“The idea that women can’t forget or will miss men who left is just men’s delusion. Of course, my mother lived unable to forget the baron, but that’s a very unusual case.”

Liana spoke passionately.

‘Then she’ll forget me too……’

While listening to her words, Dain felt pain like his chest was being carved out with a knife. He would have to send Liana away soon once the medicine was developed, and if she would immediately forget him, he felt like he would be disappointed somehow.

Of course, when he sent her away from the ducal castle, he planned to provide enough so she could live without financial difficulties for life.

‘If I give her an island, she could live well without working hard.’

Unlike her fragile appearance, Liana had a strong character. So she would live well and courageously.

‘Is an island not enough? Should I give her a mine too?’

He wondered what to give her so she wouldn’t forget him.

But I can’t cry and cling asking her to remember me for life. Dain’s expression became troubled.

“Why aren’t you eating? Do you have no appetite?”

Liana asked with a puzzled expression to him who was lost in thought.

“Huh? No. I have something to think about.”

“You’re thinking about work even after coming here? During vacation, you should just enjoy.”

“Just enjoy?”

Dain’s eyebrow rose slightly.

Come to think of it, there were many things he was hearing from her for the first time. The more he saw her, the more fascinating she was.

“Ah— try this.”

“……?”

When he looked up, Liana’s hand holding peeled grilled shrimp was in front of his eyes.

“Quickly. Ah—.”

Dain glanced at the restaurant staff waiting in the VIP room to serve them, then opened his mouth.

The savory grilled shrimp entered. No one had ever fed him before—aside from his mother and nanny when he was a child.

Dain’s heart pounded. He chewed and swallowed the shrimp without even tasting it.

“Here, this too. Ah—”

After the shrimp, grilled salmon entered his mouth. He again mechanically chewed and gulped down the grilled salmon.

His gaze was constantly directed toward Liana. He felt like he was addicted to her. He couldn’t turn his gaze elsewhere.

‘This is dangerous……’

Liana enjoyed putting food in his mouth continuously, and Dain kept receiving the food she gave him.

After the meal ended, they were eating cake for dessert and drinking tea.

Through the VIP room window, heavy snow was falling unexpectedly in the dark evening sky.

Since Rozella was in the northernmost part of the continent, the weather was unpredictable. Spring would arrive, only for snow to fall suddenly, and even when it seemed like summer had come, the cold would return without warning.

Dain anticipated what Liana would say.

She’ll admire the snowy scenery. Then she’ll suggest going out in the snow.

“Dain, it’s snowing. My goodness. It’s heavy snow. I’ve never seen such thick snow before.”

When the expected words came, the corners of Dain’s mouth curved up.

“Let’s go out in the snow after we finish our tea.”

“Sure, let’s do that.”

The two people who came out of the restaurant walked side by side on the snowy street.

Dain held her hand, wanting to warm it, but his was even colder.

“Oh my, why is your hand so cold? Ho—, ho—.”

Liana wrapped his hand in both of hers and blew warm breath over it. Dain quietly watched that lovely scene and smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled up.

Seeing his smile, Liana forgot about blowing her breath and hurriedly lowered her head. Her heart pounded like it would burst.

‘What is this. I think it’s the first time seeing him smile like that.’

Trying to calm her racing heart, Liana quietly held his hand again.

Walking like that, they came to a park. The place was quiet, probably because all the people who had been watching the festival had returned home.

“Oh my, there’s even a snake statue. It’s similar to the white snake statue at the ducal castle.”

Liana said while looking at the statue in the park with a curious face.

In Rozella, the white snake was worshipped as a sacred creature. People believed that a white snake lived on Mount Rope and brought prosperity and good fortune to Rozella.

Long ago, Rozella had a custom of offering virgins as sacrifices to the white snake, but the previous Duke Pruis, Dain’s father, abolished it, calling it superstition. Instead, he erected white snake statues throughout the territory for the people who wished to honor the white snake.

“Do you find the snake statue interesting?”

“It’s interesting. Usually people are scared of and hate snakes. I used to be like that too, but now I’m fine.”

“Really?”

Dain’s eyebrow rose slightly.

“Why aren’t you scared of snakes?”

“The snakes saved me on the mountain this time. I’m grateful, so I decided not to be scared anymore.”

Actually, it was also because she had become friends with Leomi, but she decided to keep that story as her own secret. Since Leomi was a precious friend who made life at the ducal castle less lonely, she didn’t want to tell anyone.

“I see.”

Dain was curious about what she thought of Leomi, but since she didn’t talk about it, he couldn’t ask.

The two continued walking through the park holding hands.

Next to another snake statue was a streetlamp with several candles stuck in it. The heavy snow falling was reflected in the yellow streetlamp light. The scene was beautiful like something from a fairy tale.

“Wow, it’s pretty.”

Liana smiled brightly and was delighted. That moment, Dain lowered his head and bit her lips.

“Mmph.”

Dain could no longer hold back seeing Liana’s fairy-like face reflected in the streetlamp light and showered her with kisses.

The two kissed for a long time while being hit by the heavy snow.

Liana, who returned to the villa with Dain, sat in the bathtub slowly washing her body while lost in thought.

She wanted to know everything about Dain.

‘I should ask him to untie my hands today.’

If her hands were free, she could untie the blindfold anytime, so she planned to ask him to untie her hands first. Having made up her mind firmly, she waited for Dain to come.

Late at night. The bedroom door opened and Dain in a robe strode in.

He climbed onto the bed and pressed his lips to Liana’s. His heart was restless—it had been a while since he’d last held her.

But she turned her head away sharply.

“……?”

Dain sought her lips again. This time too, Liana avoided his lips.

“Why?”

Dain asked with a thirsty expression.

“Please untie my hands.”

“……”

Dain untied the string binding her hands without hesitation. Even without Liana’s request, he had been planning to untie her hands now. He even felt sorry for her having her hands tied even while on vacation.

But he didn’t untie the blindfold until the end.

Today, he planned to tell Liana the biggest secret of his life.

That he had two c*cks.

However, since he couldn’t bring himself to show her, he stopped at just untying her hands.

“Thank you.”

“Then can I do it now? If you want something, say it now.”

He spoke with a calm expression, but inside he was very anxious.

“I don’t have any.”

Dain’s eyebrow rose slightly at Liana’s answer. He thought she would ask him to remove the blindfold too, but she made no further demands.

“Good. Then.”

He was puzzled why she didn’t ask to remove the blindfold when it must be stuffy, but Dain didn’t ask any more questions. He was in a very urgent state right now.

Without a moment to breathe, Dain’s firm lips covered Liana’s.

“Mmm.”

He bit her lower lip and sucked it urgently, then moved to her upper lip and inserted his tongue in her mouth. After running over her neat teeth and gums, he put his tongue deep into her mouth and curled and pulled the root of her tongue.

“Mmm.”

Liana moaned and wrapped both her freed arms around Dain’s neck. When their two sensitive tongues brushed and intertwined, thrilling sensations spread throughout her body.

Saliva seeped out between their two lips that touched without gaps. The two focused on kissing for a long time, licking each other’s saliva.

Dain, who finished the kiss, lightly bit Liana’s lower lip and licked up her soft neck.

Her neck tasted sweet like peach flesh. Dain gently licked her skin like savoring the taste.

“Mmng.”

A small moan flowed from Liana’s mouth at the feeling that seemed both chilling and languid.

Before she knew it, Dain’s hand was placed on her full br*asts. He circled her br*asts, occasionally kneading it firmly, then gently pinched her n*pples.

The reason she didn’t ask Dain to remove the blindfold was to wait until he removed it himself. There must be a reason why he had covered her eyes until now, so she didn’t want to force him to remove it.

If she wanted to remove the blindfold, she could do it herself anytime.

It was good that there were many things she could do now that her hands weren’t tied. Liana used her freed hands to stroke his firm shoulders, muscular bumpy arms, and solid broad chest.

She had been very curious about his body. While Dain touched her body freely, she couldn’t do the same because her hands were tied, but today she planned to touch him thoroughly.

Liana’s hand groped Dain’s chest and stomach, then gradually went down. Dain didn’t stop her. Soon his secret would be exposed.

When she found out, she might run away.

She might despise him calling him disgusting.

But Dain wanted to be honest with Liana. He admitted it. That Liana was no longer just a woman for pheromone relief.

He caressed her br*asts with a nervous heart.
