chapter 72

Forever Beside You (1)

Now she felt like she could ask him honestly .

She was sure that there was no need for any secrets to exist between the two of them .

“Actually … she came to me and threatened me in a similar way . ”

“Who?”

Lukrov’s tone was as if he forgot the existence of the Count’s daughter in the castle, so Chizuru reminded him .

“Lady Exia . ”

“Oh, that witch . Damn, I shouldn’t have allowed her to stay in the castle . What did she say to you?”

“She . . She said that…she once had a relationship with you …”

Although she intended to say it in a casual tone and tried not to be stiff at all, she noticed her voice was quivering slightly .

It scared her to even imagine what Lukrov’s reaction would be .

The man who was once called the Knight of Fire, that name did not come from nothing .

He groaned in a low voice and looked back at her with eyes filled with murderous intentions .

“What . Did . You . Say?”

He spoke slowly .

She could feel the anger in his voice with every word that came from his mouth .

Chizuru followed up quickly saying,

“It’s alright . I know she was only telling lies to try and get in between us . I didn’t believe anything she said, and even if it was true, it’s not like I blame you or anything . It’s been 14 years . Having a relationship once or twice is normal, even if there was a relationship between you two, I understand that all, and I’m not angry . “

“Chi . zu . ru“

Lukrov’s voice grew even more terrifying .

“Men, mmhm, they need it sometimes right?…so…well, I don’t really care …?”

“Shut up!”

Lukrov pushed Chizuru onto the sheets with such force that it seemed like the bed would crack, and got on top of her . Chizuru gasped without thinking .

Their faces were so close that they could kiss .

Lukrov looked more serious than ever, and slowly declared in a deep voice:

“I swear on the souls of Edina and Zain . I’ve never had a relationship with another woman . Not even once . Ever since I met you, and during the fourteen years that I lost sight of you . I’ve never even thought of it . ”

“Lukrov …”

Hearing that, the only thing she could do was to call his name .

It was a confession that was so sincere . So heavy, so hot .

And he wasn’t even done yet .

“Look, Chizuru, there are times when a man certainly needs to release . But I have a right hand that works properly, and that was enough . ”

“Right …”

Hand .

Release .

For a moment, the inside of her head turned blank .

Chizuru was not a baby either . She immediately realized what the words he spat out meant, which turned her face bright red .

“I tried to forget you, I can’t deny this . But that doesn’t mean that I was able to forget you and tried to move on to another woman… RELATIONSHIP???! Don’t make me laugh . If she is going to spit nonsense, tell her to come back with a better lie . ”

Perhaps because he said what he wanted, Lukrov’s voice regained a little composure, but the irritation was still visible on his face, not that he was trying to hide it in the first place .

While Chizuru was at a loss for words, Lukrov made his way to her lips and kissed her till she was breathless . Then he moved to place hot kisses on her throat and ears .

“Ah . ”

“And once again, I swear . Going forward, this will never change . I will never touch any other woman for the rest of my life . ”

Chizuru was so overwhelmed that when she tried to call out his name, no sound came out . She couldn’t even manage a whisper .

“And … again, countless times, swear that you will not leave me . ”

That vow, that oath, that promise .

She had no intention of breaking it, but now she would protect it even if it cost her life .

“Yes . ”

Chizuru managed to answer, even though her voice seemed choked with tears .

“Yeah … I’ll never leave you . I’ll be by your side at all times … Rest assured . ”
