Chapter 60
“Since I am a duke, I did receive education regarding the wedding night.”
“…So, you were even educated in that?”
“It was only a rough learning from a book with words and illustrations. Since females usually feel pain their first time…”
The word female slipping from Nox’s lips sounded foreign to Sia. She thought she had grown quite accustomed to this place, but perhaps she hadn’t yet.
While she was lost in thought, Nox quietly looked down at her and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead as he whispered.
“Did it hurt?”
“It did hurt, but…”
Truthfully, she wanted to exaggerate and say it hurt terribly, but seeing the worried look on his face, she couldn’t bring herself to.
“First, let me explain it properly again.”
“Alright.”
It felt absurd to be speaking so seriously while still in such a position, but a conversation was necessary.
“I didn’t even know gods existed in this world. But some mysterious being told me they deliberately brought me here. And then they gave me a choice.”
“…What kind of choice?”
“Since I was brought here without my consent, they said if I wanted, they’d return me to my home world. But if I wished to stay, I could remain here.”
No sooner had her words ended than a chilling grinding sound rang out. She quickly added,
“But I— I said that I like this place!”
“…Truly?”
“Although… to be honest, some things here don’t quite suit my taste…”
“Then tell me what you desire. I will obtain anything for you.”
Seeing how serious his expression was, Sia, unwilling to say something impossible to grant, quickly averted her gaze.
The moment she did, what had been resting quietly within her nudged insistently.
“Ugh.”
“You really are a poor liar. Do you realize you always avert your eyes first when you don’t want to answer?”
“Stop… please…”
At her plea, Nox stilled, then stared at her intently as if to urge her to continue. Ignoring the subtle heat stirring below, Sia went on.
“So I answered that I wanted to visit my home world, just for a while. And that strange being burst out laughing.”
“God laughed?”
“Yes, and then he tried to take me right away. But I felt I should at least let someone know before leaving, so I asked him to return tomorrow night…”
The more he listened, the more tangled Nox’s thoughts became. In all actuality, the only people who had the ability to hear the voice of Initium were priest or paladins with divine power. Anyone with only the faintest power would collapse after barely a word.
“…Then you truly had no intention of leaving for good?”
“How many times do I have to say no!”
Snapping back at him, Sia then met his eyes directly and added,
“Now it’s my turn! Why did you hide that you were Lips? Were you toying with me?”
Her words were sharp, but her eyes were not. Nox caught the faint trace of betrayal and sorrow lingering in her dark gaze. He pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly as he apologized.
“I’m sorry for deceiving you.”
“…So cat werebeasts can even change into a cat form.”
“That’s right.”
“…I see.”
“Most likely, every cat you adored was in truth a werebeast.”
Nestled in his arms, Sia suddenly shoved at his shoulder in shock.
“What?”
“In your home world, it seems that true cats, or rather our animal ancestors, exist. But here, only cat werebeasts do.”
“…What are you saying…”
“Which means the cats you saw must have been werebeasts in their animal form.”
“……”
Sia was left speechless. So all the cats she had fawned over until now… had actually been intelligent werebeasts?
Then, just what had they thought of her?
The shame crept up from the tips of her toes, so strong she wanted to die. She wanted to grab her past self by the collar for doting endlessly on cats with human intelligence.
“It’s alright. I am here now, am I not?”
Bowing her head, Sia covered her face with both hands and muttered,
“Lord Nox… you’re the worst. And anyway, when are you going to take this out!”
Wriggling in embarrassment, wanting to run away, Sia struggled… only for Nox to give a light thrust of his hips.
“Hhngh!”
“It seems last night didn’t trigger heat properly. I must have been lacking, since it was my first time too.”
Heat isn’t something that can simply be forced… Wait. Cat mating…
The words she once half-noticed in a Youtube video flickered through her memory. But before she could lower her arms from her face, Nox was already breathing hotly and driving into her more forcefully. Then, pressing his lips close to her ear, he whispered low,
“Today, I will make sure to bring you to heat, Sia.”
