chapter 69

Her melancholy (2)

The door of the room forcefully opened without a knock and a tall shadow came in .

“Lukrov! What happened? Why the rush?”

Lukrov, who had been patrolling around the inside of the castle – he always said that the guard became slow and lazy during the rainy season – was supposed to retire late, but he came to the bedroom earlier than expected .

Chizuru lifted the sheets from her body and sat up, waiting for him to approach her .

‘But… Why? The closer he was, the darker and stiffer his eyes looked . ’

Although he was wearing chain mail armor, his movements were quiet, and in a blink of an eye, he was looming above her .

“Lu-Lukrov …?” She tested .

“I won’t believe it!” He muttered .

After muttering this line, Lukrov stretched out his arm and captured Chizuru’s neck .

“I don’t believe it . You promised me!! You made an oath to never leave my side ever again! Was it a lie?!”

She felt as though her heart was tightening in her chest and was unable to make a sound . The only thing she managed to do was to shake her head from left to right trying to say “No . ”

Lukrov leaned forward, and she was able to feel his hot, rough breaths on her face .

“I’ll tie you up and keep you locked in here forever if I have to . ”

Clearly, Lukrov was angry . It was clear from the deep wrinkles between his brows . He pulled his hands away from her, but his face was still stiff . Not knowing what to do next, she just shook her head again and waited for Lukrov’s next action .

Chizuru stood there, stiff and trembling . When he saw what he had done, it was almost like hitting an invisible wall and being upset about it, or as if a boy realized that the pranks he made were hurtful and vowed to never do it again .

He stood there, not knowing what to do…

“Lukrov, what’s wrong with you? Please talk properly and tell me so I can understand…” Chizuru pleaded .

Just then, Lukrov shrugged his shoulders as if he had been crushed and buried his face in Chizuru’s neck .

“Fuck!”

The sound he made with his manly voice tickled Chizuru’s nape .

“Damn, it happened again … I lose myself when it comes to you . I can’t see or think properly…”

Lukrov’s weight was heavy on her shoulders, but she managed to stretch her arms and hold him .

When he felt her hug, he rubbed himself on her neck as if wanting to be spoiled .

Seeing that, Chizuru thought to herself that he looked like a large dog hungry for love . For the time being, it seems that his anger had settled . She hesitated a bit, then stretched her arm to stroke Lukrov’s short black hair lovingly .

“Why do you suddenly say that? Did you hear anything from anyone?”

Lukrov did not answer immediately . As if ashamed of himself, he silently buried his face even further into her neck . Before she knew it, his hands were wrapped around her back and hugging her tightly .
