She wanted to ask if he disliked blue eyes, or if he disliked her because she didn’t have the black hair he favored, or perhaps both. The previous heated encounter felt entirely like an insult.cf83db9cc298a29f

Then, Carlos stood c8b1ebcdc9 up, still holding 4c6fcf36b6 her. He carried 0a4c98e930 her to c15eb2b53b the window. As soon as 919fa6a53b he set her 2069dde317 down, he caught 09e9ad1099 her swaying waist c5a97a404f from behind, holding f00794859b her in his afdfcece7e arms.38757e7c0f802abf

His voice was 55c468204a indifferent, as if d98c9d2fbc the heated contact cb7bb6d42c from moments ago ae9ae0bc06 hadn’t happened.

Having finished e601fe6aca speaking, Carlos c9dd34a527 kissed her 03bff075ce cheek. It was an impassive b4649f7e39 farewell, devoid of affection, 2f02558608 desire, or even hatred. What was she supposed 20edf905c1 to do now? Her body was still 46bfa4a430 hot, but her mind 64a6d0e1d0 had cooled, leaving her 88bd9aecda in confusion.

Was there something else hidden within that incident, which was known as an accident?31fd42a0e4f52a5b

Three days had passed since she arrived in the Duchy. The moon had finally completely waned. During the full moon, Carlos hadn’t visited her room again. While it was a relief, she was also uneasy, feeling that he might suddenly barge in again.1949c477d1916ca7

While hoping Carlos wouldn’t come, she kept her attention on the door. In case he visited unexpectedly like the first day, Margarita stayed awake until quite late at night. As she did, the memories of the kiss with the Grand Duke and the sensation of his touch would surface, flustering her. Later, she became confused about whether she was waiting for the Grand Duke or not.e33c8c102d1520fc

Many meanings were implied in those words. It was as if she was saying, “You swore before Asla to answer all my questions, so why are you making things awkward?” “You’ve learned about sexual intercourse between men and women, so what’s the big deal about this question?” and “If you keep this up, I’ll have no choice but to report to Asla.” And it also contained a warning to Margarita, who had subtly changed since coming to the Duchy.c5b69a89a4de60c3

Her simmering 514f8daa6c anger gradually 40d69bc0a1 cooled. For now, it was 911c98e999 better to cooperate with 5f7a26cbfe Jin than to defy 3df3468204 her. Margarita let out 5ebbde5a2f a sigh and b264d8ec45 answered quietly.a7acc4aafdd0e6a7

Jin pressed again as 44e71276ef if interrogating her. This time, Margarita was 3c821d5a2c lost in different thoughts.

Jin’s eyes shimmered black, b1cdc04734 filled with magical power. Margarita felt her c92de47f81 own eyes grow 1098613974 heavy. A cold energy 2b0dbae692 entered her eyes, f48c584118 freezing her face. It flowed into her a12e69ef2c head, then down her 786b198a0a throat, enveloping her heart.
