Chapter 48 – The Day Of The Violet Full Moon (3)

“You’re slower than I expected, Priest Yurian.”

It was ‘Lilia’ who slowly descended the stairs. Just like when they first met, she was the image of an alluring woman.

“I suppose so. I’m a bit late, Priestess Lilia.”

The only thing different from last time was her attire. Instead of a simple priest’s robe, Lilia was wearing a flamboyant dress, exuding a captivating charm that made it impossible to look away as she slowly descended.

With each step down the stairs, her flowing violet hair shimmered like silk, and her clear, jewel-like violet eyes and flawless, smooth white skin accentuated her perfect beauty.

A familiar scent wafted from Lilia as she approached. That scent brought back memories of the last time. Back then, it was definitely…

“Is your foot alright now?”
“Hehe. Of course. A kind gentleman took care of it personally.”

In his mind, he summoned the status window and overlaid it on Lilia’s face. Just in case, he should prepare.

Lilia, who had approached gracefully, touched his shoulder lightly with a fluid motion and then slowly circled around him. Every one of her actions drew his attention. His heightened senses picked up on Lilia’s breathing, her soft footsteps, and the rustling of her dress, focusing all his attention on her.

Lilia’s touch, which had started at his shoulder, traced down his back, brushed his other shoulder, and then gently landed on his chest.

“Heartbeat.”
“…What?”
“I can hear your heartbeat. It’s fast and strong.”

Her white hand rested lightly on his clothes. Even though it was just resting there, it felt as if Lilia’s hand was touching his bare chest through the thin fabric. That small action alone sent a surge of heat through his body, making him feel flushed.

Was it because of the intense heat? Every time her plump, red lips parted, revealing a glimpse of her red tongue, his heart pounded as if it would burst.
…Just as he thought. The status window overlaid on Lilia’s face was changing in real-time.
