Do Flowers Bloom in the Fallen Land? - Chapter 143.1

After nodding at Baron, who was loitering around and wouldn’t give up, Seira took a moment to sort out her thoughts.

Her body, which couldn’t recover even after taking medicine, her communication with the beasts, and…

‘King, this is not your palace.’

Even the Guardian of the Ardennes archipelago who was speaking to her.

All of this was proving to be true of Baron’s words that D-Arc and she were being contaminated together.

‘It wasn’t a good thing to feel better after spending time with Aven.’

Perhaps it was a phenomenon that followed as the symptoms of her addiction worsened.

‘Then on the island…?’

Seira looked at Aven and asked, suddenly wondering.

“Did you come to see me when I was in the Ardennes Islands?”

“…”

Seira noticed that Aven’s silence meant affirmation.

‘Oh, my God… I thought it was all a dream. If what happened that night was real…’

Since the pregnancy was around that time, maybe the father of the child in her womb was Aven…

‘No, come now. What are you thinking?’

Seira hastily cut off her sprawling branches of consciousness and settled down. Now was the time to focus on a single possibility and bet everything.

“What did he say? What did you talk about that makes you so worried?”

Aven, who was silent all along, asked her a question.

“Why? Are you curious?”

Seira pulled the hand she was holding toward her, tilted her head and looked up at him. Aven’s lips softened at the lovely look.

“Of course I am, for the slightest thing about you is very important to me.”

“If you say so, I can’t help but tell you… Come closer, Aven.”

He bent over at her gesturing hand.

“Like this.”

“No, more.”

Pulling by Aven’s collar, she raised her heels and kissed him slightly.

“…?”

He tilted his head as he quietly stared at her lips, which had fallen off after the light touch. Seira asked in response to his unexpected reaction.

“Why are you looking at me like that? What’s wrong?”

“I thought it was unexpected that you kissed me first in the presence of people.”

Even though they were at a corner, it wasn’t a place completely blocked from other people’s attention. In fact, she could still feel gazes of several people who persistently watched her.

For example, Calrad…

“I don’t care anymore. I’ll do whatever I want.”

“You wanted to do this with me.”

“I want to do something more.”

She slipped her hand, which she had clasped, and put her arm around his neck, his eyes narrowed loosely.

“I will give you everything you want, even if you don’t tempt me so sweetly.”

“Anything…?”

“Yes, anything.”

At the distance of the tip of his nose, Seira stared intently into his eyes.

“Of course… Promise me you will do your best to send them back safely.”

After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth.

“Are you concerned; I am afraid that I will harm those you care about.”

“That’s right.”

“…I thought you’d deny it.”

She burst into a small laugh at his raised eyebrows.

“That’s what I was like.”

Her eyes searching his beautiful face, Seira confessed.

“Your fiancé, I hated her so much that I wanted to kill her. I’m sure Aven feels the same way.”

Even after finding out that the two weren’t in a relationship, Seira hated Elina terribly. In front of other people’s eyes, holding hands, arm in arm, and even dancing. Maybe they hugged or kissed.

When she imagined this, she was so jealous that she couldn’t stand it. So, it was only natural for Aven to hate those who were close to her. Wouldn’t he have been more disappointed if it had been okay?

Of course, it’s a big problem that the scope was too broad. Honestly, wasn’t it too much to be wary of Zion, Mailin, and even Lucy?

“I beg you, Aven. Please bear with me. They will all go back to where they came from once the beasts from the other nests have disappeared anyway.”

“Really, is that right?”

“Of course. They have their own families and houses.”

Here, the only people who considered Askan home were herself and Aven.

“I don’t want any other feelings coming in between us. You don’t either, do you?”

She was confident that she would love Aven no matter what he looked like, even if he changed into a beast, but if he hurt innocent people, then it would be difficult to consider him as the Alpha she loved. So, the request Seira made to him now was to protect their love.

Aven, who was still facing her determined eyes, replied with a smile.

“I see.”

A bright smile spread on her face.

“Thank you, Aven. Thank you very much.”

“Your joy is my pleasure.”

Her trembling lips parted slightly at his whisper. Knowing what she wanted, he cupped her lips. He rubbed his lips together gently and licked them slowly before digging in.

“Ugh…”
