When Beauty Destroys The BL World

Change

After asking the butler help to bring Nickolai back to his bed, Irene return to her courtyard.
Seeing how Irene hastily wanted to return to her chamber, Libby wondered if something had happened.

Finally in her room, Irene took a bath. Inside her spacious bathroom, Irene touches her numb lips as she shut her eyes.
Her mind wandered back to that moment with Nickolai.
Their kiss.
The sensation of it.
Feeling eachother throbbing heart.
The heat.
Such feelings is new to her. She almost drowned herself into that passionate moments.

Irene realises that she had been mesmerising to that moment, quickly dip her head in the bath water. To cool off her body and mind.
After she done bathing, she gets ready to to bed. Irene put away unnecessary thoughts from her mind. She had to steel her heart so as to not be easily swayed with such momentarily feelings.

Morning has arrived, Nickolai wake up from his hangover. When he tries to get up, he feels dizzy and headache.
He took a glass of water nearby to quench his thirst.
Just as he finished drinking, he began to recall what happened last night. All of it came to him.

That night he had kissed her.

How he refused to let her go and feeling her warm in such a tight embrace. All he want was to devour her whole. Before he lost consciousness, he remembered she kissed him. The way she handled him was so gentle and attentive. Like catering a baby.

Her touch.

And her kisses.

He seemed to taste bitterness from her mouth, and then everything went blank.

Nickolai called up his dark guard. The dark guard told him the details of the incident calmly. Without any detachment of emotions.

All the dark guards get ready if any danger may occured. But when such situation happens, they all immediately look away and withdraw themselves in a appropriate distance.

Having an awareness, they knew such intimate moments of their master needed to be private.

But at the same time, they stay alerted. Though, such situation as that was indeed awkward.

Nickolai upon receives the report, dismissed the dark guard.

Now, Nickolai tries to process everything in his room while he stirred the hangover soup that was brought to him by his butler.

He wasn't sure whether to thanked or punished Gulten for what happened last night.

That night, he needed something to numb his heart.
He had to admit he was hurt when Lucas make his decision, to leave.
Giving him no choice but to agree.
Nickolai felt the changes in him.
Lucas became so cold and distant.
All because of that....woman.
The woman who is now....his wife!
Such feeling is unpleasant and vexation.
He should have hated and loathed that woman when he see her.

But strangely enough, he didn't think that way when he saw her. He was completely drawn to her, like magnets. All he could think of was having her close...to touch, to hold and to feel her. He still remember the curve and the shape of her body.

This feeling...Why does he feel this way?

While he's thinking, he suddenly called upon his butler.

"Orto!"

"Yes, your highness." His butler named Orto answered.

"What is...the best way to compensate to a person?" Nickolai asked.

Meanwhile in her courtyard, Irene awake at the noise outside.

Irene walks outside, after wearing a robe to cover her sleeping attire.
