His hands that were grabbing my wrists loosened for a moment.
Knox, who was still trapping me, grabbed my head and turned it side to side. After observing my face, I noticed the discomfort in his face had returned. He frowned, and then applied strength to his once loosened grip. Seeing his face that had been lit by the moonlight, brought back my initial fear of him.
“Where… on earth… is this place?”2
At that moment, we locked eyes.
‘No way, was this the first time he had ever woken up at night?’
I was not sure whether it was because he slept a lot or other reasons but now, Knox, who apparently only just became aware of his situation, seemed confused.
Come to think of it, he was too quiet during the night. If he had woken up at least once during the night, wouldn’t he have made some noise?
Then there’s the other thing. These past few days, Knox had been falling asleep in the evening. Once the door to his room was shut, he had never woken up until we fell asleep as well.
Even though I was supposed to make him go to sleep early on purpose, my sister was never suspicious because Knox was already unusually tired. Plus, in the morning, Knox would be the one running to wake us up. So, that means we had never seen him waking up before.
“Why don’t I remember anything…?”
The moment I heard that deep voice, I realised something.
‘Wait, so he doesn’t have any memories of being in his child form?’
Forgetting my fear, I opened my mouth.
“Y-you’ve been sleeping soundly this whole time. So I just came to check whether you were still sleeping well.”
The half-naked man in front of me was dazed. Being pinned down by him was quite embarrassing but, at that moment, I couldn’t care less about it.
The fear I had in the beginning hadn’t faded in the slightest but I believed thinking about what I should do in this situation came first.
His hand was still grabbing onto one of my arms and I didn’t think he believed me when I said I was the owner of this place.
“How about you let me go for now?…”
In the novel, Knox got caught in his adult form by the woman who saved him. Other than a few house staff and the knights, my sister had been the first stranger to find out about his curse.
Considering all the times he, who had not been loved before and didn’t understand love, first received love and learned to be considerate and understanding, I can only imagine how precious my sister must have been to Knox.
“You’re a person I don’t know. How can I believe you and let you go?”
It was no wonder that he, who hasn’t learned anything about love, would growl like a beast and act tough in front of others. Rather, since I already know all of the cruel things he had done before from the novel, the fact that this reaction was milder made me grateful.
“Where is this?”
“My house…”
“I’m talking about the exact location.”
Seeing him slowly approach me, I was surprised. He was like a beast who had already eaten his fill but spotted new prey in front of him.
My sister was the one who brought you here. I resisted the urge to say that. In the meantime, Knox began speaking first.
“I’m going to wait and see whether or not whatever you said was the truth.”
…What? I desperately tried to figure out what he meant as his words echoed in my head. No. I mean, wait. My eyes widened and flicked up to meet his.
So you mean to say I would have to spend the night together? With him?
“Wait and see… sir?”
Still holding my hand, Knox looked at me without any expression. Easily, from the purple eyes that were looking at me, I could tell he noticed my worries.
“In my current situation, I need a basis to judge whether or not you are someone who had been sent to harass me.”
“I’m innocent…”
“…”
Yup, I went too far.
T/N:
I really hope they speak to each other more often because translating descriptions hurt my eyes ㅜㅜ
