Lucai laughed. He seemed to really enjoy seeing the imposing woman panic.

 

“I never said it was true. I only guessed. What am I gonna do? My lips are still hot thanks to the passionate kiss.”

 

He was mean. She wanted to hit him immediately, but Beher clenched her fists and held back. It was always her who was at a disadvantage in this relationship. He knew that very well, which was why he grabbed her and shook her without permission.

 

Besides, even if he let her go, it was Beher who would lose. So…she would have to be patient.

 

Beher put her hands on the seat to get out of his arms. Her hand hit a hard object. It didn’t occur to her that it was the private part of the man.

 

It wriggled and was strangely round and long.

 

Lucai’s eyebrows twitched. He let out a weak, but excited moan.

 

Why is it?

 

Beher looked down at what she had touched. She could see it towering up from his firm thighs.

 

A strange thing she had only heard of and never seen before.

 

Beher had to think for a while about what it was. Then she realized.

 

“I didn’t know you’d be this active. I said it before. I don’t want to do it until the wedding. I was certainly trying to keep my word.” (Beher)

 

Rattle!

 

The carriage on the stone shook slightly. Beher’s body went straight into Lucai’s arms. She was tied in his arms and could not escape.

The shawl that covered her blue dress fell without effort. Her slender shoulders were now fully visible. Her collarbone was dimpled. Lucai buried his face in her slender neck.

 

Even in the crazy situation, the carriage ran without a break. It was just on its way to a secluded road with few people.

 

The unfamiliar hand that loosened the dress strap looked urgent.

 

The dress was loose. Beher pushed him hard on the shoulder. His red eyes were moist.

 

“Your Highness!”

 

“Why? Don’t you like it? You tried to seduce me and even touched my hard spot. Or did you touch it as a joke?”

 

“None of them. It was my mistake. So please….”

 

Lucai grabbed her chin with one hand.

 

“This is not a mistake. Even if it is a mistake, it can’t be reversed.”

 

What is he thinking! It was him who tricked her first but he said it like it was her fault to provoke him?! But was it that sensitive that he turned into a beast with just one touch?

 

Lucai’s hand gradually climbed to her waist.

 

“Your Highness, please calm down.”

 

She said as calmly as she could. She thought he would retreat, as he did the last time.

 

He was a man who liked to play cruel pranks.

 

“Beher. I’m a man. Keep in mind that it’s (his private part) not a smart animal who can calm down when you tell me to calm down.”
