FLBE Chapter 9 Part 9
by SYLPHUnless someone had wings, no human could reach this island high in the sky.
There wasn’t a scene like this in the novel… Well, there weren’t any mages either. Ugh, I don’t even know anymore.
“Welcome to my home. Let’s live happily together from now on.”
“W-what?”
“Heh, you really have a lot of expressions.”
Seeing the man’s gentle smile, Liena realized something important.
An island no one could reach. An island no one could see without permission.
That meant, without Lance’s help, she couldn’t leave this place either.
Relieved that she had made the vow with the sigil, Liena patted her chest. If she hadn’t made that vow, she might have been stuck here forever. Just thinking about it gave her chills. It was like escaping a tiger only to fall into a fox’s den.
At this moment, Liena trusted only the sigil of the vow.
“Liena.”
“Yes…?”
“You don’t have to be so formal with me. I’m not like the Emperor, you know? So speak comfortably from now on.”
“Oh… Okay.”
“Again.”
“I’m still more comfortable like this…”
“Well, suit yourself. Do whatever you want. Here, you don’t have to worry about anyone else.”
Seeing his bright smile, Liena thought he didn’t seem like such a bad guy. However, not knowing him well, she couldn’t completely trust him yet. The only thing she trusted was the sigil of the vow.
“Isn’t it beautiful?”
“Huh? Oh, yes.”
Her wary eyes followed his gaze to the scene before her. Once again, she was captivated by the astonishing sight unfolding before her.
“It’s truly amazing. How can something like this exist?”
“This is a place created by mages working together.”
The island, looking as if it’s an earth split in half, was so mysterious and beautiful that it drew gasps of admiration. Sitting on a small rock that seemed to have broken off from the island, Liena felt as if she were perched on a tiny asteroid in space, gazing at a bisected Earth.
Seeing Liena’s curious face, her eyes sparkling as she looked at his island, Lance watched her with a proud expression. Despite his eyes occasionally clouding over with the sweet scent of her pheromones carried by the wind, Lance decided to hold back until she completely trusted him.
“Is there anything you want to know about me?”
“Something I want to know?”
“Yes. Ask me anything. I’ll tell you everything.”
Resting his chin on his hand, he looked at her, urging her to ask anything. Liena started with the question that had been on her mind the most.
“Why did you approach me?”
“Approach, huh? That sounds a bit odd.”
“Is it because I’m an Omega?”
“That’s not entirely wrong, but it’s not the whole reason.”
Despite his cryptic answer, Liena felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
It wasn’t personal affection but merely the attraction created by the bond between an Alpha and an Omega. That realization left a bitter taste. They were drawn together by animalistic instincts, like a male dog seeking a female for endless mating.
Although she hadn’t expected anything more from him, she had foolishly hoped for a different meaning.
“Why are you suddenly looking so down?”
“It’s nothing.”
“I told you that’s not all there is to it.”
“Who said anything?”
Her voice turned sulky as she averted her gaze. Lance gently turned her face back towards him and spoke with an uncharacteristically serious expression.
“It’s true that I was intrigued because you’re an Omega. But I’ve never been interested in any other Omega before. I’ve never seen or met one.”
“What?”
“You can ask Roan later if you don’t believe me. He’ll tell you if it’s true or not.”
“Then why me…”
“Exactly. That’s what I find strange too. What makes you so different that I’m drawn to you like this? I’m curious myself.”
His cryptic words left Liena blinking in confusion.
Seeing the sudden intense glint in his eyes, Liena quickly turned her head away, understanding all too well what he desired.
But as she glanced down at the dizzying height below, she yelped and instinctively clung to him for safety. It was an action driven by her survival instinct.
“Can I take that as permission?”
“N-no! I-I’m just scared. Can’t we go back to the room now?”
“If we go to a confined space, I can’t guarantee how I’ll behave.”
The beautiful purple eyes that once seemed enchanting now glistened with a sinister gleam. As the lust hidden in those eyes became apparent, Liena slowly began to pull away from his embrace.
“This isn’t a good idea.”
“La-Lance.”
“Shh… Don’t be scared. I’ve told you I won’t treat you poorly.”
“Hey, the sigil of the vow!”
“Three times a day. I’ve only used it twice today. I’m just trying to use the last one. I can’t hold back anymore.”
With Lance lifting her chin, the blue sky filled Liena’s vision. His face hovered above her upturned one, his dark purple eyes now appearing almost black. She could feel just how much he was restraining himself.
In that moment, a purple shadow flickered over his form. The shadow started to wrap around Liena like ropes, binding her tightly. She felt her throat constrict and her entire body ensnared, filling her with fear.
“La-Lance…”
“My c*ck will behave until you want it. But I can still give you sweet dreams, can’t I? I’ll keep my promise, so don’t worry.”
“Uht.”
“Feel me as you did in your dreams. I’ll give you a taste of ecstasy.”
‘Don’t be afraid, just let yourself feel me.’
‘You’ll experience ecstasy.’
His words triggered memories of their encounters in her dreams. She remembered the sensation of his tongue entering her mouth, the subtle scent of his body, and his sweet, yet seductive whispers.
“Mm, hmm.”
With just a kiss, her mind was reeling with excitement. His breath was so hot, it felt like her lips were burning. The purple shadow that had wrapped around her body felt like it was being etched into her skin. Her lower abdomen tightened as if on fire, and her heart pounded wildly. She felt like she might end up clinging to him first.
Just as her mind was becoming hazy, he pulled his lips away. She could see the lust filling his purple eyes, even as he smiled casually.
When the blissful kiss ended, her pupils fluttered open, filled with regret. Panting softly, Liena’s gaze at him was intensely seductive.
“You look very regretful.”
“N-no!”
Even as she yelled, she felt her face flush with embarrassment, as if he had seen right through her. As she quickly turned her head away, Lance chuckled.
“Anyway, you can’t deceive me. I’m worried about how you’ll get through this harsh world.”
“What did you say?”
“Ha, this won’t do. I absolutely hate bothersome things, but it seems like I’ll have to stay by your side and protect you.”
“…Ha, it seems like the most dangerous person to me right now is you.”
“And who is the one who shackled that dangerous guy, just to say such hurtful things?”
“You said you wouldn’t treat me poorly! This is treating me poorly!”
“If I really intended to treat you carelessly, by now, you’d be taking in my d*ck and making moans instead of talking.”
Liena let out a deep sigh at the annoying sight of the man who responded to everything without losing a single word. She felt she couldn’t beat him in a verbal fight.
“Ugh, just take me somewhere else. I’m scared.”
“Alright. Let’s go somewhere. Somewhere completely enclosed.”
Now accustomed to it, whenever he embraced her, Liena would squeeze her eyes shut. And when she opened them, she was in a different room from before. Unlike his room, this new room felt lovely and cozy, unmistakably exuding the atmosphere of a woman’s room.
“Where are we now?”
“Your room.”
“My… room? Did you prepare this in advance?”
“Yeah, I got it ready so you could come anytime.”
“Hah!”
She was stunned but also relieved. She had been worried that she might have to stay in his room…
But still, how did he know I’d come?
