I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart - Chapter 79
I wanted to put it on quickly, so I unfolded the clothes I had in my hand, and there was the underwear.
Ah, damn it. Harsh words almost came out of my mouth, but I managed to hold it back.
To my surprise, all the clothes fit me perfectly, but I didn’t have the energy to ask Tess how he knew my size so well. I was fine when the sparring was over, but I ran out of energy by this short time.
“Are you all dressed?”
“… huh.”
Tess came back to me.
“You’re not washing?”
“I’ll wash later.”
“Won’t you feel uncomfortable?”
“I want to wash, but my room has only one bathroom, and Euseniel was there until just now.”
Tess tilted his head to the side and seemed to be contemplating something.
“To enter the bathroom where Euseniel washed up…….”
The red lips drew an arc.
“I don’t think I can.”
The nuance was strange, but I didn’t know which part to listen to.
“I’ll dry your hair.”
Tess brought a chair and sat me down.
I started to feel the warm wind on my scalp as he used magic, and Tess began to dry my hair with a towel.
The delicate touch didn’t strain my head and made me feel better.
“You’re good.”
“Right?”
I laughed because I thought I would know what kind of expression Tess was making even if I didn’t look at it.
“There were times when I had to dry my hair by myself. So I got good.”
My laughter evaporated without a trace. The tip of my nose was stinging and twitching. For a while, Tess didn’t say anything, and I didn’t even open my mouth.
“It’s done. Stay still.”
Tess got a comb from somewhere and started brushing my hair. He was worried that my ears might get grazed, so he gently wrapped them in his hand.
When his long fingers touched my earlobe, I felt my ears heat up.
If I had been facing Tess, he would have noticed I was making a stupid face. Then he’ll dig in and try to eat me.
Then he will ask me to marry him.
It’s a natural turn of events without me having to look at it. I clenched my fists to stop the tickling.
“Finished.”
Tess, who skillfully tied up my hair, began to sweep the back of my head. My hair seemed to stand on end at the strange feeling of the fingertips sweeping down on me.
The graceful fingers that sometimes brushed my jawline slowly dug into the collar.
It was a familiar thing by now, so I didn’t stop him. However, as I had experienced it often, my body should have gotten used to it. But mine haven’t been able to do that yet.
My eyelashes trembled at the pleasure of his fingers sliding down my sensitive skin. The fingers that had been caressing the collarbones no longer went in and somehow settled on the clothes.
Tess’s hand gently gripped my bulging flesh.
“Hey, Euseniel. This is something we only do when we are special to each other.”
“I know that much.”
“I only want to do it with Euseniel, but what about Euseniel?”
“Me?”
I want to do it only with you.
It was something I had already thought about. It had been a long time since I had made up an answer, so the answer should come quickly. But I was silent because I couldn’t speak it out loud.
“What, do you want to do with someone else?”
As I hesitated, Tess spoke fiercely, firming his hand.
“Besides me, with someone else?”
“No, uht.”
The flesh crushing in his big hand didn’t look like mine, so I looked at it for a while. Then his hand went away and soon covered my chest again.
Unlike before, the lightly grasped hand soon began to draw a circle.
“Ugh, Tess!”
Feeling the apex of my tight chest turn, he removed his large hand, but couldn’t stop the tongue licking my neck.
“Hey, Euseniel. Let’s get married.”
“No.”
My first goal of going back to the world I lived in before reincarnation remains unchanged.
Being the Empress, I can’t leave my place without permission, and it would be perfect to be criticized. More than anything else, if I say I’m going to another world, Tess will do anything to stop me from going there.
If it wasn’t for this, I would also love you.
“Why no?”
The innocent voice tempted me to say what was in my heart. The hand now slipped into the clothes and began rubbing the stomach gently.
I took his hand off and pretended nothing happened.
“I’m hungry. When will you give me food?”
“Hahaha, yes. You need to eat.”
Tess laughed out loud and pulled my hand.
“Today is a special day to have dinner with Euseniel, so I’m happy.”
My heart throbbed again when I saw him smiling.
The dining room I had been invited to during the previous Emperor’s reign was still large and dark. The lights were lit, but the palace’s distinctive shady atmosphere didn’t disappear.
“Do you usually eat here?”
“No. I usually eat in the room.”
“Did you eat properly?”
“Euseniel told me to eat well, so I ate. Really.”
Tess answered like a docile sheep.
… Are you the devil himself, or have you made a pact with the devil?
My curiosity came up suddenly, but I focused on the food. Glancing at him, Tess was eating very slowly.
His gestures were perfectly graceful, but to me it seemed like a slow, forced movement into his mouth.
As far as I can see, it’s like that. I can’t help but notice how it would be if I’m not here.
“May sent me a letter asking how His Majesty is doing.”
“May? Long time no see.”
Tess’ dark eyes twinkled.
“May sent me jam to give to His Majesty.”
“A jam?”
“There is a bakery in Varen that makes delicious jam. You have to wait before sunrise once a week to buy the bakery’s special jam. There is only one jar of jam per person that can be bought at a time.”
“One jar?”
“Yes. So sending it for you to eat, May seems to like you better than me.”
“Hahahaha.”
Tess looked at me with a cool smile and laughed brightly.
“Eat with me later.”
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Not on sparring days, on other days.”
“Good.”
