Chapter 15.2
He didn’t respond.
The Crown Prince, his chest pressed against her back, lowered his head slowly. Draped in a suit, his chest moved rhythmically with the gentle rise and fall of his shallow breaths, their cadence enveloping her from behind and softly caressing the back of her neck.
His warmth sent shivers down her spine.
Starting from the back of her hand and then trailing along her nape.
Devoncia’s long fingers moved deliberately across her knuckles before their hands merged, before her petite hand was enfolded within his palm. The sensation of skin against skin gradually intensified, deepening the warmth at their point of contact.
An unwarranted closeness, a conspicuously blatant touch that couldn’t escape notice…
‘Why?’
What on earth was the reason behind this? She couldn’t fathom the Crown Prince’s intentions.
“Your… Highness? If you could maintain some distance…”
“I need to concentrate.”
Devoncia’s gentle breath tickled Ariel’s ear.
His hand, embracing hers, moved in a slow and fluid manner, his fingers seamlessly intertwining with hers as they locked together before he delicately pulled her closer. Guided and led by his touch, her hand gravitated towards the sphere. Her fingertips threaded through the open loops, finally meeting the circular center.
“….!”
Out of the blue, a tingling sensation shot through Ariel’s hand. Just as she began to wonder if a chill was coursing through her, her fingertips started to tingle.
Perplexed by this sudden sensation, her eyes widened.
Starting from the point where her fingertips had made contact, a reddish hue began to spread across the sphere. The expanding crimson color swirled around the rings, causing the once elegantly gleaming contraption that shone like silver to corrode gradually as if it were being immersed in blood.
Over time, the apparatus, now fully suffused with a deep crimson hue, started to rotate slowly. Spinning in a circular motion with a slight overlap, it turned without making any contact with her hand.
The rings completed about six full revolutions at a leisurely pace before gradually coming to a halt.
“It’s over now.”
While Ariel remained fixated on the rings, Devoncia’s voice broke through in a soft tone. He gently pulled her hand away from the apparatus.
The test had ended in an unexpectedly simple and swift manner.
However, Devoncia’s grasp still lingered on the back of her hand. Almost naturally, their positioning seemed as if he were embracing her. More than the peculiar examination before her, Ariel felt a distinct discomfort from being physically connected to the Crown Prince. She wished to conclude the matter swiftly and depart.
“How long does it take for the results to come out?”
“It might vary depending on the person, so I can’t give a definite answer.”
“Could you at least give me an estimate?”
“Hmm… from a week to a month? It could take even longer than that.”
“Ah, thank you for the explanation. And thank you for conducting the test.”
Her words sped up as if she was being pursued.
“Your Highness, then I’ll be leaving…”
Ariel inhaled sharply, unable to continue her sentence and stopped. It was because the Crown Prince’s fingers had skimmed down from her knuckles and were now gently caressing the fingertips that had touched the sphere.
“It seems like you’re bleeding. Do you want me to stop the bleeding?”
With a slow and languid cadence, accompanied by sighs, Devoncia’s words carried a soothing quality that was adept at coaxing relaxation.
Even though she wasn’t bleeding at all, he persisted in touching her fingertips.
The warmth that spread where their skin met held a strangely tantalizing sensation, heightening her apprehension. His actions and approaches went beyond necessity, which would evoke suspicions about his intentions. His behavior towards her was a clear seduction, much like the time in the garden.
‘…But why?’
Once again, as the questions piled up, Ariel suddenly recalled Skylar.
“You sick b*stard! You’re always screwing with me any way you can!”
He had raised his voice like that in a conversation with the Crown Prince a few days ago. And even back then, the Crown Prince had persistently tried to seduce her by inviting her to his room and suggesting they dine together.
‘No way…?’
