You Think I Won't Talk?-Chapter 514

"Most are unknown to many..." — With a nice disposition, Zeleskiaz replied, taking the sight away from her to see what her curious one was taking in. — "I believe this one is only known by the Emperors and some of their children..."

"Oh... If so, is it alright for myself to be here? If solely the royal family knows about it..."

"My Lady would learn about it sooner or later."

"... if his highness says so..."

"I am sure of it."

The ticklish emotion his confident sayings provoked only grew the more time their hands were linked tightly together. His insinuations that had slipped thoughtlessly and the wish to feel his warm touch stronger made the lady feel suffocated as impatience became more conscious in her being... more and more... as more time was spent by them walking an unknown path.

’How far is this place he’s taking me to...?’ — She thought while too aware that a hidden place was the corridor in itself; giving discreet glances to the careful man guiding her down the passage as she contemplated on how the time kept on moving and yet her hazard was not settling down. — ’We could simply... here is hidden... it should be fine as well... or not?’

The little glances at the man who only paid attention so her steps would not fail as he guided her started to make the lady fall into deeper ponder, for Marianne was trying to hold back the wishes to bluntly say the thoughts taking her concentration, while also, slowly, starting to catch sight of some green growing down their feet and their ceiling... stumbling shortly after as she noticed the roots emerging in what was becoming a dark marble ground.

"... oh, gosh?!"

"!..."

"Ah... t-thank you..."

"Carefully. Please do not fall now that we are here, my lady." — Holding her delicately, Zeleskiaz caressed the softness of her hands as he made sure her stance was secure. Guiding her gaze towards the magnificent sky the palace hid in its grounds and he had decided to show. — "Do take a look."

"... y-your highness... where is this...?"

"... This is below the resting waterfalls, the columns that go above are water canals and once they reach the sky they make it watery..."

"..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"... is it to your liking, my Lady?"

The intent stare of amazed grey shined as more of the mystic surroundings of dark marble and green creepers going up watery columns to a luminescent sky of water was taken in by the woman, and as she paced further into the centre of it all, she looked at the nervous man waiting for her awe to give a reply. Going back the steps that were making their limbs extend as if about to separate their hands, standing by his side again to embrace the strong arm while leaning on him whispering mesmerized.

"... I love the sight... and more so the company, my prince..."

Marianne’s closure of her lids was the start of a request through her gaze... and mesmerized he also was... too much in love with the woman so close that his every sense exclusively was to fall on her.

Smooth, his hand took the visage that asked its touch in a seemingly innocent lift in wait... and a brief graze came for another more tasteful... finally gaining the affection both sought in a little escape from other’s eyes.

"Mph..." — I heard him puff in struggle to my hand as I pulled him closer... waiting for his hands to wrap around my waist like I so love... and shivering to the feel of the palm taking my shape... confident yet polite... too polite considering how much I wanted its hold to become wild...

’Zeleskiaz... my prince, my suitor... oh hold me closer, please...’ — I begged as I returned the kisses, making my body press against him, so the embrace of his hands learned of my wish to be hugged tighter.

"Huff...mn... m-my lady...fh- p-please, give me a moment..."

"Nn...? Yes...? Why... What is it..." — I puffed dejected, looking at the lips he had taken away from mine as I hated the ability I had to breathe easily again.

"...*gulp*... I hate to say this... yet, we should start our way back..."

Too dazed by the wish to not separate, I heard him gulp down once I puffed at the lips that were about to move further away even while also desireful... meeting his invested gaze that fought the pink in their red and violet... while my hand with little to no force was able to maintain his closeness.

"We have to go back already...? So soon, my prince...?" — Hoping that he would falter as I wanted us to stay here where no soul could see us, I whispered helplessly... entranced by the adorable blush I seemed to have shared upon his manly cheeks and at the sound of his second yet as troubled swallow, I continued to press for us to continue as his suggestion was going against a wish both knew we shared. — "Fh... why... why so soon...? Solely a moment has passed since we arrived here..."

"Y-... yes, however... the servants... soon they will go tend to us at the dining hall... and we should be there so no... s-so no trouble comes to us..." — He stuttered to the caress my hand gave without thought as I appreciated his lovely struggle.

"... If so... why take me somewhere we could not be together for long enough... It is wicked, your highness... what to do..."

"I know, I... I should have thought it better..." — He said, leaning on my temple with the last of forces he could fight this temptation I was purposely holding us to. Telling it to my ear while a kiss on my cheek was also laid with palpable regret in his presence and breath. — "fun... Let us go back for now, Lady Marianne."

"Mm... alright." — I ultimately nodded, pained by the delight of his whisper, looking at the golden white he so handsomely flaunted fall slightly down his high and manly nose that grazed mine by chance... seductive as only himself was without hoping to... while also staring at me adorably so.
