I Thought It Was a Common Transmigration

“My, I just want to talk to my daughter about that matter. It’s been a while since I’ve seen my daughter, so I’m curious about her current situation…”

 

“That makes it even more suspicious. It seems like the two of you made a pact with each other to share information about our family, didn’t you?”

 

“What, what does that mean? Haha!”

 

When Killian came out and looked at him alternately with cold eyes, Count Rigelhoff let out a light laugh in embarrassment, but Killian did not relax his expression at all.

 

“You want to know what Edith is up to, but why do you have to talk to her separately? What the hell do you want to know?”

 

“Oh, that’s not what I meant…”

 

Count Rigelhoff was at a loss as he couldn’t even find a profit. Even so, it seemed that he kept ordering her with his glances. Maybe, it meant to do something. However, it would be a big deal if Killian really doubted her again, so she quickly informed him of her current situation there.

 

“I am doing very well. More than ever since I was born, so… Do not worry too much.”

 

All the time she had been with him, she had never called him ‘father’. Because she couldn’t call him father anymore. Count Rigelhoff’s face hardened for a moment, as if he had noticed that she had decided to completely ignore his orders, but he quickly smiled and nodded his head.

 

“That, yes. Got it, Edith. Then… See you next time.”

 

And after saying goodbye to Killian very politely, he left.

 

‘Damn man. He still thinks he can wield me as he pleases.’

 

She read the contempt and anger in the eyes that looked at her clearly. But what made her even more resentful than that was that she was trembling without even realizing it. Edith’s old memories of waking up late were stained with abuse. The physical and mental abuse that has been going on since childhood has entangled her body even though she did not suffer it herself. The hands holding Killian’s jacket were damp with sweat, and her neck was parched.

 

‘What reason is there to tremble now! Like an idiot!’

 

It was embarrassing that, instead of showing a dignified appearance in front of that human, she held on to Killian’s clothes and trembled. She shamelessly held her head up even after being hit by Sofia, so why was she getting nervous now… 

 

“Edith…? Are you okay?”

 

Killian called her.

 

“Kill, Killian…”

 

“Why are you so nervous?”

 

“No, that…”

 

No, she knew the truth. That she was never okay until now. She just gritted her teeth and endured, and she wasn’t okay at all.

 

“Let’s go get some fresh air.”

 

Killian took her, who couldn’t even answer properly, and went out to the outdoor balcony. And his decision was very good. When the cold wind hit her cheek, she was able to calm herself down from panic. She was able to move her stiff mouth only after taking a long deep breath.

 

“No, are you surprised? I’m sorry for acting like an idiot.”

 

“Looks like you’re okay now. What the hell is going on?”

 

“Yes? What, what?”

 

When she asked what was going on, she couldn’t answer anything. The damn restrictions were still in effect, so she couldn’t explain why she was having a hard time or what that human Count Rigelhoff had done to Edith. Killian looked down at her and then suddenly closed the door between the balcony and the hallway.

 

“Who was afraid to listen? You may speak now.”

 

Certainly, closing the door left them alone in their own space.

 

‘What can I do? What do I say? Why am I so stiff…!’

 

Now that she couldn’t tell the truth about the fear of Count Rigelhoff, she didn’t know if she would get some strange misunderstanding again if she hesitated to answer. She blamed herself for not reacting aloofly, but she couldn’t undo what had already happened. Looking for an excuse, she thought about the situation earlier, and suddenly remembered the time when she danced with Killian. Then she came up with an excuse that was a bit forced, but worth pushing through.

 

“Ugh! Hmm! Promise me you will listen and not despise me.”

 

Killian’s brow furrowed even more. What the hell was I trying to say? Actually, I was also worried that I was self-destructing.

 

“…I’ll try my best.”

 

Yeah, well, that wasn’t the point, so let’s compromise and be brave at this point. She took a deep breath and babbled.

 

“In fact… I am so embarrassed.”

 

“Why are you embarrassed about your father?”

 

“That is…”

 

“Edith, be honest.”

 

She gulped again.

 

“In fact… dancing with you… little… I was excited…”

 

For a moment, silence lingered between the two of them.

 

“What is that…”

 

“With you… The moment I thought I wanted to kiss you, I was so embarrassed. Why… there is such a thing. I think I was caught trying to do something bad.”

 

“Ha…!”

 

Yeah, that would be crazy. She was also dumbfounded when she was talking.

 

“Is that why?”

 

“Anyway, you too… I thought you might be feeling it… wasn’t it? Not if it wasn’t.”

 

She was rubbing her reddened neck while Killian saw it and suddenly turned around.

 

‘Are you leaving me because you’re in a bad mood?’

 

She hated being soggy, so that must be the case. But he took a dagger for self-defense from his bosom and inserted it between the two handles of the balcony door. It’s like locking a bolt.

 

“Killian…?”

 

She couldn’t figure out the reason for that action, so she called him in a daze, but Killian approached her threateningly and growled.

 

“I warned you to stop doing lewd things…”

 

Then he lightly squeezed her cheek and brought their lips together. A hot breath hit her cheek, which had been cooled by the cold air.

 

“Ha!”

 

Embarrassed, she closed her mouth and opened her eyes wide, then he grabbed her chin and forced her mouth open. And as soon as her lips parted, his tongue, which still had the scent of champagne, came in, intertwined her tongue and sucked it in.

 

“Huh!”

 

As if she was being sucked out of her mind, she flinched from the wild kiss and quickly got trapped between the pillars on the balcony and Killian. Then, as if he had waited, Killian hugged her tightly and touched her shoulder and back seductively.

 

“Yes…”

 

Her mouth was blocked by his soggy kiss, and she could only let out a snort-like moan. As she began to wince at the stimulation he gave her, Killian parted their lips.

 

“Hah! Key, Killian! This… is the imperial palace!”

 

“And you were excited in that palace. Thanks to that, I got caught up in it too.”

 

Killian stimulated her by stroking her body as if he wanted to eat her right away.

 

‘Why is this body so weak against stimuli!’

 

Even though she thought she had to wake up, her body was steadily heating up in Killian’s hands.

 

“How excited are you?”

 

Killian whispered, pressing his lips to the nape of her neck. What did he mean by answering that?

 

“That, it’s not like that.”

 

“Isn’t it different from before?”

 

“Before, just… a little…”

 

“Your mouth often tells lies, so I should ask your honest body.”

 

As if teasing her, Killian sucked her lips and bit her earlobe, then kissed her neck with a clicking sound. Then, suddenly, he licked the nape of her neck.

 

“Hick!”

 

Even with that amount of stimulation, she wanted Killian to give her more stimulation.

 

‘This body is broken! It’s wrong!’

 

She never thought of stopping Killian. Even if the balcony door was locked, someone passing by from outside could have seen them.

 

‘More… more…’

 

And as if reading her thoughts, Killian continued to stimulate her. Her legs trembled, and chills ran down her spine, and she couldn’t think of anything. She had no choice but to cling to Killian’s forearm, breathing heavily.

 

“To be so excited, you really…”

 

“Huh… Yes…”

 

“You’re begging me to do more right now?”

 

“Oh, no… hey…”

 

“If you could see the look on your face, you wouldn’t say that.”

 

Killian kissed her again. But it wasn’t a rough kiss like before, it was a slow and light kiss that made fun of her. Fortunately for that light caress, she was able to calm down her excitement by slowly catching her breath. Then suddenly, she was worried about Killian.

 

‘Killian must have been pretty hot too, can we go out like this…? That… How do I get it down?’

 

While she looked around and thought about what to do, Killian was tidying up her dress.

 

“Key, Killian…”

 

“You’re not satisfied, I understand, but it’s a bit dangerous here… When we get home, I’ll do as much as you want.”

 

It’s a very thankful proposal, and it’s a proposal she would gladly accept, but that’s not what she was worried about right now, was it?

 

“You are… are you okay?”

 

“What do you mean?”

 

“Therefore… that…”

 

She was embarrassed to speak, so she salivated.

 

“I’m worried about whether it’s okay to go out like this…”

 

Killian, who was staring at her, suddenly burst into laughter.

 

He kept his voice down for fear of being overheard by those around him, but it was a laugh that conveyed his happy mood.

 

“Were you concerned about my predicament?”

 

“That, that, that… If it doesn’t work out, that’s… It doesn’t sink.”

 

At that, Killian laughed again. It was nice to hear that it was a boyish laugh, but she was still worried about his underside, which must have been embarrassing to see.
