But whether Bellona was surprised or not, Carsis silently finished his work and draped the shirt he had taken off over Bellona's shoulders.
“I think it would be good for both of us if we wore that.”
"Yes?"
Bellona tilted her head as if to ask what he meant.
Then he lowered his gaze and answered.
“I can see everything.”
At those words, Bellona lowered her head and looked at her body.
Oh my god.
Why on earth did she have to wear a white dress?
The skin, faintly visible through the thin white fabric soaked in rain, was quite erotic to her.
Only then did Bellona understand what he meant, and she quickly wrapped herself in the shirt he had handed her.
‘When is the carriage coming...!’
It was a dark warehouse, the only light coming from moonlight streaming through the windows and a small candle.
Bellona, who had never been alone with a man in a closed space before, found this situation awkward and embarrassing.
But the moment you get caught feeling embarrassed, it becomes even more embarrassing.
She tried to act calm as she walked around the warehouse, which was empty.
However.
“Ugh.”
Bellona suddenly felt a tingling pain in her feet and ended up collapsing into her seat.
“What the heck...”
She examined her feet to find the source of the pain.
Then she felt hot liquid at her fingertips.
"Blood..?"
It seemed like there was some kind of shard of glass lying on the floor.
It felt like she got stabbed by it because she was wearing flat shoes with low heels.
Ha...
In the meantime, she's afraid she'll get hurt by a piece of glass.
It was when Bellona was internally reproaching herself for being pathetic.
The man who had knelt down in line with her gaze began to hum.
“You’re hurt.”
Then, Carsis, who had been examining her wounds, pulled out the shard of glass embedded in her flesh in one breath.
“Ugh...”
A moan escaped her lips. Bellona, who had been biting her lip to endure the pain, looked at the shard of glass in the man’s hand.
When she looked at the piece he pulled out, it wasn't that big.
“That’s fortunate, though. The piece is small, so I don’t think it’s a big wound. I guess I’ll just have to go back to the mansion and apply some ointment...”
I'll get better soon.
Bellona was about to say that.
'Uh?'
Until the man's lips touched the wound.
“Wh, what...!”
By the time she realized what was happening, she could already feel the hot, moist flesh.
“What are you doing right now...!”
Bellona, who had noticed what the fleshy mass was, pushed the man's shoulder to stop him. No, she tried to push him away.
“Ha...!”
But the man did not give in and licked her feet as if savoring something sweet.
Then, the gap that had been opened by the glass shards began to narrow little by little with the man's saliva.
Ah.
Only then did Bellona take a deep breath, remembering that the man had been born with the power of Clepius.
He was just trying to heal her now.
However.
“Yes, wait a minute...!”
For some reason, the man's tongue began to move upward, past her foot.
Bellona, who had been dazed for a moment due to the taste of power she was experiencing for the first time, came to her senses.
Then she pushed the man's shoulder again. Fortunately, this time he was easily pushed away as well.
“What, what are you trying to do?”
Suddenly, Carsis looks up at Bellona, who has grown distant, and looks at her.
As if the tongue had been tormenting her own feet.
"Wound."
Hot and persistent.
“I was trying to treat you.”
Contrary to the bland words about treatment, the man's hand holding her ankle was hot.
Like a man's two red eyes that glow like fire in the darkness.
Bam.
Bellona, who had arrived at her room before she knew it, leaned her back against the door and collapsed.
She couldn't remember what she was thinking when she got in the carriage or what conversation she had on her way to the mansion.
There is only one thing she remembers.
“That was earlier...”
It was just something that happened in the warehouse.
She looked at her feet, where Carsis' lips had touched just a moment ago.
“This is the power of the Emperor...”
'The power of healing was truly great.'
The pain that had been so severe that she couldn't walk until just a moment ago was gone, and there was not a single trace of the injury left.
Bellona heard it a long time ago.
The five ducal houses cannot resist the power of Clepius.
Is that why?
“Why is my face like this...”
Is it hot?
And that wasn't all. Her heart was pounding like crazy, as if it would explode at any moment.
Because of that, she had to hold her teddy bear tightly the whole time she was sitting in the carriage so as not to hear her heartbeat.
“This is driving me crazy...”
It was so unfamiliar.
This emotion, this feeling, this excitement, everything.
It was a dark room without a single candle, but her face was bathed in the moonlight streaming in through the window, glowing red.
Bellona was at a loss as to what to do with the strange feeling she was experiencing for the first time. It seemed as if the foot where the man's lips had touched still felt ticklish.
Maybe she caught a cold.
Every time she thought about what had happened earlier, her body felt hot.
“I need to wash...”
Somehow, this excitement right now wasn't a bad thing.
She brought her knees forward to contain this feeling, even a little.
Then suddenly, she noticed the bracelet on her arm.
"A bracelet that brings good luck."
“I’m lucky...”
If this feeling is luck, then isn't it luck?
Thinking about it like that, a smile came to her lips without me realizing it.
She had a strange feeling that something good was going to happen.
And was it from that day on?
Bellona started having strange dreams.
“Belona?”
“...They say she hasn’t woken up yet.”
Carsis's eyebrows furrowed as he heard Jason's words.
It's already been four days since the summer festival ended.
For some reason, Bellona hasn't been able to wake up since that day.
'I thought it was just a cold.'
It was Carsis who had heard the news that Bellona was sick a while ago.
But no matter how bad her cold was, he found it strange that she couldn't wake up for several days.
Then, after thinking for a moment, Carsis stood up from his seat.
“I guess I’ll have to go and see for myself.”
Four days were enough for him to endure it.
It was just as Carsis, who thought he could no longer wait, was leaving the palace.
“Carsis.”
Isaac, who had gone out to investigate the whereabouts of Duke Philosykos, has returned.
“I found Paulo.”
But the Duke's whereabouts were not important to Carsis at the moment.
“Later. First, I’ll tell Bellona...”
That's why at that moment, he was about to pass Isaac by, saying they'd talk later.
“It’s because of Paulo. It’s the reason Bellona can’t wake up.”
"What?"
Carsis's steps stopped at these completely unexpected words.
He urged Isaac on with a look on his face as if to ask what on earth he was talking about.
“Explain it so I can understand.”
Isaac swallowed for a moment as he looked at the frozen Carsis and continued speaking.
“Contrary to our expectations, Paulo was hiding in the capital. At first, we wondered what he was up to. But we found this on him.”
Then Isaac handed him the ring with the missing egg that he was holding in his hand.
“This is...”
“Dineluka. It’s a holy relic, like Riventia.”
He rolled the ring with the missing egg in his hand and stared at Isaac.
“What the heck is this?”
“Dineluka will nullify the power. But the stone from the ring is missing?”
“I think it would be good for both of us if we wore that.”
"Yes?"
Bellona tilted her head as if to ask what he meant.
Then he lowered his gaze and answered.
“I can see everything.”
