At Parvenon where she stayed, Christian really gave Hilise everything she needed.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPeu9sJrJY
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMUvlyRmkA
All of the beautiful, warm, and affectionate things in the world she had ever experienced for the first time were from Christian.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGQWFCUl63
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKoeKt65fC
She was happy enough to tear up.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8vh6ndN9H
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDHB09DiXF
But when she suddenly thought of Inoaden, she felt anxious.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD0QfMCEnn
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDxAGnh9vL
She believed Christian's words that he had obtained her father's permission, but she was still uncomfortable because it was the first time she has been away from the mansion for such a long time.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklY4F31xx8
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm8UsdVFcn
So she hesitated and said that she would stop and return to Inoaden.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPD9MYXtqa
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsE26p1IrY
But Christian, contrary to his promise, did not let Hilise out of the Parvenon.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOxaiyEEYz
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBA2u9kvYa
In fact, she did not know until very later, that he was lying when he said he had obtained Diego's permission.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUyxkVLYJt
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8oQJ24rB4
Naturally, in Inoaden, he somehow tried to bring Hilise back.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hPXCulLgm
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7uLNCYfcw
He had no choice , because without Hilise, he couldn't put Ricardo to be his successor.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKCbLjLRoO
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuW3XRWNND
However, they did not reveal that Hilise had an awakening, and that was rather the cause for the Parvenon to keep Hilise.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooXElDtRxO
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYjIcZjJrH
They offered to speak directly with Hilise, but that was dismissed by Cristian.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNbOeGNk4d
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG8ZNcr27Z
In the process, friction arose between the two families.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUvQZvY4ku
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHmmeGYvT7
Christian didn't tell the anxious Hilise anything, he just said she didn't need to worry.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPWB3EAHxP
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTJGm7W4nU
Then he hid her deeper in his arms. Hilise followed him and closed her eyes and closed her ears. It was like an escape in a sense.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbEQUbd5jQ
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3DOzklhmB
For the first time in her life, Hilise was drunk with the comfort she felt and relied more and more on Christian.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XmQ7YxrVJ
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RpP3yRrQS
It was nice to say that she really devoted her blind affection, as she did with her family.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy5h2oWIV0
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MQjCeuApV
So some time has passed. It wasn't just a separate ceremony, but by that time Christian and Hilise were almost married.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlALJN6stGO
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JfQZa8x11
From that time on, Christian's gaze toward Hilise began to become annoyed little by little.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SRCNlNvhU
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViBV28KoA8
The more she did, the more she looked at Christian's glance, and she acted more cautiously not to go against him, and Christian looked at her as if he was bored with her.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiQwJEbq8d
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat1MEUTUuu
Then one fall night. Hilise couldn't sleep, so she left the room with a gown over her pajamas.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6f2CQwPzP
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcCrrzt28j
As her relationship with Christian wasn't the same for the first time, she began to suffer from insomnia. So, on nights where she couldn't fall asleep so easily, she often went for walks alone.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmh8TM9BvF
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FQDNwMakR
She was so like usual she walked through a quiet hallway and passed through a room that was lit up.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRQKhzMaxW
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh5MZpfZvU
"I can't do this, in a sense, she's more stupid than Gabriel."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf8EqeYjFG
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyezEMPN3Jh
The familiar voice of her heard from within it, and her steps stopped by itself.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1cVEC90Mq
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxODsWwOag
As I glanced through the door where the lights were leaking, I saw Christian sitting with a glass in his hand.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsd8KsQXfC
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmziZiBhXNZ
"Well, it wouldn't change people just because they suddenly had an illusion that they didn't have. Still, I didn't know it would be annoying to this extent."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VxNzmDHge
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuqgbKXXJW
"Isn't she pitiful? She's blinded and devoted to Christian like that. Even if it's annoying, be kind to her."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11FnKEIoPu
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5YUKdfobe
"Even if you don't have the patience, you're giving them all kindly."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit5WlVHzeK
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiFBpRmamI
The sound of adding that I am not a philanthropist(?) struck my heart like a thorn.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu91o5VXbTT
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0sAge3erL
Christian had a cold face that Hilise saw for the first time. Subsequently, his voice was so cold and cold that her heart was completely sinking.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0TuBkN6BP
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs83jduxT9
"If I have a child who has inherited the powers of both sides, we will be able to finish this stupid play early without dragging the sound. These days, whenever I see her face, I'm sick of it, and I want to get rid of it all."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaKeYPf47E
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hsVsvKqyD
Hilise stepped back without knowing it.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8snaakTKN
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPHjRqNdRC
**Clank!1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe8n8VsfVl
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdZzDP6S1E
Then, the gown she was wearing fell to the floor.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qNnolKFrA
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4HKbgGI9w
Even that rang out loud in her quiet hallway. Hilise ran away without knowing what she was trying to get away from.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitNdVQVMRp
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaj1tREwJ2
She then folded her feet and fell.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt21Ihv1Pv
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLz4VJ7Po4
As she looked down her trembling hands because she couldn't get up right away because her strength left her legs, she was heavily breathing and her heart went up and down steeply.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZSaCZ5I6E
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ23OojTCtI
"Hilise?"1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKhyoHOtSx
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvle1IpMOkP
Such a soft voice flew from behind her back. As she turned her head, she saw Christian standing a few steps away.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9A0r6dH4f
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCad6BR7SnA
He stood looking down at her sitting on her floor, holding her head slightly tilted to her side, dressed as lightly as Hilise.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCnEPd1SrZ
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgRjqi6sa3
Christian's hand held a gown that Hilise had dropped off a while ago.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE3RwlyNX8
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ361lOzmrz
Hilise stared up at him, half obscured by her darkness, and held her breath in her silence.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hgxKvnm2T
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6cESkSJe7
Soon, Christian moved from a standstill and approached Hilise.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fie9wbBuf
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zTAKPllJs
"I couldn't sleep again today, it looks like a book I brought alone fall out."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiA5MkmEIQ
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksY6OeesQn
Sitting on one knee on the floor, his hand was still tender, giving Hilise a robe over her shoulder.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkNka7IlJg
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvN0Oh8SOz
"You have to wear warm clothes. What if you catch a cold?"1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeu2BuBeTe
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe6TI3sE2d
The voice in my ears and the face in my eyes were just as gentle as a lamb.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dSr8CeXzu
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQDzSwJkUb
(Could it be that I heard it wrong a little while ago?)1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5RvZAyL2J
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzCTLu3GS6
Or maybe the person in the room wasn't Christian, but someone else who looked like him.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwAPdzrwmY
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7WPdzFLid
Indeed. Even now, the person who touches her with such a gentle touch could never have said the same thing before.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gOCigf7hA
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9IA1lRl7k
However, even though she thought so, Hilise' eyes were shaking without aim.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV0x96nIzp
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL8vXfUJcE
"By the way..."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE56OLg8QC6
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuadENhhTmW
Her Christian, who looked at her up close to her, noticed her agitation so easily.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSdPcTuH3g
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSTZdDPL7v
"Why are you dropping like this?"1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFwt87Jckw
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNZ64Mxzko
As the cold hand holding her gown touched the nape of her neck, Hilise flinched and trembled.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bHoXI1UQz
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OZkg76BhU
"Ah, is that so?"1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5fWSzHHqe
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYecZFMj2BI
Christian, who saw it, murmured like a self-talk by extending the end of the speech a little slowly, as if he knew soon.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvdjz7JvPw
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtbrqr3aId
And she then heard his voice digging through her eardrum, and Hilise felt her heart pounding.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ935tYFlNzP
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaA3TMNyhf
"You heard it all."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lhT4SdLgd
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhTcZsAhIb
A confident, delicate smile rose in front of my eyes.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56IcVZOanY
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wh1RoWtDy
On the other hand, Hilise shook her head in a hurry, seeing the warm red eyes like a piece of ice.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG5UUws9O1
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctKvfpfeEw
"N, no. I didn't hear anything. I really heard nothingㆍㆍㆍ."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEYDWqKFSh
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1tlec1IOY
Christian only watched her Hilise for a while.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d3XzYJZrW
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSsLfmmd1E
Then soon she quietly cried.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20U2jNiKb2
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeOJpmahwe
"I don't want to blame you, so you don't have to be so scared. Actually, the door was deliberately opened."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5h2Aty9KK
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnluth8g6oc
At that moment, she shut her mouth, feeling her heart falling once again.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLoZkudeHc
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuQeBLqMX4
She said she left the door open on purpose in the first place.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b3qKCDDd8
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthCx3MUSzI
(Why would you do that?)1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI1SzM6rWX
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpjUwNAe88
(No way he intentionally trying to tell me?)1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENCB9CBbgo
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM8qPm7PQe
(Why?)1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM1wgAGID9
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VhUFBoyvQ
"It wouldn't have been so silly if you had been upset right now or hit me on the cheek."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6C4j2DKpf
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCK7ADJeEf
There was no emotion in the voice flowing in my ears.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCGylc8uiC
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJwESQFVyY
Christian's face, with his smile completely removed, looked terribly unexpressed.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv14iOT3gb
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GWAQnTaUj
"Hilise."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMVHfiZzXZ
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa238sMDo2I
In that state he whispered to Hilise.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjzCZpSzPQ
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt150csepO7
"I knew, but you're really pathetic."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzaKn9FzNh
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhG674VMqg
With lips that always whispered sweet words to her, this time it tore her heart without hesitation.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Q799k6tb
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIpQU3OBgx
"And I'm stupid. Well, since I'm so stupid, I don't know what's true and what's lying, and I'm going to grab my hand back then."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAUpZYrMY5
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiHKilOlGs
Her enlightenment was only a moment.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtk0yjf3Rt
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dztMDzVX1
Tears from her eyes ran down her pale cheeks.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ52LfoJuK
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdHQAxDQoj
Still a gentle touch slowly swept over it.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27fUB35mrh
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw4uFs2ro5
"Do not cry."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUevhaCxTd
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4rEDr8Tv5
Unless she was an idiot, she had no choice but to notice.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A6l5HO0TZ
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHTiDvdirB
"I'm really annoyed whenever you cry like that."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNaIHnNhvr
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJRAM64S17
The fact that this is what you see now is the truth that Christian brought out in front of her for the first time.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDH2FOWKZ5
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCUFivpERW
"Poor Hilise Inoaden."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjEukgne5g
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL0fUmFA8B
As Christian watched her crying Hilise, he once again added the sweet smile she loved so much to his beautiful face.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuzesKeKja
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVNVbcLbBN
Then he whispered brutally.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzE8oLas7K
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCWwFRaUgH
"But you still love me."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW3owV1QJ4
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlBu0VRXqi
It was just as he said.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAfkGZbQny
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPnWDrAWOo
Hilise still loved Christian, and she couldn't even imagine letting go of his hand.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72yK362q65
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlweCTJn0r1
"Stupid woman."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHn5zajIIg
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RyOsSwAN
Christian bowed her head a little closer to her, wrapping her tears-dropping cheeks on Hilise cheeks.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3cUgEya2N
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFECiRDFoMI
"So you can only have my empty shell."1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2saHkTXfM9
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI76oXFHyKY
A chilly ridicule spread over the lips that touched.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGOjKZaJs3
1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuXjeDAbjn
Unlike the soft touch, it was a cold kiss that felt cold to the inside.1216Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLa23QADHw
