Chapter 291

 

 

 

 

* * *

 

Night.

Very late at night.

Dana opened her eyes.

The first thing she felt was a sweet fragrance brushing past her nose.

It was a dreamy scent that seemed to drift between dreams and reality.

“Are you awake?”

And there was a man sitting by the bed, looking down at her.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

Dana smiled brightly.

Yeah.

I’m fine.

“It looked like your head was injured. There’s no wound but there were bloodstains…”

Why would you care about that?

Dana just smiled broadly and reached her hand toward him. As if asking him to come closer, as if asking to be held.

Lumiere didn’t take her hand. He just stared down at her arms spread wide open toward him.

Why are you just looking?

Dana whispered. Hurry up and hold me.

Then Lumiere let out a light chuckle.

“You’re doing this again.”

“…”

“Why are you acting like this toward me?”

Quickly.

Hold me.

“I told you it’s not allowed.”

Why? How come?

He shook his head firmly.

“If it’s not allowed, then it’s not allowed…”

Before his words of rejection could finish, Dana pulled Lumiere toward her. He was dragged over helplessly and fell onto the bed.

Dana climbed on top of him and pressed down on his chest with her hands.

Do you really hate it?

If you hate it, push me away.

As expected, Lumiere doesn’t push her away. He just looks up at her like a defeated man, with eyes filled with helplessness.

“Danae.”

He asks like a sigh.

“Do you want to do that with me so badly?”

Instead of answering, Dana pulled her clothes down.

Then Lumiere quickly turned his head away to avoid looking. But soon, as if unable to resist the intense attraction, he looked at her again.

Admiration, resignation, desire, humiliation, thirst, guilt…

She could see countless emotions flickering in his red eyes.

And Dana was just dizzy and confused.

She only knew that she wanted this man.

She took Lumiere’s hand and pulled it up to her waist. As she did so, she said.

I love you.

At that moment his hand trembled as if convulsing.

Dana said it again. I love you.

Then slowly… strength entered his hand. Intent filled his fingertips, his fingers, his grip, and finally he began to caress her skin entirely with his own will.

Dana smiled. Touch me more. It feels good.

Then the next moment her vision flipped completely. She fell back onto the bed, and Lumiere pressed down on her. Their thighs intertwined tightly without any gaps.

A moan like a sigh escaped.

This is what I wanted.

This is what I’ve been waiting for so much…

It was sweet. The sensation of skin intimately touching skin, the wet feeling of being drawn into his flesh was dizzying. Dana grabbed his silver hair scattered over her skin and pulled him closer.

More.

“More?”

More.

“Isn’t this enough?”

It’s not enough.

More. More, more.

She pleaded with yearning eyes. Then flames suddenly blazed in Lumiere’s eyes.

“Are you serious?”

He gripped her hair strongly. It was a force both rough and gentle.

“You really want to go all the way?”

Yes.

When she answered, he let out a rough laugh.

“Then say it.”

His eyes were also intoxicated with heat, but he was still holding onto the edge of reason. He breathed out with hot breath.

“Break off your engagement and say you’ll live with me.”

His voice cracked with deep desire.

“Then I’ll do whatever you want.”

Anything is fine.

Hurry.

I understand, so hurry.

“You promised,”

Yes, I’ll promise.

“You’re going to cancel your engagement, you are.”

The next moment, creak, the bed squeaked as he put his weight on it. Dana’s breath caught.

“You’re going to… live with me…”

She could feel the tip of his chin trembling.

She had waited, she had yearned desperately, but Dana instinctively pushed against his chest.

Then he whispered soothingly.

“I won’t do everything. Only at the end… I’ll do it…”

No. I don’t want that.

It’s okay.

Dana embraced him tightly. She pulled him into her arms.

For a moment a sharp flash seemed to cut through to her very soul, but even that was ecstasy. It was good. This sense of unity. The feeling of fullness as if they had finally become one, and.

The relief of having a perfect shield.

The comfort and pleasure she had finally obtained was simply heavenly. At the end of that ecstasy, Dana lost consciousness, intoxicated by deep rapture.

She fell into a deep sleep.

A mess…

Under the cold stream of water pouring down, Lumiere recalled that word.

Right now, in this moment of washing his body, he felt more buried in filthy mud than ever before.

This was already his second shower of the night.

The first was after killing his maternal grandfather and wife. To wash away their blood.

And now the second time, after holding Danae.

Because her blood, symbolizing her first time, had stained him…

Lumiere wiped his wet face. Her first time. Then what had everything before been?

Why had she lied like that, pretending to be so experienced all this time?

To think I would be her first partner.

Even though she was in such pain, she held him tight until the very end, never letting go until the very last moment…

Lumiere’s ears turned red again.

Cold water poured over his head, washing everything away. Yet the heat pooled in his body refused to dissipate.

When his burning body wouldn’t calm down, Lumiere finally decided to cool this fever himself. He slowly lowered his wet hand downward.

There was no hesitation.

What reason was there not to?

With these hands I killed my maternal grandfather, killed my wife, and held that girl. I committed betrayal and crossed forbidden lines.

Now there was nothing these hands couldn’t do.

He simply moaned low and pressed his head against the wall. And while being beaten by the stream of water, while panting…

“Danae…”

He recalled that warm sensation from moments before.

That overwhelming pressure that seemed to grip his very soul, the body that rippled with his every movement, skin as if sculpted from moonlight, breathtakingly beautiful…

Having reached the end of long, drawn-out pleasure, Lumiere let out a rough moan and clenched his fist tight.

Then suddenly he burst into laughter.

If anyone saw him now, even demons would point fingers.

What was amusing was that this corruption didn’t feel bad.

The satisfaction he enjoyed tonight was great enough to offset all this guilt.

Lumiere straightened his body and swept his wet bangs back.

And he thought about the future.

‘Let’s live together with Danae.’

Let’s send Mother away from the house.

Let’s reduce the number of employees as much as possible.

Let’s surround ourselves only with trustworthy retainers.

And let’s not cross lines, at least inside the house.

Instead, let’s buy a villa in some remote place in the suburbs, and when Danae begs like she did today, we can go there.

Then it would be possible to live like this without anyone finding out.

The two of us together, forever, loving each other…

Love.

 

“I love you.”

 

Lumiere smiled.

Only after hearing those words did he realize.

I love that girl. That’s why I felt not a trace of guilt even after killing my maternal grandfather. This is what love is.

Danae and I are in love with each other.

Grinning like a young boy, Lumiere washed his body. And that’s when it happened.

[Even if you say there’s no blood relation, Your Majesty.]

His own voice echoed through the bathroom.

[Aren’t you still siblings?]

Lumiere looked down.

Had it rolled out from his discarded clothes?

The crystal ball was on the floor, also being beaten by the stream of water.

[But if you continue harboring such feelings, God might punish you.]

From inside the orb, he was lecturing the Emperor.

[Having sexual feelings for your sister is somewhat… excuse me, disgusting. So please abandon that filth.]

Surely if it had been yesterday’s version of himself, he would have felt shame at those words.

But with tonight as the boundary, he had become a completely different person.

Now many things no longer mattered. He wasn’t even curious anymore about what that orb was.

[Don’t obsess over improper relationships.]

Annoying bastard, acting so high and mighty.

Too disgusted to look at it, Lumiere grabbed the orb. He would destroy it. Right now.

Yes, right now!

He squeezed with all his strength at his fingertips. The hard orb slowly began to crack.

Crack, crack.

The cruel twisting sound echoed through the air. And finally.

Crash!

The crystal ball shattered into pieces. Those fragments scattered through mid-air and fell to the floor.

That was the moment.

“Huk.”

Lumiere gasped. His body stiffened.

It felt as if the broken fragments had flown at him and pierced him like daggers.

Inside him.

Into his soul.

“Huh-eok.”

Thud, thud, the crystal ball fragments fell to the floor. The sharp edges of those glass fragments seemed to tear his soul, wound him, and rip him apart.

Lumiere fell to his knees on the wet floor. His fingertips began to tremble.

His vision flashed white. In his ears, the explosive sound of glass fragments breaking and splitting echoed endlessly. Soon it became thousands of voices, tangling together as they assaulted his consciousness.

[Lumiere!]

[Brother Lumiere.]

[Lumiere?]

[Lumiere, how could you do this to me? You traitor!]

What is this?

What is this?

What is this?

[I’m assigning you to guard my sister, Princess Danae Grants.]

These memories flowing out through the cracked gaps.

[I trust you, Lumiere Roland.]

Memory fragments kept flowing out, quickly filling his consciousness one by one, becoming clearer.

And finally they exploded outward.
