Chapter 357

“No.”

Karl slowly shook his head.

“I can’t.”

“Then get lost! I hate looking at someone like you!”

However, Karl did not leave.

He just stared quietly at her hands, then turned around. He soaked a towel in cold water and approached.

And he wiped her hands clean.

Only now did she notice that her hands were burning from the hot tea water she had spilled. She had been too angry to realize it…

“Get away!”

Dana snatched his handkerchief and threw it away. Even that exhausted her strength, and her breath came up to her chin.

“Really, I hate you, you really… I hate you.”

Suddenly dizziness spun around her.

Being unconscious for a whole day meant she had been fasting all that time. The terrible hunger made even her fingertips tingle.

“Let’s eat first.”

And Karl knew her very well. Perhaps even better than she knew herself.

“I have something prepared. I’ll warm it up quickly and bring it, so wait just a moment.”

With those words, Karl walked to the kitchen. Dana watched his retreating figure with vacant eyes.

And he really did return soon with the stew warmed up. Dana looked down at the bowl placed on the tray.

A sweet aroma brushed past her nose.

It was surely made to taste exactly how she liked it. Karl knew her tastes very well.

That man knows me too well.

What I like. What I hate. He knows disgustingly well, so, so.

He became a man I couldn’t help but like…

Her cheeks flushed with the humiliation that fact brought. Dana picked up the stew bowl and stood up abruptly. Staggering, she walked to the kitchen sink and poured all the stew down the drain. Then, gathering her last strength, she shouted loudly.

“Don’t pretend to be kind!”

Feeling like she might collapse, she gripped the countertop to support her weight.

“I know better than anyone now that you’re a demon-like person without a grain of mercy! So don’t act. Don’t pretend to be affectionate. Don’t put on airs in front of me anymore!”

How long did she pour out her hatred like screams?

There was no disturbance from Karl.

He was just silently looking down at her, at her feet.

At that gaze, Dana belatedly recognized the pain in her feet. She seemed to have stepped on glass fragments from the teacup while walking here.

“Don’t move. Right now Dana, there are teacup pieces stuck in your feet.”

“So what?”

Dana was so angry she trembled as she accused him.

“You’re really disgusting. After killing and burning so many people, and yet you care about mere glass fragments in the sole of my foot— What are you doing right now!”

Karl quickly approached and lifted her body up in his arms. Dana was furious and hit and scratched him wildly.

“Let go! Who are you to hold me! Me!”

Soon Karl gently sat Dana on the edge of the bed. Then he knelt on one knee in front of her and lifted her ankle.

He began very carefully removing the fragments embedded in her sole.

Dana looked down at the scene while breathing heavily.

His golden hair disheveled from her beating. The nail marks she had scratched on his pale cheeks and nape.

It was truly a mess.

Yet her heart ached at the delicate touch caring for her. Dana asked in a tightly constricted voice.

“Do you… hate it so much when I get hurt?”

“Yes.”

“Why on earth? Why are you only soft-hearted toward me? Why do you only show mercy to me? Why do you only pity me, why do you only feel sorry for me? Have you never sympathized with anyone other than me?”

“I’m sorry.”

“I’m not asking to hear an apology. Answer honestly.”

Pop, Karl removed the last fragment embedded in her sole. He stopped the bleeding with a clean handkerchief.

“I only pity you, Dana.”

And he continued calmly.

“I’ve never felt such emotions toward anyone other than you.”

For some reason, those words made her eyes burn hot. Her heart clenched tight and Dana’s lips trembled.

She hated it.

She didn’t want to feel this way.

Any emotion other than anger or hatred, she really didn’t want to acknowledge…

So Dana slapped Karl’s cheek.

However, Karl’s face, focused on stopping the bleeding, didn’t move at all.

Frustrated by this, Dana swung her fists wildly. She truly used all her strength and gave her all, but Karl didn’t budge like a stone statue. He seemed determined to die only after treating her wound, even if he died here.

Dana couldn’t bear such devotion. She absolutely couldn’t bear it…

“Ah.”

The next moment, a low sound flowed from Karl’s lips. Dana had impulsively bitten his nape.

As her teeth dug into his skin, she could feel Karl swallowing his breath.

Dana shuddered at his first visible reaction.

Finally he’s in pain. Finally!

Dana was swept up in frenzied heat and bit his neck with all her might. It was almost as if she was sucking. Like a vampire, like a beast.

Still, it was fine. She didn’t care if she fell to being a beast.

If she could hurt this man, if she could deny this man, no.

If only she could deny her feelings toward this man, whatever it took.

This time Dana raised her head and bit Karl’s ear. She could feel his grip on her ankle suddenly tighten with force.

At that reaction, cruel pleasure spread to her toes. The blood in her whole body began circulating fiercely. Dana chewed on Karl’s ear, then roughly grabbed his hair and yanked it back.

And she bit his lower lip.

The moment the soft flesh entered her mouth, in that moment.

Her head became hazy.

It happened instantly.

Overwhelming ecstasy rushed in like a tidal wave, perfectly sweeping away everything in her mind. The anger, stubbornness, resentment, hatred that had dominated her all flew away in an instant like a lie. As if she could no longer hold onto them by force.

All that remained was this, this lip, only the sweetness this flesh gave.

Dana, intoxicated by savage instinct, fiercely pursued only that. She didn’t know what she was doing. She couldn’t recognize it. She only knew it was the height of ecstasy. Enough to paralyze thought, enough to break reason…

Then Karl’s stiffened lips slowly moved.

Karl gently parted his overlapping lips to open hers. And he pushed his tongue through that gap.

Wet flesh and breath slid over her tongue. At that dizzying sensation, Dana let out a suppressed moan. It was a stimulation like sparks flying in her stomach.

When she was helplessly swept away by that sensation.

“Traitor.”

Dana’s shoulders flinched and trembled.

“Traitor.”

Danawin’s voice ringing like a warning sound. At that voice, her mind snapped to attention as if doused with cold water.

I.

What am I, what am I doing right now?

Dana was horrified. She startled and pulled back. She quickly moved away from Karl.

No. She tried to move away.

However, his face didn’t move away. As much as Dana pulled back, Karl raised his waist and came closer. Then he reached out and gently grasped the back of her head. He pulled her toward him.

And their lips overlapped again.

Since Dana never imagined Karl would do such a thing, her mind went completely blank. That he would pull her back again when she tried to stop…

But he really did. He was doing exactly that.

Karl climbed up onto the bed on his knees.

His fingers dug into her hair and his lips pressed deeper. Dana’s head became hazy in an instant from his scent that sharply filled her nostrils.

At that moment, once again.

“Absinthe.”

Danawin’s faint voice rang in her ears.

Dana’s shoulders stiffened once more. And that was the moment.

“It’s okay.”

With their lips still touching, Karl spoke quietly. As if he knew all of her confusion.

“It’s okay.”

He kissed her while skillfully leading her, who had stiffened like a girl kissing for the first time in her life. It was an infinitely tender movement, like soothing a frightened child.

It’s okay?

Whether it was because pleasure was slowly boiling up, or because the emotion she ultimately couldn’t deny was sad, a sob flowed from Dana’s throat.

No. It’s not okay.

You don’t know.

How much I want to push you away right now. How much I don’t want to push you away. Whether I want you. Whether I don’t want to want you.

How much I hate myself for helplessly getting intoxicated by you in the end, in this storm-like conflict…

Soon even this strand of guilt became precariously blurred. Karl was making it so very quickly.

It felt like becoming chocolate. As if he was slowly melting her, he rubbed her with his tongue and sucked her softly. The sensation of slippery saliva mixing and sensitive flesh rubbing was strangely tingling enough to make her head buzz.

Dana felt the heat in her stomach gradually warming up and her head becoming hazy. At the same time, she realized as if awakening from a long sleep. She came to know.

He loves me.

Karl Windsor loves me deeply.

There’s no way this could happen otherwise.

It was a kiss that made every cell in her body intoxicated with sweetness, and made her naturally feel how precious and valuable she was to him. It was such a tender kiss that it almost brought tears to her eyes.

This couldn’t happen without love. Without love…

“Traitor.”

Ah, but.

“So, you’re going to pretend not to know and cover everything up like this?”

But, am I allowed to do so?

“Then what about the sacred relic?”

She could feel the woman in the sky blue dress glaring at her fiercely from behind.

“Are you going to give up the sacred relic too?”

Dana gasped for breath and clutched the collar of the shirt on his chest. Karl pressed her lower back and held her deep in his embrace.

But.

The breath scattering from their colliding lips was hot. It was dizzying. In the midst of the dizziness, Dana barely managed to continue her thoughts.

But.

But, Karl said he lost the sacred relic and couldn’t retrieve it.

Perhaps that might be the truth.

Karl now knows that I truly need the sacred relic. That without the sacred relic, this body’s lifespan will end.

Yet there’s no way he would hide the sacred relic. If he loves me, there’s no way he would. If this is really love.

Dana believed so. She believed so, but.

“I don’t trust this person.”

Danawin’s resentment subtly pierced through the cozy pleasure. Danawin whispered through that gap.

“So, now’s the time.”

You can do it now, can’t you?

That’s right. In an atmosphere like this, she could check very naturally.

Whether there really was a sacred relic in those pants pockets or not, whether he really lost the sacred relic – she could confirm it.
