She had never seen a man in a bright place except now. She saw him like an illusion in the forest, his face was dark and extremely cold because it was engulfed by the shade of trees.
‘It will only remain as a dream. There’s no way he is going to treat me like that.’
Helen glanced at his face while thinking so.
He looked like an aggressively handsome man due to the corner of his mouth that raised beautifully, his eyes which were bent upward, his wide shoulders as well as his solid body.
He deserved to be called that because he put a blade on her neck on their first meeting.
When she looked up slightly, she met his gaze. Then the man bent his eyes upward and gave a pleasant smile.
Badump badump.
She took a deep breath when her heart rate increased rapidly.
‘What’s wrong with me…?’
She felt as if her eyes were rolling around in embarrassment. She couldn’t look at his eyes, making it difficult to interact with him like they usually did.
She wanted to say a lot of things…!
“Aren’t you going to look at me?”
“Oh….”
“You don’t want to?”
When he asked that, his voice was full of mischief.
She wanted to ask why he smelled similar to the Emperor, they have similar writing styles, even the tone of their voice were so similar.
How he got rid of the curse, why he was in the Emperor’s room if the curse had been removed, and moreover, why the Emperor called him to this place rather than interrogating him.
And, was it him whom she ran into on the day when she was in the forest?
She wanted to ask him about many things but first, she needed time to catch her shallow breath.
In the place where she could escape from his gaze and wouldn’t fall for his gaze at the same time.
“Just stay like this for a little more.”
Helen buried herself into the man’s arms and wrapped her hand around his waist to hug him tightly.
His body was stiffened at the firm hands, as if it was begging him to not run away from her.
“Huh…?”
Helen smiled and laughed slightly upon hearing the stunned voice of the man that she had never heard before.
