CHAPTER 3 – The Most Obscene Banquet in the World – (Part 10)
Lillian gazed at Cedric with unfamiliar eyes.
“How can you speak such lascivious words, Sir Edelgard, how can you…….”
“What did I say?”
Cedric, who was busily adjusting her dress, lifted his gaze briefly. His shamelessly indifferent face stared at her.
“You just said something about me being too…… tight, or too…… tight.”
“I don’t remember.”
With a single sentence, Cedric succinctly summarized the situation, turning his head nonchalantly.
However, judging by the way his ears perked up, he clearly remembered.
‘Goodness, a handsome man being cute as well?’
Lillian, caught off guard, couldn’t help but feel her heart soften.
“Blood.”
In an instant, Cedric, who had been adjusting her clothes, murmured as he examined her clothes.
“Lillian. There’s blood here…….”
As he pointed, there was a slight red stain on the edge of his white skirt where her b*ttocks had touched. Cedric, who was blaming himself with a face as if the world had collapsed, asked.
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Yes, I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt so much now.”
“But…….”
His complexion turned pale. Suddenly, he looked ten years older and haggard. Hesitantly, Cedric sat down next to her and lifted the hem of her dress.
“Let’s have a look.”
“Absolutely not!”
Seeing her horrified reaction, Cedric, who had been rejected several times because of her fear, couldn’t insist any further.
He regretted it belatedly. He hadn’t originally intended to handle such matters in a place like this.
His plan had been to ask Lillian out. They would date, confirm their affection, get engaged if the proposal was accepted, and then maybe two years later they would have a wedding and make love on the first night in a romantic setting. But…….
Water has already spilled.
Feeling apologetic, Cedric couldn’t bear it any longer and stood up.
“Can I have a moment alone?”
“Of course.”
“It won’t take long.”
Leaving short kisses all over the cute face that nodded weakly, Cedric picked up his mask and left the balcony.
Coincidentally, the third round started in the banquet hall.
Lillian got up, her a$s squirming. She tried her best not to let a single drop of his s*men spill, but the space between her legs was already damp.
‘No, not my Marianne……!’
She was glad he’d gotten out of the way, because she wanted to go home already.

“I’ve brought you some warm water, but first this…….”
With the help of a servant, Cedric brought a basin of water and a towel but froze upon seeing the empty space.
She was gone.
Lillian, who had been sitting here just a moment ago, disappeared as if she had vanished into thin air.
Thump. His heart sank.
He double-checked if he might be in a different balcony but this was the right one. The faint lingering scent of her was evidence enough.
‘Why isn’t Lillian here?’
Something inside him felt like it was shattering.
Cedric opened the curtains and thoroughly searched the first-floor banquet hall. It was still crowded, but he was confident he could recognize Lillian at a glance, even with her mask.
Yet, she was nowhere to be seen on the first floor. Slamming the curtains shut, Cedric dashed into the corridor and opened all the balcony rooms one by one.
“Ahh!”
“What are you doing! Get out right now!”
Despite all the nasty things he saw, Cedric had only one thing on his mind: to find Lillian. He checked every balcony room, but she was still nowhere to be found.
‘Surely she hadn’t been suddenly dragged away by some creep, right?’
Of course, that was unlikely. Nevertheless, with an anxious heart, Cedric grew impatient and summoned the servant who guarded the hallway.
“Did you see a lady who was here just now?”
“Which lady are you referring to?”
“She’s about my chest height, with a slender figure…”
Cedric rubbed his temples roughly. He hated this situation, having to describe her to a stranger.
“Well, you’re all wearing masks, so I don’t know…”
Even if he knew her, it wouldn’t help.
The servant responded with an ambiguous smile. In this place, answering questions about finding someone was against the unwritten rules.
As the servant bowed politely and disappeared, Cedric finally felt the reality sinking in. This was the most obsc*ne masquerade in the world.
He couldn’t find her like this.
Then, where and how could he find her?
Cedric’s stomach burned and he felt like he was going to lose his mind. Apparently, she was having trouble getting around so…….
“…Where on earth…”
Worried about feeling uncomfortable, he had brought a towel and warm water to freshen up.
But how could she disappear in just that short moment!
Left alone, Cedric searched for the warmth that had evaporated without a trace.
