Enoch, reminded that the marquis was staring at him intently, took out several documents and a pen.
“First, please sign these documents.”
“Sign?”
The marquis examined the documents. It was a standard commodity trade document. However, the details of the goods, amount, and signatures were missing.
“What kind of commodity trade is this?”
“It’s a Goddess’s Tears trade document.”
Philip repeatedly confirmed my feelings until late at night. There were memories of being together before. But this time, it was quite different.
He was as skilled as before, to the extent that it seemed unbelievable. However, this time, he didn’t finish with just one.
He relentlessly pressed on as if engraving, simultaneously gasping for breath and pleading for love.
I answered, sobbing profusely, that I love him too. It was a truly complex feeling.
When he pressed on, I wanted to run away. But I didn’t want to let go of him, who was in my hands. Tears flowed incessantly. However, the overwhelming emotion throughout my body was the joy of love.
Eventually, as the faint dawn began to illuminate, it seemed like he fell asleep for a moment.
When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was the violet eyes staring at me.
“Ellen.”
Philip whispered sensually with a slightly husky voice.
“This morning will be unforgettable, even for a moment.”
Even for a moment.
It seems like a comment on the actions I took the day after a night of our past intimate moments.
But this time, I wasn’t intoxicated, nor was it a hangover, nor a dream.
Moreover, thanks to the fatigue recovery potion I drank yesterday, I didn’t feel as tired as I thought. So, I wanted to reassure him.
This time, I wouldn’t scream or kick Philip away.
But Philip, as if waiting, climbed on top of me and began to shower me with kisses.
“Ellen, how’s your condition? Is your body okay?”
“Huh?”
I twisted my body slightly.
“I’m fine.”
Philip’s eyes became moist at my response.
“Then, Ellen…”
‘Huh? Already in the morning?’
“Ellen.”
‘Philip, don’t you seem too beastly right now?’
Contrary to my doubts, the embarrassment soon disappeared when Philip called my name as if urging.
I couldn’t resist the voice that melted into my ears with such sweetness.
Since my condition was quite good, I surrendered my body entirely to the pleasure he provided.
As our love was completed, the rapidly beating breath gradually subsided. Philip’s moist lips touched my forehead, which was soaked in sweat, as they fell.
As we embraced each other and took a moment to rest, the sense of reality gradually returned.
“What time is it?”
Philip, checking the clock, affectionately stroked my hair.
“It’s seven in the morning.”
“Do you know what time we went to bed yesterday?”
Philip chuckled.
“It was already past five since it got bright.”
So, it meant we hadn’t even slept for two hours.
“It’s amazing. But even so, you woke up so sparklingly…”
I sat up to find my robe. Now, I was thinking of taking a bath.
“What would you like to do now? A bath?”
“Of course…”
While answering, I suddenly felt something strange.
It felt like Philip had been waiting for me to ask. Looking again, he wasn’t wearing a robe.
Although I had seen him all night, his manly appearance made my face blush again as Philip picked me up.
“Philip?”
“I finished preparing the bath a little while ago.”
“…Huh?”
In the bathroom, there were three large buckets of different materials and sizes. One was on fire, and one had about half-filled water.
And in the middle, there was a bathtub big enough for two adults. It was filled with water, and rose petals were scattered in the tub.
“I hope you don’t mind since the bathtub is spacious.”
“What?”
Philip embraced me and gently lowered our bodies into the bathtub. It became a posture where he back-hugged me.
The bathwater at the perfect temperature and the flower petals enveloped our bodies warmly. The fragrance of the bathwater was very pleasant. It seemed like he had added quite a good bath additive.
“I wanted it like this.”
Philip leaned my head against his chest slightly and started to stroke my hair. Then, he lightly kissed my forehead and shyly smiled.
“I didn’t mention it separately because I didn’t want to go through the hassle of preparing bathwater twice.”
“Could it be…?”
It was hard to believe, but I asked just to be sure.
“Did you prepare the bathwater yourself?”
“Yes, I don’t want to be disturbed by anyone right now.”
Philip nonchalantly agreed.
“Calling a servant again would be troublesome in many ways.”
“…I see.”
Hearing his words, a second question arose.
“How long did you sleep? You didn’t sleep less than me, did you?”
“What time is it now, and why are you asking if I slept?”
“What?”
“After some time, His Majesty will call for me. Then, I’ll return to my piled-up work like a mountain.”
Philip chuckled.
“So, I thought every second was precious and kept looking at you.”
A slight tension appeared in Philip’s arms that were embracing me. His lips lightly touched my wet cheek and then fell.
“I kept gazing at you.”
Philip’s lips touched my neck and then fell.
“I hope I can continue like this… but.”
The end of Philip’s sentence blurred for a moment.
“Philip?”
When I turned around, Philip sighed softly.
“I realized that asking to stay with you indefinitely is an irresponsible desire. At most, it could be a fortnight…”
“…”
“When His Majesty’s condition is good, it’s okay, but we never know what might happen.”
It was a story about the current king. Since I was asking, I continued.
“How long do you expect it to be until the new king enters?”
“According to the words of the palace and the priests, it will take about one to six months.”
Philip tightly clasped my hand.
“Ellen, the palace will soon be in chaos.”
I nodded to his serious voice. There was nothing particularly new since I already knew.
Philip fell silent. I had no choice but to look back at him.
Our eyes met immediately. Deep violet eyes that showed a firm determination.
Philip seemed to have a strong demand for me.
But he didn’t say it directly.
After a simple bath, we put on our robes.
“Ellen, about what I was going to say earlier.”
Approaching me and giving me a kiss on the cheek, Philip opened a jewelry box he had brought, demanding it in a serious tone.
“Let’s…”
Inside the jewelry box, a diamond ring sparkled brilliantly, as if containing all the light in the world.
“…reunite.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
