When Beauty Destroys The BL World

Compromise

Irene feel awkward as the maids gave her a bathed.
Even drying her hair and dressing her.
Libby who beside her approaches, then lean down to show her a crystal bottle.
"Your highness...this is the bottle scent gifted by the queen. She instructed me to deliver it to you. She said it will help you for the night." Libby happily told her.
Irene inspect the crystal bottle, aware that this is actually a drug to use towards the male lead.
In the novel, the Queen loved her niece like her own. Though she used the original villainess to strengthen her reign, Irene knew the Queen did truly care about the villainess.
Because when she wrote that letter asking for help, the Queen does so, without questioning her. It shows how the Queen always caters to the villainess needs and desire. Knowing the villainess has feeling with the male lead, the Queen also offered to help her in any way. Including drugging the male lead.
Irene looking at the crystal bottle for awhile before putting it away in the wooden chest.

Finally done, Libby and all the maids then left Irene alone in the room.
The room was grand and wide. Irene put down the wooden chest and took a sit on the couch whilst waiting for the male lead arrival.
A minutes later, Nickolai arrives in the room. Seeing him in a simple attire for the first time, Irene thought to herself, how the male lead appeared to be good looking in any clothes. She had to remind herself repeatedly, behind that charming looking face hide a sadistic and cruel personality of the male lead.
Not wanting the male lead notice her stare, Irene stand up and slightly bow down her head.
Nickolai ignoring her, took a sit on the wide and fluffy bed.
Irene then approached him.
"Your highness, I have received the Queen gift. It is a scented bottle. She told me that it will help me for tonight. It seems that the Queen still thinks that I harbor such feelings towards your highness to do such deeds." Irene handed him the wooden chest, with the scented bottle inside of it.
Nickolai open it and inspect the crystal bottle in his hand.
He cast a glance towards Irene.
"So you saying that you don't have such feelings towards me?" He questions, with a hint of ridiculed.
"I don't dare." She said.
Nickolai snickered. He then stand up as he approaches her.
"Don't dare or don't admit it?" Hearing such questions, Irene knew he was just testing her. So she just stay quiet.
"I would have believe you, if it wasn't for what happened in the ceremony today. You claim that you have changed. And you're no longer the spoiled and snobbish person that used such authority to suppressed others. For where I see it, you're still the same person who only know to crawl back to your aunt for help, to clean up the mess you made." Nickolai mocked her.
Irene feel like slapping the male lead face right now, but she could only endure her rage inside her heart.
"Forgive me, for I didn't inform you about my recent contact with the Queen. I was only taking a measure of precaution, if such situation to happened. I only wanted to protect my dignity and my family name. Be at guard if you want, your highness. However, none of that would happened if you hadn't conceded to the Marquis assertion. You knew his intention to humiliated me in front of everyone. We both signed a contract. That none of us will cause any harm to each other. And to live in harmony and peace within 1 year of this marriage." Irene stated.
Nickolai laughed sarcastically.
"I remember signing the contract. I will not harm you in anyway. But it didn't mention anything that I should help you, if trouble may comes to find you. Solve your own problem by yourself. Don't involve me in it." He retort back.
Irene couldn't argue for in the contract it didn't stated, that they should help eachother. To have such a loophole in the contract is indeed her mistake.
"Do what you must to protect yourself, I don't care. Have it your own way. You work for me, that means everything you do, say or plan has to be directly to me. If I catch you get in touch with the Queen behind my back again, our deals is off." He reminded her, with a threatening tone.

"Forgive me, your highness. It won't happened again." Irene could only comply. She can't afford to offend this male lead. One wrong move, she will ended up dead.
Nickolai sit back on the bed. Putting the scented bottle inside the wooden chest.
While sitting he watches Irene took a pillow and some blanket from the bed to the sofa. Indicating that she will sleep there.
Irene didn't notice his stare, adjusted the pillow on the sofa.
Nickolai watches her for awhile, taking in her curve and slim body. It giving such a soft and gentle glow on her.
Suddenly he called her name.
"Dacia."
It took Irene a sec, to turn to look at him.
"Come here." He said.
Irene was confused, but still obeys.
Standing in front of him, with such big distance.
Nickolai raises his brow seeing that.
"Come closer." He said again.
Irene only took a small step.
Feeling impatient, Nickolai hold her arm and pull her closer.
She almost scream in shocked.
Now her face are in inch closer to him. As she's in a kneels down position.

Irene's eyes widened as she looked at him.
"Wha...what are you doing?" She asks nervously.
Nickolai didn't say anything but look down at her plump white neck. He even notice a scars that barely visible on her neck. In such distance, he can even smell the fragrance on her body. A pleasant smell.
Before, he feels disgusted having woman near him especially her. Remembering how she once try to seduce him, wearing such expose clothes, her vulgar behaviour and even touching him, make him want to kill her right then. But now, strangely he didn't feel that way. She has the same appearance as his fiancée, yet her temperance are so much different. Even her presence feel appealing to him.
Having her near him and kissing...her, didn't seem to be a problem to him anymore. Nickolai found that interesting.
His hand reaches towards her neck. Irene subconsciously want to avoid it.
"Don't move!" But hearing his word, she didn't dare to move a muscle.

Irene is getting scared of the male lead behaviour. She could feel his warm breathe on her skin. She recalled in the plot, the male lead supposedly feels repulsive with the villainess. Even the thought of her breathing the same air as him, was irritating to the male lead.
But...after everything that happened!!
Him kissing her, and even touching her?! All of that is ooc, and not the same as it written in novel. This make her grew worry about what's ahead.

Nickolai then thought of something, as he lean down. Without a warning, he took a bite on her neck.

"Ah!" She screamed.

Irene tries to get away but Nickolai took a firm hold behind her neck, which make her couldn't move. Nickolai senses her trying to move away, purposely bites her neck harder.

"Argh!" She grunted in pain.

Irene had to forced herself to stay still. The feeling of his biting feel painful. She grew terrified that he might actually kill her, by ripping her vein. Her eyes is shut and her whole body is trembling. Irene breathing becomes chaotic and her heart beat faster. Her head are full with many questions.

Noticing she no longer tries to move, Nickolai stop biting. Feeling her small trembling body, her warm temperature and her obedience behaviour, he had the sense of pleasure in his heart.
Irene then feel a suction on her neck. Her head becomes blank. She couldn't help but feel weird and uncomfortable. Irene clenched both of her hand too tightly, that veins is shown.
A minute later, Nickolai pull away from her.
"This should do it." Seeing the obvious red and bite mark on her neck, he finally release her from his grasp.
"You may go now."
Irene trying to make sense the situation, realises what he's doing. He was leaving a mark on her, a hickey!!
"Wh....why would you..."
"It's a hassle." He answered before she could finish her sentence.
Irene look confused.
"It better to leave something to see, rather than to say anything." Nickolai explained.
Irene came to understand that he wanted to let others see that mark on her neck and mislead them to think that she and the male lead did consummate in their wedding night.
He should have just told her before doing that! She has other ways to prove that they did the deed without actually doing it!
Irene stand up and bring out a small bottle contain a red liquid that she kept in her sachet. She shows it to Nickolai.
"I have other ways to convince them that we did our wedding night. All I have to do is put a single drop of this liquid on the bed. And the maids will see this as an evidence to King and Queen." She said, as she put a drop of the red liquid on the bed. The bed sheet absorb the red liquid, leaving it stains.
Nickolai raises his brow seeing all of that.
"Well, considered that leaving a mark on you, will only prove their point." He said leisurely as he lies down on the bed and closes his eyes.
Seeing him being so nonchalant, Irene knew she had to put aside this matter. It's no use to even argue about this with him.
She then goes to clean up herself and get ready to go to sleep on the couch. Lying down, Irene force herself to sleep rather thinking about anything. Today had really drain all of her energy, so she needs to have rest for the next day.
Exhausted, Irene finally drifted to sleep.
Nickolai then open his eyes. He turn to Irene who is already fast asleep, with suspicion. But only for awhile, as he then returned back to sleep.
