Chapter 79

Stepping on the Tail

pαndα noνɐ1,сoМ Each of the employees in the mansion greeting Selena and Kalcion, who returned home on foot, could not hide their surprise.

‘Your Highness?!’

The distance between Kalcion and entertainment was proportional to the distance between the Capital and Silenza. They couldn’t believe that he came back after enjoying the festival on the street because the palace banquet wasn’t enough. It was something similar to stars in the sky rolling themselves around gravel on the ground.

“Today was fun thanks to you, Duke.”

Selena placed a light kiss on Kalcion’s cheek before she went into washing. It felt like old times.

It was fun to walk around the streets where the festival was held, and catching Juna’s tail at the last minute was a big harvest. Even if she wanted to dance, she was so happy that she could die.

Kalcion, startled by the gesture, looked back at Selena as if she were a cat with a tail.

“You…..didn’t hate it, did you…..?”

He was so surprised that even Selena’s eyes opened wide.

Luckily, their gazes at each other were short, but the flush up to his ears was visible only to Selena.

“Pfft.”

Selena covered her mouth and drew her lips into a smile. Even so, she was already mocking in joy.

“I’ll wash up. See you later, Duke!”

This time, it wasn’t her lips, but her arms squeezed Kalcion’s neck before she turned around.

Kalcion froze like a stone like before and was left unattended in the hallway alone with his focus out of the world.

Selena hummed as she headed to the bathroom with cheerful steps.

“My, how are you two so sweet, even after using the same bed every day?”

“I know right. Isn’t it so cute to see someone, who doesn’t let you fall off the bed for a moment, harden in front of people’s eyes?”

This wasn’t acting. It was actually the truth.

It was now her daily life to get out of bed tangled up every morning. She was never surprised unless their faces were too close to each other.

However, their bodies touched closer in some place other than the bed. The training ground.

Kalcion’s swordsmanship was close to mixed martial arts, so she not only faced swords but also had to use her body to train.

Selena also had an experience of learning this and that for acting in action scenes, so she dealt more actively. They did spar to the point of rolling on the ground. However, at that time, Kalcion—who did not lose a single breath—could not dance in private.

‘It’s okay so far, but we’ll have to be more natural with touches in the future.’

I can’t be young forever.

The bathroom was already prepared. Thanks to this, she was able to take off her clothes and go straight into the bathtub to warm up.

Juna removed her makeup and washed her hair.

“How was the party today?”

She didn’t forget to sneakily ask.

Selena was glad she was closing her eyes because she was washing her hair. If they had been open, she would have sent a contemptuous look.

“Wow, it was so good. I never imagined such a fancy and wonderful banquet hall.”

“Did you have fun?”

“Fun…… Hmm, I had fun…… too.”

She pretended to think. Juna’s eyes shined as she came closer.

“Yes, yes. Did something happen?”

“I met His Highness, the Crown Prince!”

“Gasp! Wow! You must be glad! He’s handsome, right!”

“How did you know that he’s handsome?”

Juna looked like she was dreaming, her cheeks colored as if the prince was right in front of her.

“I’ve seen him from a distance. And, I was told that Irelle was thirsty for him.”

“Irelle….. She met the Crown Prince?”

“Yes, of course. At first, she was worried that he was a little scary, but later she couldn’t sleep because she fell in love with his appearance. Even when she was about to be engaged.”

Irelle’s gossip continued. However, it was the first time that Selena heard Irelle and the Crown Prince were connected.

If Irelle was specifically intertwined with an individual like ‘the prince’ himself, it meant that there was definitely something required to be seen.

“I should be careful not to do that.”

She deliberately said, but Juna was bright, unaware that Selena was digging behind her.

“Oh my, but you shouldn’t cut off His Highness’s kindness.”

Juna rambled on. However, Selena could clearly see where Juna was chasing.

In every case, she tried to gain Selena’s consensus by swearing at Irelle, but she secretly changed her words because a person couldn’t be completely flawless. She was working hard.

Selena smiled coldly while Juna turned around to get the fragrance.

“Mmm……”

Selena tried her best to open her sleepy eyes. Her eyelids, which were about to close again, shot up towards the eyebrows.

Today, for some reason, she caught Kalcion’s neat side profile beside her.

Selena also slept less and woke up easily, but Kalcion was at a different level. When she opened her eyes, she rarely saw him lying next to her.

In most cases, he woke up first and strode to the training ground or sat on the sofa drinking tea and looking at the documents.

“What’s up with you today?”

“You’re up earlier than usual.”

His response came immediately after her question. His voice didn’t sound hoarse.

“Oh, am I…..”

Selena was awake, but she was too lazy to get up. She closed her eyes again and tried to get a nap, but she opened her eyes again to the shadow hanging over her head.

“Ah.”

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found Kalcion’s face approaching her, and her sleep ran away.

“Shall we train after a while?”

Kalcion tried to get back up.

“No.”

She pulled his thick arm. Kalcion, who was gently dragged, laid down half again.

She grabbed his shoulder and took her lips to his cheek. She wanted to place a light kiss in order to make him used to these light touches.

As his cheek got closer, the air became heavier. It became suffocating and stiff. His heart crawled to the end of his brain and jumped between both ears.

The moment she placed her lips on Kalcion’s cheek while listening to the pounding of his heart, as usual, his body felt electrified.

Selena’s lips met his cheek and made a light frictional sound. The sound was cutely suitable for the fresh start of the morning, but it also contained a hint that it would become sticky and heavy if it was too late.

“…..Good morning.”

As soon as her lips touched, Selena quickly fell back. When she approached him, she felt like she was walking to a star, but when she retreated, it was as fast as falling from the star. She didn’t mean to do this, but her body moved on its own.

Kalcion looked at her, who returned to her previous posture, and slowly got up.

“Good morning.”

Listening to his retreat, Selena pretended to be sleepy again and buried her face in the pillow.

When her ears were pressed against the pillow, she could feel her heart pounding vividly in her head. Her heart slowly rode to her neck, passed through her collarbone and returned to her chest only after hearing Kalcion leave the bed behind her.

“Ughhh…….”

Selena wrapped herself in a blanket.

At first, it started with half teasing, but as it was repeated, the position changed for some reason.

At first, when Selena declared that she would say good night with a kiss, Kalcion looked like he wanted to say, ‘I will put a sword through your head and put you to sleep forever.’

“Do you have to do that?”

That was the first thing he said.

“The reaction of the Duke, who gets stiff even after he sleeps with his lover every night, is suspicious.”

Kalcion himself was fully aware of it, so it was convincing.

Whatever it was, it was difficult at first and grew to be easy at the end.

Kalcion—who used to be nervous and opened his eyes as if he saw a sword hurting at him—was able to relax his stiff body as such touches were repeated. Even when the maids came in, they were no more surprised with the lovers’ interaction and were able to show their faces calmly.

But the next problem was.

The same was true for Kalcion, who was quick to learn.

Now he felt like he was enjoying the soft touches of Selena’s lips. Whenever she took off her lips and opened her eyes, he met her eyes, and her eyes couldn’t be more deep.

At first, Selena also liked it, saying, ‘Ohh, finally, my Duke.’ But now, she forgot about the teases.

Like a couple begging for kisses.

Naturally, Selena became a kisser to practice her lover’s control over his shyness.

As a result, everything turned out fine at the end. Because she got another card that could be nibbled in front of people.

But it was not good for her heart.

He was already handsome. Whenever she thought of his face slowly loosening toward her, an unidentified feeling rose from her lower stomach.

As a result, their morning and evening kisses were getting more and more burdensome. They kept getting more shy.

Kalcion was looking at Selena, who had not changed her hairstyle from under the blankets even after changing her clothes.

He didn’t usually react with any gesture or nagging no matter what she did, but today he had a major schedule.

“Do you remember that people from there are coming today?”

“Oh!”

Selena, who was flirting, jumped up.
