Chapter 140
I couldnt get in touch with Abel.
I bet hes not replying because hes upset about engagement, right?
Id rather have that.
Sigren shook his head.
But you know, hes not such a senseless person.
But.
Fortunately, after a while, a letter from Heilon came. I thought it was from Abel, but it wasnt. It was sent by Jeron, who has been Abels aide for a long time.
[Miss, I hope you could come back to Heilon.]
I read the last line of the letter.
[The Duke has gone missing.]
.
The content of the letter was that the activity of the monsters in Heilon had increased rapidly recently. While looking for the cause, it was said that Abel and the other party went missing.
This news was so sudden that it gave me a headache.
That Abel?
First, I called Sir. Leander and Celine.
I got a news that the Duke is missing. I must go back to Heilon.
Their expressions hardened horribly.
I asked the two of them to take care of the mansion.
Are you going alone, miss?
Yeah, I couldnt have anyone to take.
If the lord is missing, then this is not an ordinary thing. Even the Heilons force right now is in difficulty to find him.
Leanders advice colled my excited head.
Right, I would add nothing if I went alone.
While considering how much manpower I could take, Sigren, who learned the whole story, came to the mansion.
I will go too.
But you
Im sorry Fiona, I have no intention of listening to you this time.
He sighed and stroked my cheek.
You want me to send you there alone when it is unknown whether Abel is alive or dead? Do you want to see me go crazy?
.
I couldnt deny it.
If something wrong happened to me, after Abel, Sigren would be left alone.
Fiona, you will need me.
I guess so
SIgren stroked my shoulders soothingly, then he hugged me.
I obediently surrendered myself to him.
Abel, no, Master. Even if only his neck remains, he will be alive and bouncing around, so dont worry too much.
Did he call this consolation?
I tugged at the end of his hair with a grump.
Ouch.
Try to improve your speaking skill, Your Highness. Though it doesnt have to be like my pillow talk.
He laughed briefly as if I was nonsensical.
You, you didnt really think that saying lets get married was a pillowtalk dispute, did you? Though, from my point of view, it was like an unexpected trap.
Wait, thats harsh!
As I sighed in a sulk, Sigren picked me up.
Put me down!
Despite my struggle, Sigren did not budge. He then put me down slowly on my bed.
I quickly covered myself with the duvet.
Sigrens worried voice echoed through the duvet.
Would it be better for me to be with you today?
Im fine. Ive slept in your room before. If you sleep in my room this time, it will be confirmed.
He would make Celine, who was in an already distraught mind, feel more complicated.
Fiona, these days you.
Uncharacteristically, Sigren slurred his words.
What am I?
I stuck my head out under the blanket.
He straightened my disheveled hair with a loving gesture.
Im worried. You seem to have changed a bit. Youve become much more serious when dealing with something.
Not good?
Well, there were times when I wished you would be like this But it doesnt seem good to be affected that much and this often by your thought.
I know.
I also didnt know if the change was good or bad. But Ill worry about myself later.
I spread my arms.
Im so surprise that I cant make a proper decision, so please comfort me first.
Sigren now picked me up again and put me on his lap. Then I locked him in my arms. When I felt his body temperature, I definitely felt stable. Then I could hear his grumbling that he had no intention of being tortured and would do anything if I showed weakness.
.
I leaned onto him and fell into thought.
Force I think there was something useful.
Ah, Kwonter.
Why are you suddenly calling his name in my arms?
Sigren, who had been still, kissed the back of my exposed shoulder, neck, and ear.
Ah, stop it! It tickles! Right, Kwonter!
That guy what?
Oh right, Sigren didnt know.
Kwonter said, he would do anything I asked
Of course, he didnt really mean that as he said it to comfort me, but I could manipulate my memory at will.
At the same time, Sigren, who had been kissing me softly, began to scratch my skin with his teeth. It was like an animal tasting its food before biting it.
Ah, please dont bite! Dont bite!
I have to find Kwonter.
Then, Sigren really bit my shoulder.
I shuddered. It didnt hurt, but it was a strange feeling.
You said you wouldnt do it again!
Sigren sneered. I never said that. I said I would be careful in the future.
That or that.
Then I shuddered again as Sigren started lowering his lips along my spine.
That, stop!
Sigren muttered.
You leave when youre done with your business. I gave my heart and body, but I felt like a concubine who was abandoned,..
What a pitiful thing.
I quickly put my lips on his cheek.
Kwonter is not the point here, its Abel and Heilon.
Sigren replied sincerely, I know.
Oh well. Somehow I did feel like I threw him away when I was done with my business, but
I wont blame you if you do more later. I said it without thinking about the future because Sigren was bothering me and I had to think about recruiting Kwonter.
Sigrens eyes narrowed.
Please dont regret saying that later.
Im already starting to regret it.
