Tristan was watching a sleeping woman. The moonlight came in and illuminated the woman’s body. He watched her round nose and red lips the most. As soon as they finished, she fell asleep. Last night was like a dream.
Llewellyn chose him.
The princess had chosen him. Tristan was told to take everything off and the cold eyes that looked at him were clear. He didn’t know if he was trying to give himself to her or if he really wanted her body… What mattered was what she decided for herself.
Tristan carefully grabbed Llewelyn’s hand and lifted it up to kiss, then released her hand in surprise. Unknowingly, he became addicted to Llewelyn’s touch. Even though they had only been intimate once.
Llewellyn always smelled good. In particular, the scent that came from her last night drove him crazy.
“You are my heart.”
[E/N: Ugh I want Tristan to be the ML so bad ]
Tristan whispered quietly. As Llewelyn tossed and turned, his eyes softly curved. Tristan’s face quickly hardened as Llewelyn’s tossing and turning caused the sheet to slide down.
*
Llewelyn opened her eyes. Her body had been wiped clean. She moved her legs carefully. It was always annoying to move her legs after nights like last night because of her nighttime activities. She felt sore in her stomach. Llewelyn stayed still in bed and was engulfed in a dull afterglow.
‘I slept with Tristan…’
Even at the time of seduction, she was sober*. Llewelyn thought of last night and smiled. Tristan, who was clumsy, was sweet, and it was also nice to see him fully put his heart into something.
[*E/N: sober meaning she wasn’t possessed by the stigma. She made the conscious decision to sleep with Tristan ;)]
‘However… It was… a little… dangerous…’
It only took a moment for pleasure to turn into pain if his power was slightly miscontrolled. If Tristan was good, it wouldn’t be a problem… Their night together was a bit jinxed because he was strong in a great body.
Anyway, feeling that the heat on the back of the neck cooled down, everything went well. It was when Llewelyn was about to get up when she noticed him.
“Hey!”
Llewelyn froze. Tristan was kneeling beside her bed. The naked, clumsy man from last night was nowhere to be seen, and he looked like he was in uniform again.
What was he doing wearing clothes by himself on the floor? She was [email protected]!
“Whoa, wait!”
“…”
“Since when have you been doing that?”
“Since the princess fell asleep.”
“Why are you doing that?”
“It is for my sins.”
“Huh?”
Sins? What sins? She didn’t know if she was still dreaming or what Tristan was talking about.
“I couldn’t satisfy the princess last night and made her sick.”
“What?”
“I apologize for the sin of hurting the princess’ body.”
“Am I hurt?”
“I couldn’t control my strength. You have not just one wound, but several.”
Llewelyn looked down at her bare body and realized what was going on. He thought her body was bruised because he couldn’t control his strength. Llewelyn clicked her tongue. Her tender flesh bruised easily with even a little bit of force.
“Also, I didn’t satisfy the princess’s wishes, I just satisfied my desire like a beast. Although I was clumsy because it was my first time, it is still a sin.”
“…”
He looked very serious. Llewelyn looked at Tristan and sighed. She felt like he would die if she told him to die. She needed to calm him down.
“I’m OK, Sir Jayad. Calm down.”
He flinched at the title ‘Sir Jayad’. He raised his face and looked at Llewelyn. Llewelyn moved her lips.
“When it comes to satisfaction… Well.”
Llewelyn was a little embarrassed. She was embarrassed to say that it was good.
“It wasn’t bad. Enough.”
“… I will work harder.”
She could feel Tristan sigh in relief.
‘Why is this man so serious even in bed!’
“Sir, aren’t you in a bad mood?”
Tristan raised his head and stared at Llewelyn. He still had a stiff expression on his face. She couldn’t read what he was thinking.
“I am a princess, and I forcefully took the body of Sir Tristan.”
In fact, she tried to distance herself from Tristan by saying that she was a lousy person who asked for that. Tristan looked at Llewelyn with a strange expression. There was a sense of wonder in his gaze.
Well, she just said what she did. If he really wanted to protect her, he had to take everything off, and have a relationship. It’s strange for him to say that he was not angry that she took his v!rginity forcibly.
“If the princess forcefully took my body, why would she care about my feelings?”
It was a sharp truth. Llewelyn was unable to find anything to say. Actually, she wanted to apologize. But even an apology was deceptive. She decided to be brazen as always.
“Did you really think I was going to keep my promise?”
“What…”
“Leave now. It’s a pitiful life for a lord who said he would protect such a person.”
She couldn’t make eye contact with Tristan, so she turned her head away as if she was done with him. Tristan was silent. Why wasn’t he saying anything?
“…”
Tristan was glaring at Llewelyn angrily. He seemed to be furious at her hypocrisy.
“Didn’t you say that if I did what the princess told me, you would allow me to protect the princess?”
“…”
“If you keep saying things like this, does that mean that you don’t accept my protection? That’s different from the promise you made.”
This man was angry for a reason she didn’t even consider. Did that mean that last night was nothing to him? Tristan was still staring at her with emotion-filled eyes. His eyes were not filled with anger, but resentment.
‘I gave my body, did you break your promise?’
It was as if he was saying this.
Why was he saying he would protect her even if it meant giving her his body? Why? He had nothing to get from her. Then, why was he doing this?
The situation was getting more and more bizarre.
“I will say one last thing, Sir. I’m thinking of going to a monastery. I can’t make you stay with me for the rest of your life.”
“Is that important?”
Looking into his red eyes, Llewelyn sighed. She didn’t know anymore. She did as much as she could to give him a way out. If he was happy with his arrangement, who could stop him?
“I see.”
“…”
“I won’t say things like that anymore. From now on, no more…”
Llewelyn reached out to touch Tristan’s face. She felt like she was looking at a large military dog.
When Llewelyn’s hand touched him, he flinched. The resentment gently faded from his eyes. She only touched him… why did he react like this?
“Do you not like me, Princess?”
“Well, I was just worried. Because your skills are great and I want you to succeed.”
After Llewelyn spoke frankly, Tristan had a large smile on his lips. He brought her hand to his lips. His warm breath tickled her fingertips.
“Then that’s it.”
“…”
“It’s good that the princess values me more than I thought. For last night and my skills.”
“…”
“Thank you for your generous forgiveness.”
“…”
“So, please find me when you need me.”
“…”
“I will work hard.”
Llewellyn was stunned by those words. Did the Zakats have a custom of throwing themselves at the first woman they mated with? Regardless, she decided to accept Tristan.
“Ah… Before that, Sir. There is one thing you need to hear first.”
“Say it.”
“Clothes… Please help me.”
Llewelyn was covered with only a sheet. Tristan’s ears were immediately stained scarlet.
