The best way to get someone to hold on to you is to subtly let them know that you can give them what they want.
And due to Edgar’s reaction to being exposed to the moonlight just moments ago, Christine was convinced about what condition he was in and what he needed.
“Edgar, are you… a chimera in heat?”
“…”
Edgar didn’t know what kind of thought process Christine had gone through to think of him as a chimera in heat.
Everyone in the western hideout was a chimera, so she must have thought the same of him because his external characteristics were similar to them. And she must have noticed that he was in heat the moment he was touched by the moonlight.
As expected from an elite member of the Golden Horseshoe Guild, this woman had a good discernment.
But Edgar had no intention of obediently going along with her.
“I don’t want to answer personal questions that a young lady with such a fearless attitude asks.”
He made Christine stand up straight and then spoke as if warning her not to cross the line.
But Christine wasn’t so timid that she would step back in surprise with just one threat. Rather, she used an intimidating voice to say that he had touched her. Her large eyes were instantly filled with astonishment.
“I’m sorry. I was just… curious. Why did you do something so personal with me?”
“…”
“My heart fluttered because I thought you were aroused by me for a moment, but now I think you were just responding to your instincts.”
Christine lowered her gaze. Her long eyelashes trembled, half-covering her watery eyes. Even as she bit her lower lip like she was trying to hold back from crying out of frustration, her expression was perfect.
Edgar was speechless for a moment as the conversation went in an unexpected direction.
“You wanted to have s*x anyway. We did it, multiple times even.”
It was Christine who first tried to cross the line by asking personal questions, but for some reason, the more she spoke, the more he felt like trash.
He felt even more so because upon hearing his answer, she cried like an unfortunate heroine who was deeply shocked by the cold reality.
“… You’re right, Edgar. It doesn’t matter why you wanted to have s*x with me.”
“…”
“I said something unnecessary. I’m sorry. I said that because I’m eight years younger than you and it was my first time sleeping with anyone.”
She really hoped he would feel guilty for having touched a young woman for the first time.
It was the first time someone had troubled him in this way, so Edgar became distressed. What would be more bothersome than a woman crying out loud?
Edgar let out an answer mixed with a sigh when he saw Christine fumbling with a handkerchief.
“It’s true that I did something I normally wouldn’t because of my instincts. I’ve been able to control them quite well so far.”
“Are you saying that…”
Christine’s eyes lit up as she put the handkerchief back in her pocket.
“You mean it was a little hard for you to control your instincts because you were dealing with me?”
“How does your expression change so quickly?”
“Oh my… You… you’re attracted to me, even if slightly.”
“You were eight years younger than me and a virgin. I must have been immature.”
Edgar said, clearly sarcastically. But Christine only hit his forearm softly with her fist. Edgar wanted to take back the unnecessary words he had added.
“Enough of the useless conversation. Let’s go back.”
“Alright. But Edgar, doesn’t the heat cycle come and go periodically?”
“Didn’t you say alright three seconds ago?”
“I think it’s hard to soak your body in cold water like that every day. What if you catch a cold or something?”
Edgar looked at Christine, who was speaking in a seductive voice as if she hadn’t cried just now.
This woman didn’t really… show any fear. Christine was the first person to speak in a calm manner despite seeing his expressionless face.
“I could help you out of selfishness. Your body is burning up,” Christine whispered with a cunning smile.
There was a sudden gust of wind, revealing the slim neckline that had been hidden by her hair.
Edgar remembered kissing and sinking his teeth into that spot several times when they had s*x. Along with her flinching and moaning heatedly whenever his breath touched her.
“…”
“Edgar?”
“Wake up. I’m not sleeping with you anymore,” Edgar answered in a firm voice and strode ahead.
Christine thought to herself as she followed him walking only in the shade once again and avoiding the moonlight.
‘Is it because he grew up in the Black Forest that his aesthetic sense is less developed? It’s not easy not to be seduced by this appearance.’
Did that man know how many people have told her their top secrets and even business secrets just by making eye contact and smiling?
Christine wanted to pout, but she was in a position where she had to keep in contact with him, so she could no longer act irrationally.
In order to keep looking for an opportunity, she had to create a situation where she could continue to meet him. Just at the right moment, she thought of a good excuse.
