Episode 39. The most energetic wolf of all
“How are you? My lovely fiancé.”
What, what... bird?
Adele had become a chicken, not a bird.
At the same time, everyone in the restaurant paused.
Is that person really the hero of that war, Count Weiss?
The man who led the White Ghost Knights and fought mercilessly and cruelly?
Seira and the woman’s eyes widened, and they hiccupped! Even Henry hiccupped.
Regardless, Christine, who was the person in question, pulled out the chair next to Adele and sat down.
“Henry, bring breakfast. We both have a lot to do, so something light to eat.”
He ordered, still unable to take his eyes off Adele, with his chin resting on both hands.
“Yes, master.”
All the while, Christine had a sinister smile on his lips and honey dripping from his eyes.
“You were so charming last night, and now you’re so lovely this morning. Adele, you’re a true eight-colored bird.”
How crazy, a fiancée and then an eight-colored bird.
But Adele was still a chicken.
However, the moment she saw Seira’s distorted face, she wanted to passionately respond to his expression of affection.
“Chris, it’s better to only say that when we’re alone.”
When Adele smiled and whispered, Christine pretended to be surprised as if he had finally realized it.
“Oh! The guests haven’t left yet? Henry, you should see the guests off...”
“Yes, I’ll see the guests off. Master, mistress.”
Was it because of her mood that Henry looked so happy?
***
“The play ends here.”
When Henry led the guests out of the restaurant as if he were kicking them out, Adele’s face quickly became calm.
Christine also quickly wiped away the honey-dripping look in his eyes.
“Wasn’t it helpful?”
He noticed the situation in the restaurant and acted like he was being sensitive.
“Yes, thank you for helping me. But I want to hear a full explanation about the sleepover last night.”
“To give you a rest.”
Instead of a full explanation, he gave an absurd answer.
Adele barely managed to smile.
“Then, should I understand that I have to stay out overnight to give you a rest in the future?”
Christine’s eyes quickly turned fierce.
“Absolutely not!”
Adele also responded with a fierce look.
“Tyranny!”
In the end, Christine took a step back and explained.
“Really, Adele. I had no choice but to stay out overnight to give you a rest.”
This time, Adele was not given a full explanation, but was shocked.
“That’s ridiculous. You said you wouldn’t leave me alone again when I was having a hard time...”
Christine came to her senses at Adele’s voice mixed with resentment.
He remembered how he had not been there for her mother when she died. He had not been there for her when he was having the hardest time and needed someone’s help. So he promised himself that he wouldn’t do it again.
But yesterday, he really couldn’t help it.
‘Will I ever be able to explain that to you?’
Christine carefully held Adele’s hand with a guilty heart.
“I’m truly sorry about last night, Adele. But you don’t know how provocative your appearance was. If we were together, I probably wouldn’t have been able to bear it...”
Adele’s face heated up.
“What? You’re not even an animal! To think that way when you see a sick person...”
“I'm an animal.”
Adele was shocked. She shouldn’t have believed what he said, but when she saw those hot eyes, she somehow believed it.
“So where did you go all night?”
“Are you interrogating me?”
“Answer me!”
His eyes quickly became like those of a pitiful puppy being scolded by its owner, and Adele’s heart wavered.
“It’s obvious where I’ll be.”
“Were you in the guard?”
“If you have any doubts, check.”
“That’s okay. They’re all your subordinates. They’re so good at telling you stories that are bad for you.”
“It’s true.”
“Yes, I’ll let it go this time. But if you stay out for no reason again, I’ll stay out too.”
Even if she did stay out, there was nowhere else to go but Mia’s house.
“You never...”
“Follow me, Chris. I won’t stay out for no reason ever again.”
Adele said, raising her hand as if to swear.
Christine shook his head with a snicker, but when he met Adele’s fierce expression, he asked,
“Are you kidding me?”
He made a face like that, and Adele still didn’t lower her raised hand with her eyes tense.
In the end, Christine grumbled as if he couldn’t win and raised one hand.
“Yes. I won’t stay out overnight from now on.”
“Is the oath of the guards really this unreasonable? Count.”
Christine had no choice but to firmly hold his raised hand and shout in a restrained manner.
“Yes! I won’t stay out overnight for no reason ever again!”
Adele laughed as she watched him do as he was told. When she made eye contact with the sullen Christine, she quickly fixed her expression, but it seemed she had been caught.
“Good?”
“Yes, good.”
“Then that’s fine. If you’re okay with it, I’m okay with it.”
When she looked at him in bewilderment, Christine brushed his hair back and smiled faintly.
Adele felt wronged for some reason. She couldn’t sleep last night and had all sorts of worries, and now he was forgiven so easily because of that one smile. As if all the events of last night were nothing.
And in the end, she ended up doing something so pointless.
“I listened to you, so this is a reward.”
Cho-ok!
She quickly kissed Christine on the cheek and ran away, but her body staggered and was dragged into Christine’s firm chest.
He had pulled Adele towards him.
“Cri... huff!”
“This is the reward.”
He whispered strangely while covering the back of her head, and just like that, his lips engulfed Adele hotly.
Embarrassed, Adele tried to push him away, but the more she did, the deeper his unfamiliar breath flowed in and the deeper the kiss became.
Their delicate skins rubbed against each other, their body temperature rising hotly.
Adele’s mind gradually became confused as their breaths entangled her.
She was out of breath. Because he had taken all her breath away.
Why was her heart beating so crazily and her whole body becoming sluggish?
The more she felt something, the more Adele clung to Christine’s hem tightly. Her limbs gave out, and she felt like she wouldn’t be able to control her body properly.
“Are you okay now?”
Christine asked in a strange voice, his lips slightly parting.
His lips, unusually red and moist, were so seductive and erotic that Adele felt thirsty.
“Ugh, I’m okay...”
She quickly nodded her head while licking her lips, then suddenly came to her senses.
She realized the hidden meaning behind his question. What those sinister and lewd eyes wanted.
“Hot, no, not yet, not completely better... The doctor said it would be good to rest and avoid making love for about two weeks...”
At that moment, Christine’s seductively curved eyes distorted.
“Sorry, I’ll go out for a bit and come back.”
He quickly got up as if pushing Adele away.
Then, as she looked at him in bewilderment, he made an excuse.
“Don’t worry. I won’t stay out overnight.”
Thump!
Instead, he roughly kicked the restaurant door and left.
What? It’s morning now!
Bam!
The restaurant door opened, and Christine came out.
The servants who had been standing outside the door with their ears pressed against the corner wall in a hurry. They had not been able to enter because of the unusual atmosphere inside while bringing breakfast.
Fortunately, Christine did not pay attention to them and went out.
Then, everyone was as bewildered as Adele.
Last night, they had thought that their relationship was breaking up, but a little while ago, they had been relieved because it had become hot again.
But now that Christine had run away again, what had happened...?
Only one person, Zimmer, knew what had happened.
***
Adele, left alone in the dining room, looked dazed.
'What is this? This situation...?'
He had kissed her so fiercely that he seemed to be biting her lip, and then suddenly ran away like this? Was he angry because he thought she was rejecting him with the excuse that she was sick?
But that's true, people are sick.
Did he really get engaged to fulfill his own desires?
He was angry because she couldn't...
"No, that can't be true!"
It was none other than Christine. A person who thought they had a lover, or more than that, for each other.
But now, she just couldn't understand him.
Adele quietly placed her hand on her lips, which still felt hot.
Something felt regrettable...
"Regrettable! It can't be!"
She shook her head, clutching her head, then turned around in surprise at the sound.
"Good morning."
"Oh, Sir Zimmer."
"Can I sit down for a moment?"
Adele felt embarrassed, but she nodded gracefully, pretending that nothing was wrong.
“Please sit down.”
Zimmer said seriously as he sat across from Adele.
“It may sound presumptuous, but please understand our leader’s behavior.”
“No, I will never presumptuously listen to you. So, can you explain why he does that?”
Zimmer hesitated for a moment and then carefully opened his mouth.
“The leader is a wolf.”
“Yes?”
Adele was surprised.
“You’ve heard the saying, ‘Men are wolves...’ right?”
“Oh, yes...”
“Henry told me. The doctor who examined you yesterday said that Adele needed to recuperate for about two weeks, and that if you didn’t get enough rest, you would suffer from aftereffects.”
“Yes, that’s what he said.”
“So he's trying hard for Adele, my Master.”
“Isn’t it too selfish to say he's trying hard for me?”
“The leader is a wolf with more passion than anyone else.”
Adele’s face turned red at Zimmer’s words.
So he couldn’t control his boiling anger and ran away like that? That’s ridiculous. Not really a beast...
It was a story that she couldn’t understand at all. But hadn’t she already seen how men could become beasts in the face of sexual desire?
She didn’t want to think of Christine as that kind of man, but on the other hand, she was secretly worried.
“Then how would he release his passion after going out like that...?”
Surely he wouldn’t meet another woman and release it or something?
She thought it was ridiculous, but if he was that passionate, then who knows...
Zimmer smiled as if he understood her worries.
“He’s probably releasing it on the guards by now. He sparred with them all night last night. If you go to the quarters now, there will be more than a few soldiers lying around. If you’re suspicious, you can check...”
“Who, who said I was suspicious?”
Adele felt a sting and flared up for no reason. But she felt relieved.
“Anyway, thank you for telling me this, Sir Zimmer.”
Zimmer bowed his head politely as he got up from his chair.
“You’re welcome. I’m glad I could help you, Lady.”
As Zimmer left, Adele opened the curtains on the window and looked outside. She could vaguely see people around the wide lakeside. It was far away, so it wasn’t clear, but it seemed like they had shiny swords in their hands.
Looking closely, several people were surrounding one person and swinging their swords. However, they all clashed their swords a few times before falling down.
The person standing tall in the middle of them was a tall man with silver hair.
It was definitely Christine.
Just looking at him made Adele’s heart race. It seemed as if a halo was shining only around him, as if he had been fooled.
In any case, it was a blessing in disguise.
According to Zimmer, it didn’t seem like he was angry because of a misunderstanding about Stone.
Anyway, she had to do something about the mark on her back as soon as possible. She couldn’t leave Christine like that.
“If I do, the guards will definitely hate us.”
In the meantime, Christine continued swinging his sword without stopping. His powerful shouts seemed to be heard from here. He didn't seem tired, and his movements were not sloppy at all.
But if he's that energetic, then in the bedroom...
"Hot!"
Adele covered her flushed face in embarrassment.
Are you crazy? What are you thinking?
