Her startled, retreating figure resembled a rabbit before a predator.
It was cute, but seeing a loved one scared was enough to break Nathaniel’s spirit.
“It’s nothing.”
It seemed like he had expressed more, followed the Viscount’s opinion, and quietly listened to Jaina.
Where had he gone wrong?
Pondering deeply, he drooped his shoulders. Winning someone’s heart was harder than Nathaniel had ever realized.
The weight of his emotions grew, and it pressed down on Nathaniel.
‘It hurts again.’
The Viscount had told Nathaniel that this pain was also love.
The fact that the other person might not feel the same was painful.
“What’s wrong?”
Jaina, who had come closer, wore a worried expression. Nathaniel glanced at her and shook his head.
“It’s nothing.”
Jaina sat next to Nathaniel and placed her hand on his cheek. The slightly elevated temperature and soft scent gradually improved his mood.
Nathaniel bowed his head and rested his forehead on her shoulder.
“You’re sick again, aren’t you?”
Though not actually ill, Nathaniel stayed still.
He liked Jaina worrying about him this way. He nestled into her embrace a little more playfully.
Jaina stiffened a little in surprise, but soon gently patted his back.
He thought this was enough, but he got a little greedy. Nathaniel lifted his head and placed his hand on Jaina’s cheek.
“Ah.”
His gaze was caught on her lips, which he had touched before.
He wanted to touch them.
Nathaniel raised himself slightly. He moved the hand touching her cheek and pulled Jaina down.
He finally grasped her warmth.
(This is a time separator.)
“What’s wrong?”
Nathaniel turned his gaze and shook his head. It meant that nothing was wrong, but somehow it seemed otherwise.
I stood up from my seat and sat next to him.
“It’s nothing.”
He seemed to be lying. I reached out and placed my hand on his cheek.
Nathaniel’s temperature was higher than usual. It was lower than when he had a cold, but considering his normally low body temperature, it was quite high.
“You’re sick again, aren’t you?”
Then he bowed his head and buried his face in my shoulder. I was startled and momentarily stiffened.
But I soon regained my composure and patted his back. Nathaniel let out a short groan and snuggled into my embrace.
The sight of him leaning on me in my arms brought a strange satisfaction.
It felt like taming a wild beast, a thrilling sensation spreading throughout my body.
“Ah.”
Suddenly, Nathaniel, who had raised his head, reached out. The heat that touched my cheek was unbelievably hot. The hand that brushed from my cheek to my neck and went behind exerted pressure on my upper body.
The moment our breaths entwined, I tightly closed my eyes.
Strength filled the hand that was holding him.
He was so passionate that it was hard to believe he was always the calm and composed Nathaniel.
Our lips met and parted several times.
“Jaina.”
I was choked by the deep desire filled in his red eyes. Is this really okay?
‘What if I’m ruining his future?’
I had to admit it now. I wanted Nathaniel to stay by my side, as a family or a lover.
I wanted to keep the proud and free descendant of the dragon by my side.
“If I had known how your end would be, I wouldn’t have to worry like this.”
The reason I changed Teresa’s fate was that I knew her life would end in misery.
But Nathaniel was different. Perhaps leaving this noisy world might be much happier?
Thinking of Nathaniel flying away alone and at ease, my mood sank.
“What are you talking about?”
“Are you sure Nathaniel won’t regret choosing me?”
I had no confidence.
The plan I thought was perfect was badly distorted, and Teresa was still exposed to danger.
If my greed endangered Nathaniel’s life, I would hate it.
Because I wanted him to be happy.
“Why would I regret?”
“Because you were forced into marriage…”
The expression on Nathaniel, listening to my story, hardened.
Yeah, it was an absurd story even to me.
If he was going to regret it, he would have done it already.
“Do you feel burdened because I said I like you?”
“No? No. That’s not it.”
I never felt burdened.
‘Rather, I liked it if I liked it.’
The unscary him was trembling thinly. Nathaniel was also an emotional being, and he was afraid of being rejected.
I realized then that I was doing something awful to him.
“Nathaniel, I…”
“I told you. I’ll wait.”
Nathaniel cut off my words. Although he pretended not to be, he somehow looked more anxious than before.
As if my anxiety was contagious.
“I, I must be busy, so I’ll leave now.”
Nathaniel abruptly stood up and tried to avoid the spot. I quickly grabbed him.
I had a premonition that something big would happen if I left him alone like this.
“Nathaniel.”
The caught him didn’t know what to do, then turned around.
The moment I met his frightened eyes, my heart broke down.
I had hurt the person who supported and loved me because I was scared.
“I’m okay.”
“Nathaniel.”
“So you don’t have to talk about it…….”
He stammered and kept stepping back.
I tightly grabbed his hand that was retreating as if running away.
I didn’t want to hurt him anymore while pretending not to know my feelings.
“I like Nathaniel too.”

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
