Episode 200
Water dripped from her head and body. Elisha's house was a short distance away.
Lucerne took Elisha to her house. Even then, Lucerne's carriage did not appear.
Lucerne's carriage was probably in a staging area near the ship. Elisha couldn't tell him to go there again in her rain.
Enough that she kicked him out right in the rain. She hadn't gotten over him yet.
“It's too wet.”
Lucerne picked up the towel she gave her and wiped her hair.
Her eyes met. Elisha wanted to tell her to stop. But she never let go of her lips.
Emotions were something that Elisha had to look into at the very end. Throughout both lives, Lucerne had too many emotions.
Once it was love, now it was resentment. It was regret, and it was a lingering feeling.
He slowly got closer
“Can I kiss you?”
Lucerne asked. Elisha's lips trembled slightly.
It was the first time he had asked such a thing…….
There was neither affirmation nor denial, but without realizing it, I squeezed Lucerne's collar tightly.
“Ah…….”
The first kiss in a few months was sweet and affectionate. Lucerne's lips touched Elisha's and gently brushed it, and Elisha's legs slowly moved up.
Before anyone knew it, Elisha's back was rubbing against the wall near the entrance. His fingers rubbed against his soft thighs. Elisha felt a thrill running down her spine before she knew it.
“Um…….”
Elisha shook her head and pulled her body away.
“Stop it.”
Looking at him, illogical thoughts take over his head and body. Exhilarating pleasure. He only goes after it. That wasn't right Elisha shook her head.
“No.”
Elisha gently pushed Lucerne's body. But her toes still touched did not come off. Lucerne sat down on a chair by the entrance. Elisha involuntarily leaned over to him.
He was very calm
At the time of their marriage, Lucerne was a person who did not know how to keep his hands off Elisha's body in bed. However, Elisha had never touched Lucerne's hard and beautiful body…….
But at this moment he seemed to be caught in his hand. It seemed that Elisha was in a place where she could be reached at any time. Elisha slowly stroked Lucerne's shoulder.
“Ha…….”
Her lips overlapped again.
“Yeah, yeah…….”
Lucerne bit Elisha's lower lip. Elisha shuddered. Without realizing it, I set my nails on Lucerne's shoulder.
“Ah, ugh…….”
It was hot. It was hot. I wondered what would happen to my head as it was damp.
Then there was the sound of something breaking. Elisha was startled. He broke the handle of the chair that Lucerne was holding onto with only his grip.
'Right now, you're barely holding on……. This person.'
Only then did Elisha take a step back, as if realizing the danger she was in. It was scary.
“Don't be afraid.”
Lucerne's tone seemed to be exerting self-control from the depths of his stomach.
“If you don't like it, don't do it.”
“…….”
“I want to do it right this time. I want to approach you without getting lost…….”
Elisha couldn't believe what she heard. If you want something, you have it. It's Kati. Their, no. Wasn't it Lucerne's way?
“Lucerne. You. It's like someone I don't know. Why…….”
“Because. I still want you so much.”
“…….”
“I can't live without you. Elisha. I'm still in your hands You didn't engrave anything on me It's like I'm tied to you.”
Lucerne whispered. Elisha's body trembled.
She almost killed him. She almost ruined him with the maddening love of a woman. My life, which had been muddy due to a foolish choice, fell further to the bottom. But she loved him. I loved you so much…….
“Lucerne.”
Elisha gasped and said. His big hand was caressing his cheek.
“If you have changed even a little bit. Tell me There should never be any lies. Even a very cruel answer is okay.”
“Tell me.”
“When you interrogate me. Do you remember what I said then Saying that I loved you and wanted to die with you.”
She couldn't remember what she was talking to him about that day and what she was doing. But as if throwing up, she remembered only confessing like that.
Lucerne nodded quietly.
“I'm crazy about unrequited love alone. What if I decide to commit suicide with you? I am ugly woman She's a woman no one wants……. What do you think it would have been like if it had been? You must hate me and hate me, right?”
Lucerne's eyes lit up. His eyes were unintelligible, but many thoughts seemed to pass by.
Elisha thought he might be ignoring or laughing at her own words. But he didn't.
“You still don't know?”
Lucerne moved Elisha's head slightly. After looking her in the eye, she said.
“I told you. I thought it would be okay to go to hell with you.”
“…….”
“I have always been sincere, Elisha.”
Alas, it was. Elisha knew this was not a lie. The man she loved. The man who had visited without fear, wearing only a torn pajama, was such a lunatic, a man born with a bloodline that was always soaked in madness and only love.
'Maybe I've gone crazy too.'
Maybe he was too consumed by this man, he didn't even know. Maybe it's because he's too tied to a mad family.
It's so strange. Elisha thought.
Why? Lucerne's words I just heard felt like salvation.
* * *
Everyday life passed again. Elisha allowed Lucerne a very small gap in her work.
Her Lucerne wanted to see her every week, but Elisha only allowed him to meet her once a month. Lucerne first sent her a telegram to ask when they would meet, and Elisha accepted.
'Is this person really crazy?'
Elisha thought that Lucerne would not accept such an unfair encounter as her authorship. However……. It really happened. Lucerne said he would endure her silence and only see her the way she wanted.
There was nothing special about that quiet encounter. At first, Lucerne came to see Elisha and quietly drank her tea and went back. During that time, Lucerne could see that she couldn't stand it sometimes because she wanted to touch Elisha's body and hug her…….
'To really put up with it.'
When Elisha didn't allow it, he really didn't touch it.
That day was also such a day. Elisha had dinner with Lucerne and slowly drank tea.
“I don't need agents anymore.”
Said Elisha.
“Jacob is dead too. Who would threaten me?”
“I'm in a dispute with the family head.”
Lucerne said while pouring wine into a glass on the table. Before Lucerne came, his people sent the kind of wine Lucerne drinks and other necessary items.
“I don't know if Jacob really died. I don't believe it unless I've seen it with my own eyes.”
“…… Is there any chance that Jacob is still alive?”
“He hasn't been seen pecking his nose in a year, so he's probably dead. He's not capable enough to hide his body perfectly.”
“…….”
“I don't know if he's getting help from someone else.”
“Jacob……. I heard he died on a ship sailing abroad.”
“Okay. He must have boarded the ship he is said to be dead on. A lot of agents saw him in the harbor. But there is a bit of an odd corner.”
I read in the newspaper that Jacob committed suicide by jumping from the boat. Elisha remembered Jacob. He was a cowardly coward. A person like that threw himself into the open sea? As far as Elisha knows, that type of person cannot give up their lives.
“My lord…….”
Elisha said as if she had suddenly remembered something.
“Did the head of the household try to steal Jacob away?”
Lucerne raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Anyway, he's quick-witted and smart.”
His eyes seemed to be loving Elisha.
“It seems that he was trying to preserve his life. It seems to have failed at first.”
“The person who patronized you only after sending you to the battlefield is very lenient towards Jacob.”
Elisha said she was ridiculous.
“Originally, adults say they prefer children who are lacking.”
Lucerne replied casually.
“There is only one grandson left, but you've come to be hated?”
“Okay. But it's self-inflicted.”
Lucerne smiled and said.
“Shouldn't you come back and watch me and the family fight from the front row?”
Lucerne said. Oh, I almost fell for it again. Elisha said with an expressionless expression.
“It doesn't matter.”
Recently, her conversation with him went something like this. Is this peaceful? How do men and women usually communicate?
Elisha didn't know if it was right to have this conversation with a man who didn't know when she would imprison her again. If time passes like this, will the trust he is talking about grow?
“Come here, Elisha.”
Lucerne muttered.
“I still have enemies in the military, so I have to go to the battlefield. Come and kiss me on the cheek.”
“…….”
Elisha stared at him indifferently for a long time. But it seemed like it could be done.
“Why are you worrying, just saying that?”
Lucerne said.
“Well, I'm thinking if I can do it.”
“Who decides that?”
“I'll have to think about that too.”
“Stupid.”
Lucerne said.
“Now just do as you please. Anything.”
Lucerne said. Elisha blinked.
'What kind of trap is this?'
Maybe this man has decided to change his ways. He has come with her new poison to capture her. This poison was the sweetest of all.
Elisha looked at him for a while before kissing her softly on the lips. Her kiss lengthened again.
If you cheat on me this time, I will really kill you. I'll stab you while you sleep. If you think about it, isn't that the easiest way?
