What kind of nonsense is this ignorant orphan talking about now? Kazan Casimir had a hard time understanding Evan’s words.

No, maybe I was just refusing to understand myself.

-She will always be my woman, so I don’t think I can hand her over to you.

The nonsense he spouted while embracing Lete’s body as if it were his own. It’s not worth believing, so there’s no reason to be angry.

Kazan grabbed the bouquet as if he was going to crush it. His eyes were so emotional that the veins were clearly visible.

As the intimidation that Lethe had been radiating until just before dissipated in an instant, her anger multiplied.

‘How dare you… … . You don’t even know the topic… … !’

Naturally, the fact that Lethe had tried to grab his throat was forgotten in his mind.

Now, such facts were of no importance. The only thing that mattered was that this commoner of humble origins was standing in his way.

On the one hand, it was also a struggle to somehow forget the previous situation.

I conveniently ignore the fact that it was Lethe who made me want to live.

Instead, he conveniently resents the fact that Evan blocked him.

… … Born into a prestigious family and raised as its heir, Kazan never went without what he wanted throughout his life.

He was overflowing with talent. His looks were also outstanding.

Even in the background, he is one of the ten most powerful people in the Sun Cult that encompasses this continent. He even has a cardinal as his father.

There was just one thing he wanted to get his hands on but couldn’t act rashly about.

For Kazan, the girl named Lete Heresia was just that kind of person.

A daughter of a sacred family of the same rank. In fact, when looking at the actual family power, the Heresia family was one level higher than Casimir.

How upset I was when I heard that my engagement proposal had been rejected when I was young.

The childish irritation soon turned into a sticky desire, and the desire became obsession and stubbornness, which was reflected in Lethe Heresia when they met again later.

By now, Kazan was confident that he could easily hug the woman he liked.

Because he had the ability to do so. Because he had enough circumstances to do so. The only woman he wanted to embrace no matter what, but was unable to embrace in the end, was Lethe.

But still, I thought that someday, in the not-too-distant future, she would become my woman.

I never doubted that the day would come when I would be able to dominate that beautiful body.

‘A woman like that… … . The chastity that should have been mine, the purity that was only allowed to me, how dare a commoner like you… … !’

Kazan, who had been lost in dark, damp delusions, soon returned to reality.

His two eyes glared at Evan with clear murderous intent. More specifically, Evan’s right hand, which was touching Lete’s body while he was holding her.

This is the woman he had to touch.

It was the female body he had been lusting after.

I wished that one day, that innocent face would be covered with a lustful veil… … The flower on the cliff that I had been looking forward to my whole life.

But what does this mean? Why on earth is the once proud Lete Heresia being held so obediently by that orphan?

And with her face blushing in a way that didn’t suit her, she shyly pushed her hair back─.

“… … Ah.”

He didn’t want to see that disgusting sight any longer. Kazan approached Evan as soon as he heard something snap.

Thud, thud!

‘I’ll kill you.’

He clenched his fist so hard that it trembled. Now that he could unleash his divine power, he filled it with energy.

Those around him who had been watching the confrontation until now were surprised and tried to stop him, but the distance had already narrowed to its limit.

Kazan only had Evan in his sight. He didn’t even look at the other useless things.

The glimmer of affection, and the lust that was mixed with that emotion, was completely trampled.

With just an indifferent look on his face… … Kazan pulled his arm back to punish the commoner in front of him.

“I think it would be better to close it.”

Just before he threw his fist, Kazan’s pupils rolled slightly to the side to catch sight of Lethe licking her lips.

A tone that hints at a sense of pity somewhere. A simple muttering that does not do anything to stop the violence.

“This guy is stronger than me.”

Hwaaah-!!

“… … !?”

Before Kazan could even judge its profound meaning─. his eyes turned bright red.

A red color that fills the field of vision, resembling a holy, burning flame.

It was not a metaphor. Kazan had to feel the thought of stretching his long arms back and scattering them around in disgust.

‘what.’

The dry drool passed without my will. Before I knew it, the red blade had come close enough to stab my eyeball… … . It was there.

Spear of Holy Light. One of the representative sacred techniques of high-ranking priests. It is a technique with a simple structure but that can produce a rather deadly power with a single strike.

One, two, three, four, five, six. If you count the eerie presence behind them, maybe fifteen.

At that very moment, a spear of holy light was floating above Kazan, aimed at his entire body.

Perhaps with just one gesture from the caster, they would turn Kazan into a beehive.

Kazan’s right eye, looking at the tip of the spear blade, shook incessantly. The divine power that had been drawn out was dispersed as it regained its manners and etiquette.

Evan twisted his fingertips lightly to adjust the direction of the spears of light. He really had no intention of stabbing Kazan, but at least it was enough of a threat.

“How many times do I have to tell you until you understand?”

And a sneer appeared on his lips. Evan deliberately kissed Lete in his arms, her hair, and teased her.

“Lethe is my personal rug. She will never whine under you… … .”

Whether Lete flinched and looked at him fiercely or not, Evan continued to say what he wanted to say.

“Please understand the topic and speak appropriately, you idiot. Don’t you feel ashamed of yourself for constantly talking to other people’s women without any sense?”

“… … .”

“That’s why ‘that’ Elijah doesn’t want to sleep with you because he doesn’t want to touch you.”

By raising it to the stop, you are perfectly putting in the finishing blow.

I felt a little bad for bringing up Elijah for no reason, but whatever. I could just buy her something delicious to eat later.

Anyway, Kazan was turned into a stone statue in place with an earthquake in his pupils thanks to his last remark.

“You… …!”

Lethe turned to Evan and was about to vent her frustration, but he silenced her.

Thud!

“… … Huh!? Huh, huff!?”

“Look, Lete is vehemently agreeing with what I’m saying. Do you get it?”

“Ugh, ugh… … !”

“Ack! Don’t bite, you crazy bitch!”

Evan, who had pressed Lete hard once more, glanced at Kazan with an awkward expression.

He was still frozen, staring blankly at the sight before him. It seemed as though he would not be able to escape from that state for at least a while.

‘You must have been quite shocked.’

Evan clicked his tongue internally. Well, it didn’t really matter whether Kazan said that or not.

It seems like I’ve overly crushed a man’s innocence. But even so, was it really necessary to do this much to make it right in front of my eyes?

There is clearly no reason to do so, but I feel guilty without realizing it… … .

“… … um.”

Anyway, this hallway was too crowded. As the standoff dragged on, onlookers poured in like a tidal wave, causing a distraction.

“Okay… … . Then, from now on, please behave yourself so that you don’t approach our child.”

“!?”

Evan quickly snapped out of his thoughts. Still holding onto Lete, he spun around and placed her against his side.

Lethe, who was suddenly caught like a cat, fluttered her eyelids wondering what was happening─.

“Okay, see you next time.”

As Evan snapped his fingers, the spears of light surrounding Kazan also scattered as if they had been waiting for it.

While Kazan was blankly staring at the camera, the two men and women disappeared like the wind.

To be exact, it was a man who had a woman by his side and then left on his own.

Even if others didn’t know, Kazan couldn’t even perceive their disappearing movements.

I just stood there trembling, engulfed in anger, humiliation, defeat, and humiliation, as well as a grudge as thick as mud.

*****

“Pooha… … !”

After a long run to the other side of the library, we arrived at a deserted outdoor hallway.

As the cool night breeze passed by, Lethe was finally freed from the silence.

And then, after catching her breath for a moment… … . She glared at him fiercely and grabbed Evan by the collar, pulling him towards her.

“You really… … ! What the hell are you doing… … !?”

Naturally, it was intended to express dissatisfaction with this arbitrary behavior.

“I’m sorry, Lete.”

“Yeah, you should feel sorry for me… … . What?”

Lethe was the one who was taken aback by Evan’s direct apology that followed.

She looked up with a dumbfounded expression. Even though he had been grabbed by the collar and pulled away, Evan Lane was still standing at eye level with her.

He was scratching his cheek with an embarrassed expression, not responding.

“I know you hate that kind of vulgar language, but I can’t think of anything more definitive to discourage him.”

“… … .”

“… … Of course I don’t really think of you that way. Don’t misunderstand.”

Evan finished his speech while observing Lete’s expression. The words he spoke with a careful tone were─.

Perhaps that’s what the ‘rug’ thing meant. Lethe opened her lips, then closed them again.

Evan, who was alone in interpreting the silence, kept reaching out to Lete and then stopping, gauging her mood.

The silence continued for a long time. Only Lete had the authority to break the silence, and it was only after a long time that she spoke again.

“… … This is ridiculous, really.”

The first words, spoken quite bluntly, seemed to be accompanied by a hint of shyness.

Lete, her hair freshly tucked behind her ear, grabbed my arm and turned my gaze away.

“If you hadn’t helped me like that, I could have handled it on my own… … ? It was really useless, huh? That kind of interference.”

“… … Uh… … .”

It was a feeling that was difficult to reconcile with one another, but in fact, the feeling was truly that way.

Evan looked at her with great confusion. How should he interpret this reaction?

It was at that time that the data in his head was comparing and contrasting the appearances of Lethe Heresia up to now, and trying to establish the most plausible hypothesis.

“How can you say such rude and vulgar words to a girl… … ?”

Lete’s words and actions gradually became more and more inconsistent. She blushed and lowered her posture subtly.

So, he carefully knelt down on both knees in front of Evan’s lower body and raised his head.

Gulp!

Evan swallowed dryly without realizing it. It was because he could sense an unknown heat, passion, and desire within those two walls of hers.

“Haa… … .”

But he was not given a choice as to how the situation would unfold. Lethe let out a slightly ragged breath and touched the pants in front of him.

“!? Hey, hey!”

Evan desperately tried to push her hand away, but Lethe continued her actions silently.

A sweet voice leaked out from between her lips, as if she was excited or thrilled.

“… … I can’t help it. Just for today, I’ll do as you say.”

“What? No, no. What are you talking about.”

“Take off your pants, Evan… … .”

Lete looked up at Evan with rapt eyes. There was a rather captivating smile and laughter on her lips.

Her lovely, pink lips fluttered.

“I’ll do it with my mouth today.”
