I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart - Chapter 111
“Being so shy, how did you do that before? Huh?”
Tess took my hand and sat on the bed as if it was his. Then he rolled up my nightgown.
“Wear a short slip that shows here.”
“No, you couldn’t see it.”
“I saw it, Euseniel.”
His voice was intermixed with laughter.
“I saw you wet.”
With the stop of his words, my nightgown left my body. In an instant, I could feel the softness of the sheet on my back.
“Please don’t reject me who came to you with such difficulty. Huh?”
Tess’s lips and hands that hugged my body wandered here and there. The sharp aura that had faded the last time I saw him had expanded again.
It wasn’t necessarily because of this that I let Tess take off my nightgown. I missed the warmth when I was with him.
For a while, the only sounds in the room were moaning and wet rubbing.
Unlike me, who was staring blankly at the ceiling in the aftermath of the pleasure that filled my body, Tess hovered himself halfway over me and started talking.
“Hey, Euseniel.”
“What?”
“Can’t we just say we’re lovers?”
Lovers.
My shoulders stiffened slightly at the familiar yet thrilling words.
My God, me and Tess lovers?
We like each other, and our bodies are connected. So looking closely, it was actually correct. But applying it to me and Tess felt quite strange.
“I wouldn’t expect you to want to get engaged, huh? I keep asking you to marry me but you don’t want to.”
His embracing arms grew stronger, my body was pressed against the hard, well-formed chest. It felt good, so I hugged his wide back.
Tess drew in a quick breath as I rubbed around his sleek wing bones.
“Euseniel, can I say it? Huh?”
I don’t want to think about giving myself a headache, but those who genuinely care about the succession will say yes. Families who read the Emperor’s will will say yes, and some families who are aiming for the Empress’ position will oppose it.
Hmm… Father would probably be in the latter group, right?
I don’t even dare to look at Mother, and if I become the prospective Empress, what should I do…….
Oh, it’s terrifying just to assume.
Tess urged my answer.
“I will say that there is someone I will marry dozens of times a day.”
“… Are you threatening me?”
“I’m not. But if I can say that I am lovers with Euseniel, I think I will be a little more patient.”
Even now, he’s still touching me with his hands, he’s just cajoling me at this point.
I know from Aurin that the Emperor’s marriage is of utmost interest. Father, who hates the union between me and the Emperor, seems to have made a list of Empress candidates with my name excluded from it.
Judging from Mother’s attitude, Father may disapprove of Tess, but it was probably because he just wants to live with me.
As I pulled his black hair, I looked at the white face shining under the moonlight with a puzzled look. As I slowly trace his distinct features with my fingertips, I feel his hand holding me growing stronger.
“Euseniel, haa…….”
Tess, who exhaled excitedly like suffering from a fever, looked so beautiful that I stared blankly at him. When my eyes met his black pupils, my soul felt like they were being taken away.
Why is this beast so beautiful? As if he was born to catch and devour me.
His black eyes soon narrowed, noticing that I was lost in him. The thin tongue licking his lips seemed to be licking me, so I turned my head to the side.
“I’ll think about it.”
“Until when?”
“Well…….”
“Tell me right now, huh?”
As I chose silence, Tess settled himself between my legs and began to move. My body, which still had the drowsy heat, quickly became hot, but nothing I wanted came in.
Tess didn’t give it to me, he just urged me to answer.
“Euseniel.”
Why does my upper body tremble at the slow caress on my thighs?
“Where did you learn this, aahh.”
I guess I was the one who was weak against bodily temptations.
“Where did I learn it? I learned it from Euseniel.”
In the end, I gave permission to Tess’ gesture.
“Don’t hint that it’s me, just.”
“Just?”
“Just say that there is someone you like and ask for time.”
“Alright.”
Tess clenched my hands so hard that they almost creaked. His eyes turning into beautiful crescent moon with his smile
Today, I fell into a swamp again.

“I think Euel keeps getting prettier these days.”
“I think it’s the same for Ruby.”
Gael and Ruby sat me down in front of them and were busy chatting.
Ruby always brought a magic stone made of diamonds for her visit gift, which made me miss the timing to reject it. It was because diamond magic stones were one of Gael’s favorite accessories.
“Ruby, you can come empty-handed next time.”
Even so, it was an excessive gift, so I tried to return it.
“Don’t refuse, Euel. It is also my training fee.”
“What is that? You and I are friends too.”
“Father said that if I want to learn something, I have to pay a fair price.”
Ruby, with an unusually solemn face, shook her head at me as I tried to return the magic stone. If that’s the case, since Ruby is teaching Gael, she should get paid for her lessons too.
“Besides, thanks to Euel’s training, I’ve recently been able to compete with Father on equal footing.”
“Aren’t you stronger than the Count?”
Ruby denied it.
“After about two generations, the blood must have been diluted a lot. Father and I have the same strength.”
“Really? That was unexpected.”
“In terms of pure force, I think Gael would be stronger than me?”
Gael was following the butterfly. Butterflies were of course something not seen in Varen, and they were creatures that could only be seen in Alin for a short period of time.
“By the way, a radiata, you got something really rare.”
“I got it as a present.”
“From His Majesty?”
I almost spit out the tea I was drinking. Ruby continued on, regardless of my surprise.
“I sometimes hear from Father, but do people have no sense? Or are they pretending not to have one?”
“What?”
“I saw Euel in front of the auditorium. Euel, who stopped His Majesty from cutting off Lili Xuen’s head!”
