#66

Aiden stared at Sonnet for a moment before nodding his head.

“Anything else?”

“I’d like you to keep our relationship a secret.”

“A secret?”

“Just for a few months after you break off the engagement with the Princess.”

Aiden chuckled softly. He came closer to Sonnet and sat down to meet her gaze.

“Then when it’s just the two of us, I can show it anytime?”

“That’s fine. Anyway…”

Before Sonnet could finish speaking, Aiden captured her lips. The breath that softly touched was hot.

He pulled the back of Sonnet’s head as she tried to pull away slightly and kissed her deeply.

His hand naturally moved down to her waist. His large hand gently stroked her back and naturally slipped inside her dress.

Sonnet liked the warmth transmitted from Aiden’s large hands, but thinking of him, she grabbed his arm. Aiden slightly parted his lips.

The breath that still held warmth spread loosely around her lips. Aiden looked at Sonnet with eyes that hadn’t lost their excitement.

Sonnet slightly pulled back her upper body and met his eyes.

“Don’t you need to go now?”

After all, it had been almost an hour since Aiden arrived. He had surely passed lunchtime.

Aiden smiled and brushed Sonnet’s fluffy hair aside.

“Why do you keep trying to send me away?”

“You need to work.”

“It’s fine if I’m late. They’ll wait on their own.”

As Aiden tried to kiss her again, Sonnet pushed his shoulder.

“Go quickly.”

As Aiden was being pushed by Sonnet’s hands, he suddenly grabbed both her hands. Before Sonnet could be surprised, he pressed his lips deeply against her neck.

The moment she thought it hurt slightly, he pulled his lips away.

“Rest.”

His face was full of laughter. Sonnet was touching around her neck when she looked ahead, and Aiden hadn’t taken a single bite of his sandwich.

‘Isn’t he even hungry?’

Sonnet stared blankly at Aiden’s sandwich before finishing her half-eaten sandwich.

When she went to the restroom to wash up and suddenly looked in the mirror, there was a clear red mark on her neck.

Instantly, Sonnet remembered when Aiden had pressed his lips to her neck earlier. Her face immediately flushed red.

‘We agreed to keep it secret from each other.’

The fortunate thing was that it was winter. Sonnet washed her face with a stiff expression.

Just in case, she tried putting water on her neck, but it absolutely wouldn’t come off. Time seemed to be the only solution.

Aiden came to bed just before Sonnet fell asleep. As Sonnet tried to open her eyes, Aiden held her waist and pulled her close from behind. His gentle breath scattered around her neck.

“When we get married, we’ll need to expand this place.”

His low voice scattered in her ear along with hot breath. Sonnet somehow liked his voice. Sleep gradually came with his sunken voice.

“Actually, rather than wanting to remember the past now, I want to make more memories with you.”

Aiden seemed to say something more, but Sonnet couldn’t remember. She had fallen asleep before she knew it.

***

Sonnet took out a black jacket and black dress from the luggage bag Aiden had brought in advance and put them on.

Before leaving the room, she checked the red mark on her neck, frowned, then completely covered it with a scarf.

As she left the room, Aiden turned around.

As soon as he saw Sonnet, Aiden chuckled and asked.

“Do you like black?”

“No.”

“Every time I see you, you’re always wearing black clothes, but you say you don’t like it?”

Aiden went out to the corridor and pressed the elevator button. Sonnet stood next to Aiden and nodded.

“I just wear it because it doesn’t stand out to others and it’s the most plain.”

Strangely, the past Aiden had never said anything particular about her wearing such clothes.

Aiden stared at Sonnet particularly intensely.

Sonnet looked up at him.

“Why?”

As he narrowed his eyes and looked, the elevator arrived. Sonnet immediately got on the elevator.

Going with Aiden had become familiar now. Just spending the night together made her feel much closer to him.

Aiden stood next to Sonnet and said.

“I should take you to a clothing store.”

“Why?”

Aiden looked down at Sonnet.

“I think other colors would suit you too.”

As he smiled and turned his head, his expression gradually hardened subtly. Soon he looked back at Sonnet.

“No, just keep wearing only black clothes.”

When Sonnet looked puzzled, he said with a stiff face.

“If you wear other colored clothes, people will stare at you more. You already stand out as it is.”

Sonnet was dumbfounded.

“You’re the one who stands out.”

He let out a short laugh.

“Me?”

Then the elevator arrived. Sonnet got off the elevator first and looked back at Aiden.

“You stand out more than me. Even when I attended Rosefield, everyone disliked me.”

Aiden’s expression turned cold.

“Why?”

Aiden looked like he would throw punches immediately if there were people who disliked her.

“Because I was selfish.”

Aiden silently stared at Sonnet. His stiff face looked somewhat dazed.

Sonnet looked at him before going to the table where breakfast was already prepared. Since she liked carrots, there were only carrot dishes.

Sonnet sat down in the chair and said.

“You can eat what you like.”

Only then did Aiden approach Sonnet. He had already composed his expression and looked like his usual self.

“I like it too.”

“You like meat though.”

Aiden looked at Sonnet as if surprised.

“You figured out what I like too?”

“Being next to you, I naturally know.”

Aiden smiled brightly as if he was in a better mood than ever. He served Sonnet roasted carrots and carrot soup while saying.

“Do your research here.”

“Here?”

“This place is too big for one person anyway, and it’s not like it gets crowded just because you’re here.”

“Won’t you be uncomfortable?”

“Why would I be uncomfortable?”

“You work alone, but if I’m here…”

“I want to be with you all day though?”

“…”

“We need to be together for as long as we were apart.”

“I already prepared a desk and all the materials you were looking at.”

Aiden gestured to the side. Following his gaze, there really was another desk. And it was positioned to face Aiden.

Sonnet immediately got up and went to the desk. Her research materials were indeed still there on the desk, exactly as she had left them. Nothing was disturbed.

Sonnet looked down at the unfinished research report, then turned to look at Aiden.

“Is it okay for me to enjoy such privileges all by myself?”

“Why wouldn’t it be?”

“We agreed to keep this a secret.”

“Just say that you and I ended up together because we have a lot of research collaboration.”

She wondered if people would actually believe that. Even Gellen would probably find it suspicious.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Aiden spoke nonchalantly.

“Yes.”

His tone was dry and indifferent, unlike when he spoke to Sonnet.

The door opened carefully. Sonnet’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Gellen!”

Gellen, who had been holding documents in both hands, smiled brightly when he saw Sonnet.

“Senior!”

He quickly approached Sonnet.

“I was worried because I didn’t see you yesterday either. Are you feeling alright?”

“Feeling alright?”

Sonnet turned to look at Aiden. His face was stern, looking somewhat displeased.

“Seeing as you came all the way here personally, those must be pretty important documents.”

When Aiden stared intensely at him, Gellen flinched and approached him. Sonnet still felt puzzled.

Aiden calmly skimmed through the documents Gellen handed him. He certainly looked quite sharp and cold when working.

“Our Professor asked me to bring these documents for your special consideration. Especially if we get good results from the First Kingdom Army this time, not only our research but also the Kingdom Army…”

“You know that since this is the First Security Zone, getting attention from various people won’t do any good, right?”

“That’s true, but…”

“I understand Professor Aldoren’s intentions, but I can’t agree to opening only the Dungeon Temple.”

Aiden held out the thick stack of documents with one hand. Gellen received the documents with both hands, looking flustered.

Sonnet had a lot she wanted to say but kept her mouth shut.

If the Dungeon Temple were opened as Professor Aldoren wanted, accessing materials would become freer, allowing for more active research.
