Chapter 228Previous

Lil was reminded of Sagastars remark about him.

{ Whenever he was angry, he was rather expressionless and silent, which made us afraid enough as it was already }

Meanwhile, Avar was engrossed in his perversion. His hand, which had been on her shoulder earlier, suddenly moved down to her waist and pulled her in.

Dont act like you dont like it and come closer, my lady.

While contemplating whether or not to break the hand that was reaching for her buttocks, Avar fell back. Although his body was moving away from her, his arm was still struggling to reach for her. His dirty intentions completely failed because Ed pushed Avars shoulders further from Lil. Avar glared at Ed and tried to push his body forward until his face and even the back of his neck turned red. Still, even after all the effort, Avar couldnt budge an inch.

Ed, whose needed effort to keep Avar at bay wasnt even straining enough to furrow his brows, spoke rather calmly.

Stop it.

What?

Belatedly realising his tone, Ed corrected himself.

Stop leave her alone, Sir Avar.

Avar eventually managed to regain his footing and slapped Eds arm away.

Fortunately, Ed didnt push or knock down Avar completely, so it hasnt attracted anyones attention yet.

Lil flapped her fan as she watched Ed, trying her best to not show her surprise despite her heart becoming anxious.

What? Are you two lovers?

For the first time, Eds expressionless face twitched, and his adamsappel moved slightly as he swallowed.

Lil looked back and forth between Avar and Ed, chewing her lip in frustration. Avar stroked his beard before declaring.

This woman seduced me first.

That cant be possible.

So, are you two lovers? Why are you making me repeat myself?

Huh? Cant you answer? What are you two? Why would someone whos nothing to her act like this

Pouring out her frustration, Lil quickly took off her gloves. Taking off his justaucorps a little distance away, Ed answered hesitantly.

I had no idea what you were thinking.

I was just faking it, so what did it matter what I thought about it?

I was afraid it might be unpleasant for you

Ed answered in such a gloomy tone that Lil lost the will to argue any further and instead shrivelled up helplessly. Her shoulders, which had been raised high, sank down.

Throwing aside her coat, Lil roughly unpacked the luggage which the servants had placed there in advance.

Just change your clothes.

Lil pulled out an old but clean vest and shirt which she then tossed to Ed. Ed had already undone his cravat and caught the clothes mid-air before draping them over his shoulders. Lil herself sat down on the bed and lifted the hem of her skirt. With her dress still on, she slid her legs into her pants while muttering the rest of her frustration.

Then at least act properly

I was suddenly so surprised

Before Ed fully looked back at Lil, he jerked his body to turn away again.

I didnt mean to. I know its a pathetic excuse, but your dress was too

Too what?

It was too thin

Lil looked down at the dress she was wearing, then closed her mouth, pretending not to hear Eds remark. She clearly remembered the smug smile he had when he first introduced the dress to her.

Chemise la reine.

For no reason, Lil snatched her shirt with a big movement and stretched her arm out. As they were both silent, the only sound in the room was the sound of fabric rustling. No, actually, if they listened closely, they could hear the moans from the room next to theirs

Time passed and Lil became more and more conscious of the noise. Perhaps due to the strange mood in their own room, the sound even seemed to get louder. Lil hoped that it would disappear quickly on its own, but she also knew better that it probably wouldnt.

Despite Lils earnest prayers, Ed, who was changing his shirt, suddenly turned his head. To the wall to his right to be more precise. Surprised by his slight movement, Lil turned her gaze to the back of his head but quickly turned her gaze when she noticed that Ed hadnt pulled his shirt completely over his head yet. Shed seen his bare back a few times before, but the situation this time was so embarrassing that it made her break out in a cold sweat.

They were undressing with the lamp beside the bed as the only light source, so the atmosphere gradually turned strange. To make matters worse, they had been groping each others bodies just moments ago
