Chapter 652 – Heart of Fire -3-

“Because I love you! I don’t want to see you get hurt!”

Kitty’s voice echoed across the lake.

So much so that small animals that were hiding stick their heads out.

“Ugh, why aren’t you saying anything…!”

As I looked at Theodore, who had stiffened immediately after confessing, the rising shame overtook me.

Kitty felt that Theodore was mean for not speaking up.

“If you’re going to kick tea, kick it cool!”

His voice, which he pretended to be proud as if it was okay to refuse, was moistened with moisture that had seeped in.

Anyone who hears it will be able to easily tell what kind of condition the girl named Kitty is in.

“I won’t be a bother…”

“···.”

I won’t be bothered even if I get dumped.

That’s what she said, but Kitty couldn’t be sure. Will she be able to give up on herself if Theodore pushes her away?

It seemed like he was sitting in Roman’s mansion waiting for her to meet him by chance.

Saaa───.

The wind rushing from the forest created gentle ripples on the lake.

Theodore, who had been as frozen as a stone, put an end to his thoughts and began to move.

“Whew, that was it.”

He murmurs in an understanding tone and lets out a breath so hot it could be mixed with fire.

Theodore made eye contact with Kitty’s bright eyes.

She reached out her hand and cupped the girl’s face, careful not to hurt her with her sharp nails.

“It’s so hot… It feels like my body will turn into ashes.”

It was something he said to Theodore himself, and it was also a comment on Kitty’s flushed cheeks.

How could he be so bold, how could he say everything he wanted to say, when this delicate body carried a heat that even he could not bear?

As I watched Kitty’s fierceness, a smile came to my face.

“Te, Theodore?”

A smile and a gentle touch that are clearly made while looking at oneself.

Kitty was puzzled but waited for an answer, and Theodore announced in a soft voice.

“It’s okay to be a bother. No, be a bother. Instead, don’t even think about falling off next to me.”

“···!”

“If you think I’m going astray, don’t worry and shoot me sharply. Only you can do this.”

Can I think of it as an answer to a confession?

As Kitty stiffened backwards, Theodore brought her to her knees.

He hugged the girl gently so as not to hurt or break her fragile body.

‘It’s hot. My heart feels like it’s going to explode.’

Is this what it feels like to be a moth jumping into a fire?

The closer Theodore got to Kitty, the more hot he felt about her.

However, she also had a paradoxical awareness of wanting to get closer.

Because the girl holding her breath with tension in her arms… Was unbearably lovely.

It was only after she became clear that she realized.

This was clearly a feeling called love or affection, which is commonly mentioned in the world.

“As the absolute leader of the federal state, she tried to live more freely than anyone else and thought she was living. Even that thought was a shackle.”

“···.”

While I longed to have a power that surpasses common sense and cognition.

She lived by imprisoning me in the mold of the fate of the Yongin people.

‘My eyes were opened. I was wrong from the beginning.’

Breaking free from boundaries that are no different from stereotypes is the beginning of new growth.

Kitty brought that perspective to mind. She clearly taught me what true fire and light are.

This girl fulfilled everything she had been longing for.

“Kitty.”

“Yes, yes!?”

Holding her breath in her arms was the limit.

The girl looked up at Theodore with a red face.

“Kitty said she didn’t want to see me get hurt.”

Nod.

“It’s because I love you.”

I nodded a little slowly out of embarrassment.

When she saw that, she couldn’t bear it.

Theodore hugged her kitty a little tighter. The feeling of happiness that grows just by touching the skin is mysterious.

Haha!!! How amazing this is. I feel happy just listening to it.”

“What about you, Theodore?”

“Hmm?”

“What do you think of me…?”

She makes a loud voice as if she doesn’t want to be the one to be bullied.

Even with her cheek pressed against her chest, she has bold eyes that make you want to listen.

“I never thought a day like this would come in my life.”

“···.”

Does she say she loves me?

Kitty waited for Theodore’s words with a pounding heart.

“Let’s get the ceremony over as soon as possible. I’m afraid someone will reach out.”

“!!!”

Kitty froze because the words exceeded her expectations.

It was a miracle that far exceeded expectations, and the girl had no idea how to react.

“Kitty. Don’t you want to spend your life with me?”

“Oh, no!”

Theodore smiled happily at the simple and clear expression of his will.

“If I had been rejected, I would have died somewhere on the continent.”

From Kitty’s point of view, those words didn’t seem like a joke.

Theodore, who laughed for a while, gave Kitty his warmth and got close enough to exchange her breath.

“Kitty.”

“Yes, yes…!”

Kitty, who sensed something, closed her eyes tightly and put her lips out clumsily.

Theodore did not find the sight funny, but felt his heart pounding more than he could handle.

‘It is truly a scary feeling.’

Theodore has never once hugged or kissed a woman.

She never thought about fitting in the first place.

Anyway, sexual desire subsides after ejaculation, so to him, the female body was like that.

However, it is not like that at all now.

Side! Just by briefly kissing his lips to make a sound, a thrill he had never experienced before took over his entire body.

This is a tingling sensation that is different from Roman’s thunder energy.

“Hmm…”

Kitty touches her lips as if contemplating her senses.

It was clear that she was suffering, wondering if it was a dream.

‘It’s easy to understand because we feel the same way.’

Theodore himself was like that too.

Emotions were being communicated wholeheartedly, and affection was blossoming in its full form.

“Kitty.”

The girl who was dazedly licking her lips raises her head in surprise.

Theodore placed Kitty’s chin on her delicate shoulder and revealed her true feelings in a soft voice.

“I want to hit Roman with this feeling right now. Please allow it.”

*****

Theodore dropped Kitty off at Roman’s mansion.

There is no place as safe as here.

There will be plenty of stories for women to talk about there.

I told them to tell Roman, who was away for a moment to take care of the children.

Theodore arrived at the desert where he clashed with Roman in the past. The desert under the night sky is dark and quiet.

“···.”

Theodore, lying down on the sand, looked at the ceiling of the world and organized his thoughts.

The realization that came to me was not organized, so it was tangled and scattered.

It seemed like it would take quite some time to sort it out.

─ Horned brother!

Meanwhile, Kitty’s face could not be erased.

Are they okay in the mansion? Are they hungry? What are they saying about themselves?

Theodore accepted all of those thoughts without filtering them.

I continue to meditate like that, not meditation.

Rumbling──!!!

The desert night was colored with dark red light and a thunderous roar came out.

‘You’re here.’

Let Theodore stand up.

Qarring! Thunderstruck and Roman appeared.

“Oh?”

Roman showed interest and admiration for Theodore’s new trend.

“I’m sorry for calling you out so late. The kids would be waiting.”

“No problem. I heard things went well with Kitty?”

“Okay. So after this, there won’t be any challenges for a while.”

Roman raised his eyebrows at Theodore’s idealistic change.

I asked a question in the cheerful flow.

“You say it is the fate of the Yongin people to challenge and fight the strong every day?”

“It was a fence that I was trapped in because I did not resist. I will escape from the confines of the destiny that the dragon race was born with.”

“Haha!”

Roman was happy about his friend’s growth.

Now Theodore realized it of his own accord, that dragon race has stepped into transcendence.

“I will go with all my might.”

Roman nods as if telling him to come anytime.

Woooooung──!!

Theodore’s large wings spread, and the heat spread out.

A flame encompassing light and flame flashed from the red scales and horns.

‘It’s pretty hot.’

Roman felt that the heat was on a different level from last time.

After completing preparations, Theodore released all the flames at once.

Roman began to implement the control of space he had shown during his sparring in his own form.

[Opening the mind’s door]

Puhua Aak ─── !!!

The flames extending from Theodore engulfed the space.

Roman read the scenery leisurely.

‘The form itself is still clumsy and unstable.’

Nevertheless, as a federal state, it clearly dominates space.

‘The future is going to be great.’

Roman moved his thunder energy.

I will accept it properly.

[Opening the mind’s door]

Crumbling!!! With a thunderous sound, a dark red thunderbolt stretched out and suppressed Theodore’s flame.

‘What should I do?’

A picture of dominance being reversed in an instant.

Roman wondered how Theodore would deal with this situation.

By the way.

Theodore smiled so brightly that his molars were visible and the heat he was giving off! I cut it off.

“I lost.”

“···What?”

Theodore coolly admits defeat.

Roman’s eyes widened.

Theodore, as usual, did not care about the possibility of victory or anything else. He was a dragon who attacked until his mind was blown.

You can’t help but be surprised that such a person so coolly says he lost.

“I was satisfied because I knew my level. Kitty gets worried if I get hurt.”

“···.”

It was the birth of the Federation’s greatest hero, following Roman, the empire’s greatest hero.
