Fostering the Male Lead - Chapter 109
“Then it will be fun from now on. Because I’m going to beat your butt red.”
“My butt?”
“Yes, Your Highness even allowed it.”
Sihael was suspicious of the words he had heard the first time, so he raised an eyebrow.
“I have no memory of that.”
“Of course! It’s a promise we made when Your Highness attacked me!”
Sihael, who managed to avoid the fierce flying pillow, broke out in a cold sweat. He raised his hands so that his palms would be visible to me and slowly held them forward.
Like calming an angry beast.
“Pervert. Don’t you like my butt too much? I think you like it as much as my face.”
Even in the middle of this, he was joking. It was really too much.
“You really need a good scolding.”
I swung my pillow after the fleeing Sihael, and this time, hair flew from the broken pillow. The battered Sihael grabbed my shoulder.
“Rosetta, I really feel like my shoulder is gone this time.”
“Don’t be such a baby. I only hit your shoulders and back because I was thinking of saving your face.”
Seeing my rage filled eyes, Sihael groaned and lay down on the bed. I hurriedly averted my eyes to the disheveled appearance of Sihael lying on the bed.
Beep beep beep.
A red light kept flashing inside my head.
“Get up. I never allowed you to lie in my bed.”
“Rosetta, guess who owns this villa?”
Of course it’s you. How could you be so shameless to say that you own it right in front of my eyes?
Sihael, who blocked my mouth with his wealth, smiled in victory.
“You’re very good looking.”
“Yup, I’m good looking.”
Look at him not losing a word. I sighed and sat down on the sofa. I turned my back to Sihael with my arms crossed and felt his eyes staring at me from behind.
“Why are you angry?”
“Because your Highness abandoned me.”
“There’s one more thing besides that.”
He was quick-witted.
“Are you going to keep turning your back on me? Then shall I go?”
I quickly faced Sihael. I had a hard time making eye contact with a chuckling Sihael and looked at his shoulder.
Sihael’s eyebrows twitched at my evading gaze, as I continued to avoid him, but he did not force it any further.
“Now tell me. Why are you angry?”
“…I’m not angry, I’m just, it’s just I care.”
“What?”
I mean well.
As I kept stuttering over and over again, I closed my eyes tightly.
“I mean the kiss on my eyes!”
I almost cried at the sound of a voice urging me to leave the room.
‘It’s embarrassing. I just want to disappear.’
It would have been nice if he gave me some kind of reaction, whether it be laughter or teasing, but the surroundings were strangely quiet. Unable to bear the silence, I slowly opened my eyes. Sihael buried his head in the bed.
I’m the one who wants to hide because I’m embarrassed, but why are you burying your head down?
“Your Highness?”
Sihael’s face was red when he raised his head. Did the blanket make it hard for him to breathe? As if nothing had happened, Sihael’s lips naturally drew an arc as he rested his chin.
“Did it bother you?”
“Of course it did.”
“I see, it bothers you.”
Why was he being like this? I stared at Sihael repeating the same thing like a broken radio.
“Anyone would be bothered if something like that happens to them.”
“I was so tactless that I thought you would forget it if you turned around.”
Why are you trying to provoke me again? When I glared at him, my eyes which had been evading him so far met with his eyes. Sihael didn’t miss the timing. The gently folded eyes turned mischievous.
Instinctively sensing danger, I opened my eyes wide.
“Why, what? Are you going to tease me again?”
“You know, Rosetta. You looked pretty at the banquet.”
How did our conversation suddenly jump in that direction? Clenching my fists at the unpredictable conversation, I pulled up the corners of my mouth and closed my eyes. The corners of my mouth, which I had forced up, twitched.
“Right? You liked my earrings and necklace, too, right?”
I knew that was not what I meant, but I changed the subject pretending I didn’t know.
“It was a coming-of-age gift, but I put it on in advance. I’m trying hard to promote it.”
“Was my brooch for promotion, too?”
“Yes. But I designed the brooch myself, Your Highness.”
Sihael’s expression became subtle when I shrugged my shoulders as if I were bragging.
“With your drawing skills?”
“I worked hard and stayed up all night long to draw it!”
It was just a picture anyway. As long as the finished product came out well, it didn’t matter. Sihael grinned lightly as he mumbled.
“Thank you. Someone else was acting to be me that day, but I’ll definitely wear it for your coming-of-age ceremony.”
“Be sure to come and show off your good looks to everyone.”
On that day, it was a pity that Sihael could not properly introduce the brooch because he became a wolf, but it was a good thing.
“You got a necklace and earrings. What about the ring?”
“I don’t know. I’m wondering if I should wear what I have or not.”
I’m not particularly fond of accessories, and I wanted Asila’s work to receive attention. Also when I opened the jewelry box, it was overflowing with rings so I didn’t have to get a new one anytime soon.
“Then don’t wear the ring.”
“Why?”
“You don’t have to make your fingers heavy.”
That’s true. He was definitely right, but why do I feel so anxious? I wondered what his plan was again this time, but when I tried to gauge his intentions, he just smiled prettily.
“By the way, Rosetta, I think you misunderstood something.”
“Did I ?”
I don’t think there was anything like that. When I tilted my head, perplexed, Sihael got up from the bed and approached me.
‘What, why are you coming closer…!’
While hesitating, my back hit the sofa and I searched for a place to escape. In the meantime, Sihael, who had arrived in front of me, bent down and whispered softly.
“You’re the one I said was pretty.”
