Memories surged. However, I couldn’t tell her why I hated demons. I had promised someone very important to me that I would never reveal such a thing, ever. That was my decision, and I was going to respect it until the very end. That person might be dead now, after all those years, but I still respected him…

“I can’t tell you, Amelia. Not right now, not ever…” I said as I knew that she would already be fuming by what I said. However, I simply couldn’t tell her about what happened in my past and that I hated demons that much. “All I can say is that I lost people very important to me because of them and that I will stop at nothing before they are all dead. It doesn’t matter who they are. I will kill them. If you were to become a demon tomorrow, I wouldn’t even hesitate to cut off your throat.”

Amelia gulped as she looked at me, knowing extremely well that I was serious. “Who did you lose… just tell me, I’m here for you.”

“Too many people. I lost my parents for one.”

I mentioned the part about my parents because I didn’t actually care about them since I had only known them for less than a year after I had transmigrated. The people who had died and caused this hatred would make me emotional, which wasn’t something that I wanted to show to others.

I wanted to keep it in for myself. That wall that I had built up for myself wasn’t something that would be going away anytime soon.

Amelia didn’t say anything just yet as she just hugged me even tighter into her arms, her body squeezing against mine. She was squeezing so hard that I could feel her body, her ample chest against my body. It was as if we were one.

It had an effect on me… but I did my best to hide it.

“I’m sorry for your parents, I didn’t know.”

‘If only you knew about everything…’ I shook my head. “It’s fine, don’t worry about it.”

Then, she looked into my eyes again and whispered. “I don’t care if you hide things from me… just tell me when you’re ready. I won’t even ask questions about your past and the demons. What do you say?”

She looked down towards my lips and then at my eyes while beating her own lips.

It was just so sexy… she was seducing me even if I had told myself that I wouldn’t get with anyone before the end of this war. However, she was making me regret having such a discussion, and what she said just made it even worse for me to resist her and her beautiful body.

“Let’s keep it a secret from others, alright?”

I tried to open my mouth and say something, but she just put her finger on my mouth, telling me to stay quiet.

Her eyes closed, and her head moved forward. She removed her finger from my mouth and pouted her lips.

She was going in for a kiss! And because we were so close, it was impossible for me to dodge it… I had no choice but to accept it, a kiss from the queen of the ice elves, I just knew a ton of guys would be jealous of me, and here I was trying to think of a way to get out of this situation.

But there was no way out. Kissing her was the only option, and if I were to be honest with my body… I also wanted to kiss her very badly. I liked her even if I didn’t want to admit it. I was just trying to control myself since I knew that my past and my lies could hurt her in the long run.

Suddenly, I felt her lips pressed against mine, and my eyes just widened. It took a few seconds, but I closed my eyes and kissed her back, placing my hand on the back of her head and bringing her closer to me.

I couldn’t see her expression, but I felt her shock when I kissed her. She brought her head back slightly and jumped from surprise in my arms.

However, she quickly calmed down, and we continued to kiss one another for maybe another minute… maybe two, I couldn’t tell. Time was passing by slowly but also fast at the same time; I couldn’t keep track of it.

All I knew was that when I opened my eyes again, Amelia’s face was bright red, and she looking at me lovingly… I was doing the exact same thing, smiling at her lovingly. That kiss was something else. For the first time in my life, I had gotten so close to a girl that I actually liked. However, there was one thing that was making me worried, the fact that my enemies now had a way to attack me indirectly… by attacking Amelia.

I would need to make sure nothing would happen to her if I were to go out with her.

“W- What do you think?” She smirked, still blushing. “How about you keep your secrets, and we continue to kiss each other from time to time… doesn’t seem too bad, right?”

I giggled a little. “I guess that it wouldn’t be too bad, but we should kiss again so that I can make sure that this is the right decision.”

“Sure~!” She smiled brightly because I had finally agreed to go out with her. We kissed again, and this time, it was an even longer kiss as I felt my hands move on her, their own all around her body… then they seemed to have found their war on her ass as I grabbed it and fondled it while we kissed, her eyes widening once again.

“Is it the right decision? What do you think?” Amelia asked as we stopped kissing for a moment.

“I think so…”

I smiled at her as my mind went toward Ava, who was still back in the human kingdom.

“Actually, I was thinking…” Amelia suddenly said as I finally accepted us going out. “Maybe I should come with you to the Human Kingdom… there might be some vixens after you.”

“Already jealous, huh?” I smiled as I pinched her red cheeks. “I wouldn’t mind if you came, but what would happen to your kingdom?”

“I’ll name a new king or queen amongst the nobles remaining… and I’ll leave you. Everyone I knew and cared for has either betrayed me or died… I don’t want to stay here any longer. I prefer to be around you.”
