FreeNovelJust as Jacob mustered up his courage and was ready to greet Sophia, a man’s low voice suddenly came from behind him, “Could you come here, honey?” With that, Sophia turned around to find two men standing behind her. Despite that, there was only one in her eyes as she blushed out of embarrassment. How could he call me ‘honey’ in front of everyone! Still, she greeted Jacob out of courtesy, “Hello, Jacob!” Then, she walked to Arthur's side and held his hands.
Although Jacob looked fine on the outside, he felt like his heart was pricked as it was somewhat uneasy and hard to swallow his feelings.
Is this guy doing this on purpose? Did he show off his superiority in front of me intentionally? Who is this goddamn person? At that moment, he had made up his mind to teach Arthur a lesson.
Clenching his teeth, he thought that he would make this ‘Arnold fella’ pay for his insolence with his blood without exposing himself.

The reason why Jacob was so confident was because he felt that Arthur was not a person from this country even though he had a typical Caucasian look and was speaking their language. Furthermore, there was no prominent family within the country with the surname ‘Arnold’.
Sophia, who was dragged away by Arthur, sat down inside a private room. Thinking that the man might have something important to convey to her, she was suddenly fed a piece of peach by him.
“Try it.” Seeing how enthusiastic he was, she could not reject him and took a bite. “Did you bring me in here just to feed me some fruit?” “You are too stunning tonight. | don‘t want another man to even look at you one more second, so just stay here and be with me,” Arthur conveyed his thoughts straightforwardly.
However, she was a bit dumbfounded at his words. Why does he sound so needy? It was then that another piece of peach appeared in front of her. As she was attracted by the taste of it, she naturally reached to take another bite. Yet, the man suddenly took it away and lowered his head to kiss her.
Sophia’‘s lips were suddenly making contact with his.
Paired with the sweetness of the peach, Arthur nearly could not control himself and did not care about the setting anymore. He did not care whether a banquet was going on outside nor did he care if anyone might stumble upon this scene. All he wanted right then was to have her all to himself.
Sophia obediently laid in his embrace as she greedily absorbed his love at this unknown corner.
While kissing, tears unexpectedly rolled on Sophia‘s face for she felt an unknown sense of bitterness inside.
There was this feeling that no matter how much she loved him, she might lose him someday.

Hence, this kiss awoken her love for him and became a reminder that the deeper she came to love him, the deeper in pain she would be.
Tasting the salty tears, Arthur opened his eyes only to find the girl in his embrace had become teary-eyed. He clumsily wiped her tears before asking, “What's wrong? Did | make you uncomfortable?” “It's not that. While pursing her lips, she turned to face another direction. Although they had been very happy these days like a real couple, there was a nagging feeling inside her heart.
She knew that they would not be together in the end because Martha would never allow her to marry her grandson. So, Sophia decided to forget about this and give her whole heart to him, thinking that she should live as happily as she could for now and cry when she finally lost him.
The more she found herself loved by this man, the more she could not ignore the problem. Now, his love had become like a knife, slowly piercing her heart the more he cherished her.
“Silly. Why are you crying, then?He lowered himself and kissed her lips gently yet passionately while showing a gaze that he had never let any other women seen before.
The cold and distant Arthur from before used to seem like he would never come to love any woman in this world as if no one could ever occupy or flatter his heart...
