“Why did you cry?”

“… … .”

“Are you going to stay silent again?”

he clicked his tongue. He rubbed her clitoris with his fingers as if scolding her. Elisha curled up and quivered.

“Ugh… … .”

“Hurry. You have to tell me.”

Lucerne began to move his fingers energetically. Elisha tried to avoid it, but he grabbed her round ass with the other hand and pulled her towards him so she couldn’t escape.

“Ah, no!”

Elisha tightened her vulva at the sensation of Lucerne gripping and releasing her clitoris with his thumb and forefinger. There were still remnants of the pleasure and afterglow that spread like fire all over her body… … .

So, Elisha reached a climax with that alone. Feeling shy and she wanted to hide.

“Quickly,”

Lucerne said with a sly smile.

“I’m just scared,”

Elisha said in a voice as tiny as an ant.

“What are you afraid of?”

Lucerne asked calmly in a soothing manner.

“Just… … . everything. Sleeping with you like this… … . I’m afraid I’ll become a fool. I’m afraid I’ll keep hoping and waiting… … . I’ve never been with another man like this.”

Elisha’s candid honesty evoked an unexpected effect on him. Lucerne stared at her. His eyes shook with a burning passion again.

“Can you just live like this?”

“… … what?”

“I want you. I want you to get used to my body, embracing me, wearing jewelry while living in a safe room like this. I will always protect you, free from death and danger. So, let’s just live like this. You don’t have to do anything from now on.”

“… … .”

“You don’t have to be excellent. I just want you,”

Lucerne asserted. It was a sentiment she had never heard before.

Masters, price, betrayal, belief: The ugly woman no one wants, Elisha.

Those long hours of falling into despair alone, trembling from the affection that kept him in her heart—trying to hide the love that would be ridiculed by everyone. Those times in my previous life that she dared to be miserable without knowing her place. The emotions of that time rushed down on Elisha like a downpour.

It was an awful and terribly lonely time, sincerely. It was such a wretched feeling that she would rather not live. She never wanted to revisit that despair again.

She knew very well that his ‘I want’ was not an affair of love. Even when a wild beast bit a deer, it wanted a deer. Rather, if something had sprouted in his heart, Elisha might be shaken, but… … .

It wasn’t. So Elisha shook her head.

“Lucerne… … . even if you want me. I do not know. Why?”

Elisha felt her lips open involuntarily. Lucerne’s gaze was still heavy with hot lust but there was still a coldness in him.

“Nothing has changed,”

Lucerne whispered languidly, his tone thick with sensualness.

“I want to have you, forever. Without end. Even if you try me, nothing will change in the future.”

Elisha felt her chest tingle. She didn’t even know why.

“You have me now.”

“It’s temporary,”

Lucerne stated, sweeping back her hair.

“Give up. There’s no way I’ll be the Head. At best make heirs like Merha.”

“Then there’s no harm done. It will work out the way you want it to.”

“… … .”

“Then like this… … . It ‘s done.”

Elisha stroked Lucerne’s cheek and kissed his lips.

Her previous life was a time lost. At one time she wanted his attention. Lucerne would soon forget who she was, but she could have devoted her life to the one thing she cared about.

But as a dead and resurrected woman, she didn’t want to feel such sentiments again. She was firm in this decision, even if he started wanting her. Like the trust that could not be created, love would never be conceived this time.

Perhaps it is. So… … . This time, tears will be meaningless.

“Stop crying,”

Lucerne comforted and caressed her. He soothingly whispered as if he were dealing with a precious child.

“I’ll buy you anything you want. I’ll do whatever you ask. So don’t cry when you’re mine.”

Elisha struggled to hold back the desire to dig into his arms.

“No… … . I’m fine.”

“… … .”

“Really.”

She thought Lucerne would be angry. But instead he just wiped the tears from her eyes.

“The heart and mind can change at any time,”

said Lucerne.

“If you live by my side, somehow, the heart will change too,”

Elisha bit her lips. Lucerne’s lips overlapped again. Her mind went blank.

“I won’t let you go.”

he whispered Elisha lost the strength of her hands and feet. Her mind was pounding with a thrill. But she wasn’t stupid enough not to know the root of possessiveness… … .

Throughout all history, it has always been the same. A man with power always wanted a woman’s heart.

But it didn’t mean that her heart would be returned.

A man with a lot of power forces a woman to have a heart for him… … . Then he would leave after becoming tired and weary of her. That was a predator’s rule.

It would have been different if she was still Elisha from her first life. She could have given everything to Lucerne if it had meant she could be in his possession. But not now.

There are things I know now that I didn’t know then.

Now Elisha knew. That the rules of predators hold no true substance.
