Moonlight from the day she first captured Delia shone through her golden hair.
He was foolishly pleased to have captured an important prisoner.
Now was the time to wake him up.
The prisoner was not her, but himself.
“Take me. If you take me, everything that belongs to me will be yours.”
Delia blinked at the unbelievable words.
What did I just hear?
It was clear that the commander was playing tricks with Eolenti as an excuse to exploit him.
“Put this down. Do you think I’m going to play along with such a word game?”
“I’ll give you all the Eolenti I’ve collected so far. The king, the crown, even the pebble.”
Delia shouted, pushing away Aaron’s chest, whose intentions to either confine or protect her were unclear.
“I was fooled once by your words to take your bet. There won’t be a second time.”
“If you don’t want to leave Eolenti. I’ll let you live in Eolenti.”
Aaron whispered softly as Delia tried to escape his bondage.
Despite the confusion, his voice was wrapped sweetly like a bubble.
“You don’t have to go to the empire. You don’t have to go to Boswell.”
Aaron gently caressed Delia’s cheek.
His heart tingled at her touch transmitted through his palm.
It was soft and warm, incomparable to the rough stone.
“We’re going to protect Eolenti together here.”
Delia muttered as if she didn’t believe it.
“That’s impossible. How?”
Delia’s harsh defiance gradually diminished.
The strength in her hand pushing against Aaron’s chest weakened.
That was Aaron’s prisoner.
A princess who doesn’t even look back at her enemies unless it’s Eolenti.
Del who only listens to the story if she has Eolenti.
Aaron looked at Delia, who had barely calmed down.
“I’m going to be the regent of Eolenti.”
“Regent?”
If you’re a regent….
You govern the country as a proxy for the king.
Delia listened to his soft voice, repeating the meaning of being a regent.
“The commander of the Stillets Empire, which occupied Eolenti, will sign a peace treaty on the condition of regency.”
Aaron made it clear to Delia what he had.
She had to wake her up to what she could have if she had him.
So she can choose him.
“At the same time as the treaty, I will receive all the powers of the king and rule Eolenti.”
Delia’s face hardened again at the reality of Eolenti that Aaron awakened her to.
Aaron firmly held Delia trying to run away again.
And gently stroked her hardened cheek, as if trying to loosen it.
Delia couldn’t think of anything else, endlessly whispering with a sensual breath.
“Regent Aaron Bergen will marry the Princess of Eolenti for smooth rule of Eolenti.”
“Marriage?”
“The regent, who is ignorant of the circumstances of the occupation, will seek advice from his wife whenever something happens in Eolenti.”
Delia, unknowingly, leaned her cheek on his hand and listened to the story.
“Whenever that happens, the regent’s wife will give a wise answer.”
Aaron’s hand touched Delia’s cheek and her soft earlobe, which seemed to melt.
The touch of his big hand brushing her small earlobe became deep.
Nevertheless, Delia didn’t push his hand away, absorbed in the story of Eolenti that Aaron was telling.
“The regent will completely follow his wife’s opinion. The regent is already blind to his wife, so he can’t make a rational judgment.”
“……”
“The one who actually rules Eolenti will be the regent’s wife.”
The regent, on behalf of the regent.
At his radical proposal, Delia blinked her eyes.
She felt her head go numb.
“The person who marries me can have Eolenti.”
“What if I refuse to become the regent’s wife?”
Strength naturally entered Aaron’s hand stroking her ear.
Like holding a butterfly’s wing trying to fly away again, he grabbed Delia’s cheek.
Strong enough not to lose,
Careful not to break.
“Aaron Bergen will leave everything related to Eolenti and leave.”
At the subtle force coming through her ear, Delia exhaled shallowly.
“Are you leaving?”
“Without her, Eolenti means nothing.”
“I’d rather leave……”
The voice she tried to utter to shake him off trembled thinly.
“When I leave, they will appoint a new commander in the homeland and send him here. There are plenty who want to conquer Iorenti and establish their own sphere of influence.”
As Aaron spoke of departure, his fingers were still softly caressing Delia’s cheek.
As if begging her to look at him.
“Because of them, Iorenti will be absorbed into the empire and disappear. As it was originally intended.”
“…..”
“You just have to choose me. Their presence alone prevents them from acting recklessly.”
“…..”
“Who would dare show dissatisfaction if the only Grand Duke of the Empire were to govern this place directly?”
Delia looked at Aaron with wavering eyes.
Only now was his intention vaguely visible.
He had Iorenti in his grasp, and he was using it to shake her.
She should reject him and push him away…
While Delia was hesitating to answer, Aaron’s moist, foglike voice seeped in.
“For the Iorenti you love so much, take me. I’m willing to be used.”
The passionate desire in his cold silvergray eyes was felt by Delia.
