BXBX NOVEL Chapter 113.2: Queen Maker (13)
How did he unravel that complicated knotwork without her knowing?
Her leather attire looked like normal garb, but they were tougher than most leather armor.
Because the material was Behemoth’s hide.
It saved her from wearing heavy leather armor and allowed her to move more fluidly.
And now that became her poison.
He could feel the softness of her breasts even through her clothes. He clutched her chest. He squeezed and opened his palms, doughing her breasts, which she couldn’t quite grasp.
‘Cloud, you’re crazy!’
Embarrassed, she clenched her fists with both her hands to push him. However, his strong body was not pushed out in the slightest.
In the first place, her fists did not contain much force.
Although she didn’t know that.
Lorraine, who continued to resist for a while, eventually gave up resistance.
‘…okay. He had said he’d do more than a simple kiss from the start. I accepted the condition. So this is just taking responsibility for my words as a royalty.’
She didn’t know how he intended to push, but as long as she accepted it, she must take responsibility as a member of the royal family..!
After rationalizing, little by little she accepted his savage touch—
“Whoa…”
Cloud parted his lips.
At the same time, he removed his hands that were teasing her breasts and buttocks and spread them out to the distance.
Lorraine was stunned by the sudden change of events.
“Uh? What, what happened?”
“What? Today’s over.”
“Is this… the end…?”
“Why? Want more?”
Cloud’s words brought her back to her senses and her face turned red.
She shouted, pointing at Cloud.
“You, you son of a b!tch! Do you know what you just did?!”
“What I did?”
“A commoner, but you put your hands on the body of a royalty! You also groped the breasts and buttocks of a princess who had never been married. Do you know what would happen if an ordinary commoner did that? Death penalty, death penalty!”
“But am I not an ordinary commoner?”
“That’s not what I meant!!!”
His smirk made Lorraine ground teeth. He smiled at her and turned his back on her.
Lorraine frowned.
“Where? You’re not thinking of ghosting me for today, are you? I haven’t even shown my true skills yet.”
“I want to hang out with you more, but I’ve made an appointment earlier.”
“Appointment? Ah.”
Cloud had promised to visit Lewis. She knew how important trust was, so she couldn’t tell him to break off the appointment.
She just click her tongue with an annoyed expression.
“Alright. I’ll excuse it for today. But don’t even think about leaving me stranded next time.”
“Don’t give up. I’m going to win anyway, why would I give up on the fun?”
Before the woman could say anything, Cloud spat another word.
“And next time I won’t finish it on top of the dress.”
With that said, he left the gymnasium.
Lorraine, too shocked to speak, couldn’t say anything more, she just looked at him as he walked away.
Her heart beat wildly, probably because she was angry at his impudence.
* * *
The street where Lupus’s real rich people lived.
Among them, Lorian and his aristocrats were staying at the most luxurious inn.
The same went for Lewis Sentry, who accompanied them.
Even though it was late at night, he was sitting in a chair, still awake.
Because there was a reason to do so.
Knock! Knock!
“What?”
– Young master, Hero Cloud has arrived.
‘Ah, he’s finally here.’
The reason why he hadn’t slept until now.
Was because of the appointment he’d made with Cloud a few hours ago.
An appointment to discuss the cost of damage from Neria in his room.
‘How far can I take it?’
It was related to the honor of the Cloud’s Party.
Depending on what he did, he might be able to get a lot out of it. He opened his mouth, tugging at the corner of his lips that spilled ear to ear.
“Bring him inside.”
The door opened and Cloud entered along with the knight guarding the front.
“I was waiting. Have a seat.”
Lewis pointed across the table to the chair from him. However, Cloud passed Lewis and sat on the bed behind him.
Louis clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘It’s the same whether it’s a b!tch or a guy.’
He did not show his displeasure on his face. While schooling his expression, he pushed the chair towards Cloud. Meanwhile, Cloud scanned Lewis’ face.
“You haven’t been treated yet?”
“It would be a nuisance to go to church at this hour.”
“You can treat it with a potion.”
“I left the potion at the military camp outside. I didn’t foresee that anything like this would happen…”
It was obvious, but a lie.
How could an aristocrat of Lewis’ stature not carry a potion?
Ironically, his face was not treated because these injuries were the only evidence.
‘I can’t erase it until I’m promised good compensation.’
At Lewis’ words, Cloud nodded his head as if he understood.
“It’s about Miss Neria…”
Lewis almost smiled before hardening his expression slightly. Smiling at a time like this would make him an idiot. Give chance, he would even have to cry.
“About that, let me ask you one thing. What the hell did you do to make Neria beat you like a bastard?”
“…Didn’t you hear from Miss Neria?”
“Huh. She didn’t tell.”
“Is that so?”
Lewis was a bit surprised by Cloud’s words.
‘Why didn’t she tell?’
He didn’t know why.
However, taking advantage of this situation might make things easier.
Lewis held back the urge to laugh. Instead, he put on a bitter expression like a victim who was unilaterally assaulted.
“Actually, I don’t know much about that either. Perhaps something in the conversation I had with her got on her nerves… Maybe that part was my fault. But that doesn’t warrant violence. Does it? Hero Cloud?”
Lewis spoke as if he were deliberately asking for consent.
The moment Cloud agreed with his opinion, a consensus would be created and the conversation would be easier.
But instead of answering right away, Cloud stared at Louis.
Time passed slowly.
‘What? Why is he staring at me?’
It was at this point when silence was getting on Lewis’s nerves.
“Hey. Be honest. Gis; did you mention that bastard’s name?”
The muscles bunching Lewis’s face twitched at Cloud’s cold words.
‘The f*ck she didn’t say anything!?’
Was it a lie?
‘No, that must be a guess.’
He had surmount it from here.
“I don’t understand what you are saying.”
“There’s no way she would do that just for mentioning him… Did you make fun at her expense about Gis?”
“I never did that. How could I mock the Hero’s party…”
“You stink.”
Cloud reached out and grabbed Lewis by neck. It happened so quickly that even his escort knights couldn’t react.
Although they belatedly reached for the sword.
“Choose with consequences.”
They were crushed by the ferocious aura flowing from Cloud, and froze.
From that aura, the two knights realized.
That was not just a warning, it was the truth.
The moment they would draw their swords, they would die without being able to resist.
That was how far the distance the two knights felt from Cloud was.
Lewis couldn’t even afford to scold his knights. His throat was strangled and his breathing was laboured.
“Kuh… Hero… If you do this to me… you’ll be in trouble…”
Lewis struggled as he panted.
“You speak too much, traitor bastard.”
Cloud gave Lewis a little more strength in his grip on his neck.
