BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20.1
"… What? What did you just say? Did I hear it wrong?”
Elga was terribly bewildered, just as expected.
Her hot, red, boiling octopus face was covered in sweat.
“Are my ears not working properly? Did you really just make that crazy request? You dare ask to touch a Marquis' daughter's chest?”
Elga dismissed it as a crazy request.
Which was true.
Who would dare touch the breasts of a great family's Young Lady, who’d been treated with utmost care and respect since her birth?
Even if the bodyguards were to slit his throat, he had no say in the matter.
Of course, there were no bodyguards here right now.
On the contrary, Elga was more dangerous than ten bodyguards combined. At this moment, she was frowning so much that I couldn't really say anything.
“You're simply seeking death! Considering that you've contributed and worked hard for the Kingdom, I'll pretend I didn't hear anything. There won't be a next time…"
Did I get rejected here too?
Another failure…
No matter how forward and aggressive Elga was, it seemed that she was still modest enough to not just allow a man to touch her chest.
Her guard was stronger than I thought.
This wasn't a time where I could control Elga at will, yet.
"I'm sorry. Then, please forget what I said.”
"Yes, I'll forgive you because I am merciful and generous. However, you can't just go around and say that kind of thing to other girls, like, ever! Don't touch me even if I give you permission, or you'll be executed.”
"Yes, I also think that'll be the case.”
After giving an appropriate response, I quickly reflected on what just happened.
It was said that hunks could cross the line with the women they liked in just one day.
How on earth did those guys destroy a woman’s guard in such a short time?
I could solve many problems with ease, but the relationship between a man and a woman was hard.
If only I could master ‘Love’, then it wouldn't be hard to seduce Elga or Aira, and have them act according to my plan.
This was really difficult for an amateur ‘lover’ like me.
The confidence that I had painstakingly built up recently through various hardships continued to crumble.
Was my face the problem?
Was being handsome the answer?
No, the face of this body wasn't something people would call ‘ugly’. In fact, you could even say that it was actually quite good-looking.
If there was a flaw, then it would be the large scar on my face.
Jirit, jirit-
I felt a throbbing pain from the top of my right eyebrow to my cheek.
At times, when I thought of the scar, it would start to hurt.
Seuk-
So, I raised my hand and massaged the mark. Gently stroking it helped relieve some of the pain.
However, a small shadow was cast on Elga's expression when she saw this.
“What are you doing now? I know that I'm the one who gave you the scar. Are you pressuring me with this?”
Pressuring you?
I remembered when Elga gave me the scar. It was a year ago, right before we departed for a royal banquet to celebrate Aira’s birthday.
“Why did you suddenly bring me here? I thought I was supposed to have a good rest tonight?”
The memories of that time were vivid.
I was brought to the training ground as usual, thinking I would get hit and be Elga's stress relief sandbag.
“Why did you pull out a dagger? You are scaring me…”
“Hey, don't blame me for this, it is unavoidable! Aira is not interested in blemishes or stains.”
Chwaak-
Elga then skillfully drew the dagger from my eyebrow to my cheek.
It was the first time I had experienced getting sliced by a blade. I was so stunned and surprised. It was scary, there was so much blood…
“Aira always takes the best things I have. You were a miraculous Half-Nymph slave so I was bound to lose you, alright? Of course, I didn't know you were a Half-Nymph at the time, but….”
Seuk, seuksseuk-
Elga's feet started digging a pit again. From this, I sensed what might be called a gap in her mind.
Was this gap usable?
Having done the calculations, I said my piece, grasping the last straw of hope.
“The scar… The scar would sting at night~.”
“That's why I said I was sorry! I was just trying to make a little mark, but you moved and it got bigger than intended. It was your fault!”
Elga screamed out loud.
No, you were blaming the victim for this?
A complex feeling arose from my heart. I didn't know whether it was due to the absurdity of the situation or simply my gloominess.
I was speechless. At this moment, my brows began to frown.
Elga, who was looking at me, also waved her hand in a hurry as if feeling guilty from her own words.
“No, that’s not what I meant. Huuu-. Yes, I admit that I was wrong, al… alright? Here, as an apology, I'll let you touch my chest once…”
“Really!?”
When I asked brightly, Elga's expression softened. She seemed relieved.
“I won’t say it twice. You can only touch once, only once! I'll give you 10 seconds, no, five seconds!!"
It wasn't the way I intended it to be, but in the end, I was able to touch Elga's chest. It was a bit different from the ‘how to tame and control Elga' that I had planned.
Still, if you miss the opportunity to touch a woman's breasts, you are not a man!
Elga had very big honkers.
In fact, even when I was very angry with Elga, there were times when my irritation subsided as I watched them watermelons going up and down.
Could those knockers be the reason for the strangely high morale of Elga’s bodyguards?
And I could touch them.
For 5 whole seconds!
At this opportunity, blood naturally flowed to my lower body and something was rising.
[T/N: It's not the shield hero.]
“Tonight, any bad blood between us so far will be considered settled after this. Do you understand?”
Seueuk.
Elga then puffed her chest forward.
Perhaps it was due to her dress, but the impact was great. Its shape was so mesmerizing that I started drooling.
Now, it was time to finally touch it!
Seureureuk.
I slowly walked towards Elga.
“Ah, wait a minute.”
Suddenly, Elga stopped me and took a deep breath.
“Alright, 5 seconds. I'll count and if you touch any longer than that, you are dead!”
"Okay."
"Then-."
Seuk- Putting her hands behind her back, Elga closed her eyes.
Meanwhile, I slowly reached out towards Elga's chest.
