As Liz’s eyes widened like a startled rabbit, Kain tilted his head and spoke.
“You were planning to wear those, then?”
“That’s… not… what I meant…”
“Shall I help you take them off?”
As he said this and took a step forward, Liz involuntarily let out a shriek and stepped back.
“What are you taking off? Can’t you go away?”
As Liz further closed the distance and spoke, Kain innocently asked as if he didn’t understand.
“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? I always used to do this.”
Ah… that’s right. Liz just remembered.
Yes, it was always something Kain did. No, something she always asked him to do.
‘Kain, can you unbutton the back for me?’
‘Kain, my arm is uncomfortable, can you help me take off my clothes?’
She had tried everything to seduce him. Thinking about those times made her want to dunk her head in the bath right now.
When will the foolish past stop following her?
When will it stop making her repeatedly feel embarrassed?
Somehow, it seems so far away. That must be an illusion, right?
“I, I’ll take them off.”
Liz spoke, extending her hand towards Kain who was approaching.
“Go ahead, then.”
“But there….”
Liz started to untie the knot and then spoke.
“Could you turn around?”
“Are you not wearing anything underneath?”
“No, it’s not that.”
“Then just take them off. You’ll be seen anyway.”
Although he was right, why was it so embarrassing?
Liz awkwardly removed her gown.
The touch of the moist air on her bare skin felt utterly foreign.
The thought that it felt light and good to wear it was now completely gone.
Meanwhile, Kain approached, took the gown, and hung it on the wall.
He then checked the water temperature inside the bathtub with his inner arm, and without hesitation, picked up Liz.
“I, I can get in. I can.”
Liz quickly spoke, but it was useless.
“The floor is slippery.”
Kain swiftly lifted Liz over the railing and stepped into the bathtub.
‘He didn’t have to go to this extent.’
The touch of his firm chest on her arm was very stimulating.
She tried so hard to divert her gaze elsewhere.
But the more she did, the more vivid and enticing the slippery touch of his steamy, moistened skin felt.
Had she been possessed before, she might have tried every trick to be held in those arms. No, thinking about it, she already had. A couple of times?
Of course, all were failures.
She must have been crazy.
Why didn’t she realize it sooner?
That he wasn’t just a slave. That he was the protagonist of the novel, the next emperor of the empire. That this world itself existed for him.
With that thought, Liz suddenly sobered up and was able to escape from the seduction of Kain’s dazzling body.
“Let go of me now.”
Liz stood on her two legs in the water and pushed Kain away.
But then…
“You, have you done something like this before?”
Suddenly, Liz became curious. What does he know to say that he will train her?
“Of course. I’ve tried it long ago during swordsmanship training. Water training is a common thing for swordsmen.”
“Really……?”
At that moment, Liz wanted to tease Kain.
“You lived in the countryside just chopping wood, so when did you receive swordsmanship training?”
“…….”
Kain’s expression stiffening was subtly amusing.
‘What will His Highness, the Crown Prince, say?’
“Just… received it briefly. From my uncle.”
“Ah… uncle?”
‘Are you talking about the Duke of Montaner, who is combing the world to kill you?’
She only said this in her mind. It was absolutely not something she could say out loud, even in jest.
“So what do we do now?”
Liz quickly changed the subject.
“Walk around once.”
Kain held out a hand to Liz, and she lightly placed her hand on top of his. The two walked around the edge of the spacious bath, as if taking a stroll.
And they returned to the starting point.
“What will we do now?”
Kain asked the second time.
“What’s the purpose of this training?”
“To dance.”
“Then we must dance.”
“Is that possible?”
It took so much time just to walk, could they dance in the water, where they have to move faster and turn lightly?
“We have to do it. If I am to uphold my Lady’s honor.”
“Chuckle!”
Liz laughed, having precisely said what she wanted. He seems to know everything he needs to know.
At that moment, Kain suddenly approached quickly, and the distance between the two narrowed considerably.
In an instant, her view was filled with his firm chest.
Liz unknowingly gasped, looking up at Kain and her body involuntarily tensed.
Then Kain, with his thick and solid arms, wrapped around Liz’s waist and pulled her close, saying,
“Relax your strength. It won’t work well if you tense up.”
Through the faintly foggy steam, Kain’s eyes seemed strange.
This man, were his eyes always like this?
Were they always so moist and sticky?
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
