I Will Seduce The Northern Duke

s

Wary of his surroundings, he slowly turned his head with an ah look.

Kalcion wondered if turning his head would be enough, but it was too dangerous for Selina to be left alone. There may be the Crown Prince's assassin hiding somewhere, or she may be attacked by wild beasts instead of people. It was reassuring to have Kalcion by her side.

A little embarrassing and safe was a hundred times better than dangerous.

“Stay like that until I get in.”

“…I will.”

He answered with a dry voice.

Even though she never screamed, her throat was hoarse, and her words cracked slightly. Moistening her lips even after she finished speaking, Selina cautiously began to take off her clothes.

Looking out over her distant fields, Kalcion took a deep breath.

She gazed at him and laid down the shirt she had taken off before taking off the rest of her clothes. The petticoat she had worn to puff up her dress came down, and the shorts she wore beneath it also pooled at her feet.

Now, there was only the slip left on her body.

She took off her petticoat and underpants without difficulty but hesitated for a moment before taking off her slip. The fact that Kalcion was close by and the fact that it was outdoors without blockages in all directions became a psychological burden.

…Even though it was outside, should she just wear it and go in?

Still, there were no extra clothes to change into. It took too much time to put on and take it off and sleep with his bare body. It was a bed with Kalcion. She couldn't even do that.

It was a dark night, and if she went underwater, nothing would be seen anyway.

‘Since I’m washing anyway…’

As she boldly gathered her heart, she soon threw off her slip. Then, Selina, who took off her underwear and became completely naked, checked Kalcion’s dynamics.

Kalcion was still breathing as if he was dragging a heavy breath with his gaze in the distance.

“I’m going to go into the water.”

She rushed towards the water.

After measuring the temperature of the water, she entered slowly and without doing anything, Selina plunged in to cover herself.

“…Ack, cold!”

As soon as she entered the water, it was filled with water that was incomparable to what had brushed her fingertips. The heat that clung to her body was blown away. Instead, it was chillingly cold for her. Goosebumps grew as much as she felt the cold.

“Uhh, so cold!”

Selina rubbed her body with the palms of her hands, dispelling the cold energy.

Still, after a while, she was acclimated. Her heart, startled by her coldness, subsided and she began to enjoy the coolness. Even after washing her body, she was happy to feel the gentle waves, and she wandered around for a while and played. Then, she suddenly felt a gaze, and she stopped and looked back.

He was looking at her.

Astonished, she stiffened like a stone statue. Selina couldn't even cover herself and crouched down in the water.

As she froze, the still water flowed past her immobilized thigh.

Kalcion’s eyes were dazed. Like looking at the goddess in legend, an open look in his eyes as if he could offer up even his own heart. Upon recognizing it, Selina was overcome with emotions she could not describe. It was so different from the waves brushing her thighs.

His eyes made her feel like she was in a stormy sea.

“…Why did you look?”

When she managed to open her mouth and ask, Kalcion finally regained his mind and hurriedly turned his head.

“…Sorry."

Even in the dark, she could see his neck stiffen as he apologized in a hoarse voice.

“I want to see…”

“What?”

She thought that was the end, but his words continued.

“I wanted to see your body, so I couldn’t stand it.”

It was his answer to the question of why did he look. Meanwhile, Selina lost her words at the frank reply.

“Sorry.”

Kalcion apologized again as she kept quiet.

Oh, this pervert male… She should just tease him and move on, but those words kept getting stuck in her throat.

“Why did you want to see my body?”

In the end, her outburst was very far from the correct answer. Kalcion took a deep breath before opening his mouth.

“…I think it will be beautiful.”

“You’re not the kind of person who would look for pretty things.”

“Yes, but…”

He talked and perhaps his throat was burning, he gulped in the middle.

“…Because you are so beautiful that my eyes go blind without even realizing it.”

“….”

Selina knew he was not the kind of person who would learn to say this. At first, she really thought he went somewhere to get tutoring. However, as time passed, she gradually came to know that was the sincerity that she didn’t know.

If it was a performance, if it was his eloquence to please her, she could laugh it off. Her flattering compliments and purposeful seductions made her ears dry and worn out.

Nevertheless, she didn't want anything, even though she was sorry for what she wanted, she didn't know what to do in front of that hot innocent. Should she say thank you, but should she scold him for looking at her carelessly?

As she contemplated choosing her words, Kalcion turned his head towards Selina. Their eyes met, and her breath choked her jaw as the heat stabbed straight into her.

“Can I see it?”

“….”

“I want to see your body.”

She couldn't even hide her body because she was obsessed.

“…Why—”

All she could do was ask in a voice that seemed to fade soon like a candle in front of a storm. It was a stupid question, anyway.

“It won’t be mine any time soon.”

Kalcion's words stabbed her painfully. He, too, was assuming that Selina would return. She couldn't understand him as he refused to let go of his feelings even though he acknowledged their impending breakup.

“Then, you might remember more. Once you see it, you will never forget it.”

He also smiled lightly at the pointless joke.

“The more things to remember, the better.”

He wasn't trying to humiliate Selina, and he wasn't trying to judge her like a commodity, so his gaze wasn't unpleasant.

That was the look in his eyes that he really wanted her.

“Look.”

It wasn't just because she wanted Kalcion to see. Selina wanted to stay in his gaze a little longer. After receiving her permission, his eyes touched her a little more confidently.

A drop of water dangled from her hair and dripped down her cheek. Drops of water dripped from the tip of her chin onto her chest.

The droplets of water, which had stopped for a moment on her upper chest, started their descent again. It passed between the chest, followed the hollow belly, and gathered at the navel, then merged with other water droplets buried in the navel and slipped again.

The touch of the water droplets that flowed down her flat belly felt heavy as if it was drawn by pressing the fingertips on her skin.

It was because Kalcion's eyes were flowing with it.

The drop of water quickly disappeared as it touched the flowing water surface. His gaze also stopped there, and he came one step closer.

Another drop, a drop of water fell.

The gaze, which was one step closer, began again. Selina’s body felt warm, like the temperature of the water had risen, too.

Another drop… and another step.

Kalcion approached one step at a time. His eyes were so hot that she wanted to twist her body and hide. It was hot, like boiling water.

In the end, he broke through the current and stood in front of her.

Selina's face was flushed red enough to be clearly visible even in the moonlight. She lowered her head as she couldn't bear to look at Kalcion, who was facing her, and water droplets from her hair fell again on Selina's forehead.

Drip, drip.

He stretched out his hand.

Drops of water dripped onto her forehead on his fingertips, and he carefully ran his fingertips through her hair. Her wet hair slid like a snake in his hand.

“…Beautiful."

Selina's wet hair reflected the moonlight and glistened. Not only her hair but also her forehead, the bridge of her nose, her collarbone, and her shoulders sparkled wherever the moonlight hit them.

“I said I would pick a star, but the star has already landed on your body.”

She thought she had heard every compliment she could hear in the world. She would listen to any compliment casually, and she would pass it off with just one word, ‘thank you.’ However, every word from Kalcion's words was engraved in her heart.

The words circled in her head.

The word beautiful was rather heartwarming and precious.

“When I look at you, it feels like I am looking at another world.”

“Well, I’m from another world.”

Selina cracked a mumbled joke as she kept her head down, unable to stand the tickling vibes. Kalcion's lips drew a soft arc. His eyes, which were directed at Selina, also curled slightly.

“I told you at first, right? The more I look at it, the more I will like it… so I have to keep looking at it.”

It was a tip Selina gave him when she had Kalcion act as a lover. So much had happened since then that even in her mind, it was like a distant past. However, he remembered it without making a single mistake.

“You said I had to look a little crazy to fall in love, and people would believe it.”

Because when he fell in love with her, he did things he wouldn't want to do and showed a different side of his original self.

“Still, at one point, I realized I was really acting like I was crazy.”

Selina was startled and asked, ‘You were crazy?’

He thought of it like the feeling of being lifted up by the swing of the sword. Kalcion regarded it as an extension of pleasant excitement and excitement from challenges.

“I was really crazy.”

I still feel crazy.

“I was already crazy about you.”

What to do?

Selina curled up her lips and raised her head.

His eyes were burning with heat. She desperately wanted it to fade before the name was named in that heat.

“Suddenly, I thought. Could this be love?”

He was already in love.

He just couldn't connect the name of the emotion to love. There were times when it automatically continued at some point without anyone telling. The moment when the answer to everything was found at the same time…

Kalcion found the answer.

“I love you, right?”

“….”

She couldn't bear to deny it, and instead, tears fell.
