chapter 32
32. Thank you for your permission.
1.
Adele’s side roughly covered my lips with her own, but I didn’t panic too much and closed my eyes and started to focus on the kiss.
At first, it was obviously a kiss that couldn’t have been more fresh than this.
Why should we call it a kiss with a pure feeling that can only come out of cartoons for children? It was just a light kiss where lips touched each other, so the s*xual stimulation wasn’t that great.
Rather, perhaps because of this, I was able to fully focus on the exchange of emotions, which soon became a process of confirming and feeling each other’s love.
Adelena I was very immature as it was the first time for both of us, and I was careful because I was considerate of the other person. To be honest, it was a bit awkward.
But that situation didn’t last long. Like a baby taking its first steps, Adele began to cross the line cautiously.
Adele was much more daring, active, and bold than I thought. One hand of hers was still interlocked with mine, but her other hand was infinitely free.
Adele’s touch, which started from my waist and slowly ran up her neck, running down her spine, gave me a slight tickling yet pleasant goosebumps. Perhaps even if she hadn’t kept her mouth shut, she would have let out her languid breath involuntarily.
While I was enjoying her pleasant drowsiness, I opened my eyes involuntarily at Adele’s actions after she placed her hand on my neck. She sighed, sticking out her tongue, and lightly brushed my lips.
Adele did not close her eyes. Given the circumstances, her lake-clear blue eyes made me feel even more beautiful than usual.
Adele’s lips slowly fall away from me, and the corners of her eyes curve like crescent moons, drawing soft arcs.
“Do you know how anxiously I have been waiting for this moment?”
“Adele…”
Page-
“Shh. Don’t say anything, just listen.”
As soon as I tried to say something to her, she came to her side and kissed her lightly, forcing me to be silent. After that, as if nothing had happened, she continued her words with a soft smile on her face.
“Before I left to go along with your stupid plan, I regretted not doing this a lot. Especially when you almost died… I haven’t been able to convey my feelings properly yet, do you know how I feel when I thought I had to let you go?”
“Ugh!”
Saying that, Adele pinched the scruff of her neck and sneered at her.
“Hmph, this is the punishment for worrying me. To reflect.”
“…I’m sorry.”
“I didn’t mean to hear an apology like that, Luke. It’s just, I’m so glad you’re alive… That’s what I wanted to say.”
Adele, who spoke in a whisper, closed the distance between me and her forehead. Sneaking her eyes shut, she wiggled the fingers of her hand on the side of hers between her pods, as if to confirm that I was alive.
I felt Adele’s sincerity so clearly that every time she tried to say something, her words went down my throat again and again. I thought that her heart that thought of me to that extent was sincere, so I involuntarily put strength into her hand holding her and hers.
After feeling her warmth for a while, I raised her empty hand and placed it on her cheek. Sensing my hand on her own face, Adele opened her eyes, and she smiled and leaned against my hand. Laughter was built on its own as it looked like it would purr like a cat at any moment.
“I love you, Luke.”
Adele let out a light sigh as she said that, removing her face from my hands. And her next sermon.
“But from now on, I will never do anything stupid or dangerous like last time.”
Even the way he was glaring at me with a stern expression seemed cute to me, so it wasn’t convincing at all. Adele must have known very well that there was no way that would be possible in the first place.
“Okay.”
But she didn’t make the mistake of spouting the idea outright. I just thought to myself that I should work a little harder in my personal training from now on.
No matter how much it was, I had no desire to die leaving such a lovely lover.
“Whoa… You listen well, my Luke.”
…But that’s true, a man’s pride can’t tolerate this. I can’t accept treating people like children like this.
“Then, there must be a prize for a child who listens well, right?”
Available. Unconditionally possible.
A while ago, Adele’s charm level, which took her strands towards using short language completely, was exploding to an unmeasurable level. Every single thing she did or said drove me crazy.
I pull her hand on the nape of my neck, and at the same time, Adele is getting closer and closer to me. She closes the distance between her and me, until finally it becomes zero and our lips meet once more.
I don’t know if it’s because of her mood, but my kiss with her tasted like strawberries.
“Chewup…”
But if there is one thing that is different from before, it is that, unlike the first time, Adele’s side explored my lips with her tongue to the point where it felt a bit rough.
Because I didn’t expect it to be that aggressive, my mouth opened without my knowledge. Adele dug in without missing the gap.
“Hahhhhh…”
She majestically launched her aggression, she let out her cute nasal purrs, and proudly declared that she would conquer her mouth. She lightly touches my tongue as if she is exploring with her tap, and she begins to entangle her tongue in earnest.
Stimulated by the strange sensation felt when each other’s tongues touched each other, I also instinctively focused on a dense kiss with her. Adele’s hand moved away from the nape of her neck and was deeply buried in her hair.
The longer the kiss lasted, the more passionately Adele’s tongue was mixed, and I responded with the utmost passion.
As she continued to kiss her, her arm wrapped around Adele’s waist and pulled her tightly into her arms.
In the meantime, I tried to take the initiative once or twice, but to be honest, since both Adele and I are inexperienced, I thought it would be possible enough. Unfortunately, it took me less than 10 seconds to realize that I was mistaken.
“Zhm… Heh heh…”
In the first place, it was next to impossible for me to take the initiative away from Adele. When the switch was turned on, she was like a runaway locomotive that couldn’t stop, but that wasn’t the only reason.
This is… Yes. Basically, the position we were taking could only be seen as unfavorable to me.
I am simply sitting on the bed, but Adele has her body half raised up on her knees with my lower body between her legs. She came to the conclusion that it was impossible to take the initiative away from her as she kissed her as if pressing me down from above her with that posture.
I never gave up because I was being pushed back in my physical abilities. Really.
“Puha… Luke…”
Adele sighs and looks down at me with half-closed eyes, smiling brightly. I never imagined it would feel so irritating to hear her call my name with her long tail.
More than that… I can’t stand it.
“Oops!”
Crossing her soft and pliable lips, this time I lusted after Adele wildly from my side. Embracing the majesty of a triumphant general, I make her territory mine.
“Uhm… Hmmm…”
She was embarrassed for a while as this time she became the victim herself, Adele quickly moved her tongue and began to become immersed in her kiss. However, unlike her moments before, her movements were as passive as those of a shy girl, and because of her cute charm felt from that difference, her strength naturally entered the arms that were hugging her.
She was even a little moved, to be honest. In this situation, if Adele had given her the initiative, the man’s pride would have suffered greatly. Looking at the situation so far, Adele was quite active. Her heart is warmed by the consideration she showed her as she silently follows her as she wants.
But is it because I was too immersed in this situation?
Tack-
“…Hmm.”
“Hot…?!”
“Oh, Father!”
Until the moment my father opened the door and entered, neither I nor Adele did not notice his presence.
It makes my heart flutter like crazy to think that our sword master lady has been concentrating that much.
“So, when are you planning to hold the ceremony?”
It was easy to guess that the two of us’ faces would have turned red at our father’s thoughtlessly thrown words. Because they were embarrassed for nothing, they carefully avoided each other’s gaze, but in the meantime, they couldn’t stop wiggling their interlaced fingers.
Even without looking at it directly, I could guess that she and I were smiling the same way.

“So… I’ve been down for five days.”
As soon as I heard my father’s words, the first thing that came to my mind was how fortunate I was to pay attention to oral hygiene before kissing Adele. When Adele finds out about this later, she won’t be able to stop complimenting her.
“Yes. I heard from Princess Ludmeyer that you were pierced through the heart by that evil traitor, Julius, but for some reason, the wound healed on its own. Neither I nor Princess Ludmeyer had any way to know how that was possible, so I wanted to ask you…”
That’s what I heard. At that time, I thought I was really going to die. How did you survive?
…Could it have something to do with me being the last apostle?
“Judging by the look on your face, it seems that you don’t know exactly what to do. It became. Whatever the process, if you lived, that would have been it.”
To be honest, I was wondering if I could tell my father about the zodiac. But explaining how I became the last apostle is a pain in the ass, and there are still stories to be told separately from Adele…
Okay, let’s decide this after hearing Adele’s opinion first. Adele didn’t seem to be particularly opposed in the current situation.
“We don’t know the exact motive, but since this is an act that the vassal family revealed without any excuse to sever Isvant’s bloodline, a full-scale search and investigation into the Fritz family is underway. As the investigation progresses, quite a few suspicious circumstances are revealed, so there is a high probability that Count Fritz will lose not only the countship given to him by Isvant’s ancestors, but also the title of baron they originally possessed.”
“If there are suspicious circumstances, what are you talking about?”
“After the incident, Count Fritz and his family disappeared without leaving a trace. In addition, it was revealed that he had a fairly close relationship with the Assassination Brigade, and when Count Fritz disappeared, important documents and money were also emptied from the safe, and several items with a religious color of unknown identity were found inside the Fritz mansion. There must be something about it.”
“I see.”
This… Not revealing the existence of the zodiac has become ambiguous. He glanced sideways, but couldn’t find any change in Adele’s expression. Was it something you already knew?
“So, are you feeling better?”
“There doesn’t seem to be a big problem.”
He asked and answered his father, who was looking at me with concern.
“Hmm, but just in case you don’t know. Let’s call the priest and take a look at his physical condition.”
“…I understand.”
Finally… I am finally free from the dreaded paperwork. I haven’t even touched her for a week already, but since she’s unconscious, that’s a no-count.
“I’m sure you’ll get hungry, so I’ll tell you to prepare a simple meal and send it up to this room.”
Since you recently woke up from a fall, you know exactly what I need right now, Dad. This son was moved by his father’s consideration.
“Your Highness, Duke of Isvant…”
“Kuhm. The name sounds a bit harsh. In private, call me father.”
Unlike me, who showed a bad expression at my father’s words, Adele straightened up her normally modest posture, shyly glanced at me, and accepted my father’s request with a smile.
It’s a fox. Here is a fox in human form.
“Well then, father…”
“Kheuheum. Yeah, what happened?”
Father, you are too harsh…
“I’m going to have a meal with you in this room, so that Prince Isvant won’t be hostile… I’d like to ask if it’s okay.”
“Hmm, of course it’s fine. It’s just a wonder how my son got involved with such a kind-hearted girl.”
“Oops… There’s another thing I want to ask your permission for, father.”
“Yes, yes. Feel free to ask Since you are the lifesaver of your son, I will allow you to do anything.”
However, at Adele’s words, not only I but even my father were shocked.
“Even though I am lacking in body, I would like you to allow me to have a formal relationship with your son.”
What is this?
