12. Flowing Star – 16
The western terrace is far from the banquet hall at the center of the imperial palace, where banquets are being held, and so it can be said to be suitable for private conversations.
In the middle of a quiet place where I couldn’t feel any presence of people around me, I sighed softly while facing the princess head-on.
“…Sir, no matter how much I think about it, your hands are too much.”
“Hmm, Cain. I don’t understand what you are talking about at all.”
Golden hair drenched in the moonlight and starlight that embroidered the sky fluttered in the wind. Sky-blue eyes full of melancholy were looking straight at me with an unwavering look. Although it was very brief, she opened her mouth and continued what she had just said without ever revealing the fact that she was slightly moved by the princess’s attitude.
“I am telling you that you took your hands too seriously against one such insignificant kid. Haven’t we eaten enough to get older? But it’s a little bit embarrassing for a novice in his early twenties, who is a lot younger than us, to be so embarrassing in front of people because he made a bad joke…”
…But, to my great regret, I couldn’t keep my mouth free any more. Because, the princess’ whole body was leaking like a knife blade, which was not inferior to the previous one.
“Cain. It is clear that you and I are still in our green twenties. Bondi mind is the way to be subordinate to the body. Although I know very little about the future several years later, it is only a handed down memory. In other words, since this body of mine is currently twenty, it is clear that my age is also twenty. I’m currently living in the prime of my life as a woman. Can you understand what I am talking about?”
“…yes. I understand. I was also in the middle of thinking that Your Majesty must still be at the age of Bang.”
I felt a drop of cold sweat drip down the back of my neck and when I replied, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of the princess’s mouth. The reason was unknown, but the princess seemed very reluctant to talk about her age.
“And by my standards, my hand was never too much. If he had just asked me to dance for a pure purpose, I would have let him go, but he dared to show his personal lust toward me.”
Saying that, the princess took a step forward toward me. In an instant, a wind blowing from somewhere blows her hair slightly. Her unique sweet scent with the scent of violets tickles my nasal passages.
“Cain. This body belongs only to you, and only to you. Other men must never look at me carelessly, touch me, or touch me. Only one person under the sky, Cain von Estel, is qualified to covet Iris El Devhard.”
The princess stretched out her arms toward me. Her movement becomes a single flutter of wings and approaches me. Her hands, which had gently touched my chest, touched my cheek very carefully after passing through my shoulders.
“However, I am very aware of the fact that I belong to you, but unfortunately you do not seem to have such awareness. I think it must be very, very sad.”
And Iris knew very well what the reason was. I know about the fact that you still can’t forget which woman. I know very well about the fact that even after so many years have passed since you broke up with that woman, the footsteps of a certain woman are clearly engraved in your heart.
…Because I witnessed the evidence with my own two eyes.
“Cain, do you know where the hell is this place where the two of us are standing now?”
Cain showed a bewildered expression at Iris’s sudden question, but on the other hand, answered the question obediently.
“…That’s right, isn’t that the west terrace?”
“Yes, the west terrace. When I asked to come here to get some fresh air, you followed me and came here with me without any question. Why did you act like that?”
Cain could only blink at Iris’ incomprehensible question. It must have been nothing more than going out to the terrace to get some fresh air, but I couldn’t quite understand what she was trying to say.
“…wasn’t the purpose of degrading to come out to get some fresh air? But I don’t understand why you attach so much importance to that place.”
At Cain’s insensitive words, a laugh escaped from Iris’ lips without her knowledge.
like a place? like a place?
…Cain, you seem to have forgotten everything in a while. It seems that you completely forgot everything about what you did in this place in a year at the most.
Alas, yes. I understand in my head. What mattered to you at most was not the place, but the woman you met here, and the time you shared with her.
But, I’m not. For you, a year may have passed, but for me, it has only been a year.
How could I ever forget what happened that day? To be seen by the person you are, I put on makeup that I had never seen before, wore a dress that I had never worn before, and struggled with how to look beautiful to you, the excitement of that day.
The joy of the day I felt when I heard the news that you used ‘Flowing Star’ and realized that you had returned to the past like me.
…And, the moment I stepped out to the railing to get some fresh air to feel that you and I were under the same sky, the horrible sight that caught my eye.
How could I possibly forget it? Cain.
“…okay. As you said, this place is just a terrace. But for me and you, I think it must come in a very different meaning.”
Iris’s hand gently caresses Cain’s cheek again. In an instant, Cain realized that her fingertips contained a completely different emotion than before.
“Let’s talk about an old story for a moment. Cain, I guess you’ll have to be my one and only guest. Of course, I refrain from refusing.”
“…Are you talking about the old days?”
“What, don’t show that it’s going to be boring so blatantly. I’m sure it’s a story you’d be interested in if you listened to it too.”
Iris giggled and then began to speak in a very small voice as if whispering something in Cain’s ear.
“A year ago, there was a very stupid man here in the imperial palace. The man was not only stupid, but perhaps he didn’t even exist. When a girl who broke off his engagement in the past without discussing a word with him sent a message asking for a date, he even came out to the meeting place. Really, when I think about it again, I couldn’t help but be a pitiful man.”
“…..”
Cain got the impression that the ‘story’ the princess was talking about seemed somehow familiar.
“However, the man knew only one and did not know the other. The girl who wanted to meet the man was a very cunning and unspeakable viper. The girl knew very well how to seduce a man. To the point where he casually uses the disgusting method of arousing a man’s sympathy by showing a glimpse of his weak side if necessary.”
Sarak-
With the sound of clothes rubbing, Iris took another step forward toward Cain. The distance between them was no more than a knuckle at most.
“The place where the girl promised to have a tryst with the idiot was right here, on the terrace. It’s not enough that they meet while avoiding the eyes of others, and even whisper sweet whispers in each other’s ears. And, to her great regret, a woman had to witness the dreadful spectacle of them whispering sweet words to each other.”
It wasn’t until the story got to that point that Cain realized what the hell she was talking about. My butt hurts. Could it be that the princess was watching the meeting with Sarah at that time?
Excuses pour out of Cain’s mouth urgently.
“…Sir, Sarah and I were just talking. I don’t know what you saw, but it’s all a misunderstanding…”
And, that was the time.
“…Cain.”
Iris, at the same time as she took the last step toward him, tightly hugged his body.
It is felt. her voluptuous touch. her scent. Everything that makes her up.
“…Can you say that this is also a misunderstanding? Was it all a misunderstanding that I held her in my arms that day?”
“…..”
“Didn’t you say you witnessed everything about me? Yes, I was watching everything. I was witnessing the sight of that girl approaching you, holding you in your arms, and covering your body with her scent. When I saw the sight, it broke my heart so you wouldn’t know anything.”
Iris adds strength to her arms holding him. As if swearing never to let go of this arm holding him again.
“Do you know that? There are still traces of Sarah Cernard on your body. The traces, smells, traces, body odors of that girl who left you, everything remains, and it still haunts me at this very moment. i really hate that Yes, really.”
Iris’s words were sincere. Her words were like steel, and above all, they were sincere and pierced his heart.
“…ah.”
it was being felt Regardless of his will, the touch of her body tightly hugged to his was only felt so vividly and distinctly.
“That was the purpose of holding the banquet. The banquet was in full swing when you and the woman met on this terrace. I mean, I just wanted to compete on an equal footing with her on equal terms.”
Each other and each other’s pure white breath touches each other. The heat towards each other, the touch of the skin, and this feeling of touching each other, everything-
“…Lowering…”
“Don’t call me poor. No, please don’t call me.”
“…then.”
“Cain. Call me Iris.”
“Please call me by my first name…”
A voice like a burning child. However, Cain realized that it was an act of courage in her own way.
“Ah, Cain. Please help me to erase all the traces she left on you. Help me get rid of all traces of that woman left on you…”
…To this day, she remembers it clearly. About a certain conversation I had with him before returning.
– Kyeong-eun, are you really okay? Can you forgive a woman who was your fiancée, seeing her in the arms of another man?
– …Because I loved you. And, now that it’s all over, can’t we help it?
The words you said casually. But I was really heartbroken by your words. It hurt that you had such a terrible scar left deep in your heart, and it saddened that that woman had such a big part in your heart-
The fact that you couldn’t lighten your burden only tore my heart apart.
Cain, I am. I want you to be happy. I want to cover the whole woman over the girl who made you suffer. I want you to be happy ten times, a thousand times, no, ten thousand times the day you were sick because of her.
…At the end of the day, I want you to forget about such a woman. And I want that empty space to be filled with women.
Iris smiled and gently held his head.
“…Cain, close your eyes.”
“…okay.”
The next moment, our lips touch each other.
kiss.
Her taste, full of sweet fragrance. Her scent resembles spring violets.
“…ha…”
Regardless of who said it first, they started to trample each other’s mouths. The next moment, as Cain took a step towards Iris and her neck was about to bend backwards, Cain reached out and supported her by the nape of her neck.
The saliva of each other and each other mixes. For some reason, his tongue movements were beyond proficiency, and in a way, it felt like a brute, and on the other hand, it felt like he was adept at handling women.
“…Huh, ssss…!”
An involuntary moan erupted from the depths of his throat. Feeling embarrassed for some reason, she pushed him away lightly without realizing it.
“…ssm, ugh…”
The saliva that connected each other’s tongue to tongue continued for a long time. In an instant, Iris’ face turned red. It wasn’t because of the threads of saliva that held them together, but because of the regret he felt for some reason the moment his tongue left his mouth.
“…this, me, bastard…”
Iris gasped and muttered to Cain.
“…Why are you so good at it? hahaha, i’m new A man like you is the first Why are you so good at kissing…”
Unfortunately, I knew very well what the reason was. Because he wasn’t the first. Because I had a history of falling in love with that damn red-haired wizard.
…annoyed. It was a fact that he already knew, and he had promised not to care about it, but now, that fact like that got on his nerves so much.
“Huh…”
In an instant, a very good idea came to me. Wasn’t it just a matter of covering up the traces of Bianca del Castana, just as she was spending this time with Sarah Cernard to erase the traces she left behind?
…To the extent that Cain can no longer recall what Bianca del Castana’s inner body was like. very, sure.
“I’m sorry…!”
In an instant, Iris, who approached his lips faster than any other moment when she was swinging her sword, bit his lower lip very lightly. At the same time, her tongue gently licked the inside of him and lifted it up.
This time, instead of being led by him, it was a kiss that he took the lead.
“yes…”
Her hand grabs his wrist, then caresses her own chest. At the touch of her voluptuous breasts, Cain’s hands wriggled involuntarily.
“…You didn’t come all the way here to take it out, did you?”
Iris shows a bright smile.
“As you know, this place is extremely unpopulated. No matter what we do here, no one will notice…”
A nice, calming voice. However, Cain could easily detect that there was a hint of excitement in her voice.
“You know, this is my first time.”
Her small voice disturbed his ears. In her words, it seemed as if there was a strange heat in them.
“…so, please. Lead me gently, kindly, and affectionately. I won’t forget this day for the rest of my life-“
“hug me.”
