TAPGB - Chapter 107
The Abandoned Prince's Ghost Bride
“Keuhum!”
Leah and Lucian, who had finally confirmed their feelings for each other and were lost in their own world, came to their senses when they suddenly heard a voice.
As I slowly turned my head, I saw Caesar clearing his throat and giving me a look.
Both Lucian and I blushed at the fact that they kissed in front of him.
"Cae, Caesar..."
"Hmm. Are you done mating now?"
"Mate? Caesar, I've felt this before. Can you please stop using words like that?"
"Mating is called mating, so what do you say? Should we call it courtship?"
"What do I do with you?"
When I had cold eyes, Lucian took me in his arms and glanced at Caesar.
"You should have left the place without realizing it."
Caesar made a dumbfounded expression.
"What! If you think about it that way, you should have noticed and wooed her somewhere else first. You put on a big show in front of me."
"Sorry. It's my fault."
Lucian, who tried to counterattack but was unable to even get his chance, raised the white flag.
I burst out laughing when I saw Caesar snorting and Lucian looking embarrassed.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! What are you two doing?"
They have seen Leah laugh several times, but today they thought that her laughter was as sweet as a lark.
Both men smiled softly.
Caesar approached the two and stroked Leah's head.
"I knew it would be like this. Did I tell you? It's just a matter of time."
"Ish, it's noisy! I thought about it for a long time!"
"But the way I saw it, you were destined to pass over at some point. Whether it is fast or slow is just a difference in time."
Leah's pride was hurt when she thought that everything was figured out by Caesar, who was not like anyone else and had no clue at all.
As she was trembling, Lucian gently removed Caesar's hand from touching Leah's head.
Caesar blinked when he saw that.
"Now, I hope you will refrain from acting like this."
"Honestly. I haven't said it for a while, but Caesar has too much skinship."
"Little one, are you saying you're jealous of me?"
When Caesar asked in an absurd tone, Lucian made eye contact.
Caesar was dumbfounded at the sight of him not denying it, and Leah was equally surprised.
Soon, Caesar burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! For some reason, your eyesight has been unusual for a while. You don't like this, do you?"
Caesar dragged Leah from Lucian's arms and locked her in his arms. Lucian's eyebrows twitched when he saw Caesar resting his chin on the top of Leah's head, and then his gaze narrowed.
Leah covered her mouth when she saw Lucian jealous with burning eyes.
'Ooh, I can't laugh.'
Lucian is jealous.
Now that their hearts are on the same page and they have become lovers, the sight of the lover becoming jealous was very cute and lovely. Moreover, it somehow reminded her of Lucian puffing out her cheeks. when she was young.
"Huh, that's enough now..."
"How about this? This?"
As Caesar, who had fun teasing Lucian, took various positions with Leah, Lucian's expression darkened by the minute.
Finally, when he was on the verge of exploding with his mouth trembling, Caesar let go.
"You're saying I can't quit, right?"
"You have to joke around to a certain extent. Wait for a second. That means that you were next to Leah all this time...."
Sigh-
Lucian was surprised to see the corners of Caesar's mouth playfully raised. Soon, he touched his forehead and sighed, and Caesar burst into laughter.
"Caesar, be honest. All this time, all you wanted to do was make fun of me, right?"
"You have a good sense of humor, don't you think? How did you know that?"
"So you were watching and pretending not to notice that the Princess was here?"
As his golden eyes flashed, Caesar trembled.
"What are you talking about? It sounds like Caesar knew everything?"
"I guess so."
When Lucian nodded to Leah's question, Caesar broke into a cold sweat.
"Wh, why? My body doesn't know what you're talking about? Why am I to q woman who poses a threat to Leah?"
"I heard it from Dio. You tried to make Leah and the Princess run into each other before, right?"
Caesar noticeably avoided Lucian's gaze. Only then did Leah have a rough idea of what the situation would be.
"Well, there's no way he wouldn't know. His ears are so good."
"That's it? Last time, you told me that you could sense a presence inside the imperial palace. But there's no way he wouldn't know the Princess was approaching Leah."
"Oh my..."
Lucian and Leah glared at Caesar with equally narrowed eyes. He kept his mouth shut under the unspoken pressure. But soon he had no choice but to open his mouth.
"Ugh! Okay! I knew everything. Why!"
As the two people exchanged cold eyes, Caesar said, "Ugh!" and hesitated.
"Well, I was planning to intervene if it was really dangerous! But nothing happened! Isn't that enough?"
"But it's true that Leah was put in danger because of your curiosity."
"I'm disappointed, Caesar. You're neglecting me just for fun."
Caesar was embarrassed as his eyes filled with disappointment poured out.
"Well, if I didn't do this, would Leah have looked into her heart?!"
Leah was confused when sparks suddenly flew at her.
"That's right! you tell me. Since you kept asking how it was and made you meet your love rival, didn't you finally look into your heart?"
"Ugh, that's..."
"This is it! It's for you two!"
They were shocked by the attitude of coming out with a red flag. But what he said wasn't entirely wrong, so he couldn't say anything.
While there was such an awkward silence Lucian slowly approached Caesar
"Is that true?"
"What?"
"What you told Leah about me."
"Ha, do you know how hard I've tried to get you two together?"
He explained the days of persuading Leah that Caesar was right. The more he listened to him, the more the corner of Lucian's mouth twitched.
"Hmm! hmm! Then what... There was a reason for everything."
"After all, you are the only one who understands my heart!"
"What are you doing now?"
Leah felt absurd as she watched the two of them talking without mentioning herself.
"But what... Because I indeed did something wrong. You just have to be careful now, right?"
If you can't even talk. How can we contain water that has already spilled?
"Actually. I saw Lils or something called a servant secretly before."
"What?"
"Is that true?"
Seeing the surprised reactions of Leah and Lucian, Caesar scratched his cheek and said.
"Yes, just by looking at it, it looked like she was plotting something against Leah."
"Why are you saying that now?"
"No. I have something else to hide. You obviously knew that, but you stayed quiet?"
"Ahh! So I'm telling you now! To only saw them together, but I don't know what they're up to!"
After that, Caesar continued to say what he knew, but it had nothing to do with what happened this time.
"Caesar, do you know who the employee was in contact with the Princess?"
"Huh. I can tell right away when I see the face."
"First we need to hunt down the traitor, and then we need to strengthen security further. Caesar, you need to stop messing around and protect Leah properly, okay?"
"Ugh, if I make a prank or two. I'll pass out. I don't do it anymore."
"Lucian, what are you going to do?"
Lucian calmed his eyes in response to my question.
"I need to clearly show who I touched without even knowing the subject. The way I see it, there is clearly a helper for this. And if the princess had intended to harm Leah from the beginning, things wouldn't have ended like this, right?"
Well, when I slowly stimulated Lilith and saw her reaction, her eyes looked strange.
I expected her to be jealous since she said she loved Lucian, but the look in her eyes was not an emotion that could be limited to jealousy at all.
It must have been a madness that went beyond jealousy and bordered on obsession.
'As Lucian said, if I were a person who didn't know good. I wouldn't have looked at the inside of my hand.'
Maybe she instigated someone else to threaten me.
"However... Are you really planning to break off the engagement?"
But apart from that, Lucian's complicated situation bothered me.
"She touched Leah and no one else, so I can't just stay still."
"But you won't be able to break off the engagement easily. Moreover, if the reason is because of me. To other people, it will seem like you are crazy about women and can't tell the difference between construction and construction, right?"
"Well, it's not wrong."
I blushed at the thought of him speaking so casually. I told him not to play around and only then did Lucian chuckle...
"I know it won't be easy. But, Leah. She really isn't that girl. For my brother's sake, I must break off th engagement. She's the kind of girl who tells me she loves me and all, even though she clearly knows what my brother is like now. Long engagement period? That applies to my brother, not me. If you think about it, she was the one who betrayed Leopold first."
"Does she know that Leopold is sick?"
"Now that she knows my identity, she must have asked the Duke about My brother. I don't know if she knows that my brother is in a coma, but at least she knows that Leopold is in a critical condition that requires me to act as his double."
I felt bad thinking about Leopold. How can she leave such a good child...
"Okay. I will defer to you completely on this matter. I don't know if I have the right to stop it in the first place."
"You're not qualified. Leah, your presence alone qualifies you to engage with me."
As Lucian kissed the back of my hand and spoke, my cheeks heated up. His golden eyes towards me were so sweet that I turned my head towards him.
"And I don't want you to tell anyone else that we're dating."
"Why is that?"
Lucian's face immediately hardened.
"Because I don't want to complicate the situation any further. And if we reveal that we are dating, the rumor that I am the Emperor's mistress will become a foregone conclusion. I don't like that."
"..."
Lucian had no choice but to listen to her this time.
But now that he's finally come to terms with it, he can't tell others that Leah is his girl......
"And Lucian. I want to be Lucian Odelion's woman, not the Emperor's mistress. When you can shake off all your burdens and confidently become Lucian, then I want to stand by your side."
Lucian felt like he had received a tailwind from Leah's next words.
Leah's simple, yet neat smile now clearly shows emotions filled with love.
Lucian smiled as he looked down at Leah's small hands clasped together.
"Okay. I get it. I will do as you say."
Leah's face brightened when she saw Lucian obediently backing away. Soon the two were hugging each other and enjoying their affection.
Only Caesar, who was suddenly left behind, looked at the two with cold eyes.
