#72

“I was going to tell you once my memory fully returned. It only came back partially before the banquet, so I was confused too.”

Aiden’s voice was infinitely low.

“Why haven’t you changed at all?”

“….”

“I told you so many times not to worry about me and to worry about yourself instead.”

Tears had already welled up in Sonnet’s eyes. Aiden’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, then he embraced Sonnet.

Sonnet cried out while sobbing.

“You’re the one who made me like this.”

“….”

“If it weren’t for you, I would have lived selfishly alone.”

“Sonnet.”

“Don’t you know that once I fall for someone, I fall like crazy?”

Sonnet spoke quickly while sniffling.

“Originally, I had almost no experience with relationships. But you accepted my confession, and you enchanted me…”

Sonnet had now reached the point where she couldn’t live without Aiden. That was what frustrated her the most.

She had only confessed to get first place, but Aiden had entered her life far too seriously.

“Right now I just want to turn back time. To before I knew you…”

“Even if you turned back time, the result would be the same.”

At his coldly settled voice, Sonnet looked at Aiden with eyes that had stopped crying.

“Because I would have confessed to you.”

While her pupils shook with confusion, Aiden gently wiped away Sonnet’s tears.

“I told you before. That I liked you first.”

When Sonnet looked at him blankly, Aiden raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

“How could I not fall for you when you’re right in front of me?”

He slowly lowered his face and bit Sonnet’s upper lip. The nibbling sensation was soft.

Sonnet felt something tickling deep in her heart as if it were stirring.

His tongue slowly brushed her lips and light breath spread. At the hot, soft sensation, Sonnet unconsciously parted her lips.

Aiden tilted his head further and sucked her lips. His large hand fixed Sonnet’s cheek as he extended his tongue to meet her lips. The breath spreading thickly between their lips was hot.

Each time Aiden bit Sonnet’s lips, he extended his tongue deeper and sucked. Wet sounds splashed between their lips with soft moans, and a subtle atmosphere settled around them.

Sonnet’s back kept touching the wall due to Aiden’s strength. Aiden wrapped his arm around Sonnet’s back and in one motion seated her on his thigh.

Sonnet gasped in surprise, but Aiden paid no attention and sucked hard on the root of her tongue while kissing her more deeply.

Sonnet’s mind gradually became hazy. She had definitely felt hurt by Aiden, but before she knew it, she too was enchanted, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him.

Aiden trapped Sonnet’s back with his arm and pulled her closer to him. Sonnet gradually became breathless. He kept pressing against her body, and the hardness she felt against her thigh increasingly stimulated her body.

Moreover, his hand was now covering Sonnet’s thigh. Sonnet gripped Aiden’s shoulders tightly and leaned her upper body back. If she fell any deeper, it would be hard to escape.

Aiden lightly sucked her lips then slowly separated them. Wet breath mingled between their lips. It seemed like he would kiss her again at any moment.

Sonnet tried to move her legs to get down from Aiden, but he held her waist and wouldn’t let her go. When Sonnet looked at him questioningly, he embraced her more tightly.

In an instant, Sonnet was deeply nestled in Aiden’s arms. He gently wrapped around Sonnet’s back and whispered low.

“Your memory has completely returned.”

Hearing his voice made Sonnet’s heart flutter. This was the Aiden she had wanted and always longed for.

Unable to continue speaking, Aiden held Sonnet even tighter.

He turned his head to place his lips near Sonnet’s ear, and as he spoke, his soft lips touched her earlobe.

“Can’t you love me a little more?”

Aiden lightly bit her earlobe with his lips. His hot breath spread stimulatingly near her ear.

Even as Sonnet’s heart wavered, she still couldn’t accept Aiden going to Melliber.

Even if it was the only way to break the engagement with the Princess, the memory of enduring misery alone while remembering Aiden all this time wasn’t easily overcome.

Sonnet almost started crying but barely held back as she spoke.

“I need time.”

“….”

“I think I expected too much from you all this time.”

“So you’re disappointed in me now.”

His low voice particularly touched Sonnet’s heart. Sonnet brought up the words that had remained in her heart all along.

“You’ve lost your memory before, yet you keep going to dangerous places, and these situations keep happening…”

“….”

“Give me some time to understand you.”

Aiden let out a light sigh. He separated his upper body to stare at Sonnet. His face, which wasn’t smiling, looked quite cold. Like when he didn’t know her.

“How much time do you need?”

“I don’t know.”

Sonnet lowered her gaze. She had thought it would only be good and joyful when Aiden recovered his memory, but she hadn’t expected it to overlap with bad things all at once. Sonnet found even the current situation miserable.

Was it really right to be by Aiden’s side?

Now even having such thoughts made her heart confused. Then the carriage stopped. Aiden stared at Sonnet piercingly without saying a word.

“Don’t you know how hard I’m trying to have you?”

Sonnet looked at Aiden with a surging heart.

“Then if it weren’t for me, you could live comfortably, so why are you doing this?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know?”

Sonnet barely held back tears as she spoke. She couldn’t bear to look at Aiden.

“I’ve been thinking since earlier, but it seems like the more we meet, the more tragic we become. The more I meet you, the more I feel like I’m losing myself, and you’re also living while giving up things with difficulty.”

“Sonnet.”

“I’m sorry, Aiden. I can’t see you for a while.”

Sonnet immediately got out of the carriage. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like she was being greedy beyond her station.

She quickly entered the headquarters. She climbed the stairs she had climbed with Aiden and went to the floor he used exclusively.

Sonnet packed all her belongings into a large suitcase, took the elevator down to Aiden’s office, gathered all her research materials from there, and came out.

The carriage they had ridden was still standing in front of the headquarters. When Sonnet hesitated, Aiden got out of the carriage. He saw Sonnet’s suitcase and immediately walked over and took it.

He was too fast for Sonnet to avoid his hands.

His expression was fierce.

“Why are you doing this?”

“I told you. I need time.”

“I’m leaving for Melliber tomorrow.”

Sonnet looked at Aiden with wide eyes. Aiden had a rigid face as if barely holding back his anger. Tears gradually welled up in Sonnet’s eyes.

She understood Aiden even less. The fact that he was leaving tomorrow but hadn’t said anything until now.

“We were in a relationship, right?”

Sonnet’s voice trembled. She was trying hard to hold back tears, but they flowed down her cheeks.

Aiden let out a light sigh and took a step closer. Sonnet stepped back on her heels.

Aiden looked at the spot where she had stepped back with dark eyes for a moment, then raised his gaze. Under the lamplight, his face showed cold sensitivity at its peak.

“Anyway, the faster we resolve the situation, the more advantageous it is. I thought you would understand me sufficiently.”

“At least you could have told me in advance.”

“I was going to take it slowly too, but with the Princess engagement and things erupting in Melliber, I had no choice.”

Sonnet recalled the worry that had been in her heart all along. That Aiden liked war, so if he went to war later, she would always worry.

Aiden probably wouldn’t understand Sonnet. It was something he liked doing in the first place.

“Give me my suitcase.”

“You want me to send you away like this?”

“Anyway, you’ve said everything you wanted to say, and now all that’s left is going to Melliber.”

“So you’re saying this is how we see each other and it ends.”

“I just said I need to think.”

Aiden sighed low.

“Sonnet, war doesn’t go the way I want it to. This schedule also happened unavoidably.”

“….”

“And you saw the Princess get poisoned, right? Previously, the Princess had said she would break off the engagement first. But it turned out like this.”
