I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart

“I am busy with several projects.
Forget about me wanting to be smarter than you, it’s a joke.
Got it?”

“Okay.”

He’s been pretty decent lately, so he won’t cause an accident.

Instead, Tess leaned on his chin and stared at me.
I felt like my cheek would get punctured by his gaze.
Eventually I gave up.

“What is it? What business do you have?”

“There is something I want to show you.”

We headed to Hill Palace, and my friend with a flushed face held my hand tightly.
I was about to shake off his hand that was holding me, but he grabbed it tight.

Ah, I remembered Tess brushing the back of my hand.
I opened my mouth to keep my face from heating up.

“But Tess.”

“Huh?”

“Why is Hill Palace smaller on the inside than on the outside? It feels narrower in reality than expected from the outside.”

Tess slightly averted my gaze and twitched his lips.
One side of his lips twisted, albeit very slightly.

“Well.”

You don’t want to talk.

“Are you excited about something in Hill Palace?”

“Euseniel will like it too.”

When Tess was excited, nothing good ever happened to me, so I started to get anxious.
I should’ve turned a blind eye until the end.

“Now, look.
No, close your eyes, Euseniel.”

As I stood at the entrance to the backyard of Hill Palace, Tess sneakily tried to cover my eyes.

I’m nervous, nervous, nervous!

“I won’t do anything really weird.
Really.
Promise.
Magic of the oath?”

I almost told him to do it for a moment.
I took a deep breath and calmed my breath.

“… You don’t have to swear.”

“Great.”

Closing my eyes, Tess pulled me slowly.
I know exactly what the garden looks like, but I didn’t point it out.
Although it was funny to see him leading me as if I was seeing it for the first time.

“You can open your eyes now.”

I opened my eyes to Tess’ whispers filled with excitement, and I was speechless.

“This…….”

In the backyard of Hill Palace was a greenhouse made of glass.

“Let’s go in.
This is the door.”

Tess, who got more excited by my reaction, passionately grabbed my hand and dragged me along.
He opened the door and entered, a faint scent gently enveloped me.

A plant taller than my knees had red flowers.

“… Radiata?”

“Yes, it’s Euseniel’s favorite flower.”

I blinked several times, it was really Radiata.

The flower garden, about half the size of the training ground, was quite large, and it took several minutes to go from one end to the end of the greenhouse.

“I mean…….”

Where should I ask first?

Even though glass is used a lot, building a greenhouse would not have been easy.

“Look at the ceiling.
It was quite difficult to make it into a round shape, but the artisans gave it their all.
Enhancement magic, preservation magic… I have cast all the magic that can be cast.
Even if there is hail, it will be fine.”

Because it was a greenhouse, it was certainly very warm inside.
The soil must have been brought from somewhere.

I bent my knees and squatted down.
A strange feeling emanated from the flowers I touched.

“… Did you cast a spell on the flowers too?”

“Yes.
Perpetual preservation magic.”

Should I tell him that flowers are precious because they wither at some point? I don’t think he will uncast the magic even if I say it, so let’s just move on.

Tess also sat down next to me.
He lifted me up and seated me on his lap and held me tight around my waist with his arms.

I began to feel a breath on my neck.

“Then, why is the Radiata all of a sudden?”

“Euseniel will come more often?”

I think I have already been coming regularly these days.

“I see you during sparring and when I come to the library, but… You didn’t come to the library often because you’re busy these days.”

Perhaps reading my thoughts, I realized that Tess had been making excuses for coming to the library.
I usually borrow all the books I need after sparring.

“If there is something Euseniel likes here, you will come more often…….”

I looked at Tess and smiled.

“Thank you, Tess.”

Because we were in a field of red flowers, the flowers blooming on his cheeks were also lively.

“Euseniel.”

“Yes?”

I wanted Tess’ smiling face to come closer, but before I knew it, my mouth was covered.
I opened my mouth like I was taking a deep breath.

The hand that supported the back of my head was also familiar.

“Ung, umm.”

His tongue, which dug under my tongue, rubbed it mercilessly.
The thrilling sensation took possession of me in an instant.
It made me spin around.

As I stretched out my legs and struggled, the arms holding my waist gained more strength.
I hugged Tess’ neck with both hands.

Like he is my lifeline.

“Uungg…….”

It was sweet, it was crazy sweet.

My chest tightened and I felt dizzy as if something was digging into my flesh.

“Ung, uht.”

Feeling strange, I struggled and our lips parted.

“Why, Euseniel.”

“Te, Tess.”

“Huh?”

Tess’s large hand, which had lightly released me, in an instant tugged at the string that held my dress together.
His skilful hands undid my clothes, revealing my immaculate skin.

The arms at my waist were up on my back.

“Are you asking me to touch you?”

I couldn’t say no.
I bit my lip as I watched his thumb and forefinger squeeze the hardened fruit.

 

“Uht.”

But a moaning broke out uncontrollably, and Tess’ neck trembled.

“Oh my, Euseniel.”

He murmured and started to covet my lips again.
Much rougher and more ravenous than before.

His hands were still playing with the flesh, and my feet kicked the floor with every squeeze.
I didn’t know if the flowers would be affected, but I was not in a condition to care about that.

“Haa, haa.”

I was able to breathe only after the tongue that had been teasing my mouth fell off.
Meanwhile, Tess licked my jawline and bit my collarbone.

Surprisingly, the grittiness was accompanied by pleasure, and a moan came out naturally.

Tess, who was stroking my neck with his wet lips, was pulling my dress up to my thigh.

“Te…… !”

Before protesting, his hand, which had dug inside, began caressing the sensitive skin inside my leg.
I heard laughter as I pulled my legs together, wincing at the sweeping palms.
