The Villainess in the Romance Fantasy Is Strange

41. Progress of Relationship (2)

An hour later, the top floor of Baron Lance’s Citadel.

Wherever you look around, this place is filled with expensive-looking furniture, in the finest guest rooms. Lia and I were sitting side by side and holding hands, barely a fist apart.

…… Of course, it wasn’t that he had a strange mind, or that he was doing this as a prelude to doing something wrong.

The reason why we are holding hands on the bed is nothing else, but the condition to suppress the curse of misfortune, ‘to have physical contact for at least one hour every two days.’

“… ….”

In the guest room of someone else’s castle, not in the Eleves family’s mansion or in the carriage heading to the academy. Maybe it’s because he’s holding Lia’s soft and soft hand. I have all sorts of useless thoughts.

I shook my head to cut off my thoughts, and with my eyes closed, I organized my thoughts.

First of all, Baron Edgar von Lance, the head of the Baron Lance family and the owner of the castle here.

As long as there is Lia’s guarantee that she can sense the flow of mana sensitively. Needless to say, she is a Mine. So, I have to deal with the head of the Baron Lance family, but the problem must be how to do that.

The demons who disguised themselves as attendants were like vessels about to overflow with water.

It was very easy to deal with because demonic energy leaked out and turned into a monster just by stabbing it with a sword, but Dangju is not like that. Even if it rots, it’s Junchi, and he’s not the head of the baron family for nothing, because he’s quite successfully controlling demons.

This can be seen just by looking at the reaction of the unicorn, but the unicorn reacted violently in front of the demons who imitated the servants, sensing demons. In front of Dangju, he remained silent without detecting demonic energy.

In other words, in other words. The head of Baron Lance is so good at handling magic that even a unicorn can’t feel it.

Even if you blindly pierce the stomach like you did with the attendant, demonic energy won’t flow out and you won’t turn into a monster. The aftermath will be left to Lia and I.

If you think about the precedent, even if it goes well, it is a huge amount of compensation. The worst case is an all-out war between clans.

To deal with the head of the Baron Lance. So, in order to reveal that he is a Mine, we need to take a more cautious approach…….

“Hey, Cain.”

“Yes, Lia.”

“Aren’t you hungry?”

You just ate dinner, so it’s not like you’ve lost your stomach in a while, right?

I was a little taken aback, so I looked up and saw Leah looking at me with a strange expression.

‘The ceiling.’

Lia, who muttered only with her mouth, raised her head. I raised my head to her as well.

Above our heads is a chandelier with an antique design.

“Do you have any problems?”

“Yeah, no. It’s not…….”

Lea came closer to me.

‘…… Where we just looked, there is a magic tool.’

I asked if that was true, only with her eyes.

Leah nodded her head very calmly.

Tuk-tuk, she tapped her own breast with her index finger.

‘I can feel the strange flow of mana up there. Judging from the direction, it probably leads to Edgar’s room……. Then there is only one conclusion?’

‘It must have been a magic tool for eavesdropping or surveillance.’

‘Yeah, that’s right. Therefore.’

“I want to eat something… ….”

Leah muttered slowly and crossed her arms with me.

‘In order to have a comfortable conversation, what should I do first with that magic tool?’

‘Do you have any ideas?’

‘First of all, I think we should turn off the chandelier. So you don’t know what we’re doing?’

‘If you turn off the chandelier, it will be difficult to have a conversation. We can’t make a sound, can we?’

‘Why can’t I make a sound? I just need to hug her and whisper in her ear.’

“…… Yes?”

I unknowingly gave up my voice.

Leah was not taken aback, she buried her face in the nape of my neck so naturally.

“Like this, you wouldn’t be able to hear me if I whispered close to you? There must be a limit to the sounds that magic tools can detect.”

“Yes, yes, but… …. If we just hugged each other without saying anything, Edgar might get suspicious.”

“…… Why do you doubt Edgar must have known that we were like that.”

Like Lia said, Edgar, the head of the Baron Lance family, is arbitrarily mistaken that the two of us have promised a future.

I was assigned only one room here…. It wasn’t out of consideration for us, but to make surveillance easier, right?

…… Anyway, let’s put that aside since it’s not important right now.

I carefully moved her right hand from her bedspread and laid it gently on Leah’s waist.

“Is there anything you would like to eat?”

I know that Edgar’s eyes and ears are in this room, but I don’t mind changing his tone now.

I asked as naturally as possible, stroking Leah’s waist. As if Leah was trying to pamper her, she snuggled her face into my arms and laughed softly.

“Eh, Cain…. Are you asking me so openly?”

“…… Because if you don’t express it, you won’t know.”

It was an impromptu performance that I had never matched before, but it seemed strangely well matched. It must be because Lia and I have known each other for such a long time.

“Then, try guessing. What do you think I would most like to eat?”

“Well… ….”

I was looking at Lia’s eyes while lengthening the end of my words. She lowered her head slightly and whispered in her ear.

“Should I turn off the lights?”

“Not yet…… No. I think it would be better to set the mood a little more and pretend to progress naturally.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Since we’re already embracing each other, there’s only one thing we can do if we go further here.

I gently brushed Lia’s bangs to tidy them up, then tilted her head slightly and kissed each other’s noses.

“…… What are you doing?”

“I’m pretending to kiss you.”

“Isn’t it okay if I just do it instead of just pretending?”

‘Because it would be more natural that way,’ Lia muttered, then raised the corners of her mouth and smirked.

“No, no.”

“What…… ! Why, you don’t want to do it with me?”

“I want to have a first kiss in a more atmospheric place.”

“…… Cain, have you ever kissed?”

“No.”

From the time he grew up, he devoted himself to training, and since he was 10 years old, he has been by his side like a shadow. Do you think you’ve ever kissed another girl?

When I answered calmly, Lia’s eyes softened.

“Huh… …. I see Cain, have you never kissed a woman before?”

Why do you think you like it?

“Well, Cain was just nice and her face was handsome. Because there is a subtle wormwood side, the type that women just prefer is…… Isn’t it? So, do you understand that she never did it? Whew.”

“…… Lia-sama, have you ever tried it?”

“I’ve never tried it… …. If you do, you’ll do better than Cain, right?”

I felt like I was scratching at a man’s pride, so I was furious at the moment. She managed to control her mind.

Her pretense should have sufficed.

Holding Leah in her arms, she got up and turned off her chandelier.

─Kung.

As the large and spacious guest room went dark, the surroundings became quiet in an instant.

“… ….”

All she could see was the softness of Leah’s cheeks.

Raising her left hand, she poked it in the cheek.

“Cain, what are you doing?”

“No, just.”

I paused for a while, then muttered slowly.

“I only stabbed what I wanted to eat.”

“…… Yes?”

As if Leah was taken aback, she made a sound as her cheeks flushed red.

“If you think about it, only Lia did it for me. Haven’t I ever done anything to Lia-sama?”

I patted Lia’s cheek, which had no blemishes, and added another word.

“Isn’t a true relationship supposed to involve giving and receiving?”

“That, so…… ?”

“So today, I would like to unilaterally give it to Lia-nim.”

I grabbed Leah by the shoulder.

And by pressing lightly, very lightly.

Deceiving everyone’s eyes and ears, at the same time slightly satisfying my greed.

“…… Oh, huh?!”

We started a special massage for Leah.

* * *

Meanwhile, this is the ‘outside’ of the VIP room.

I don’t know about Cain and Lia, who were locked away in the room to suppress the curse of misfortune. The two of them weren’t the only ones staying at Edgar’s Citadel.

From noble mtl dot com

Unlike the two, who are treated as VIPs on the surface. There were also those who paid a fair price and rented a room.

“Hey, Ms. Stella?”

“Why, Bern.”

…… Such is the case here, Stella and Bern, for example.

Bern is to participate in the hunting festival, and Stella is to visit the hunting festival. Each paid a large sum of 1 pound (= 800,000 won) per night to rent a room in the fort.

“I understand that it is nice to meet a classmate in an unexpected place, but I don’t think it is the case to secretly eavesdrop like this.”

“Eavesdropping secretly? Whoever hears it will misunderstand. I just have something to do around here, right?”

“Umm, business….”

It’s a business worth hiding behind an obscure wall for an hour. What is it?

Berne, who was about to seriously think about it for a while, couldn’t help but smile.

“Why, why are you laughing?”

“No, nothing.”

“…… Oh, anyway. If there is nothing to see, just pass by? Even if I say yes, why are you here?”

“Shall I say that I also have something to do around here?”

“What, after all, you’re going to eavesdrop on it too!”

“Eavesdropping? I just wonder what kind of relationship those two will be.”

Seeing them hanging out together every day, it’s not normal, but seeing them share a guest room in a place full of other people’s eyes, I can’t stand it because I have doubts.

To be honest, Bern was curious.

How far did Cain and Lia go?

“… ….”

And it was the same with Stella.

‘Revenge is revenge… ….’

Apart from personal feelings, Stella, who has the heart of a 17-year-old girl, was genuinely curious.

How far did those two go?

…… It was a time when Bern and Stella, who had such, similar curiosity, were chatting quietly.

─Kung.

A loud noise was suddenly heard from the VIP room where Cain and Lia were staying.

Berne and Stella felt that something was wrong. I moved my body and put my ear to the room door.

-Isn’t a true relationship supposed to involve giving and receiving?

-That, so…… ?

-So today, I would like to give it to Lia unilaterally.

“…… ?”

Lia-sama, why is your title like that?

As soon as Bern and Stella felt that question.

-Oh, ah… ! Now wait!

– No.

-Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute…… ! hehehehe, haah, uhhhhh… !

-This way, do you like this place the best?

-Ka, Cain… ! You are so, so good, so good! Ha ha, whoa…… !

Lea’s strange moan broke through the room’s soundproofing and began to echo throughout the hallway.

“… ….”

“… ….”

– I will continue.

-Ah, no…. Wait a minute, I’m having a hard time, ha ha ha…… !

-The pain is short-lived. You’ll feel better soon, so please be patient.

-Sweet! Heuuu –

Speaking loudly enough to make it meaningless to eavesdrop on it, there is a continuous stream of edification through the cracks in the door. Indeed, no matter how hard Stella was, it was inevitable that her face would turn red. Bern must be embarrassed to listen. He scratched his cheek with his index finger.

“… ….”

“…… Mmm.”

Bern and Stella thought as they looked at the visit where Cain and Lia were staying.

I don’t know anything else, but I know this one thing.

Cain, that man…….

-Ahh, hehehe… ! Whoops, whoops… !

-…… Now let’s get serious.

-Huh, uh, uh, uh, uh…… !

Definitely, calling it a ‘beast’ would not be enough… ….
