(EP-39.1) Von Lioness #(Interlude)
039 – Elga Von Lioness #(Interlude)
After going through all these shenanigans, I decided to go back to the dormitory with Elga.
“Mirna Draco, that ƅitch! One day, I’ll strip her naƙed in front of everyone and then whip her like a pig...!”
Elga had been like this since the duel got stopped. With boiling unresolved anger, the overheated Elga looked as if she was about to explode.
“I’ll make sure to kill you next time, I swear...!”
If it was the old me, the sight of Elga spouting such evil and atrocious words would have been frightening to watch. Even now, it was still a little scary.
But to be honest, I was feeling something else rather than fear.
Moving forward in her glass shoes, Elga’s slender calves and ankles captivated me. Just moments ago, I had been caressing them...
I got to hold a woman for the first time in my life.
And it was also one of the most beautiful and big-ƅreasted women I’d ever met! I really wanted to brag the fųck out of this!
... But it was not possible to do so.
After all, if the relationship between Elga and me got discovered, things would immediately become complicated in many ways.
“Hey, Theo, that ‘thing’ today has to be kept a secret, okay? Absolutely nothing happened between you and me...”
Elga tried to shut my mouth again.
From my point of view, if Elga said to everyone, “I rolled around with Theo”, my stomach would’ve turned upside down. I was rather lucky to have the situation turn out like this.
It was a relief.
... And yet, a slightly uncomfortable feeling was slowly rising within me.
How should I describe this....
It was like dating a girlfriend, who would not ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ even talk about me to other people or show that she had a boyfriend.
Wasn’t that similar to the situation where people didn’t know that she was my girlfriend because she’d never posted a picture of me or an update on her profile status?
If you asked, “Hey, how long are you going to keep your relationship with me a secret?” She would just say, “You know that if I get a boyfriend, mom and dad will kiII me!”
All the while, your girlfriend’s DMs just kept ringing.
D-ring, D-ring-.
Those who didn’t know anything like classmates and club oppas would keep flirting with your seemingly single girlfriend.
And if you complained about it, she would reply with, “Don’t you trust me?”, and treat you like a narrow-minded person.
Then eventually, the two of you would fight and break up. After a while, the profile of your ex-girlfriend would be updated, saying that she was now dating one of the oppas she’d been chummy with...
No...!
Thinking about it that way made my eyes twitch!
As for how I knew this in detail, it was because the first relationship of the real Theo, aka Lee Seong-eum, ended like that back when he was 20...
I didn’t know if I could describe it as ‘love’, since I wasn’t even allowed to hold hands or have a date...
So when I saw Elga trying to keep our relationship a secret, it reminded me of that unpleasant memory. For some reason, I was starting to get really angry.
“Do you understand? You need to keep it a secret that you were with me... Why aren’t you answering?”
Therefore, I bluntly responded to Elga’s question.
“Are you ashamed of me? Is it because I am an orphan, a former slave and had no family? If I was the only son of some royal family or a great aristocrat, would you have kept this a secret?”
“Hey, what are you talking about? That’s not what I meant. Why is a smart guy like you not getting this?”
Elga looked at me as if I was a weirdo.
I knew why Elga had to do this, yet I couldn’t keep my composure. The memories of my trauma, which had been buried deep inside my head, just kept popping up...
I didn’t expect this to happen.
It was sealed deeply in my mind, so I only thought about that occasionally. But every time it happened, I would kick up the blanket.
