Chapter 494 - A Beauty's Tears
Suddenly, Faelyn launched herself up and sealed her lips with Leon before prying his mouth open and slipping the aphrodisiac pill inside with her soft tongue.
A part of Leon wanted to continue savoring her supple lips, but he knew he would lose himself and commit something he might regret later if it let the aphrodisiac pill take effect.
The aphrodisiac pill melted quickly in Leon's mouth and flowed into his body under Faelyn's wood manipulation.
However, she had underestimated what Leon could do. With his Divine Will, the medicinal essence was quickly gathered back towards his mouth before being absorbed by his body.
After separating from Faelyn, Leon spat out the medicinal essence of the pill to the side before wiping his lips, "Stop being silly, Faelyn. Even if you give your body to me, it will not change anything if I don't want to accept you. Please show yourself some respect."
Hearing this, Faelyn immediately trembled.
Leon was right.
What was the point of giving her body to Leon if he does not accept her as one of his women?
"Then what must I do for you to accept me? Do you not want me? Or am I not good enough?" Faelyn asked as despair gripped her heart.
Her father was a true hero, but the people will never know.
Even so, she had a duty to her people—to carry on what her father would have done. He was undoubtedly a great king, but at the same time, a terrible father.
More and more tears flowed down her cheeks as she recalled what was written in the diary found within the hidden chamber.
Through the diary, she had learned of the secrets hidden underneath the tribe, and at the same time, understood everything her father had done.
She did not have the confidence to continued leading the people alongside the Supreme Elder like her father had secretly entrusted.
However, if it was Leon, she felt like she could entrust everything to him. With her elevated status and Leon's ability, her people would be guaranteed fairness in the new land.
Alas, her plan seemed to have failed. It was flawed, to begin with.
Seeing Faelyn sad, Leon felt uncomfortable in his heart like someone was clenching it. The tears of beauties are hard to bear.
Leon pulled Faelyn up and embraced her before wiping her tears with a sigh, "I do not want to take advantage of your weakness like this. Let us take it slow, shall we? No need to rush into things. How can I have the heart to refuse a beauty such as yourself?"
He felt that if he had followed what Faelyn intended and took her chastity to establish their relationship, something else inside her would also break and create an irreversible rift between them.
"Despite having multiple women, I did not know that you were quite the sentimental and romantic person," Faelyn said with a bright smile hung on her face while tears continued to flow down her cheeks.
Leon continued to wipe Faelyn's tears as he spoke with a light smile, "I do not wish to have a loveless relationship with any of my women. Call me greedy, but I want for all of our feelings to be mutual."
Distance creates disunity, and disunity births conflict. If even the relationship with his women was not good, how could he then expect them to get along with one another?
There would be disharmony and chaos.
"Maybe this is what I like about you," Faelyn smiled while resting her head on Leon's robust chest.
To be honest, she did not know what she liked about Leon. She was just looking for reasons to convince herself that she had feelings for him.
At least, she was starting to believe it had become true as she felt like something had slightly filled the void in her heart.
"What you like about me, huh?" Leon repeated softly, finding it hard to believe.
It would be more believable if she said she admired him instead. Perhaps, she was looking for a new pillar of support in him.
Faelyn suddenly herself away from Leon's embrace before asking, "Did you think I was joking when I said I like you?"
"To be honest, I don't be—" Leon was suddenly stunned silent as he watched Faelyn's wrapped towel loosened and fell, revealing her lustrous twin white peaks.
"Ahhh—!" Faelyn exclaimed while covering herself with her hands, ducking into the water to hide from Leon's prying eyes.
After Leon recovered, he suddenly smiled teasingly, "Where did all the courage you have earlier go?"
"D-Don't look! Th-This is different!" Faelyn quickly grabbed the fallen towel in the bathwater with one hand before wrapping herself.
How can the ice tower remain tall after melting? Her defense was lowered. Naturally, she would not have the same preparedness and determination she had a moment ago.
While Faelyn lowered herself in the bathwater, her line of sight was also aligned with Leon's bulging tent, causing her face to flush with redness.
Leon's expression immediately crumpled with awkwardness before shortly sitting back down in the bathwater.
The two entered a strange silence.
A few moments later, Faelyn asked in a small voice, "Is it painful?"
"What would you do if it is?" Leon responded to her question with another question.
"I… I will help you relieve it!" Faelyn said with gritted teeth after a brief moment of hesitation.
"Oh?" Leon gazed at Faelyn with surprise and studied her blushing expression before asking, "Really? You would really help me relieve it?"
"Y-Yes! A-After all, it became like this because of me." Faelyn stuttered.
"But how will you relieve it? Will you hands, your mouth, or will you use…?" Leon shortly gazed down on her hidden twin peaks.
"H-How vulgar!" Faelyn cried. A moment later, she answered with, "I will use my hands!"
"It's fine, it's fine. I was only teasing you. I can settle this myself." Leon chuckled light for a moment before his expression suddenly turned solemn. "What happened? I want to hear it from you in detail."
Faelyn was distracted and had taken her mind off this matter. But after being reminded by Leon, her expression quickly turned sorrowful once more.
Alas, it was something he had to do. He wanted to learn about what happened, and he could only hear it from Faelyn herself.
Her mind was more stable now.
