Chapter 1

n“Come here, Rose. You promised to help me.”

nSaid a dazzlingly beautiful man while reaching out to her.

nEven in the darkness with the dimly lit lamp, his beauty remained vivid.

nThe soft and fair platinum blond hair glistened, and the clear emerald eyes were like jewels. The man was as beautiful as a flower in heaven.

nRosenia knew she should never fall in love with this man, but her heart still beat fast.

nGlancing at him, Rosenia timidly took a step closer. Then, a mournful sigh came out of his mouth.

n“Rose, come closer. That’s the only way for us to make contact.”

n“…Can I just hold your hand this time?”

nAs Rosenia hesitated and earnestly asked, his handsome mouth slightly raised, then he spoke.

n“Do you just want to hold hands? Really?”

n

n

n…No, it can’t be. How can she just want to hold hands with someone as beautiful as him?

n‘But, getting any closer with you will be awkward…!’

nBecause he is the main character of this world and she is the younger sister of the villain!

nRosenia couldn’t bring herself to say it and just shook her head.

nSomehow he interpreted her reaction differently, so with a relieved smile, he spoke.

n“Right. I’m glad this is not a one-sided love.”

n“…Huh?”

nDid she hear wrong? Who likes who?

nWhen Rosenia looked at him with her eyes widened, he tilted his head as if confused.

n“You still don’t know? My heart?”

nHe asked her in a disbelieving voice. Rosenia just stared at him dumbfoundedly.

n‘Don’t tell me, you actually mean it?’

n‘Ah, that would be nice.’

n“Rosenia, I like you…”

n‘The last few days, the many nights we shared. All the words you whispered to me during that time…?’

n‘I thought you were just drunk in the moment…?’

n“…I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I didn’t say it carelessly during sex.”

nAs if frustrated, he heaved a sigh. Rosenia absentmindedly blinked, then she came to her senses and asked softly.

n“Then…?”

n“Well?”

n“So, we’re going to talk about sex…do you mean that?”

n“…Talk about sex?”

nSuddenly the atmosphere became as cold as winter.

nWithout realizing it, Rosenia staggered backwards, then he sighed again and stood up.

nThen he approached her and said clearly.

n“Our relationship, Rose.”

n“Uh…”

n“Once we’ve started, there’s no turning back.”

n“That means…”

nAfter approaching her, he grabbed her arms with a wry smile and pulled her in.

nFalling into his arms, Rosenia looked up at him with her eyes wide open.

nPlatinum blond hair as gentle as the moonlight, clear and distinct eyes like the greatest emerald.

nA beautiful man, like a gift from god, looked down at her lovingly and smiled softly.

n“Rose, from now on you’ll continue to bear me.”

n“…”

n“You’ll be mine alone to bear.”

nSlowly lowering his head, he gently kissed her on the cheek. When his lips, which had moved to the side, touched her ears, a warm breath flicked her ears and seeped in.

n“So, I will continue to kiss only you…”

n

n

n“Ah, that place, hm…”

n“And touch you as much as I please.”

nRosenia soon came upon his bluish eyes, which were filled with ecstasy.

nLooking at him like she was possessed, in a very small voice, she spoke.

n“Yes…”

nRosenia replied defeatedly.

nSmiling brightly as if he had heard the answer he wanted, he lowered his head and kissed her. Layer by layer, Rosenia heard the rustling of clothes being removed.

nAs his hand skillfully caressed her, Rosenia shuddered each time his lips sank into her exposed skin.

nLeaving everything to him, she wondered how it turned out like this.

nIt has been 20 years since she was reincarnated into this novel, ‘The Duke’s Lone Companion.’
