After I Died, He Died After Me Too - Chapter 40
Chapter 20.2
‘You’d probably try to find a reason for my obsession with you. Maybe you’re not interested, or maybe you just want to escape.’
Every time she acted like this, it felt as though the wounds he had been ignoring were about to burst open.
Dexter had no time to think as he looked at Bianca, who was sobbing as if she were about to lose consciousness. Without hesitation, he rushed to her. When he saw her face, smeared with sweat and tears, he called out to the maid, almost like a madman.
“Your Highness, did you call for me? If there’s something urgent, I’ll assist you.”
The calmness in her voice only fueled his anger. He didn’t bother to restrain the rampant pheromones as he glared at Elris.
‘Ha. It’s not like there’s only one maid.’
He pressed his thumb to his brow, glaring at the woman in front of him. It was an issue that she was still here, with that brazen look on her face. Even though Bianca had promised to handle the punishment herself, it was clear she hadn’t done anything.
It was incredibly irritating.
“Your role is supposed to be assisting Lady Astri with her clothes, and handling light duties.”
“…Uhk, yes. I know.”
Elris writhed in pain, gasping for air. Her body, struggling to stay upright, finally collapsed to the floor. She clutched her chest, speaking in a pleading tone.
“P-Please… Your Highness, withdraw the pheromones… please.”
There was no chance. He didn’t care what happened to the woman in front of him. The only thing that irritated him now was her attitude. She should have been grateful to still be by Bianca’s side without being punished and simply done her duty. Yet, there was no sign of the maid anywhere in her room.
Dexter looked down at Elris, who was bowing at his feet, with cold eyes.
“You must know that part of your job includes spending time with her and observing her condition. So why…”
“Hah, huk! Y-Your Highness, I…I can’t breathe…”
“Shut up. It’s noisy. Is this all it takes to make you suffer? While Bianca is inside, struggling alone, you’ve walked away from your responsibilities.”
None of the candidates had pleased him. Neither his father nor Bianca had stopped talking about them, so he had no choice but to include them on the list. But now, it seemed that was the mistake to begin with.
“Elris Fair. I’ll say this only once. Leave the imperial palace. Now.”
“I…! I can’t do that. Hhuuk… I’m a qualified candidate…who entered here properly.”
“You talk too much for someone with an open mouth. Fine, as long as the conditions are met, then that’s all there is to it.”
All of a sudden, the pheromones around his body shifted.
“Y-Your Highness?”
It seemed that fear had finally crept in as Elris desperately grabbed his feet.
A person who had never guided anyone else… She must be acting this arrogantly because she met that condition.
“Elris Fair. There’s someone who needs guiding, so go and fulfill your duty.”
“…Yes.”
As Elris stood up with a dazed expression, he nodded at Lancelot, who stepped forward and led her away.
Dexter let out a low laugh, his eyes lingering on Bianca’s empty room.
Yeah, what would be the point of telling her any of this? The response would be the same. Bianca had no feelings or interest in him.
He dropped the handkerchief he’d been holding onto the floor and wrapped his arms around Bianca’s waist.
“…In a way, I’m relieved you’re always the same.”
“What do you mean… Hngh!“
When he nipped gently at her delicate nape, a moan escaped her lips. He could feel his member growing hotter with each passing moment, fueled by the pheromones.
Every time he saw her like this, he could barely hold on to the thin thread of reason that was about to snap. Just the act of licking felt like drinking in sweet honey, making it hard to stay focused. As he sucked on her skin, each pull left faint marks on her collarbone, one after another.
“Hht, it hurts.”
“You say it hurts, but you still won’t pull away.”
He teased her collarbone with his tongue as he pulled her waist tightly toward him.
Bianca wouldn’t know that if he truly wanted, he could take anything he desired—even her heart. But he had no intention of using his power on her.
“I’ll tell you something else that might make you happy.”
“…S-Something that will make me happy?”
Bianca gasped out the words.
Dexter took a deep breath and slid his hand down her waist, grabbing the hem of her skirt.
“N-No.”
Ignoring her desperate plea, he ran his hand down her soft thighs before lifting her effortlessly.
“Ah!”
She was startled, quickly wrapping her arms around his neck and clinging to him. Dexter smiled as he looked down at her, now pressed against him.
‘Ah, so this is how she’ll come to me.’
His eyes lit up as though he finally knew what to do.
