Chapter 147
Zeleskiaz’s heartbeat began to gain peace as he learned what the long text hid.
A new opportunity that implied he had yet to be hated by the Lady, one that ensured more encounters, more chances to be near her lovely figure and most importantly... To befriend her as he should, learning more of her fascinating personality and at the same time... Redeem himself to show the commitment he placed on the rosy sunset kiss, pledging to own her as she already does with his soul, courting her as the Lady’s elegance deserves.
’The rumours she heard... Might all be true..... Yet I won’t let that harm our relationship, Lady..... My craving’s motive is yet to be known to myself..... But it is certainly not unfounded.’
"It was your intriguing existence that drew me into those cravings, Lady Marianne... Yet... As to my answer to this generous proposal... I ask of you to grant it upon me because the anguish I have felt ever since I left your chambers yesterday... Is one that I only want to suffer if you are not near me, instead of it being over the uncertainty the results of my unbecoming behaviour may inflict on your perceptions."
Zeleskiaz’s response came out with confident meaning as his manly low voice, listlessly peachy and wistful, reached her ears, sending a caress with its pleasant sound, overwhelming her being with suffocating distress.
’Hnnng... This tension I feel is no good..... I feel like he’s driving me in with his natural seduction skills.....’ — Elizabeth thought, frustrated at his passionate eyes, apparently devoid of lies, eventually causing the woman to dainty avert her eyes because her flushed cheeks had started to gain more colour the more their gazes met.
If not for her host’s condition, the girl would have bit her lips in reaction to how strongly she wished to believe his sincere words.
’... His way of acting with me must have turned me dumber..... Use well this chance I’m giving you, Crown Prince... Because seeing how things are turning... I feel you won’t be the only one having a hard time with these conditions...’
Her body was trembling slightly, harmonizing with the thrill of the current silence the two were in. She had not enough experience to know that the weak shivering of her body and the hazy thoughts roaming her, were the manifestations of her own desire to feel his touch as the weight of the man’s fierce eyes laid on her, restraining their lust.
"..."
How she avoided returning her sights to meet Zeleskiaz’s had him on edge for how gorgeous she posed as the embarrassment from his declaration painted her visage in juicy pink.
Admiring her figure... Sumptuously entrancing, he also had drowsy statements to declare in the nonplussed lands of his mind before breaking the agonising pause.
