Chapter 26
As it turns out, Samuel’s guess was correct.
“The man you saw, the man who tried to attack me… … was a commoner whom I saved as a proxy because I could not reveal myself to the world. What happened that day was an unexpected accident.”
I felt like I had to clear up his misunderstanding first, so I revealed Hosson’s identity to him in a weak voice.
“I came to ask for my forgiveness today… but we will never meet again.”
“… … .”
“And the reason I approached you… … was to die. The music box of the dead that you had was the only way I could die.”
At her added words, Alexis’s eyes hardened as if in disbelief. His expression gradually distorted as if he was on the verge of despair. It was a rare expression of honest emotion from the always refined man.
“……me.”
When he finally opened his mouth, the voice that came out was miserable.
“The reason you came to me was because you wanted to die?”
Seeing him gradually losing his senses, Sis unexpectedly became surprisingly calm. The mind that had been in turmoil for a while became as calm as the night sea when she met him. It was so relieved that she thought he should have been so open from the beginning.
“That’s right.”
The corners of Alexis’ mouth twitched at her poetic words. His usually relaxed expression cracked. His face looked like a shard of broken glass.
Locking eyes with him, Sis added what she had not been able to say.
“But that couldn’t be done.”
Maybe the dizziness of my mind all along was a preparation. A sublime and passionate preparation to let Alexis Vegas into my heart. Some people call it love.
“If I die, you… … will be in pain.”
It was obvious just from the reaction just a moment ago.
Sis saw with her own two eyes how his expression collapsed when she cut her wrist. He was confused, angry, and eventually resigned. It was an appearance Sis did not want to see.
But on the other hand, her words were no different from a confession of love.
The reason she gave up her lifelong desire overnight was simply because of his pain. No, at some point, it was no longer something that could be called ‘just’. And that meant that Alexis was deeply entrenched in her heart.
His eyes were wet with emotion. Before she could even look into those sparkling eyes, Alexis was holding her in a breathtaking hug.
It was she who was held in his wide arms, and it felt as if she was embracing him. Her familiar and soothing scent filled his lungs.
“I was trying to die… … That’s what I did.”
His hand that was holding her head trembled slightly. Even though Sis was in his arms, he kept strengthening his hand as if he was afraid that she would slip through his arms like sand.
It was unbelievable that his past benefactor was the woman before his eyes, but more than anything, it was shocking that the reason Sis approached him was ‘to die’.
He had been trying to figure out her intentions, but the reality was crueler and more shocking than the tens of thousands of assumptions that had flooded his mind. He couldn’t even conclude that this was a lie because the loneliness that was buried beneath the emotions she showed was so obvious.
I could now understand the inexplicable loneliness she sometimes displayed.
Her true identity, and the reason she approached me.
After all those questions were answered, all I felt was a warm sense of relief.
“……okay.”
I felt dizzy at the thought that I might have lost something very precious if I had made a mistake.
“Then live for me.”
If he had known all this after she died, he might have followed her without delay. After ascending to the position of Duke, his only wish was to see her once more. Other than that, he had no other regrets.
“Please do so.”
Alexis whispered, still reeling from the shock.
Sis said nothing to him until his tremors subsided, and I held him in my arms. It seemed as if the shock he had received was being transmitted to me.
Then, as his trembling seemed to have stopped somewhat, Sis tried to pull away from his embrace. There was still a story to be told.
But Alexis must have sensed something in her actions to distance herself, so he quickly cupped her cheek and kissed her. Sis accepted his kiss without avoiding it.
It was a kiss after ten days. The two people who had shed the suspicion that had made them hover around each other were instantly heated up. The kiss that had been so urgent to confirm that she was alive became as intense as it always was.
At his reckless momentum, Sis’s feet automatically stepped back.
As Sis groped back, she realized that they had reached the bed only after something touched her shin.
“Your Majesty, Your Highness.”
It was an urgent and frantic kiss, like the kiss of lovers who had made up after a fight. He pushed into her without giving her a chance to breathe, and Sis pushed away his chest with a thud.
Then Alexis grabbed her palm and rubbed it against his face, like a wounded animal begging for her to caress it. Even his distorted face was so beautiful that Sis couldn’t take her eyes off him.
“Call me by my name.”
His tongue slowly slipped out of her lips and licked the edge of her hand. He then licked the back of her hand and bit the tip of her finger. Lust dripped from his each and every action.
“I want to hear it.”
The desire to call his name was the same as before, but the weight of the emotions contained in it was completely different. Now, it was so desperate that it shook her whole heart.
Her body fell backwards in an instant. There was no harm done
because there was a bed, but her breathing was suffocated. It was because of Alexis’s torso pressing down on her stomach.
He kissed Sis’s face here and there. Sis laughed softly at the ticklishness that rose at the end. Alexis noticed his heartbeat racing even at her insignificant laughter. It seemed as if she was holding his heart and carelessly kneading it.
Alexis took his place between her legs and quickly threw off his shirt. She stared at the bronze muscles that were on display before her eyes, caressing them with her fingertips.
Feeling her touch, he lifted the hem of her skirt. Then, he suddenly bent down and placed his lips on the inside of her spread thigh. Then, he stuck his teeth out and bit it, causing a moan to escape from Sis’s mouth.
He took off the underwear covering her vagina and dropped it under the bed. Then he spread her thighs wide. Her body, which had been heated up since the kiss, had already been soaking wet for a long time.
The hot tongue licked from the perineum to the protruding clitoris in a long stroke, then the tip of the tongue was pointed and rubbed the clitoris as if teasing it.
“huh……!”
The liquid of excitement flowed uncontrollably. She twisted her waist at the thrilling sensation, but Alexis buried his head further between her legs, fanning her pleasure. Sis was panting, clutching the sheets carelessly.
The tongue that had been teasing my erect clitoris slowly moved downwards as if it had changed its target, and swept over my closed entrance. It had been caressing the area around me leisurely, as if it would not come in, but in the space of a single breath, it dug deep into my tight space.
“Sigh.”
Today, the pleasure he gave me was so overwhelming. It felt like we were leaving everything around us aside and being intoxicated only by each other.
The slurping sound grew louder as the tongue moved as if it were shoveling. Sis’s whole body flinched with her eyes half-open.
He sucked just enough to loosen up the lower part, then straightened up his upper body. His hands, which were undoing the waist of his pants, were very urgent.
The penis that was soon revealed was erected with a strong desire. It seemed to have more momentum than usual, and Sis swallowed her saliva.
Alexis held her head with one hand and rubbed the other against the pillar, rubbing it underneath. Sis, remembering that there was less foreplay than usual, stopped him urgently. He looked at her with longing eyes.
“Oh, I think I’m going to be in pain… … .”
It wasn’t my first time having sex with him, but I was strangely nervous. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t easily let go of the strength in my body. If I were to receive something of that ridiculous size in this state… … I was so scared that I didn’t even want to imagine it.
Alexis looked down at her for a moment, then reluctantly hid his penis and began to unbutton the dress she was wearing one by one. His hands missed several times, perhaps because his reasoning was clouded. After a while, he was finally able to take off her dress.
When she was naked, without a single thread on her body, Sis turned her head to the side with a blush on her face. Alexis, who was on top of her like a predator, licked her flushed cheek.
Soon his tongue ran down her white flesh and sucked her erect nipple. Since her breasts were sensitive, her body instantly became warm.
“Ah… … Huh!”
As she stroked his hair, Sis moaned in a thin voice. Alexis pinched and scratched her cherry-red nipples. Her moans became longer and sharper. When she floundered, not knowing what to do with her spread legs, he kindly made her wrap them around his waist.
Sis noticed another strange thing. Today, he was unusually quiet. She had only slept with him twice, but each time, he had been mean to her and made her feel ashamed.
“What are you thinking about?”
As I asked him casually, brushing back his messy black hair, he stopped where he was standing on my chest.
“I wonder who took your first.”
The words stood out in the mumbling sound. But it was not the words that stood out to Sis. Sis was a little surprised. She didn’t know that he remembered the long-ago conversation that had passed by in a blur.
“… …Why that person?”
