The Tyrant Covets The S*ave - Chapter 39

After the destruction of the slave’s home base, it was hard to see Lucai. There were many things he had to deal with, including the illegal activities of the Vitan Empire and the crimes that touched the spiritualists and their families.

 

Fortunately, they were able to find all the traces of Ron’s abduction.

Also, even traces of suspicious research.

After reporting all these facts, Lucai was honored by the emperor for his achievements and even received a large gold mine and an additional knighthood.

 

Furthermore, when the emperor learned of Beher’s help, he invited her to dinner in person.

 

Having recovered to some extent, Beher wore an antique light pink dress.

 

“My lady! You are so beautiful!”

 

‘I don’t know how many times I hear those words.’

 

“Do you know how boring those words are?”

 

“I can’t help it even if you’re sick of it. You are so beautiful… I’m sure the Grand Duke will be mesmerized!”

 

Lucy clenched her fists. Beher couldn’t agree with what she said, but she was thankful for having Lucy by her side. Beher smiled softly.

 

She heard that Lucy was so exhausted that she couldn’t get up. But Lucy quickly recovered. According to the word of a passing maid, the medicine Ben had brought was quite effective.

 

The unexpected kindness made Beher think of Ben.

 

Although he was not her person, Ben was also a good man. In addition to his integrity, the “Elia” to which he belonged was a family that had been skilled in swordsmanship for generations and was loyal to the Grand Dukes.

 

With his good standing, he might make Lucy happy.

 

However, considering his history of background investigation of Beher, she did not want to allow him to go that far just yet.

 

***

Beher was on her way to dinner with the emperor, but Lucai still hadn’t shown up yet.

 

Naturally.

 

There was no way he was not busy because there was a great change in the world.

 

The first was that demons were showing suspicious movements.

 

As if a summon bell had rang, an army composed of demons had gathered in the Vitan Empire.

 

Beher was astonished by the fact that her father had finally created monsters. He must be the devil. He could no longer be treated as a human being.

 

 

The devil Ron had mentioned could be Beher’s father.

 

The second was the abductions caused by the Vitan Empire.

It was frequent for men and women, young and old, to suddenly disappear throughout the entire empire. She tried to find clues but could not.

 

The only thing they finally caught was the beguiling.

It became clear that the entity that did all of this was the Vitan Empire.

 

The whole country will not leave grief any longer. There will surely be war.

 

Terrible. She had to see the blood that would rise on the floor when war broke out. But she must counter it.

 

Even though Beher was prepared for all of that, her fingers trembled.

 

***

 

The carriage arrived at the Imperial Palace and stopped.

The carriage door opened and someone held out his hand to escort Beher. She thought it was a waiting knight. He was wearing a beautiful uniform.

 

But there was a familiar scent.

 

“….. you.”

 

“How have you been?”

 

Grand Duke Lucai, whose face Beher had not seen for some time, took Beher’s hand in his and helped her down from the carriage.

 

The pale pink dress fluttered down beautifully. Lucai, who was watching the figure carefully, opened his lips a little and fell silent.

 

Beher stared at him holding her hand still. She thought he had to move to move forward, but there was no movement.

 

“Grand Duke Lucai.”

 

She called his name in a low voice.

Then, as if just now waking up, he looked at Beher gently.

 

“…… It’s not a bad idea to call me by name.”

 

“His Majesty is waiting”

 

“Yes. Let’s go.”

 

He led Beher. He was considerate of her high heeled shoes and kept her pace.

 

Beher thought he would move forward on his own, but he was surprisingly attentive.

 

Then she had to ask the most important question.

 

“Did you report about me?”

 

Of course she thought he had reported her. In any case, it was partly due to the power she had shown him before and after. Besides, he even knew who she was.

 

There was no change in his expression.

He just shone in his navy blue uniform. The sun shone down on the corridor, which was densely studded with columns. As if he were the main character, his noble figure was revealed.

 

“Do you think I reported you?”

 

“No?”

 

Lucai chuckled as if it was absurd.

 

“I’m not a trustworthy man at all to you, aren’t I?”

 

At his words, Beher looked up at him.

 

“I didn’t say that.”

 

“That’s a lie.”

 

Beher didn’t hesitate at all. She really thought he reported her. Their trust was not that deep.

 

It was the same when they saved Lucy. They had something to gain

from each other, so they had to hold each other’s hands. That was all.

 

“If I were to tell them that fact, there would be more than one or two people who would try to take advantage of you. The name “spiritualist” will be wielded more than the status of Grand Duchess. If you intend to be used, you can make a fuss.”

 

“I don’t want to.”

 

“And if that happens, won’t it interfere with the contract we have made?”

 

If Lucai was right, she may not get the compensation she should get.

 

“You can stay calmly by my side. It will be even better if you do as I say.”

 

A warm breeze blew between the sun-drenched walls. Beher’s dress fluttered. Her red hair danced.

 

Lucai, who watched the scene next to her, unconsciously grabbed a handful of Beher’s hair. He let go of his hand to escort her.

 

Unaware that he had done so, Beher said only what she had to say.

 

“That’s hard to expect. To listen to you, it’s to the extent that the contract doesn’t break.”

 

Red hair overflowed between Lucai’s fingers. It felt like he had grabbed the roses to the fullest.

 

When he made no reply, Beher paused.

 

“What are you….?”

 

Lucai suddenly pressed Beher against the cold wall. It didn’t hurt, but she was too flustered to continue.

 

“It’s been a while.”

 

“What….”

 

“It’s good to check the love between a couple at a time like this.”

 

Lucai’s eyes were also filled with passion. A hot flame rose in the red eyes.

 

Does this man want to even at a time like this?

 

He probably forced himself on her because he wanted to.

Frankly speaking, she did not want to accept it. But it brought to mind what he had done for her.

 

He jumped to his death to save Lucy. He didn’t tell the emperor the fact that she was a spiritualist. Obviously, it was more than a contractual relationship.

 

“Isn’t that okay?”

 

There was no rejection as there usually was.

 

His face was slowly getting closer. A shadow covered Beher’s white face. Birdsong could be heard in the distance. The sunlight covered them both.

 

She could feel their hot breaths, as if melting right away. But soon, when the moist lips touched, she felt even hotter.

 

It was quiet. No one was buzzing. The whole world seemed to be just the two of them.

 

He kissed her upper lip. He bit her lower lip with his teeth and pulled it down. The gap between the lips opened by itself.

 

His hot tongue came in. Hotly, Beher wanted to refuse, but there was a contradiction she wanted to accept. Beher accepted him obediently. Each other’s lips were glued together.

 

Hard shoulders melted into unconsciously exhaled breaths. The hands wrapped around her waist moved, and Beher took an involuntary step backward.

 

When she retreated, it was only a cold wall.

 

Tongue and tongue were wrapped around each other. Saliva mixed in. As they continued their insistent kiss, Lucai took off his lips. He pressed her shiny lips with his thumb. Then in a slowly speed, he leaned in, kissing her neck.

 

“….. wait a minute.”

 

All she allowed was kissing. She did not want to allow any further progress.

 

Beher’s liver was not big enough to act insolently in the imperial palace where the emperor resided. She pushed Lucai’s chest with both hands.

 

As if he had no intention of being pushed out easily, Lucai was hard like a stone statue.

 

His breath was hot and itchy, as his hot tongue made a long trail. She felt like a moan would leak out, and Beher bit her lips.

 

Heat spread from one corner of her chest to all over her body. It was hot. Lucai looked up for a moment. His eyes were filled with amorous flames.

 

It seemed to say, “I want you right now.” But Beher could not respond to his wishes.

 

As if he knew her true feelings well, Lucai did not proceed any further. He carefully licked her lips and kissed her gently.

It was then.

 

“This. You can’t do this here. Grand Duke Lucai.”

 

A strange male voice was heard.

 

He has flashy blond hair and eyes, different from Lucai’s. A noble appearance. A handsome face. His blond hair fluttered in the wind.

 

“Go away.”

 

Lucai raised his head and gave a stern warning to the man. The man laughed belatedly as if his words were funny.

 

“I don’t want to. Are you going to continue?”

 

The man challenged Lucai. Lucai was still attached to Beher closely.

 

“What is wrong with here?”

 

As if they knew each other, Lucai finally moved away from Beher.

 

Didn’t they just kiss passionately? He had returned looking regal in an instant.

 

Beher arranged her clothes. She was very embarrassed that someone had discovered their act of affection.

 

“It is if it’s in my house, right?” (The man)

 

His house?

 

Beher finally glanced over to see who he was.

Not many people could stand up to Lucai without fear. At best, only the emperor and his descendants.

 

Then… yes.

 

Does that mean that blonde-haired young man is the Crown Prince?

 

Beher looked at him with a face full of curiosity. The young man who noticed her gaze suddenly approached her.

 

“I’m sorry I’m late in greeting you. Grand Duchess.”

 

He raised Beher’s hand. It meant to be treated with courtesy.

Chok.

 

He kissed the back of Beher’s hand beautifully and looked up.

 

“Eden Rike. It’s my name. You’ll be my sister in-law. I look forward to your kind cooperation.”

 

A smile spread across his lips. He looked at Lucai and Beher alternately as if he were having fun.

 

***

 

*I want to remind you again that Lucai is NOT related to the emperor or this Crown Prince. The emperor made Lucai a Grand Duke and treated him like his own son because of his outstanding talent. Since he was like a member of the royal family, this Crown Prince is like his brother, so the CP called Beher ‘sister -in-law’.
