BXBX NOVEL Chapter 6
Rosenia read the original plot so she knew.
If she refuses Llewellyn here, he will die.
The massive amount of mana raging within Llewellyn will grind him to pieces…
‘It would be very gruesome.’
Soon, Rosenia felt goosebumps and couldn’t help but stand up and tremble.
Rosenia couldn’t believe a handsome man like Llewellyn was facing such a terrible death…
‘No, that cannot happen.’
‘However, it’s the female lead’s job to suppress his mana that’s going out of control.’
She was the younger sister of the wicked villain. For the most part, she felt that she should not get involved with the male lead…
“Rose…”
“…!”
As Rosenia was agonizing over what to do, there came a distressed voice from Llewellyn.
“Kiss me, Rose…If you don’t, I’ll die.”
The moment Rosenia saw his fascinating emerald eyes, she almost unconsciously fell for his words.
But Rosenia knew she had to be careful here. She might end up getting involved with the male lead!
Facing Llewellyn, Rosenia asked with a serious expression.
“Well, how are you exactly? Is it too much to bear?”
“…I think I’m going to die.”
Llewellyn dropped his head weakly. His cheek leaning against her shoulder was as hot as a fireball.
“Rose…Please, I need you. Save me…”
Llewellyn seemed to be in a much worse condition than she had thought. She was worried that the male lead will die if left like this.
‘It’s too early for the male lead to die.’
‘He should meet the female lead and fall in love at first sight to usher in the romance of the century!’
Perhaps because she was a fan of the original novel or maybe because this male lead was her favorite, she couldn’t let him die.
So, Rosenia had to decide right now..
‘…Gosh, I don’t know!’
‘Let’s just kiss!’
‘His condition hadn’t gotten serious yet, so a kiss should suffice.’
Rosenia thought it’d be nice if the female lead suddenly appeared here, but that was very unlikely.
‘There’s no time to try to look for the female lead now.’
So, Rosenia plans to help him first, then find the female lead and they’ll go their separate ways.
‘I can’t just watch a person die in front of me, can I?’
Reminding herself that she was not doing this out of self interest.
‘I-it’s just a kiss!’
Rosenia clasped Llewellyn’s cheeks with both hands. Maybe because her behavior was unexpected, he looked at her with his eyes wide open. With a serious look on her face, she spoke.
“Uh, for now, let’s just kiss. “
“Starting with a kiss, saying it so casually.”
“What? It’s just a kiss.”
“Good. My first kiss.”
“…?”
Although Rosenia felt like there was a language barrier due to him being out of his mind from the high fever, she decided to go through with it.
Rosenia slowly drew her head closer to narrow the distance between them. It was not long before their lips met…but there was a big problem. Simply…
‘…I don’t know how to kiss.’
That’s right. In her previous life, she had never been in a relationship because she was always studying, and in her current life because of Adrian’s overprotection.
She couldn’t have known how to kiss.
‘How the hell do you kiss? Should I just do it like in the romance novels?’
With her lips folded, Rosenia was at a loss on what to do while Llewellyn’s big hand gently wrapped around her back. Soon, her lips naturally opened with a moist feeling. Llewellyn lightly grabbed her by the chin and pulled her down.
A heated breath poured in through the open crevice, and Rosenia reflexively stiffened.
Stiff with tension, he gently swept down her back. Her hands on his shoulder trembled as she felt her heart beating wildly.
Every nerve in her body was agitated by the unfamiliar sensation of a smooth and soft flesh searching through her mouth as her body heated up. Wriggling like a little herbivore while stuck in his firm arms, Llewellyn, with a grinning smile, laid her down slowly on the bed.
Lying under him, Rosenia looked up at Llewellyn with her eyes wide open. He was smiling brightly to the point where she wondered if he was really sick.
Gasping for air, Rosenia asked.
“This, do you really have to do it like this…?”
“Yes, of course.”
With a smile on his face, Llewellyn locked his arms around her and placed his lips on hers once again.
It all happened before Rosenia could even ask what ‘yes’ implied. Not only did Llewellyn search her mouth like before, he even licked or bit her lips as if he was savoring it.
Rosenia shuddered every time Llewellyn bit her lips. She had a strange feeling that he was observing her right now…
‘This guy, are you sure you’re suffering from mana poisoning? Actually, aren’t you fine?’
‘No, never. The honest and upright Duke of Rasiane wouldn’t commit such fraud, would he…?”
Moreover, when Rosenia saw Llewellyn’s innocent and beautiful face, it didn’t look like the face of a swindler. So she was certain her suspicion was unfounded.
The kiss went on for quite a while, and Rosenia felt his mana flowing into her.
A sorcerer is a person who has the constitution to accept and release mana from nature or others. Rosenia kept quiet while Llewellyn kissed her to his heart’s content, naturally accepting his mana, which had flowed into her.
In the first place, the kiss was not meant to be romantic, but to calm the raging mana, so Rosenia thought Llewellyn would stop when it calmed down moderately.
‘…But why don’t I see any signs of him stopping?’
Her swollen lips had become more sensitive than ever and she couldn’t endure it any longer.
Llewellyn kissed her very thoughtfully, but she couldn’t get away from him at all.
Rosenia had no idea how long he planned on kissing her. She thought his mana had already calmed down a long time ago.
“Excuse me, Duke?”
“Yes, Rose.”
“That’s enough…eh.”
Llewellyn slightly bit her lower lip as soon as she told him to stop. It didn’t hurt, but it stimulated her, so she flinched.
In fact, her body’s heat, which started to heat up a while ago, was gradually reaching its limits. So she really wanted to stop. At this rate…
‘My purity is in danger…! You stupid Duke!’
In fact, she is more of an impulsive person than a cautious one, so she might really lose her reason and get swallowed by the male lead.
‘But that cannot happen. What about the beautiful female lead? The damn female lead, she’s doing this to me!’
Rosenia pushed Llewellyn’s shoulder with one hand, and slapped him in the chest with the other. At the clear refusal, he slowly lowered his lips.
‘This…He looked quite hurt.’
‘Ah, no, this…why is he the one that’s hurt!?’
“Rose…”
“…”
Llewellyn looked down at her as if he was going to burst into tears. Taken aback, like a soft hearted fool, she kept thinking about whether she should comfort him or not.
His mana had calmed down a long time ago anyway, so there was no need to do this anymore.
“Excuse me, Duke. That’s enough…”
“Let’s continue, please.”
Llewellyn pleaded, looking down at her from a distance as close as one’s breath.
The flushed eyes and red sulky lips were deadly. To the point where her racing heart stopped.
Indeed…it was a man who drove people crazy in many ways.
‘I can’t touch another person’s man.’
Rosenia firmly pushed him away, bearing in mind her new creed.
‘Perhaps because of the mana poisoning he’s still out of his mind and is impulsive because of the fever.’
‘We’ll both regret it immensely if he meets the female lead who he’s really supposed to fall in love with.’
It was heartbreaking for her to turn down on a man who was desperately pleading, but she spoke firmly in a cold voice.
“This kind of relationship is not right.”
“Why isn’t it right?”
“That…”
Rosenia racked her brain searching for a suitable answer while her mouth was agape. Llewellyn was looking down at her with strangely sane eyes.
“…This kind of relationship, it’s too impulsive.”
“Impulsive…”
Llewellyn grabbed a handful of her rosy hair in his hand and disheveled it.
The act, his expression, his reciting voice, was strangely low in temperature, and somehow she felt uneasy.
‘…This guy, is he really out of his mind?’
“Did I stimulate your impulse? Rose?”
“…?”
Rosenia blinked blankly at the sudden question.
‘Somehow the conversation is a little…’
She grimaced, then answered with a frown.
“Stimulation, I think you did…”
“Is that so?”
“…Yes.”
When he heard her answer, he smiled broadly. It was that face again. A face that looks extremely happy.
Rosenia was so confused because she couldn’t figure out why this man was so happy.
“Okay, just kissing today.”
Mumbling to himself, he stepped back from her stomach.
‘What does he mean by just kissing today?’
Rosenia was about to get up in a perplexed and uncomfortable mood, but Llewellyn grabbed around her shoulder and helped her up.
“Ah, thanks…”
Reflexively expressing her gratitude, she looked up at him to see him smiling with his eyes. It was a seductive smile.
‘Crazy…’
Rosenia pressed her chest hard to calm down her fluttering heart.
‘Llewellyn Rasiane, forbidden fruit.’
‘There must be a truck load of noble ladies already bewitched by him. Such pitiful people…!’
‘I’m going to be bewitched at this rate. Let’s quickly escape!’
“W-Well, you go to sleep now! I’ll leave now!”
Said Rosenia, hurrying out of bed. Llewellyn helplessly put his hands down as he stared at her. Somehow the sight looked pitiful, so she quickly added,
“G-go on, lie down under the blankets. You were in the rain, so you should get some rest.”
For fear of touching him again, Rosenia used magic to force him to lie down as she covered him with the blanket. It was rather rude, but she had no choice. Llewellyn stared at her with round eyes. He had a blank face like that of a child.
‘Why is your face so innocent even though you just kissed me like that?’
Rosenia felt a little uneasy, but with that look on his face, she thought he, who is much bigger than her, looked harmless right now.
‘I must have gone crazy.’
“Well, good night!”
Afraid of her pounding heart being discovered, she turned around while shouting and ran out of the bedroom as if escaping.
Thud, Rosenia closed the bedroom door, then leaned against the door and briefly caught her breath.
Her pounding heart was beating much clearer than before. Her pulse was so vivid that she could feel it running up the nape of her neck.
‘Crazy, really…’
Rosenia couldn’t believe that she kissed the male lead!
Not only that but it was her first kiss. Past and present life, her very first kiss!
‘So my first kiss turned out like this…the male lead is such a wicked man.’
‘But it was just a kiss…let’s not get more involved. Still, let’s take good care of him and then send him back.’
‘I’m sure Adrian will go crazy if he finds out…’
Rosenia quickly went to the living room and found the familiar. The familiar was laying by the fire with its belly up. Approaching it, she made a mana ball and handed it over as she asked.
“You didn’t tell Adrian anything, did you?”
“Woof!”
The familiar barked once and ate the mana ball. That’s to say it didn’t. With a sigh of relief, she sat in an armchair and sank droopingly.
‘Once it stops raining, I’m going to go buy some clothes for Llewellyn.’
Rosenia couldn’t have him wear the same tunic over and over…
‘I wish there was a servant to serve me at times like this…Ah, no, I’m glad there aren’t any servants left at the villa.’
Rosenia had bribed the familiar, but it would have been hard to bribe a servant.
If the servants had remained in the villa, by now, what had happened to Llewellyn would have reached Adrian and her father’s ears!
‘I can’t get caught.’
The words from her dreams echoed, ‘In case of an accident, 10 years in captivity.’
‘To spend 10 years in the Mage Tower! Terrible!’
‘I must hide Llewellyn and send him back!’
Unexpectedly, all this trouble happened because she found the male lead. She was dumbfounded.
‘Why the hell were you lying in our villa’s garden? It’s not possible no matter how much I think about it.’
Rosenia wanted to ask him once he woke up and came back to his senses. She thought maybe something had happened.
With a deep sigh, Rosenia unconsciously fiddled with her lips. Then, she paused when she felt the heat that permeated to her fingertips.
Maybe it’s because her lips had been through a lot, it was swollen and hotter than anywhere else.
Rosenia kept recalling the incident. The feeling when they kissed…
