Chapter 98 - EPISODE 98 – CROSS (1) (1/2)
Inside Jude and Cordelia’s tent at night…
The lit candles diffused a faint light and warmth all over the place.
And in the middle of that place.
There was a beautiful girl in a white dress with rabbit ears on her head. She had a shy expression on her face as her lips quivered.
Although the candle’s faint light was very small and weak when compared to the night’s darkness, it brought out the girl’s captivating beauty like a ray of light in the darkness.
She had burning red cheeks, misty eyes, and lips that drew nice-looking curves whenever it quivered.
The girl hesitated for quite some time before she swallowed her saliva and her long white neck trembled a little.
She opened her lips and a nervous voice came out with her breath.
“M-my b-beloved Mr. Jude Bayer.”
The girl’s cheeks turned redder at her words that expressed love, and the surrounding area that was gently warmed by the candlelight also became hot.
“A-and…”
Sweat flowed along the girl’s smooth jawline, and the girl put her hands together and squeezed them, as if she was plucking up the courage to confess before she spoke.
“I-I…c-can’t live without J-Jude, Mr. Jude Bayer.”
Her words came out slightly stuttered before she bit her lips.
Her voice seemed to have a mixture of shyness and determination.
But it didn’t end there.
The girl took several deep breaths, mustered her courage and spoke again.
“I-I belong to Mr. Jude… Mr. Jude Bayer is mine… No! F*ck! Hey!”
That was it.
Cordelia threw the script she had in her hand onto the floor and then bellowed at the watching Jude.
“Hey! You evil b*stard! What’s with the script?!”
She could overlook ‘my beloved Mr. Jude Bayer.’
Yes, she could somehow understand the ‘I can’t live without Jude.’
Because its purpose was to protect Jude from Adelia.
But what about the next?
“Am I yours? Am I yours?”
It was just some words in the script, but it was difficult to say them.
How am I supposed to say this in front of others!
“Woah, woah. Relax, relax.”
“Wurf-wurf! Grrrrrr! Wurf!”
“No, what am I supposed to do when you’re cute even if you’re angry.”
“What?”
“No, anyway. It’s actually fair. You’re not one-sidedly saying that you are mine, you’re saying that I am yours too, right?”
The script’s contents were indeed fair.
When Jude spoke with a calm face, Cordelia hesitated for a moment, but she eventually wasn’t fooled.
“No! I don’t give a damn about fairness! What’s with that script?”
“Is there a problem?”
“Everything’s a problem from start to finish!”
“Ei, what are you talking about? Now, now, take a deep breath and think.”
“What am I supposed to think?”
“Think about the past. Do you remember when you first acted?”
“Roughly.”
“I remember it clearly. It was this line back then.”
Having said that, Jude cleared his throat once and then said in a feigned voice as if reciting a poem.
“I-I want to spend some time alone with Mr. Jude! We’ll be back before dinner, so just wait! Don’t worry about us!”
“Ah.”
It came across her mind again.
When they went on an outdoor date to get Solari’s Necklace from Leisegang.
‘I-It’s still okay.’
It was okay. She could endure it if it was this much.
But it was actually not over yet.
“After that, it was something like this.”
Jude cleared his throat and then said in a slightly more charming voice than before.
“I-I want to go with my beloved Mr. Jude Bayer. I-I don’t want to be separated from hi-him!”
“Ugeueu…”
Cordelia’s face turned red. No, it was not only her face as her neck and ears were red too.
But unfortunately, this wasn’t the end.
“I’m going on a honeymoon trip with my beloved Mr. Bayer. We’ll be back in a few days, so please don’t bother looking for us, okay?”
“Uwaaa….”
Cordelia unconsciously let out a crying sound from her mouth as she covered her face with both of her hands.
Her legs weakened and she even sank to her knees.
“And then I left a letter like this: I will further continue my honeymoon trip with Lady Cordelia, whom I dearly love more than my life. Please do not worry too much, because I’ve gotten healthier from eating the Sunflower. P.S. I am really happy now.”
“S-stop…”
“For your information, that was what you ordered me to do. You loved it so much.”
What he said was true.
She remembered that she eventually ordered Jude to do it once and that she really loved it.
Why did I do that?
Why did I do that on that day?
Cordelia who was squatting on the floor let out a troubled voice while Jude had such a pleasant look on his face. He then concluded his recap of the events with a happy smile.
“So, now that you’ve heard it, don’t you agree that the intensity has been growing stronger little by little? You could say that there’s progress in our relationship. Therefore, shouldn’t we go a little further this time?”
What he said was reasonable.
What he said made sense.
But!
But even if that is so!
“Aaaaaaah…”
She felt like she wanted to quickly stand up and hit Jude, but she didn’t have the energy to do that.
The current situation had been too stimulating for a girl who only had a lover in the games that she played for certain periods of time.
Thus, Jude approached Cordelia and gently said.
“Umm…anyway, wouldn’t this be enough to stop Adelia?”
What he said was true.
In the first place, the reason why they were rehearsing the script was to stop Adelia.
Adelia was Cordelia’s older sister. She was also an older sister who really cares about Cordelia, so if Cordelia extremely loved Jude, it was highly likely that she would concede even if she didn’t like it.
It was said that parents have a soft spot for their children.
‘In this case, it’s about an older sister and her younger sister.’
In any case, Jude waited for Cordelia to recover. After she had slightly recovered, Cordelia began hitting Jude in the back.
“Ugeu! Uu!”
“You should calm down and speak in human language first, okay?”
Perhaps this was a side effect of Beast Mode.
Jude half-jokingly said, and Cordelia pinched Jude before taking a deep breath.
She stood up from her spot and shouted.
“Okay, I’ll let everything go! I understand!”
To protect Jude from Adelia!
I’ll say stronger lines than before to show the progress of our relationship!
I’ll let everything go.
I somehow understand.
But why!
“W-why is Violent Avalanche here!”
As Cordelia pointed to the corner of the tent and shouted, the being involved – Violent Avalanche, was sitting in the corner and watching Jude and Cordelia’s skit. The wild god then nodded and said.
“That’s right. I also wanted to ask. Why are you showing me this? I have to admit that it’s cute though.”
Upon hearing the word ‘cute’, the cheeks of Cordelia who had just calmed down turned red again. On the other hand, Jude spoke with a calm face.
“Because she needs to be able to do it naturally in front of others.”
“No, I think you don’t need to practice about your relationship.”
Violent Avalanche had no idea of the true relationship between Jude and Cordelia, and their current practice had seriously made Violent Avalanche feel out of place. Apart from that, Violent Avalanche doubted the necessity of the practice itself.
‘Isn’t it obvious that they’re a crazy couple?’
