Chapter 162 - Short stories 5.2> (2/2)

After a while, they finally found a quiet corner under a large tree.

“Phew!”

The woman took off her mask and sighed. Her shiny black eyes looked beautiful under the night sky.

It was the empress of this kingdom, Sa Bina.

“I didn’t realize it would be like this.”

The man also took off his mask, revealing a gorgeous face.

His green eyes grinned. “I have to admit… I was shocked to see that too.”

It was Lucretius. If the young women saw him take his mask off, they would have screamed and swarmed him.

Lucretius said to his wife, “I didn’t know it would be this much of a gong show.”

Bina’s eyes widened.

“You mean you have never attended a masquerade before this?”

“No. I’m not interested in balls and the only events I ever attended were traditional ones. I had never experienced something like this.”

Bina wasn’t prepared for what she just heard. “Really…? That’s hard to believe.”

The man looked upset at his wife’s harsh judgment.

“What do you mean? It sounds like you think I was that kind of a man who liked to party.”

Bina said weakly, “No, it’s just that… You are so gorgeous that you would fit in well with any parties.”

Lucretius pointed at his own face and asked, “Are you judging me by my face? That’s not fair.”

“…”

“You are telling me that you think I would have had a wild playboy life just because I have a good-looking face.”

“Well, it’s sort of true though, isn’t it? You already had a wife before me, and you had many fiancés… Even now, there are countless women who would love to jump into your bed only if you let them.” When Bina whispered with a pout, Lucretius looked pleased. “So I’m not being unfair. I’m only telling the truth.”

Bina knew Lucretius very well. He was the type that liked to chase.

‘He is so weird.’

Just then, Lucretius reached out for her and held her face with both of his hands gently.

“Bina.”

“Yes.”

“I told you before, remember? No matter how many women want me, you are the only one for me.”

‘Corny comment attack again! Gyaa!’

Bina thought she was completely used to this, but obviously, she wasn’t. Perhaps it was because he was getting cornier as he got older… if that was possible.

As Bina trembled, Lucretius continued with a kiss on the back of her hand.

“My lovely little bird…”

Bina couldn’t take it anymore.

“S, stop!”

But he wouldn’t.

“My fragile little bird…”

Bina finally had it. She reached out to grab his face and kissed him.

“…”

“…”

Soon, they were kissing passionately.
