Chapter 108: Teasing
"Your face seems unusually red... Are you alright? Should I call the physician?" he replied with a soft voice. But if one took notice of his voice, they could hear a little amusement hiding behind the gentle tone.
But Cassian did not, because he was too flustered to notice anything. His mind was already going in another direction, and after hearing the concerned voice of the City Lord, even his face started flushing like a red tomato.
"I am... m alright, my Lord. It’s because I have just woken up, and that was taking a toll on my body," Cassian lied with a straight face. He had to hide his embarrassed face one way or another. Why not just blame it on sickness?
"Huh! What are you doing, my Lord?" Cassian shrieked and jumped a few meters away from the City Lord, his voice shuddering with nervousness and disbelief.
He was just lost for a few seconds in his thoughts. He did not even know when the Lord’s hand came towards his forehead.
He only realized it when he felt a cold touch on his forehead. "Damn! It was too cold and comforting on his forehead," the thought crept into Cassian’s mind, which made Cassian’s face become even redder.
Now even he did not know if it was flushing with shame or anger at himself. Why did he not realize when he had become such a pervert that he was acting like this over someone’s touch?
"I was just checking if you had a fever that made your face flush like this." Now the man’s voice was more genuine and full of concern. He was fully unaware of what his actions were doing to Cassian.
But looking at Cassian’s reaction, a slow amused smile curled on his lips as he realized what was going on in his mind. But too bad Cassian could not see it as his face was obstructed with a mask.
