Time seemed to stop. Judith looked into the man’s eyes as if possessed. The man who looked at Judith gently tilted his head slightly, just like a beast does when it pays attention to something.

Judith’s heart was pounding uncontrollably. For some reason, her stomach was tickled.

The man who had been looking at Judith for a long time turned around and left the hall.

‘No, I have to catch him.’

Judith gulped down the wine she was holding and followed the man out into the hallway. But, there was no one there. The man was already too far away with his big stride.

“Hey!”

Judith called him, but he ignored her. Maybe she was too far away and could not be heard. She ran out of breath and followed the man. The man went into a room in a secluded place. Judith opened the door without hesitation.

The man was standing with his back to Judith. As if he knew she was following him, there was no sign he was surprised. It was only then that Judith noticed that she fell into the trap he made.

“Should I say you don’t have fear or naive…… Did you not learn that you shouldn’t follow strangers carelessly?” The man turned his head slightly back and asked.

His voice was low but soft the first time she heard it. Maybe it was because of the run a while ago or because of the man in front of her, her heart was pounding hard.

“……I did.”

“Then, did you learn what a man and a woman do when they enter a room in a secluded place of a banquet like this?”

“I am an adult.”

What do you see me as?

Judith, who was furious at the sound of ridicule, responded softly. His lips hidden behind the mask seemed to smile somehow.

In a moment, the man turned around and walked towards her. He stood right in front of her in the blink of an eye. His face was still covered with a mask.

“If you knew, you shouldn’t have followed a stranger into the room, Lady.”

“You seduced me first.”

Maybe it was because she was drunk that she said things she usually wouldn’t. The man smirked as if he was having fun. He then took off his mask. Even in the dim light of two candles, his face was clearly visible. That selfishly handsome face.

“May I take it to mean that you have succumbed to my temptations?”

The man’s approaching hand loosened the rope holding Judith’s mask. The cloth mask fell off.

Judith stared blankly at the man’s face, and instead of answering, she grabbed his collar and kissed his lips. But kissing was not enough. Judith instinctively licked his lips clumsily.

The man, who seemed bewildered for a moment, pulled Judith’s back, hugged her, and opened his mouth to respond to her kiss. Hot breaths came and went. She was short of breath.

‘I’m dizzy……’

As her body heated up, she could feel his tongue digging into her mouth in haste. The hot flesh caresses the soft flesh, swallows the breath, and winds it up so that she does not move. That was dizzying.

“Mm……” she groaned.

She was out of breath, her back was twisted. But she didn’t want to push the man away.

Judith wrapped her arms around the man’s neck. The man skillfully led Judith to the bed and got on top of her.

“Ahh.”

As he sucked on the nape of Judith’s neck, she swayed slightly as she groaned. At the same time, the man paused.

“Ha……”

The man barely got up after he stopped moving. The man’s eyes trembled like that of an animal that had not yet satisfied his hunger. There was a sign that he was barely suppressing his emotions.

The man covered his face with his large hand. He got up and murmured.

“……not like this. No.”

I don’t know what’s wrong, but looking into his eyes, it’s clear that he has the same heart as me. Even so, seeing him hesitate for one small reaction, he looked more like a child.

Judith put the man who was about to get up and got on top of him. That’s something she would never do if she was sane.

Judith touched the man’s chest and leaned her upper body towards him.

“What’s wrong?”

Then she kissed his lips hurriedly, like an infant seeking milk. She licked his lips gently, and then released them. As soon as Judith accepted it as consent and was about to kiss him again, he stopped her by holding her shoulder.

“You will regret it.”

Contrary to his worried words, his eyes were dangerous as if they would swallow her at any moment.

“I won’t.”

There was not even a single hesitation in Judith’s answer.

Judith covered his lips with hers before he could say anything else.

“Bring me breakfast.”

Theo did not take his eyes off Judith and commanded the servant in an indifferent voice. The difference in temperature between his voice and his eyes looking at her was so great that she instantly mistakenly thought it wasn’t his voice.

The servant bowed his head and retreated.

“Your Majesty……?”

Judith, who looked at Theo’s face blankly, hesitantly called him again. Knowing that there is only one person in the whole continent to be called ‘Your Majesty.’

Theo replied with a frown on his forehead. “It would sound better if you called me by my name.”

……oh my God.

Judith screamed inwardly and blamed herself.

‘How could you not think that such a face could only be had by the male lead, Judith?’

I should have been suspicious of the fact that he was a handsome and taller man than my brothers—the supporting characters of the original story!

‘I should have noticed when I heard his name at the very least……?’

But it was already unstoppable when she heard his name, so even if she noticed halfway through, she probably wouldn’t have stopped.

‘Had I knew this would happen, I would not have attended the masquerade. No, I should have brought my brothers……’

If that’s not the case, she just had to go home quickly.

If she hadn’t pursued Theo who seduced her.

If she just turned around in front of the door.

If she hadn’t laid down again when he turned around……

She had a lot of moments where she could have stopped, but she didn’t.

‘Oh, I want to turn back time.’

However, even her older brother, Luhin, the lord of the tower, would not be able to turn back time.

“Isn’t there something you wanted to ask before? What about us, and what’s next?”

Theo, who did not know the inner thoughts of Judith, who was brimming with anguish, thoughtfully asked the question first. Confused, Judith recalled the question a bit late.

“Oh, that….., nothing.”

‘It’s crazy to ask what we’re doing next! Of course, we have nothing to do with each other. Never be in a relationship with this man.’

Judith sighed in self-doubt and sneaked out of Theo’s arms. The moment she got out of bed, the pain spread violently over her body.

“Ouch!”

Judith sat still on the floor.

“Judith!”

Surprised, Theo got out of bed and came to Judith. He got out of the blanket and was naked. Not a single thread on his body.

The chest muscles she touched last night, the abs shaded by curves, and the persistent digging into her all night……

‘Something that big entered my body……?’

After seeing ‘it’ involuntarily, suddenly, she felt more pain in the lower part.

Judith hurriedly looked away and shouted. “Fine! I’m fine!”

Theo, who was approaching, paused. Then Judith stood with her back to him and began to dress.

Theo’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Judith’s back. He lay on the bed and looked at her side profile. Then Judith turned her body slightly and turned her back to him. One corner of his mouth raised up.

‘Why is this so embarrassing?’

His eyes swept over her body, passing through her little back, and came to her little butt.

“You’re prettier naked.”
