Well, she thought it would be a little embarrassing to say he was in heat with his own mouth. So, Christine decided to change her strategy.
“People are usually curious about what they’re interested in. I’m interested in you right now. Didn’t you notice?”
“Not at all.”
“Oh my, I guess you didn’t know. I thought you’d expect that because of how well you did.”
“…”
“So… Does your body keep getting hot like that?”
Edgar stared at Christine as she chattered in a bright voice. Regardless of age and gender, people usually kept their mouths shut and looked down when they stood in front of him.
But the woman continued talking and looking at him. Whenever she looked at him with a sly look and smiled, Edgar felt like he was about to burst out laughing at the unfamiliarity of this situation.
“Are you trying to figure out if my body keeps doing it and how to use it?”
“Well, if it continues to happen, I thought I’d hover around you and wait for an opportunity. I can’t go back to the village anyway… And who knows? You might attack me again.”
“…”
“Oh my, I don’t know.”
Christine wrapped her hands around her cheeks, which weren’t even that hot, to cool them down. She blurted those words as if she was embarrassed.
“What the hell do you not know after saying all that?”
Edgar spat out in a completely unfazed voice.
Christine received new information that her special move, ‘Christine doesn’t know anything’, didn’t work well on him. Nevertheless, she spoke in a firmly relaxed and sweet voice.
“You changed me overnight. I used to be a well-behaved woman who didn’t know anything, but now I’m just trying to spend time with you again.”
“…”
“You don’t seem to be impressed by the night we shared, but that doesn’t mean I’m not.”
Instead of giving an immediate answer this time, Edgar stared at Christine’s face. Her face turned slightly reddened as if she didn’t know she was going to say this, and her eyes avoided his gaze.
With her soft, soothing voice, Christine sparkled with confidence that she could enchant anyone.
In fact, she had a striking appearance, so it couldn’t be said that it was a baseless confidence.
It seemed that no matter who faced her, especially a man, they would not be able to think they were being deluded and that she had other intentions.
But the truth is, Edgar knew that she belonged to the Golden Horseshoe Guild.
Even though they weren’t close enough to talk for a long time, Edgar had seen her pass by, and she stayed in his mind for a few days.
That was why even last night, he was subdued by the intruder first and spoke with her, which was uncharacteristic of him. Then, this woman started flirting with him out of nowhere, and things went in an unexpected direction.
He failed to overcome the symptoms of arousal, which he had been able to suppress somehow until now, and lost his reason to the momentary impulse.
“…”
Of course, he held on for a long time to say that he gave himself to instinct on a whim. He had been holding back this damn thing for years, so he couldn’t control himself once he let go of the reins.
Anyway, even though the Golden Horseshoe Guild was a small guild made up of insignificant people, he couldn’t just let one of its members approach him.
It would take a little more time to find out why Christine was trying to charm him by pretending to be an ignorant young lady.
And in the meantime, Edgar had no intention of being seduced by Christine.
“Just think about me.”
Edgar stood up and approached her.
Christine, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly looked at him and swallowed dry. She had felt it yesterday too, but Edgar’s body was quite sturdy, and he felt quite intimidating as he got closer.
Surely this man with monstrous stamina wasn’t going to do it again in the morning after doing it yesterday, right?
Just as Christine thought so, Edgar placed his knee next to her legs and climbed onto the bed. Her body instantly leaned towards the headboard.
She seemed a little surprised. Edgar placed his hand on Christine’s chin and lifted it upwards. Then, he leaned down deeply and got closer and closer to her lips.
Christine tilted her face up to respond to his kiss, then her eyes flinched. It was because of the pain she felt in the center of her body.
Edgar pursed his lips as if he expected that.
“I don’t know what you mean when you say to just think about you, young lady, but let’s restrain ourselves for the time being, shall we?
“…”
“I’ll see if there’s a suitable job for you in the guild so you can stay for some time, so don’t think anything unnecessary.”
“Oh my, really?”
“I’m not a bastard who touches a woman a few years younger and kicks her out when she isn’t even able to move properly.”
Edgar looked at her once more, meaning that she should not do anything useless during her stay, and then got up.
As he left the room, the man leaning against the wall approached him as if he had been waiting and asked, “Edgar, is that woman really that woman?”
When asked by his long-time adjutant Decius, Edgar recalled the moment he first encountered Christine.
