Chapter 11 - I Want to Die (2) (1/2)

“Ahh,” However, he seemed to have not listened at all. Instead, he eyed Leah’s body, which didn’t have even the slightest scar and licked his lips.

“Let’s do it one more time.”

She opened her mouth in astonishment. Unlike Leah, who was sore and aching all over, he showed no signs of fatigue. A sharp glint started reflecting in his eyes, which were dim just a moment ago.

Leah shook her head in disgust as she felt the familiar scorching heat rising in the chamber.

The man let out a deep chuckle. However, he still wrapped his arms around her delicate waist, trapping her for good. Unrelentless, Leah kicked and wriggled out from his grasp but suddenly stopped upon noticing something.

Her eyes studied his body. Last night, they had a hot exchange in the dark. Hence, she missed this queer detail.

The man’s body was clean, devoid of any tattoo.

All Kurkans that Leah had seen before were tattooed. Whether it was on their face, neck, and forearms, their skin bore large tattoos. This man, whom she recently shared intimacy, was the first Kurkan whose skin was clean of ink…

His golden eyes, domineering physique, and immeasurable strength—she was sure he was a member of the barbaric clan, but she could not understand why he was without a single mark.

The man, who noticed her looking at his body with her brows furrowed, hugged her closer.

“What are you curious about?”

Frowning, she looked up at his face, “You don’t have tattoos… Get a little farther so I can see.”

With her free arm, she pushed him away, but he remained close to her. To divert her attention, he left a trail of kisses on her cheeks and nose.

“Let us exchange information, one by one. If you answer my question, I will answer yours.”

Before Leah could agree, he threw out his first question.

“Why did you throw away your first experience overnight with an enemy?”

In the kingdom of Estia, the purity of the bride was paramount. This was an even more vital matter for the nobles as chastity could reflect the honor of the family. Hence, an impure bride could be legally divorced and, in worst cases, killed.

Not to mention Leah was a royal princess that would soon participate in an essential political marriage. If found impure, her honor would plummet to the ground, and so would her family’s.
