I Thought I Didn’t Have Long To Live! - Chapter 37
Chapter 37 (Don’t you want to sleep with me?)
Doha looked down at Lariette with a soft smile. His eyebrows were raised like a fox and his reddish lips were curved.
His posture, voice, and face. He looked like he didn’t miss anything. to the point where no one can reject him whether a man or a woman.
In particular, ‘Doing anything he requests for’ has a lot of meaning, and it was common flirting with lovers or people just before they started dating.
It’s so common that the intention is clearly visible, but it’s something that makes your heart flutter when you get hit. When a handsome and skillful person like Doha was there, the excitement was doubled.
But, instead of blushing, Lariette just looked up at Doha with sullen eyes. without even reacting.
It was only when Doha was a little embarrassed at that, that she slowly opened her mouth.
“Doha, I’m sorry….”
Doha was slightly bitten by a nervous start. I thought she was trying to feel what he was pushing and wanted to be honest.
However, what followed was very serious in a direction he didn’t expect.
“Isn’t it a bit difficult to listen to everything? It’s a scam contract.”
“… What?”
“No, what if Doha makes too much of an unreasonable request from me? Of course, I don’t think that’s the case, but I still don’t know about people heart….”
Lariette continued to mumble without looking at Doha’s bewildered face.
“What if, for example, you made a murder contract? Or if you ask me to dance on the street in a strange costume? I mean, I couldn’t do that.”
Lariette shook her head, even imagining people writing her name with her butt in a crowded square. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
How long is my name! That’s seven letters!
Doha was frozen for a moment in the same posture that seduced her, with a frown on her forehead and full of bizarre imaginations.
Why the hell did I do that? In a situation like this, shouldn’t you be imagining something romantic and sticky?
Unsurprisingly, his lips parted openly. But what came after the absurdity was pure pleasure.
“Ah, hahahaha!”
Doha sat down on the sofa as if he had collapsed and burst out laughing. It was so much fun that he couldn’t always predict the reaction.
Lariette looked at him laughing, still thinking that it was a really villainous laugh. It didn’t go well with his pretty face.
“Hahaha, yes. The contract must be clear. Rie, you’re smart.”
Doha continued to speak, pressing the corners of his lips with his fingers to calm the laughter.
“Then, how about granting a request without overdoing it?”
“Who decides the line?”
“Wherever I go, It won’t be scammed. Do it with your conscience.”
Isn’t this an extreme condition? Doha smiled softly and added.
As he said, it was quite unusual and good conditions. If you refuse a request that is too much right away, that’s all.
After finishing the calculation, Lariette nodded vigorously. Then she reached out to Doha.
“Okay, deal with it!”
“I like it, too.”
Doha took her little hand and waved it once, like a handshake. In the meantime, he thought her hands that burst into my hands were cute..
“Then, shall we start right away from today?”
Lariette asked, staring at him with twinkling eyes. It was a voice full of enthusiasm.
Doha tried to respond to that. It wouldn’t hurt if he could spend just a little more time with her.
No, it was rather nice. Lariette has been the most interesting thing for him lately and the person he wants to get close to the most. I wanted to meet her more often and for a long time and get to know her everything.
If that’s the case, I might lose interest quickly. Doha thought so.
However, there was no need to hesitate to meet. At first, he was the type to eat delicious things first.
But just as Doha was about to open his mouth, two knocks rang out and interrupted him.
The door opened and Joshua appeared with a nervous face.
“Excuse me. Th- that, Doha. Someone is looking for you.”
Doha raised one eyebrow and looked at him as if dissatisfied with his awkward tone. It was awkward, but it was unpleasant to have my time with her been interrupted.
However, Joshua, who could not have known about it, intervened, which meant that the person he was looking for was quite a high person. Like that old man.
Doha kept holding back his anger and regret, putting on a clever smile on his face.
“Hah, Rie. I’m sorry, but I think it’s going to be difficult today.”
“No, I just came all of a sudden. You were busy, I shouldn’t have taken up your time.”
“I’ll be there soon.”
Doha was pretending to be okay, but his subtly lowered voice revealed that he wasn’t feeling well. He politely escorted Lariette, looking at Joshua.
“By the way, thank you for renting the room. Seniors.”
“Wh,what? It’s nothing junior. haha.”
Joshua had to try very hard not to bite his tongue. Hearing those words from that person! It was so terrible that I had goosebumps all over my body.
“Oh, it was the priest’s room. Thank you for your consideration, priest.”
Lariette thought Joshua was a good senior who treated Doha kindly and greeted him with a bright smile. Somehow, I thought that the room was too good for a low-ranking priest, but it was because it belonged to a senior with a higher rank.
Is his room as a low-ranking priest embarrassing enough to bring guests? If it weren’t for that, it didn’t seem necessary to rent the senior’s room.
If so, it could be rude to come to the temple. Lariette vowed not to come to the temple in the future.
It was a complete misunderstanding, but it was a good thing for Doha. Because there is no need to change clothes in such a hurry.
Joshua waved his hand and replied that it was nothing. This isn’t his room, it’s just one of the drawing rooms belonging to Doha, so there’s really nothing for her to be grateful for.
“Rie, I’ll take you to the carriage.”
“No. I heard another senior is calling! I need to go quickly. So goodbye!”
Lariette answered, fearing that he might be reprimanded because of her. And, before he could say anything else, she said a quick hello and then walked out of the room.
As she left, Doha’s face turned cold in an instant, as if he had never been kind. The warm eyes were cold, and the curved upward lips were firmly closed.
“You can’t taint your acting once, Joshua.”
“Do you think everyone in the world is sly like Sir Mikhail?”
“You belong to Alteon, aren’t you? It is a basic virtue.”
To survive here. Doha added with a cool smile. Joshua didn’t say anything and just looked at him.
“Hah, Is that old man again?”
“Yes. High Priest Gibralfaro is looking for you.”
“What else is he trying to accuse?”
Doha began to take off the lower priest’s clothes casually. He didn’t care if Joshua was in front of him or not.
The joy that had circulated around him until a moment ago had gone, and all that was left was utter exhaustion.
Priests under Gibralfaro always tried to find a single piece of dust to devour him, and they harassed Doha in various other ways. It seems to have gotten worse these days.
It must be because the current Pope is not in very good condition.
For the obvious reason, Doha exhaled a low sigh.
Soon, the holy high priest’s clothes covered his large body full of scars.

There must be a lot of time until Asrazan returns anyway, Lariette stopped by the city and tasted various desserts. Then she picked out a few things that Asrahan would like, wrapped them, and got back on the carriage.
Due to the road blockage, when she arrived at the Duke of Kandel’s residence, the sky was already dyed red with the sunset.
To her surprise, another Duke Kandel’s carriage arrived from the opposite side as her carriage stopped in front of the gate. It was the carriage that Asrazan rode on.
Lariette found this and jumped off the carriage with excitement. Then she hurriedly ran to the door of the other carriage.
“Asrazan!”
Lariette opened the door and rushed into Asrazan’s arms. She might stumble, but Asrazan received her firmly without any shaking.
“What can we do, it must be our destiny! How could we arrive at the same time?”
It must have been fate that all roads were blocked! Lariette chimed in with a voice recalled.
Asrazan put a faint smile on his lips and embraced her tightly as she entered his arms. It was very cute to see her in his arms and looking up at him.
“How was your day?”
“Good! What about Asrazan?”
“Yes. I am having a good time too.”
It was a very satisfying day for him.
Although the meeting repeated the same thing, and the other nobles were busy flattering or attacking him, just having the beginning and the end with Lariette made the day perfect.
As soon as she ran up to him and hugged him, all the hardship and fatigue seemed to wash away. It’s really magical.
Asrazan thought it was because she was a purifying magician, a foolish thought, and grabbed Lariette’s tiny hand. Then we walked up the steps of the Duke’s house together.
As the large front door opened, the interior Duke of Kandel, which I had always seen, came into view. However, it was unusually busy.
The servants were wandering around the mansion with restless faces, and Halstein was standing in the center of it. It was a very serious-looking face.
“Oh, my lord, my lady. Did you come?”
“… What happened? The house is noisy.”
“Ah, that…”
Halstein bowed his head, hesitating to answer. Then he looked up at Asrazan as if he was noticing, and spoke slowly.
“I’m sorry, but… One of the newcomers had an accident. I ordered to wash the blankets quickly, but they soaked most of the blankets in the house.”
Asrazan raised his eyebrows as if to continue speaking. Halstein continued acting apologetic.
“Fortunately, the master’s quilt was not touched. However, the guest duvets were completely soaked and rolled up… There is not a single good quilt left for the lady.”
“Then go out and buy one.”
It was a clear answer. It’s not that Duke Kandel doesn’t have enough money, he just needs to buy a few new blankets and that’s it.
However, his reaction was already the expected Halstein. He brought out the prepared answer in a determined voice.
“I have already inquired. However, there is nothing as good as a blanket in Duke Kandel, and it takes several days from order to receipt. But that doesn’t mean I can’t give you a humble thing.”
“Oh, I’m fine…”
“No! As the butler of the Duke of Kandel, that would be absolutely unacceptable!”
As Lariette was about to start the plan, Halstein raised his voice and gave an answer full of responsibility. Asrazan narrowed his eyes and glared at him.
“Then give her my blanket. I don’t care.”
Asrazan said bluntly, as if he was making a fuss with everything. This was an unexpected response, so Halstein shook his head hurriedly. But help came from the other side.
“No! I’m fine. How can I take yours?”
“I am fine. It’s still hot at night. Didn’t you have a record of catching a cold?”
“It was because I fell into the fountain.”
Lariette and Asrazan struggled to concede good things to each other. Halstein looked at the scene happily for a moment, then came to his senses and went to the main point.
“If both of you think so… how about sleeping together for just one more day? like today haha.”
“Halstein.”
Acknowledging Halstein’s purpose, Asrazan frowned and called out his name as if warning him. However, due to Lariette’s voice that followed, he could not point it out further.
“Ah, that’s good.”
“Lariette, that’s…”
“Why? Does Asrazan not want to sleep with me?”
At the direct question, Asrazan’s ears burned hot in an instant.
He answered slowly, biting his lip to keep his face from blushing.
“That can’t be true, but…”
“Okay then! Let’s have dinner soon. I’m starving to death.”
Lariette smiled softly and changed the topic casually. Halstein guided them, saying that he had already prepared it with a bright face.
Corridor leading to the dining room.
Lariette glanced at Halstein and poke Asrazan on the shoulder. Then she gestured as if to bow his head.
Illustration
Asrazan bowed his upper body at her request, Lariette whispered in a small voice in his ear.
“Don’t worry. I will never touch you. Just like yesterday.”
Lariette winked playfully at him.
However, for Asrazan, it was a sound of heartbreak. Because it didn’t matter if she touched him or not.
However, in reality, it was clear that something even bigger would happen if she touched him even a little more, so Asrazan decided to use this as a comfort.
If you’re careful with yourself, if you can control the boiling filthy lust, it will be a happy ending. He thought so as he ate dinner.
But as always, it was not clear how things would go.
That night that I thought would pass just like yesterday.
Lariette’s promise to never touch him did not keep her promise, and the firm man’s body and the soft woman’s body constantly overlapped.
In the end, everything went according to Halstein’s plan.
