Do Flowers Bloom in the Fallen Land? - Chapter 149.2

Even as he tried not to show his emotions, Aven’s brow unwittingly distorted with jealousy toward himself in that dream.

“But I couldn’t.”

Seira laughed as she watched the veins at the back of his hand bulged as it held her ankle.

“The person I love was here, and I felt like he would wait for me forever, so I couldn’t help but come back.”

“…Seira.”

He closed his eyes tightly and opened them, meeting her gaze and opening his mouth.

“I thought a lot during the time you were asleep.”

His struggling voice was miserable and badly wet.

“I still remember vividly, what I was going to do with you. How I tried to seize you with such ugly desires. Almost… Almost, I, you…!”

“You said it before. You’ll give me one chance to run away. I’ve kicked that opportunity now. With my own will, with my own desires.”

His eyes shook helplessly beneath his pitifully drooping eyelashes.

“You don’t think I still don’t know the depths of you, do you?”

Her eyes, looking straight at him through their gentle curves, weren’t entirely gentle.

Seira had learned the true nature of ‘Aven Helford,’ who she thought was honest and loyal. The man she loved was someone who could be crueler than anyone else in the world. Perhaps this kind of temperament wouldn’t change easily in the future. However…

“No matter what, I will not give up on Aven.”

Instead of running away from the monster that wanted to posses every single strange of her hair, Seira decided to keep him in her arms for the rest of her life. She had already realized that it was difficult to live without him.

“So, you can’t betray me either, okay?”

“I… How dare I betray you?”

Only then did her eyes soften.

“Come here. Stop pretending to be quiet.”

Seira reached out to him first, who was still hesitating, even though he was desperate to get inside her right away. She held in her arms a man who turned himself into a well-behaved dog.

Seira licked his red lips, which she had been lusting all along in her dreams. More than any sweet thing in the world, the sweet pheromones flooded in an instant and flowed down her throat.

“Ugh…”

Wetness rubbed against each other, hot breathes exchanged, and bodies that had been heated for a long time intertwined. They confirmed each other’s existence, entangled without a single gap as if they’d been one from the very beginning.

“You can’t overdo it…”

“I don’t know what happened while I was asleep, but I’m fine, so you don’t have to worry.”

With her arms around his neck, she smiled lazily.

“Still, I can’t allow you to show off our relationship to Baron.”

“Seira, that’s…”

Aven was frozen like ice, unable to confirm or deny. This was because it was something he had planned back then, blinded by his jealousy, when he had tolerated Baron as a Guardian to Guardian while also keeping him in check.

“…It was my fault. Could you please forget about the thoughts you had back then?”

Unfortunately, however, Seira did not give him a positive answer. Rather, she only whispered about plans that are more insidious than the former, driving him crazy.

“It’s all right, Aven, because one day your wish may come true.”

“…”

Eventually, Aven, who gave up halfway, focused on achieving one of the most moderate desires, exactly as she intended.

“How can you break the marble tub…?”

Baron, who was glancing at the bathroom with a curious face while holding a plate, was surprised when his eyes met Aven.

“Aven, the… Wasn’t it fine just now? I think you’re looking at me as if I’m something useless…”

“You are mistaken.”

Aven let out a small sigh and relentlessly snatched away the plate in Baron’s hand.

“Food… I’ll get it ready again.”

“Huh? Why? She woke up after four days, so she needs to eat meat.”

Aven glanced again at Baron, who had grilled five juicy, thick steaks.

“After a short break from starvation, it’s better to start with soft meals. You can easily get sick.”

Aven left the room as he told him off as if reminding him to remember it well.

“Was Aven’s original personality like that…?”

Seira struggled to hold back her laughter as she saw Baron’s confusion.

Having seen all of Aven’s inner self, she knew well that he was rather generous to Baron. Baron may not even know.

“Baron, don’t you have something to say to me?”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Baron told her the details of the imperial capital’s current situation. From how the five nests were demolished, to where the nobles who cooperated with the temple were detained, to Calrad’s plan to pay for their sins to settle the past.

“…What happens then?”

“His Majesty must have had a life imprisonment in mind, for that is the heaviest punishment for Viseltium.”
