Only With Your Heart - Only With Your Heart Chapter 72

Now she felt like she could ask him honestly.

She was sure that there was no need for any secrets to exist between the two of them. 

“Actually … she came to me and threatened me in a similar way.”

“Who?”

Lukrov’s tone was as if he forgot the existence of the Count’s daughter in the castle, so Chizuru reminded him.

“Lady Exia.”

“Oh, that witch. Damn, I shouldn’t have allowed her to stay in the castle. What did she say to you?”

“She.. She said that…she once had a relationship with you …”

Although she intended to say it in a casual tone and tried not to be stiff at all, she noticed her voice was quivering slightly.

It scared her to even imagine what Lukrov’s reaction would be.

The man who was once called the Knight of Fire, that name did not come from nothing.

He groaned in a low voice and looked back at her with eyes filled with murderous intentions.

“What.  Did.  You.  Say?”

He spoke slowly.

She could feel the anger in his voice with every word that came from his mouth.

Chizuru followed up quickly saying, 

“It’s alright. I know she was only telling lies to try and get in between us. I didn’t believe anything she said, and even if it was true, it’s not like I blame you or anything. It’s been 14 years. Having a relationship once or twice is normal, even if there was a relationship between you two, I understand that all, and I’m not angry.“

“Chi.zu.ru“

Lukrov’s voice grew even more terrifying.

“Men, mmhm, they need it sometimes right?…so…well, I don’t really care …?”

“Shut up!”

Lukrov pushed Chizuru onto the sheets with such force that it seemed like the bed would crack, and got on top of her. Chizuru gasped without thinking.

Their faces were so close that they could kiss.

Lukrov looked more serious than ever, and slowly declared in a deep voice: 

“I swear on the souls of Edina and Zain. I’ve never had a relationship with another woman. Not even once. Ever since I met you, and during the fourteen years that I lost sight of you. I’ve never even thought of it.”

“Lukrov …”

Hearing that, the only thing she could do was to call his name.

 It was a confession that was so sincere. So heavy, so hot.

And he wasn’t even done yet.

“Look, Chizuru, there are times when a man certainly needs to release. But I have a right hand that works properly, and that was enough.”

“Right …”

Hand.

Release.

For a moment, the inside of her head turned blank.

Chizuru was not a baby either. She immediately realized what the words he spat out meant, which turned her face bright red.

“I tried to forget you, I can’t deny this. But that doesn’t mean that I was able to forget you and tried to move on to another woman… RELATIONSHIP???! Don’t make me laugh. If she is going to spit nonsense, tell her to come back with a better lie.”

Perhaps because he said what he wanted, Lukrov’s voice regained a little composure, but the irritation was still visible on his face, not that he was trying to hide it in the first place.

While Chizuru was at a loss for words, Lukrov made his way to her lips and kissed her till she was breathless. Then he moved to place hot kisses on her throat and ears.

“Ah.”

“And once again, I swear. Going forward, this will never change. I will never touch any other woman for the rest of my life.”

Chizuru was so overwhelmed that when she tried to call out his name, no sound came out. She couldn’t even manage a whisper.  

“And … again, countless times, swear that you will not leave me.”

That vow, that oath, that promise.

She had no intention of breaking it, but now she would protect it even if it cost her life.

“Yes.”

Chizuru managed to answer, even though her voice seemed choked with tears.

“Yeah … I’ll never leave you. I’ll be by your side at all times … Rest assured.”
