Chapter 68 Totally In Love
697words
I got up and went towards him. He was sleeping soundly. I cherished that moment because I felt like we might never be like this after ten days. Lict looked really pretty—Long, white eyelashes sinking down his pink skin and golden hair ends gently touching his neck. I leaned towards him and kissed his forehead. It was warm and soft.
Where do I get my answers? How should I save you? Then I realised—The twelve holy books of heavenly secrets! They hold all the knowledge of the universe—They must have Lict's cure! Maybe, maybe Wujin knew Lict would suffer through this and that's why he made these so that somebody else in the past could save Lict? Lict is lucky—All his masters are smart. I praised myself because I was smart and nobody was saying that to me so I did it for myself because I don't need anyone. I am a lady!
Lict slowly opened his eyes and looked at me, Oh, Milady you're up! You usually wake up near seven in the morning, it's just six.
I didn't sleep tonight.
Oh my demigod! I'll just go wash up and make you some tea.
Of course.
I have seen Lict bath—Don't assume that I'm a pervert because he bathes with his clothes on. All he does is stand in the garden with that wooden bucket, pour in some cold water from the tap, then he prays for a while and pours that entire bucket of water over him. He prays again and then goes to his room to change his clothes. Like—Who bathes with their clothes on? Lict is weird in so many ways, I will tell you how—Lict never eats with us, he eats after everyone else is done eating. I never see him sitting with someone, he is always working—Heaven knows when he gets tired or if he gets tired.
While I was engrossed in my thoughts, Lict came to me with a cup of chrysanthemum tea and toast. I ate and drank tea.
Did I smell some tea? Aleksei walked inside our room while Lord Akagi stood at the door with a black thermos bottle filled with hot water. Seriously, what's so good about boiled water that he is always drinking that!
Everyone is up early today, Lict said.
We're going to ski so we need to reach there early, Melissa was already in her ski gear.
You coming, Vierne? Lord Akagi asked.
No, I'll stay here today. I was sitting beside the fireplace—No way was I leaving that. Besides, I had little work to do.
I was hesitant to ask Lict for the books because I thought that he might not like it or maybe—Wait a minute, why do I care? I am his master and he will do as I say! Whether he likes it or he doesn't! To hell with him, my one order and he's bound to me!
Lict, I need the Twelve Holy books of Heavenly Secrets. You have them, right? Considering you are an elite star
I do, Milady, Lict answered. Wonderful.
But why do you need them? Aleksei said.
I want some answers I replied vaguely and looked at Lict. He sat on his haunches and drew a star on the floor. Suddenly, everything turned dark. Talk about a perfect rape scenario. Thank god I wasn't—Wait, I just realised, I'm surrounded by men! Holy moly, this can have severe consequences—I know if something happens, Melissa won't care because she's a slut but I am not! I am the daughter of a respectable earl!
