(EP-110.2) Legacy #1

110 – Demon King’s Legacy #1

Now.

“Why are you pinching my cheeks?”

I asked Mirna, but rather than let go, she asked back.

“How dare you sleep and leave me alone? You’re quite brave, aren’t you?”

Guuuuk-.

She increased her grip on my skin, causing tears to flow down my eyes.

“Hieek…! It will increase…!”

“Heung.”

After an unsightly scream, Mirna eventually let go. Speaking of, Mirna and I were now clothed.

What was the last thing I did?

I might have lost consciousness without any warning.

Did Mirna dress me up?

“How long have I been asleep?”

I massaged my tingly cheek and asked Mirna about the current situation. Although reluctant, Mirna set aside her anger.

“It should be over an hour.”

I slept for that long?

Was I that fatigued? Falling asleep right after ejaculating… Perhaps, it was because I needed to recover the magic power consumed while clearing this dungeon.

Nonetheless, I couldn’t believe I passed out like that. I was ashamed as a man. How pathetic must I have looked in Mirna’s eyes?

Mirna said while taking a glance.

“I thought you died because you didn’t wake up no matter what. Were you planning on making me a widow on our first day of marriage? Go ahead and apologize to me.”

First day of marriage.

Such an unfamiliar phrase didn’t ring any bells to me at all. But then it reminded me of our union, twice. Mirna and I had s£x twice before getting knocked out.

Remembering what just happened, I could feel blood rushing down my face and lower body. It felt so surreal.

So, were Mirna and I married now?

After all, it was just a verbal agreement. There was no contract or paperwork, nor were rings involved. That was why the idea that ‘we’re married’ wasn’t really clicking.

Seuk-.

To test, I reached out towards the back of her hand. If Mirna and I were now indeed a couple, she wouldn’t refuse my touch.

My heart pounded stronger, wondering what to do if she rejected me.

Finally, my hand reached the back of her’s.

“…….”

“…….”

Mirna didn’t reject my touch.

Only then could I say that Mirna Draco was finally mine-! It felt just like being a new couple, gradually expanding the level of skinship.

However, Mirna made her stance clear.

“Even if we’re married, our relationship should be clear, Theo Gospel. The only places you can touch without a need for permission is my hands and feet, understood?”

“Hands and feet?”

“That’s right. And as you’re not yet ready to bear the Draco name, you need to keep our relationship a secret from everyone. Got it?”

‘Keep it a secret from everyone?’

Mirna had put forth the idea of a secret love affair.

It reminded me of the PTSD I had when I was 20 during my freshman year in college. I dated a girl who was quite popular in class.

She said she wanted to keep it a secret that she was going out with me.

Then after getting a new man, she spread rumors to everyone.

It became a part of the reason why I enlisted in the military. That was why when I got back, I was a little thrilled to find out that the girl had been ostracized by everyone for being unethical and immoral.

“Until the day of our formal wedding, we have to keep it a secret from everyone, understood? I won’t repeat myself for the third time.”

Why did Mirna’s question remind me of those days?

Was it because Mirna was suggesting to do the same and she’d also leave me if she found another man, like I was nothing?

Of course, Mirna probably didn’t mean it that way.

She was a devout believer and follower of the church. Naturally, the sudden marriage would cause misunderstandings and troublesome situations.

So Mirna basically told me to keep my mouth shut until the day our wedding was ‘official’.

Her point was logical and reasonable.

And that worked for me.

“I understand.”

However, I still couldn’t help but be a little grumpy because of past events. So I slowly reached out for Mirna’s leg.

Sereukseureuk-.

Then I took off her shoes and massaged her soles.

Mirna’s feet were sleek and smooth. Even though they were wrapped in stockings, both looked and felt pretty.

“…….”

Mirna didn’t show any particular dislike, even though I was touching her feet to my heart’s content. It seemed she was serious about giving me free reign in touching her hands and feet.

Then, as I was rubbing her feet for a while, she suddenly pried her feet out of my hand and said in a low voice.

“… From now on, you need my permission to touch my feet.”

“Why?”

“Don’t ask me random questions…!”

Guuuuk-.

Instead of answering my question, Mirna pulled my cheeks. I felt like I was about to burst into tears from getting my skin stretched.

I didn’t know why, but Mirna appeared to have fun pulling my cheeks.

It was then.

Kwaaaang-. Ureureureureureung.

The secret room we were trapped in started to shake with a rumbling noise. Was there an earthquake?

“What’s going on?”

Mirna quickly got up from her seat and leaned against the wall. But she couldn’t keep her balance on the shaking ground and fell on top of me.

“Are you okay?”

“Hmm…!”

“Huh?”

“You’re touching my chest!”

Oh, right.

No wonder it felt soft…

Just as Mirna and I were arguing.

Kwang-!

A cannon-like noise sounded right next to us, which gave me hearing loss.

At that moment, everything became hazy with the dust and soot spreading about. Finally, a cluster of light leaked in from somewhere, and I could see something like a black silhouette creating a shadow.

It was a person.

A woman with long black hair that was fluttering in the air.

“Theo—, you—.”

Aira seemed to be saying something to me, but my ears were still ringing from the explosion.

Reading her lips, I think it was something like, “Theo, you’re here.”

Finally, I could leave this damned room.

At this time, Mirna also said something to Aira.

“━─.”

“━──.”

Unfortunately, I still couldn’t hear a thing…
