With her subtle eyes and whispering tone, Celia's face became as hot as a fire. He should say he'd never peeked, but he'd already confessed with blushing face.
Leonis moved to the bathtub, gripping Celia with a grin. The bathtub was just as big a barrel as their waist. Leonis didn't mean to sink in the tub.
The bathtub was just to keep the water they washed from making puddles on the floor. They were only going to take a light shower in here.
Leonis made Celia stand on the bottom of the bathtub and went inside himself. And with a careful touch, he untied the hem of Celia's dress. Leonis' blatant gaze returned when a rather loose dress fell at the feet.
Not all naked like Leonis, but Celia was ashamed. Covering himself with both arms, Leonis strode up.
There was nowhere to back down because it was in the bathtub anyway. Leonis stripped Celia of her underwear one by one with a slow touch, as if giving her a chance to refuse.
When Leonis thought the thumping heartbeat had grown louder, he held Celia's waist with one arm. Lifting her lightly, he picked up Celia's clothes and threw them out of the bathtub.
"Shall we wash up now, ma'am?"
Whispering curiously, Leonis glanced at Celia's lips. Celia had her head down in her pounding heart.
He just wanted to see that body, so he gave her a bath!
'Why can't you let me see it?'
But thinking and actually acting were different laws. Celia nodded, unable to face Leonis. Leonis' eyes on Celia deepened.
* * *
He heard in the letter stated in detail why her fiance betrayed her.
If he were in the shoes of the fiancé, he would immediately have asked him for a duel. If it was impossible, he would have left the continent with Celia as he wished.
'Forget it, that's the past.’
Even if they loved each other enough to choose death, it was a feeling that could not last forever as much as the fiance betrayed her.
She may not have completely folded up yet, but Celia's reaction did not suggest she was out of the question.
The waiting was terrible, but he could wait if the reward was this big. Celia will approach slowly enough to accept.
Of course, he doesn't mean to hesitate if she shows a gap. His mindset was like that.
"……I think you can let go now."
The whispered words in a crawling voice naturally loosened the lips.
"If you say no. Are you going to cry? I think crying would be very pretty."
Touching Celia's cheek, burning like a tomato, whispered. But Celia glared at Leonis with a feisty face.
Huh.
He don't think he'd ever seen a woman with neat features and thought she was pretty. He thought Celia was definitely pretty.
"Hey, is this why you asked me to take a bath?”
"No, you're being cute, and you're just turning the tables. I'll wash you."
A bucket full of water was attached right next to the bathtub. Leonis lifted the water bucket from the wall and scooped up hot water.
"Tell me if it's hot.”
He brought a bucket and slowly poured water over Celia's body. It felt warmed up by the moderate warmth, but still in Leonis' chest.
"Can I wash up now?"
"You want to do it with your bare hands?”
Now Leonis had no other bath kit in his hand. Leonis sneaked a smile.
"You can't expect bath soap or bathwater in a place like this. I'll wash you with water. I'll wash you gently so you don't get sick."
"I don't mean to complain...….”
"What if you're not complaining?"
The sight of her lips made Leonis desperate. It was because he remembered that it was sweeter than it seemed.
"Celia."
His heart seemed to sink with a low voice. Celia looked at his red eyes, which seemed to shed a faint smile. For some reason it had begun to occur to him that she seemed to seduce him with her whole body.
"Can I kiss you? I want to lick your lips."
Leonis' lips crept closer. Celia was so eager that her eyes seemed to twirl.
"Is this why you asked me to take a bath?"
"Do you need a reason to kiss? If you want to do it, you can."
Whispering, Leonis was still fiddling with Celia's cheek. One arm was also wrapped around the waist of Celia sheepishly.
'Why do you keep touching me? I'm holding back what I want to touch! What's the point of getting married? Can I touch you, too?'
Celia, who was in conflict between her pounding heart and her explosive desire, ended up making a half-way choice. It means that he did something that he wouldn't do if he was sane.
'Bust! I want to touch your chest, but what Leonis is touching right now is my face.….’
Judging, 'You won't complain about this, it's the same!' Celia put her hand on Leonis' face.
I was just greedy to touch that handsome cheek, but Leonis' reaction was even grumpier. He looked at Celia's hand to his cheek and bit her finger.
"Hick!"
When she pulled out her hand in surprise, he grinned.
"I'm kidding. I won't bite you. You can touch it however you want.”
He gave her his cheeks and said, but Celia was just surprised and her time was running out. He's fiddling with my face without even getting permission!
At the moment, Celia's hands went down, not up. What she thought was to touch his waist as if she had to wrapped his waist, but what she touched was something else.
“…….”
“…….”
Celia's face burned to the tip of her head with a firm hip touch that touched the palm of her hand. It was fortunate that I didn't touch anything stricter, but it was enough to freak out.
"Hah... Ugh!"
As soon as the scream broke out, Leonis quickly covered Celia's mouth with his lips. It was nice to put his tongue in because her mouth was wide open. Sucking loudly and whispering to Celia, who was still in shock.
"My wife is bold, too. Is there anywhere else in my body you want to touch?"
The face of Leonis whispering that he would give up anywhere was like a boy with his eyes twinkling when he found something to tease.
Celia glared at him in tears. I wanted to avoid it because I was embarrassed, but it was in a small bathtub and I didn't think Leonis would let me go!
"Well, just wash me up quickly. Don't make fun of me.….”
With a faint voice, Leonis licked his lower lip. He wanted to swallow her from head to toe right now, but the time was not good. If only her body had recovered, it would never have ended up as a joke.
'I'm sure kissing is okay.’
Leonis, looking at Celia with a hot stare, couldn't resist and coveted her lips again.
* * *
'What the hell is wrong with you?’
Celia was calculating that Leonis would tolerate her actions to some extent. He does, too, because he softens his curse.
But Leonis' biting and sucking at me was beyond calculation.
Kisses, almost lips to lips throughout the bath, and in the meantime, he fiddled with Celia's whole body under the pretext of washing it. In fact, bathing someone was hard-working and annoying, so Celia had thought it strange for him to come out like that.
The heat of the hot water and the tension washed away in Leonis' arms quickly exhausted Celia.
Leonis seemed to want to do more than a kiss, but he was so satisfied and dressed.
That night he slept in Leonis' barracks, in a cot there.
Leonis thought he was hugging me like he did in the bathtub, but he slept with a blanket next to me. It was a consideration for Celia, who had not recovered her body and wanted to sleep comfortably.
By the next morning, I was able to face Leonis in a much better way.
Leonis played the role of servant faithfully. He helped Celia change her clothes, and in the meantime, he looked at Celia in her underwear with piercing eyes, even helping her with her hair.
Celia was at a loss to see if he wanted to kiss her. Leonis, who had changed like this overnight, felt convinced but not pushing through.
'Cause it's a curse...….’
The curse abates when contacted by a woman of Montague descent. Like the world of 19-rated novels, the higher the level of contact, the greater the effect.
Yesterday's kiss would have also noticed that. For his part, he would want to establish a relationship with Celia as soon as possible. Leonis did the same with Lily in the original.
Celia had no desire to connect with him just like Lily and Leonis. I didn't feel close to him from last night's contact.
In the original, Lily realizes Leonis loves her and commits suicide. She realized that he could not kill Leonis on his own and tried to hurt her.
Leonis then horribly kills the emperor and the three princes who created the whole situation and commits suicide himself. The remaining empress, cursed by Leonis, opens the door to hell with Madogu, sealed underground in the imperial court.
In short, the ending was for all the main characters to kill themselves and destroy the country.
Celia didn't die from poison, so the ending may be different from the original, but...… Lily's personality made me unlikely to tempt Leonis now.
Not if Celia asked her for help.
