I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 83
Chapter 83
The sweet whispers of Kiris lingered in my ears, and my heart instinctively pounded. It was so powerful that I thought I could die without any regrets.
“Th-that…”
A strange tension swirled around me, making me unsure where to look. Kiris, who saw me floundering, smiled faintly.
“Mistress. Why are you so nervous?”
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
No, how can I handle it if you say something like that with that expression!
“It’s nothing? You’re so nervous.”
His fingers brushed against the nape of my neck. I felt my body tremble slightly and held my breath.
It was a reflexive action that came from being close to someone who had no ordinary appearance in this world.
“That’s because you’re cheating!”
Before I could be captivated by his appearance and interpret Kiris’ words as I pleased, I came to my senses.
“Cheating?”
“There is such a thing.”
I put my hand to my head and took a step back.
“And I just woke up. My body is still a little…”
As I spoke weakly, the arm that had been around my waist loosened, and I was finally able to exhale the breath I had been holding.
‘Whew, I’m alive.’
In truth, my body felt lighter than ever, but my own body is more important.
And I thought it would be better to put some distance between Kiris and me before I got any more strange ideas.
“Rest a little more. Mistress.”
To be honest, I think I’m a little hot.
My waist, where Kiris’ hand had touched earlier, still felt tingly.
Kiris’ face turned serious.
“Should I call Noctis? Divine power will help.”
“No. It’s okay. I think I’m a little dizzy because I got up after lying down for two days. It’s nothing but…”
But I immediately regretted saying that.
Swoosh-
“Whoa!”
Suddenly, I felt a sense of weightlessness and let out a short scream. Kiris put his hands under my back and knees and held me securely.
“What, what are you doing?”
“You can’t walk.”
Kiris said nonchalantly and laid me down on the bed.
His hands were so careful, as if they would break if he put even the slightest force on them.
“I-it’s right in front of me…”
My face flushed red and I averted my gaze. It’s not like I can’t walk!
Even though I pouted, Kiris didn’t care.
“You’re not cold, are you?”
“Yeah…”
I was leaning against the headboard of the bed, and Kiris was supporting his arms on the headboard, as if to hold me in his arms.
“That’s fortunate.”
The red eyes looking down at me narrowed savagely.
‘Why is his voice so good? My hands are shaking.’
It was also a problem that my eyesight was too good.
“Should we lie down together?”
“…No, no!”
A grown man and woman lying in the same bed. I might as well faint.
I barely held onto my reason and tried to lie down under the covers, but Kiris grabbed my arm with minimal force.
“Mistress. There’s something I want to give you.”
He then took something out from his bosom.
Peeking out with only my eyes, I saw a shimmering ring and my eyes widened.
‘That’s it!’
It was Celia’s platinum ring.
I had asked Helena and Kiris to get rid of Leila, and it was more than a hundred times more gorgeous than I had known.
“It’s Celia’s platinum ring. It took a little longer because I put magic options in it.”
“Op, options?”
Did I hear wrong? Didn’t I just ask him to redo the engraving?
With that level of engraving, magic options were included. It has become a magic item that you can’t even get with money.
“Yes. Like this incident… It’s not good if you’re in danger, Mistress.”
Unlike me, who was hesitant, Kiris said nonchalantly and put the platinum ring on my left ring finger himself.
The ring, which felt hazy, shone unnaturally on my finger.
My hands naturally trembled.
With this alone, I could live comfortably without being envious of others. It was said to be an item that I couldn’t even look at for fear of wearing it out as a petty bourgeois.
“It’s pretty. It suits you well, Mistress.”
“Is it okay for me to receive this?”
“Of course. If you get hurt, Mistress… I don’t know what to do.”
“….”
“I don’t like it when you overdo it, Mistress, so I brought the ring I prepared before.”
Lost for words, I stared at the extravagant gift, my mind struggling to grasp the sheer magnitude of its value. Suddenly, the image of Kiris promising to create a whole garden of Amoni flowers flashed through my mind.
‘Right, if he went that far, this must be nothing special,’ I thought to myself, trying to rationalize the situation.
However, the ring’s intricate design and the possibility of it containing an enchantment gnawed at my conscience.
