Chapter 11 – “Cold Heart Pt. 2”

Of course, it’s not like she was expecting it to be easy to love each other again as if nothing had happened.

She was worried.?She could taste depression. Even when she was in Japan, she was already worried that Lukrov might already have a wife and a child.

Well .. she should have been prepared, but after seeing Lukrov’s cold eyes in front of her and given her a word that seemed to be a rejection, Chizuru was plunged into darkness.

「I’m..sorry」

It’s not about apologizing once or twice.?Of course, she knows that.

But now Chizuru couldn’t find any other words to say.

Even before Chizuru’s apology, Lukrov still looks at his former lover from a different world without moving his eyebrows. The only sound that resonated between the two of them was the crackling sound and the sparks ignited by the bonfire.

She finally came back.

They’re alone at the distance that seems to be within reach, but even though they faced each other around the same fire, can’t it be restored back? That sort of uneasiness was swirling inside Chizuru.

The silence seemed to last forever, but after a while, Lukrov breaks the branch near him and tossed it into the firewood while slowly opened up his mouth.

「You....haven’t changed」

He muttered. Chizuru blinked several times because she couldn’t tell whether he was talking to her for a moment or if she had just heard Lukrov’s monologue. She felt that Lukrov’s expression has softened just a little.

「Your skin, your face, your body, it’s no different when we got separated 14 years ago」

Chizuru quickly nodded at Lukrov, who added something like an exposition.

「Over there....In my world, It’s been only a year and two months since then. That’s why I think it looks like that. I think my hair grows a little」

「A year and two months」

「Yeah....but, Lukrov hasn’t changed either」

Lukrov once again tossed the dead branches into the fire, he turned his head from side to side and denied it.

「No, I’ve changed. I’ve changed more than you can imagine. There are no more heroes 14 years ago」

It was a firm way of saying there was no chance for her to object. But Chizuru, on the other hand, was relieved by his nostalgic way of speaking... because he always speaks so stubbornly.

「I am....not here looking for a hero」

When Chizuru murmured, Lukrov raised his eyebrows slightly.

「Then, who?」

「You」

「Me?」

「That’s right... But, perhaps... Are you married? 」

As if symbolizing Chizuru’s anxiety, from beyond the darkness came a sharp roar resembling the howling of wolves. The night sky is so clear and far away, but there is a depth where if you are off your guard, you’ll be completely sucked in. Yes, Chizuru has already come to a world that is completely different from the modern Japan.

『It is time』, as Lukrov himself said, I don’t know how to go home now.

If Lukrov is already married, or if there’s other woman he likes, it may happen without purpose. Because he don’t have a solid mission like the last time. If she remember correctly, she feels like she have heard a 『voice』 saying 「Save him」

「Married?」

With an overwhelming disgust in his eyes, Lukrov bluntly repeated Chizuru’s words.. 「Me? With whom?」

「Well, with someone. If it’s been 14 years, surely you have met with someone I don’t know」

What more can he say after this? The thought seemed to crush her heart, but it was even harder to voice it out. To stop Chizuru from becoming muddy, Lukrov shakes his head once more.

「I’m not married, I don’t intend to」

When surprised Chizuru raised her face ─ Lukrov, with a more serious face was staring at her.

Chizuru was suddenly nervous, feeling deceived she remained silent and turned her eyes into the flames burning between the two of them.?You may think that he’s not married is a good news. However, the phrase ‘I don’t intend to’ is not about loving other woman, but it felt like he was insinuating that he doesn’t love Chizuru anymore....

The sparks of the fire dancing in the air hurt her eyes.

「You? How many men have you succeeded in seducing during that year and two months?」

「Eh....」

「How many men have you embraced? How many men have touched your lips?」

Lukrov’s tone was suddenly indifferent when he started asking the questions, but under the cold expression was overflowing with hot passion. Chizuru shook her head in a haste and stepped back a litte to escape from the overwhelming tension.

「N─Nobody..」

As soon as Lukrov stood up with a violent pace, he stood in front of Chizuru, stepping across the blazing fire.

「Lu─Lukrov....」

「Answer me!」

「Really, nobody... Ahn~」

Chizuru’s cry was suddenly swallowed by Lukrov’s body. When she was pushed down to the ground, her head were held tightly by Lukrov. Right before she could even blink her eyes, her lips were devoured greedily. The primitive kiss was followed for a few more seconds, and when Lukrov finally lifted his lips, both of them were out of breath.

「Answer me....Who touched you」

Lukrov’s voice seemed to tremble with anger. He grabbed her face with his large hands, and Chizuru’s throat felt so dry she can’t speak well.

「No one..No one touched me. Really.. Kyaaa!」

In a speed of lightning, her white and green medieval dress she had worn was ripped off on her chest area, he quickly drew his mouth and fiercely nibbled on her white skin, leaving a mark. His lips that emits a rough breath was crawling on her chest greedily. Chizuru’s body trembled from top to toe.

「W─Wait, Lukrov...Ahhh~」

Chizuru’s vision turned pure white as he sucked hard on her breast. Without even listening, Lukrov’s tongue caressed her skilfully and her back arched as Chizuru’s voice became more louder. But, of course, he wasn’t satisfied with just that.

「Was there a man who touched this breasts?」

「Ahh!」

Chizuru shrieked as his fingers are teasingly rubbing her other nipple.?If she don’t answer him quickly, Lukrov will surely do something much further.?However, Chizuru wasn’t able to talk properly due to his intense loving, and Lukrov, who can’t get an answer will continue cornering Chizuru.

「Was there a man who touched this breasts!」

Lukrov yelled between his rough breaths. Chizuru shouted back in tears.

「No! No one, except you....Nobody!」

Suddenly, Lukrov’s accusations about her chest stopped.

With a rough breath, he covers up Chizuru and stares into her eyes.?Chizuru was breathing as heavily as Lukrov.

「Then..here?」

This time his tone was slightly softer, but, that’s just because it’s unrelated to kindness.

「..!」

Lukrov inserted his fingers into Chizuru’s crotch. For Chizuru, this is her first time since a year and two months ago. But for Lukrov, despite his first time in 14 years, his hand seemed to remember exactly everything. He quickly found Chizuru’s sensitive part in the blink of an eye and strokes it gently.

「Have you been touched here?」

For a moment, it crossed Chizuru’s mind of what would happen if she were to answer 「Yes」.?The country’s best knight can also occasionally be the country’s best demon.?Surely someone will see the blood.

「Nn..Nhnn..」

「Here.. Did you let someone touch you..」

His caresses were relentless, and it seemed as if he was deliberately trying to delay it in fear of hearing the answer from Chizuru. Her cum begins to wet her genitals, and the sound of her moans were overflowing.

「No one.. Nobody.. There’s no one, Lukrov..」

In response to Chizuru’s appeal, Lukrov gazed into his lover’s captivating appearance, and finally slow down only to urge her again with the answer.

「Nobody, No one. Only you..You’re the only one, so believe me.」

Hah~ Hah~ between her interval breathing, Chizuru touched Lukrov’s cheek with her trembling hands and said,?「I came back because I like you. I love you..」

Chizuru’s confession didn’t get a return from Lukrov.

Or perhaps, that was the answer. Still, they embraced each other’s body under the starry sky that night ─ twice.

Chizuru realized again what kind of man Lukrov was.?He can be an incredibly gentle lover or a formidable knight who makes you shudder just by getting near him.

He doesn’t allow betrayal and doesn’t share a woman he loves with someone.

He wouldn’t forgive others so easily, and,

Let alone, a former lover who betrayed him once.. especially.
