When the Nemesis Eats the Wicked Woman - Chapter 102

* * *

Rixus told me he happened to have a place to go with me.

“Where?”

“You’ll know when we’ve reached there.”

Where was he taking me so suddenly? We were in a carriage I saw for the first time.

‘It feels like I’m on a carpet.’

It must have been a bumpy road, but the carriage moved forward smoothly.

“Rixus, did you order a new carriage?”

“Yes. Do you like it?”

With that said, I tried to gauge the carriage’s performance.

There was no shaking, and it was separated into a space completely independent from the driver, so there was no way he could hear what we were saying.

“I like it. But the last carriage we rode was similar…”

In modern terms, it was a limousine.

Leaning back on a comfy chair wrapped in a purple velvet cover, Rixus said,

“These horses grew up eating magic herbs, so they can increase their maximum speed by 200%. It’s like you can teleport while riding this carriage.”

So… A carriage that added sports car performance to the limousine ride?!

‘I’ve never seen such a fraudulent item.’

I pressed myself hard into the comfortable seating like I was digging into a soft bed.

He said that he was meticulously preparing for the wedding, and he even prepared such a thing.

I looked at his side profile with a confused gaze.

‘While preparing for the wedding so passionately…’

Earlier, at the private practice space… 

‘He was with Yuria.’

Additionally, Yuria’s face was bright red.

Plus, a shy smile.

It was the expression of a woman who was sure of love.

‘There isn’t any reason the two of them met alone in the private practice room?’

If it was the Rixus I knew, even if Yuria had come, he would have pushed her away.

She would have left the place crying, not with a dreamy expression.

‘Is it possible that he’s acting with all his might?’

The figure of Rixus looking out of the window seemed strangely restless for some reason. I became more convinced by such appearance.

‘I guess my hunch about love is accurate…!’

I usually had good senses. Especially towards the flesh.

So, I must have also had a good sense for love.

It was obvious, based on my own terms, that he drank the Heart of Eros and was confused.

‘The wedding is near and you want another woman… I wonder how hard it must be.’

Loving a woman he didn’t want, and having such lust… I looked at him with salty eyes.

I felt so sad when I thought that he would not be able to express that love and that he would be in a lot of pain.

Unless he took the antidote for the Heart of Eros, it would always be like that.

I quietly placed a hand on Rixus’ cheek.

“……Really, you poor man.”

“?”

Rixus, who was looking out the window, turned to face me with his eyebrows raised.

He shifted his jaw muscles as if chewing on his molars for a moment, then opened his mouth belatedly.

“……I’ve been sitting still for a long time because your pity for me was like a proof of love.”

“…….”

“Hey, why do you keep pitying me?”

He seemed to be pretending nothing was wrong. Look at him, asking me as if he was really curious.

It was even more sad to see that, and my eyes became moist.

So, without a word, I stroked his hair.

“….…”

Soon, his eyes that seemed dirty with temperament narrowed, and he wrapped a hand around my chin, bringing my head close then threatening lowly.

“If you don’t tell me, I will bite you.”

“!”

Shocked, I responded without thinking.

“Where?”

Instead of answering, he watched me closely with his lips slightly curled.

‘At this point… Before I am really bitten, I should ask the question I had been thinking about.’

“Rixus, you love me…”

“It’s quite obvious.”

But despite the difficult question, he answered in 0.1 seconds.

His eyes were completely unshakable. It didn’t seem like a lie, it just couldn’t be made up.

‘…Does that mean that he loves me, and that he loves Yuria too?’

Thinking like that, it was much, much more painful than loving only Yuria.

I slapped his hand away from my chin and glared at him.

“You’re unexpectedly a flirt.”

“Who?”

Rixus looked at me with a totally incomprehensible face, and then laughed soullessly as if he were dumbfounded.

“Me?”

Then, as if it was unfair, he pointed at himself with his index finger and asked one more time.

“……Me?”

Rixus whispered in a low tone, looking as if he couldn’t understand what the hell I was thinking.

“You’re just saying stupid things, so I’ll have to shut your mouth.”

“….…”

“With my lips.”

“Ah!”

In a flash, he picked me up and sat me on his thighs.

My heart fluttered in surprise.

I stared at Rixus, who was close enough to kiss, and quickly covered my mouth with my hand.

“I can stop that.”

He looked at me with his eyes squinted as if he was asking, ‘Really?’

Soon, I felt a hot breath on the back of my neck… His lips touched the sensitive skin of my nape, it felt as if it was going to burn.

“!”

Immediately, exhalation and inhalation were intertwined, and short breaths sprang forth.

His wet tongue peeked out between his lips, and it went across my collarbone…

After grazing it, he headed further down.

With his nose rubbing and pressing against my chest, he inhaled deeply.

“….…”

He stuck out his soft tongue and tasted the exposed skin. Like a cheeky boy who craved very delicious and sweet ice cream.

That strange sensation spread through my arms, my back, the inside of my thighs, and the tips of my toes.

“….…”

I swallowed a groan.

My eyes were closed and my head was tilted gently.

It was then. When it was as if his white teeth were scraping me with excitement.

“Ah…!”

I couldn’t help but exclaim at the strange sensation engraved.

My hand, which had been covering my mouth, gently grabbed his shoulder.

I finally realized.

Where he said he was going to bite.

‘He’s not really a dog. Just why is he biting?’

“….…”

My face was all red from some kind of resentment, and when I looked down at him, he licked the area where he had earlier grazed with his teeth as if to appease me.

Heat erupted from my lower abdomen, and my toes clenched.

“Queen…”

Rixus drew a long trajectory with his tongue, and went up past my collarbone, to my sensitive ear, and whispered,

“You’re so sensitive… Can you stop me?”

I felt like I was going to be crushed by the hot breath pouring into my ear.

In the midst of this, I gave in to him for a while, and my heart burned.

Certainly, the skinship was getting deeper and deeper since the festival.

I was getting used to him too.

I pushed my hands into his hair, held him very tightly, and looked straight into his eyes.

Then I glared at him properly and scolded him,

“Are you really a naughty dog?”

“…….”

He smiled softly and gently licked the boundary of my lips, making them part.

After pecking my lips, he whispered a very small, low, secretive whisper.

“Then please change your habits, Master.”

Every time his lips touched, it was sweet. I couldn’t bear it any longer and hugged him by the neck, initiating a kiss.

His large, hot hands gripped my calves and brought them around his waist. Thereafter, he held my bare thighs.

We kissed and caressed each other frantically.

Whenever the memory of Yuria’s shy smile inadvertently popped up, I became more active.

As much as that jealousy, my heart warmed up. And ironically, the kisses became even more intense and exhilarating.

The romantic and hot kisses in the carriage continued.

In that small space, we thoroughly checked each other out. Until the carriage stopped.

* * *

“It shouldn’t be swaying.”

After Rixus got off the carriage, he gently supported me, who was slightly off-balanced.

I was dressed in fairly refined clothes, and Rixus was a dignified and noble prince himself. Not a single thing seemed to be disturbed.

However, there was still a strange and hot heat between the two of us.

Every time our eyes met, my heart pounded and trembled, and I felt shy. That was why I couldn’t focus well.

“Thank you, Rixus.”

But I did not express it, instead, I lowered my eyes.

It was then. The cuffs attached to his wrists suddenly caught my eye.

“…….”

That… I was sure I had seen it before?

It was not just something I had merely seen. It was something I was familiar with.

It was the magic tool that the Magic Tower sent to my magic lab to get advice.

“Rixus, this is…”

“Would you like to?”

As he brought my hand to his sleeve, I shook my head quickly.

“Is this a magic tool?”

Rixus replied, raising his sleeve.

“My wife told me to take care of myself until the wedding day, so I always carry it with me.”

“…….”

‘…Oh my, how could there be such a brilliant and wonderful husband!’

I realized it late, my mouth fell open slightly.

‘If it was that magic tool, he wouldn’t have been hit by the Heart of Eros?’

‘Right, isn’t Rixus a very cautious man?’

At the same time, I was embarrassed to find out that my gut feeling for love was ‘dung chok’, and also…

A small question arose.

Then, why did Yuria go out with a blushing face?

Whatever the reason, Rixus seemed to be pretending to be deceived.

I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t. To ask that, I would have to answer why I knew about the Heart of Eros……

Yggdrasil would also have to be said, but I didn’t have the confidence to perfectly articulate how I persuaded Shadow.

To a man who doubted that there was already something deceiving.

‘…About the case of Yuria, it’s better to trust Rixus.’

When it came to dealing with a woman who had a crush on one’s husband, trusting the husband was not a common belief.

Ah, to think that I had developed such a firm belief in Rixus. It felt unfamiliar, but touching.

“…But where is this?”

“Come here.”

I held Rixus’s hand and followed him.

The cool breeze of the open sea weaved through my hair.

Ires got off another carriage and quietly handed Rixus a bouquet of flowers.

Rixus put it on a small statue.

And, looking up at the statue, I was surprised.

“!”
