Chapter 64 (1/2)

Even though she was a woman, he momentarily staggered when she rushed into his arms with all her strength.

After all, he flopped onto the pink mat she was sitting on. She fell between his legs when he dropped to the ground.

He narrowed his eyes at that moment. He put his hands on her shoulders.

He could feel the fair skin of her soft and round shoulders. Her heart was pounding. To her surprise, he bit his lip.

She closed her eyes quickly the moment he put his hands on her shoulders. She thought he was going to push her off, but he stayed still while holding her shoulders.

“Your Majesty?”

She raised her head and dared to look up at him. Her pointed eyes tilted sadly to one side when she extended her hands in excitement.

“Will you hold me, Your Majesty?”

She put her hands on his hands. It was the first time they touched.

Was it because of his meek behavior? She grew optimistic.

She tilted her head and kissed his hand on her shoulders. It was the first time she put her lips on a stout man’s body, even though it was his fingers.

His fingers wiggled. While biting his lip, he opened his mouth and murmured inaudibly, “Why did you…”

“Pardon?”

He didn’t reply, though. Her body was quickly turned halfway. That cool silk mat touched her back. While holding her shoulders, he suddenly turned her body and laid her on the mat and leaned over her. With his dark eyes, he scanned her. Blushing, she turned her head. He tightened his hands on her shoulder.

“Oops…”

While examining her body with a dull look, he smiled with a short sigh.

“Just this…

He again said something she couldn’t understand. Kyoyoung felt like she might get annoyed. Unable to control her excitement, she extended her hand.

“Bipaan… Your Majesty!”

She dared to call him by his first name. She stared at him with provocative eyes, touching his coat string with her hand.

“Can you stop it?”

When she was trying to pull him down by his coat, he stopped it with his big hand. She felt his hand was warm a moment ago, but she was scared about it like hot fire now. She instinctively pulled her hand away. He raised his upper body. He looked down at her, fully naked. She felt ashamed of herself after realizing that she was naked before him for the first time.

“Let me ignore it as I think it was an accident.”

His low and soft voice turned into a heavy and stern tone.

As usual, his voice was as cold as ice.

He was done.

She could instinctively feel it. His mysterious visit, which she could never understand, and the golden opportunity that she could use to hold him, all turned out to be a fiasco for her. Her innocent illusion vanished all of a sudden.

‘What did I do?’

She took off her clothes on her own and jumped into his arms, which was definitely improper. Her act was not only improper but also lustful and reckless.

She was full of embarrassment and shame. She blushed. Her eyes welled with tears. He stood up, adjusted his dress then left out before tears came down from her eyes. He didn’t glance back at her. He closed the door with a bang, which was like a dagger stabbed in her heart.

Today, Kyosul went to the back garden of the outer palace. Whenever she went to the big tree on the hillside of the center of the garden, she could see him standing there all the time.

“I’m late again,” she said.

“You’re not late, Kyosul. I’ve got here early,” Ruhae replied with a smile. The formal greetings between them were gone long ago. There were only Ruhae’s soft smile and Kyosul’s bright laughter between them.

They folded their hands together gently.

And someone watching them secretly were pacing up and down behind the tree and quickly disappeared.
