#95

How to make amends with Aiden. She couldn’t think of the right way to handle things with him.

‘It’s difficult.’

It was so difficult that her head ached. Sonnet poured the medicine the doctor had given her into her mouth. She wanted to recover from her cold quickly. That way Aiden could rest comfortably.

When Sonnet opened her eyes, everything around her was dim. It seemed she had been sleeping the whole time, probably due to the effects of the medicine.

The surroundings weren’t too dark as the bright moon was shining through the window.

She tried to fall asleep again, but her eyes wouldn’t close easily. As she was staring blankly at the ceiling, the door suddenly opened. The sound of someone slowly approaching was unusually familiar.

Along with the cold outdoor scent came a faint smell of cigarettes.

As Sonnet tensely kept her eyes closed, his breath touched her forehead and then withdrew.

Sonnet’s eyes flew open. As she looked up in confusion, Aiden gazed down at her with lowered eyes.

He still hadn’t completely moved away from Sonnet and was staring at her with languid eyes.

“Did I wake you?”

His slightly hoarse voice stimulated her ears. Sonnet felt uncomfortable lying down for some reason and sat up to answer.

“No.”

Aiden chuckled softly and got up from the bed. Sonnet still watched Aiden without missing a beat. He also didn’t take his eyes off Sonnet.

“I was trying to do it secretly, but I got caught.”

“….”

“No matter how hard I try to forget, your body touching mine, your words, your gaze all stir my heart – how could I forget?”

Sonnet couldn’t bring herself to speak.

“Anyway, by tomorrow your body will be completely recovered, and after that I’ll thoroughly forget even more.”

“….”

“Because I don’t want to make you unhappy.”

Sonnet was touched by Aiden worrying about her until the very end.

Aiden stared down at Sonnet intently as he spoke.

“You selfishly abandoned me too, so this time I can be selfish, right?”

“You can be even more selfish.”

Aiden’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Why are you being like this again?”

“Every time you sacrificed and thought of me, I abandoned you.”

Overwhelmed by sudden sadness, Sonnet bit her lower lip. Barely holding back tears, she spoke to Aiden.

“But you still think of me until the end. Is that being selfish?”

“No.”

“Then you can be even more selfish.”

“Sonnet.”

Aiden’s voice was unusually low. Sonnet ignored her racing heart and spoke.

“I still like you. I want you to be happy and not unhappy anymore. So I can endure you being selfish with me.”

Aiden laughed briefly and muttered lowly.

“I tried so hard, but I became a fool again.”

Aiden stared intently at Sonnet. Even in the darkness, his eyes gleamed with an unusual light.

As Sonnet watched nervously, Aiden sat beside her bed.

“So what do you want to do with me?”

“What about you?”

Aiden leaned his upper body toward Sonnet. His breath came much closer and hot breath mingled near her lips, making her whole body tense.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

“Mine’s obvious, isn’t it?”

Aiden raised his gaze to meet Sonnet’s eyes.

Sonnet first wrapped her arms around Aiden’s neck and kissed his lips.

His body hesitated for a moment, then naturally embraced her waist.

His soft tongue forcefully sucked on the root of Sonnet’s tongue. The breath penetrating deeply was quite rough.

The more Sonnet kissed Aiden’s lips, the stronger his grip on her waist became.

Whenever Sonnet tried to pull back slightly, Aiden would pull her waist closer and kiss her more deeply.

Every time Aiden’s breath broke and their lips parted, Sonnet could only breathe out hastily.

Each time, Aiden would slowly kiss her lips before wrapping his tongue around hers more deeply and sucking intensely.

The wet sounds of lips and soft moans echoed through the room. Aiden pulled Sonnet’s waist even closer.

Sonnet’s mind gradually became hazy. Perhaps it was due to the medicine.

Aiden’s hand naturally stroked her waist before moving down to her thigh.

His large hand, almost able to encircle her thigh, gently caressed her, making Sonnet’s entire body burn as if on fire.

Aiden slowly pulled his lips away and looked at Sonnet.

Sonnet’s lips were already slightly swollen. His eyebrows furrowed minutely.

“You’re sick.”

“I’m almost completely better now.”

Sonnet was in much better condition than yesterday. Moreover, kissing Aiden made her feel energized as if blood was flowing through her entire body.

Aiden pulled away from Sonnet with a stern expression.

“I don’t want to touch someone who’s sick.”

Sonnet quickly grabbed his hand and said.

“Then let’s sleep together.”

“Sleep together in this state?”

“Why not?”

Aiden chuckled and began unbuttoning his shirt.

“Fine, let’s sleep together.”

Somehow Sonnet became nervous at his natural attitude.

Aiden took off even his pants and came to lie down beside Sonnet. As he pulled her waist close, she momentarily felt his hardness.

Sonnet remained still as if her entire body had stiffened. Aiden buried his face in her neck as if nothing was wrong and exhaled.

The warmth that completely enveloped her back somehow made Sonnet feel at peace. Sleep that wouldn’t come began to spread gently.

“You said I wasn’t by your side whenever you were struggling.”

His voice spreading like a whisper was quite low.

“That’s….”

“That won’t happen anymore. There won’t be anyone to torment you either.”

“….”

“Because I’ve taken care of everything.”

At the word “taken care of,” Sonnet’s eyes opened.

“What did you take care of?”

Her voice rose quite a bit at the end. Aiden chuckled and hugged her even tighter.

“I handled it within my means. We even signed a peace treaty so there’s almost no chance of war now, I broke off the engagement with the Princess, and Aiden’s Father apologized to you too.”

“Could it be that your father apologizing to me was also….”

“I just pressured Aiden’s Father to process your resignation from the Royal Ancient Research Institute.”

“How did you pressure him?”

“I said if he continued living like that, I would cut ties with Aiden’s Father completely. I said I would give up the entire family too.”

“Were you really planning to give up everything?”

“Yeah.”

Sonnet realized anew that Aiden hadn’t changed at all. Before too, he had said he would give up everything for Sonnet.

“What if I didn’t meet you after you gave up everything?”

“Ah, so you were meeting me because of my wealth and family?”

Aiden’s voice playfully echoed in her ear.

“That’s not a small part of it.”

When Sonnet answered honestly, Aiden laughed. His trembling was felt directly through Sonnet’s body, creating a strange feeling.

Aiden hugged Sonnet even closer and whispered low in her ear.

“I have quite a bit of money saved up from my mercenary work. And I also have money saved from this job.”

“How much do you have?”

“About 1 billion marks.”

Sonnet’s eyes widened in an instant.

“That much?”

“I mainly went to dangerous places during my mercenary days. There were many places where one small mistake could mean death. I also received large sums for rescuing people.”

Sonnet was newly impressed by Aiden. To think he had done such work before even becoming an adult.

Thanks to his low breathing and the warm body she felt against her back, Sonnet’s eyes gradually closed.

Even so, she didn’t forget to make her request to Aiden.

“From now on, if you go far away, make sure to write letters and let me know first, and don’t get into danger.”

“Alright.”

Aiden spoke with a voice full of laughter and hugged Sonnet tightly.

Sonnet felt unusually overwhelmed and happy inside. She had forgotten about this all along. Being with Aiden felt this good.

She had unnecessarily blamed him when things around them weren’t going well. The truth was, it had been good all along.

***

The peace treaty was successfully concluded. As soon as morning came, Sonnet left Melliber together with Aiden.

Sonnet looked out the carriage window and observed the old inn carefully.

It was the inn where she had paid 200,000 marks for accommodation. How fortunate that she hadn’t stayed there.

“What are you looking at so intently.”

When Aiden showed interest, Sonnet turned around with a smile.

“Actually, before coming to you, I was going to stay at that inn for a day. I paid 200,000 marks but the room was a mess.”

“200,000 marks is quite expensive here, isn’t it?”

“There were no rooms available, so I had no choice but to pay it.”

“You should have come to me sooner.”

“Back then, you were ignoring me, so I didn’t know if you’d accept me.”

“If you had crossed the line just a little, I would have fallen for you like an idiot.”

“….”

“Like yesterday.”

Aiden looked at Sonnet with a smile. Sonnet hesitated for a moment before asking.

“But were you really planning to look at me that way forever?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”
