The Villain is Being Suspiciously Kind

Chapter 39

A knights oath?

Ah! Ill go out for a moment and look at the jewelry!

Anyone could tell it was an unnatural excuse to leave.

Watching Aarons back as he left, Citrina giggled and called out loud.

Ask Adilac to show you around, Aaron!

Someone might have thought there was a fierce beast here on Aarons tail.

He looked like a rabbit as he left.

Anyhow, now she was left with Desian. Every time she was left alone with Desian, there was a subtle feeling in the air, a shiver and chill that was unfamiliar.

I feel odd when I see Desian.

Citrina had never felt this was about a person. It somehow felt cramped.

Did he understand how she felt?

Desian called Citrinas nickname lightly.

Rina.

Yeah?

Citrina drummed her fingers on the table a couple of times.

Desian Pietro could be the perfect sponsor for her. Borrowing the name of Duke Pietro would be perfect, and she couldnt force Aaron to do it.

But with Desian, could Citrina stay in control? He was a dangerous man that everyone longed and hoped for, but no one could have.

And above all.

Its like a puzzle where all of the pieces have already been put in order. Its strange.

Citrinas keen intuition was saying something.

His obsessive attitude and all of the acclaim surrounding Duke Pietro were all a bit odd.

Ill ask again. Use me.

Use you?

Desians reply was concise. But for Citrina, the words caused a huge impact.

She didnt expect the word use to come out of Dels mouth.

Citrina looked at him. Then his red lips drew into a gentle smile.

Looking at Citrina, Desian whispered repeatedly.

Use me as you wish.

With those words, Desian reached out. He slowly rearranged the hair that had fallen in front of Citrinas ear. She could feel his fingertips tracing through her hair little by little.

His touch was cold, giving her the chills.

Instead.

They were facing each other across a small table. So as Desian leaned forward, it was natural for his face to come close.

A whisper trickled between Desians teeth.

Dont use anyone but me.

What?

Thats my condition, Rina.

It was a condition that was hard to find anywhere else. Desian leaned back leisurely.

Even in this tiny room in a small jewelry atelier, the man was as decadent and beautiful as ever.

Citrina asked, avoiding his gaze.

Is that the only condition for wearing my jewelry?

Its a difficult condition, Rina.

It didnt seem difficult at all.

It means that neither your partner nor the person you use can be anyone but me.

Citrina bit her lips. It tasted of blood.

Why was she getting goosebumps on her arms when there is a friendly face and a friendly offer in front of her?

It made no sense.

Nevertheless, Citrina nodded slowly.

What about it?

Desian was smiling with that sweet face.

Yeah. If you help me, Ill reward you.

Citrina slowly nodded her head. Something flickered through his eyes.

Did something change while I was gone, or.

In the confusion, only Desians eyes met her gaze.

She slowly reflected on Desians demeanor four years ago.

And it was then. Aaron opened the door again and rushed in.

Citrina, you said you made this? Didnt you? Will it really make love come true?

In Aarons hand was the blue diamond. His expression was stained with embarrassment.

Why? What if its real?

Ill buy it!

At Aarons serious expression, Citrina burst into giggles with a cheerful face.

Do you really have someone you like? No way, Elaina?

No, that couldnt be.

If Aaron loved Elaina, his attitude wouldnt be so consistent with Citrina.

No, I could just give you a spirit packed full of love.

Oh? How?

Im psychic.

Aarons expression was tinged with surprise. Citrina looked at his face and smiled.

As Aaron glanced between the jewel and Citrinas face several times, Desian slowly rose. It was a smooth movement without any fuss.

A shadow slowly fell over Citrinas face.

My offer, Ill take it that you accept it.

Okay, Del. Ill wait.

Desian smiled gracefully as if he had everything he could desire. He got up and walked out of the door.

Citrina was lucky enough to have the perfect model. But why was she feeling so ambiguous?

Is it just a simple favor or something else.
