## Chapter 569 – #117_Sleeping With The Enemy (5)
#569
1.
Beads of sweat trickled down.
A heat that couldn’t be explained by mere warmth.
In the sauna’s sweltering heat, where even taking a deep breath felt like scorching his lungs, Siwoo was, ironically, dripping with cold sweat.
“Hmm…”
Lürie was staring intently at Siwoo’s face, where beads of sweat were forming.
It went without saying that she was also monitoring whether his gaze was shifting towards Dorothy.
Lürie herself knew it was an unsightly display of jealousy.
For someone with her level of charm to be making a fuss over whether a man was looking at someone else’s chest was truly unbecoming.
Moreover, who was the person Lürie was trying to keep in check?
Unlike the foxes of Gehenna, whom she could freely express hostility towards and trample on, Dorothy was a close friend and someone who had brought her many wonderful gifts.
She had already introduced him as the royal consort of the Nukelavi Kingdom.
Furthermore, after boasting about how deeply he was captivated by her charm, it was incredibly embarrassing to openly show a possessive attitude like, ‘Don’t look at other women!!’
Therefore, Lürie was secretly giving Siwoo the eye while also being careful not to let Dorothy notice.
Of course, the perceptive Dorothy was well aware of Lürie’s feelings.
In any case, Lürie’s ironclad marking was a truly nerve-wracking experience for Siwoo.
It wasn’t simply that he wanted to see her in her swimsuit or that resisting the temptation was difficult.
In the cramped sauna, where they would have been sitting knee-to-knee if it were just three inches narrower, it was incredibly difficult not to glance in a certain direction even once.
Moreover, just like how thinking about not picturing a pink elephant makes you picture it, Lürie’s clinging and marking only made him want to look towards Dorothy even more.
“It’s… really hot. I’m going to go wash up a bit.”
Dorothy, who was sitting on the innermost side, got up from her seat.
Since Siwoo was sitting facing Lürie, Dorothy naturally had to pass in front of them to leave.
Whether it was in front or behind, it meant that Dorothy’s bare body would naturally be exposed to Siwoo’s eyes.
Realizing this, Lürie kept blinking and gesturing at Siwoo.
Although he felt wronged since he had never looked at Dorothy with lustful eyes, he played along with Lürie’s tune.
However, Dorothy, who found this situation incredibly amusing, seemed to have no intention of cooperating with Siwoo.
“Oh my~”
Just as he felt Dorothy’s presence passing by right in front of him.
Suddenly, a soft sensation enveloped his entire body.
The unmistakable softness of a woman’s body was rubbing against his skin.
What was pressed against Siwoo’s chest was a heavy breast that felt substantial even when simply resting there.
Her shapely thighs nestled between Siwoo’s thighs, and her arms wrapped around his waist as if she were clinging to a lover.
Siwoo immediately grasped the situation as soon as he opened his eyes and held his breath.
He had already been careful not to breathe through his nose for a while, so there were no mishaps due to his constitution.
More than that, both Dorothy and Siwoo had been enjoying the sauna for about 10 minutes, so they were both drenched in sweat.
The close contact of their skin, which felt cool compared to the indoor air due to the sticky sweat, was reminiscent of the moment when lovers embrace and make eye contact during intense intercourse.
It was a position that was difficult to achieve without intentionally falling on top of or overlapping each other, rather than accidentally falling.
And judging by her sly smile, this was Dorothy’s doing.
Her intentions were clear.
“Eek!”
Lürie’s cartoonish scream came from across the way.
Dorothy didn’t seem to care, as she stared intently into Siwoo’s eyes.
A gaze that seemed to measure desire, yet was full of mischief.
“Excuse me. I was just a little dizzy.”
“I know it’s a lie. Get up quickly.”
“A lie? I have a mouth that can only speak the truth, you know?”
It was obvious that Lürie would be furious, so he tried to get Dorothy away quickly, but she was being too slow.
Because of that, Lürie was approaching faster.
Perhaps in this case too, Siwoo would be the target of her scolding.
He hid a sigh, feeling like he was being played by this pathetic trick again.
“Are you alright?”
However, what Lürie uttered was not a fit of anger caused by childish jealousy.
She didn’t forcefully pull Dorothy away from Siwoo or playfully punch Siwoo.
She simply put her arm under Dorothy’s shoulder and helped her up.
“It sometimes happens when you stay in for too long after a long time. Go and rest.”
Lürie was supporting Dorothy with a worried voice.
Even if she disliked Siwoo showing interest in Dorothy and felt a subtle jealousy, her concern took precedence when her friend collapsed.
Even if she had deactivated her self-defense to enjoy the sauna, a witch’s body wouldn’t be greatly damaged by this level of heat.
“…”
At that moment, Siwoo saw Dorothy’s expression, which was always so relaxed, being layered with an unknown emotion.
It was so tangled and intertwined that he couldn’t read the emotions, like overlapping letters. If he had to summarize it in one word, it would be:
Agitation.
“Oh my~ Thank you, Your Majesty.”
However, as if nothing had happened, Dorothy put on a pure white smile like a mask and willingly entrusted herself to Lürie’s support.
“This is nothing to be thankful for. Go on, go get some fresh air and drink some water, and you’ll feel better.”
2.
After the commotion ended, the three of them shared a refreshing milk and followed Lürie.
It was actually a re-experience of the time when Siwoo had just boarded the Akula.
It meant that he was just following Lürie around as she showed off the various parts of the ship.
Judging by Dorothy’s reaction, there didn’t seem to be any significant changes except for the movie theater, which was the most recent acquisition.
However, neither Siwoo nor Dorothy showed any signs of boredom.
In Dorothy’s case, it was difficult to guess the reason because it was hard to read her true intentions. But Siwoo had a happy smile just by looking at the excited Lürie.
After watching a movie together, the three of them drank heavily, just like the night before.
It seemed like they would be drinking like this until the day Dorothy left.
Eventually, Lürie, who had drunk heavily until she was about to pass out, clung to Siwoo’s side and begged with hazy eyes.
“It’s time to sleep. Take my things to the bedchamber.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Dorothy, you should sleep well too. How about we take a walk in the deep sea tomorrow?”
“Anything is fine with me as long as I’m with Your Majesty~”
After exchanging friendly goodbyes, Lürie was carried on his back to the bedroom.
Her hot breath, heated by the alcohol, tickled his ear, while the subtle scent of sweet chocolate, which they had eaten as a snack, wafted around.
He sat the limp Lürie on the bed and prepared her pajamas, knowing that she would ask him to help her change anyway.
“Siwoo.”
Then, a clear voice came from behind him.
Of course, her pronunciation was still a little slurred, but it was a much clearer tone, not the level of being completely drunk and unable to walk on her own.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
When he turned around, Lürie was blinking her eyes while sitting on the bed.
Indeed, she had drunk much less than yesterday, and it wasn’t even 10 o’clock, so it wasn’t time to sleep yet. It was strange that she was complaining of fatigue so quickly.
There was no way she could have sobered up so quickly in that short amount of time, which meant that she had been pretending to be drunk in the first place.
Lürie wriggled and rubbed her butt against the sheet for no reason.
He had already rolled around in bed with Lürie more than a dozen times.
He knew exactly what her actions, which were creating an uncharacteristic and strange atmosphere, were implying.
“Come here.”
He had to keep an eye on Dorothy to make sure she didn’t do anything foolish, but one of the reasons Lürie had been dissatisfied yesterday was that he hadn’t asked her first before their ‘ordeal’.
He couldn’t just ignore her and go on his way.
Siwoo silently knelt down on one knee in front of Lürie and met her gaze.
“Do you know what you did wrong today?”
It was a question he felt like he had received before.
Back then, it was a question that had made Lürie furious with the wrong answer, but the atmosphere was a little different now.
The reproach itself seemed to be just an excuse, and it was a comfortable atmosphere where any answer would be forgiven.
“I don’t know.”
“Didn’t you look at Dorothy’s body in the bathroom today as if you were licking it?”
“…Was it that bad?”
“Yes. I clearly saw your gaze, which was full of desire.”
Lürie closed her eyes, nodded exaggeratedly, and pouted her lips.
He thought about how many different expressions she could make.
“I understand. Dorothy’s breasts are definitely out of the ordinary. If you’re someone who’s crazy about a woman’s breasts, hips, and butt, you could easily be tempted.”
“I wasn’t tempted though…”
He had definitely looked, but his wariness towards her was too great to feel anything sexual.
In other words, he was just telling the truth, but…
“Tsk…!”
Lürie dismissed Siwoo’s explanation with a tsk.
Considering her behavior of listening to his excuses at least once, he could once again realize that she wasn’t seriously angry, but had another purpose.
“What I’m worried about isn’t your will. Just today, look, Dorothy almost fell in the sauna, and you almost smelled her scent, didn’t you? If you were to become aroused and end up attacking my friend, I would be embarrassed.”
That was the part Siwoo was most careful about.
Meanwhile, Lürie was looking up with her eyes, showing the whites like a puppy that was trying to read the room.
“Moreover, you haven’t been able to release for three days now… You must have a lot of pent-up desire.”
She took a breath as if she was about to say something important, and then continued.
“So as not to be rude to our guest, I will take your desire into my body instead.”
She had added a lot of grand words, but…
Her true intentions were clear.
Siwoo smiled wryly and lowered his body.
It seemed like he would have to indulge Lürie’s whims a little more.
As if she had been waiting for it, Lürie hugged him and pressed her lips against his.
The bittersweet chocolate scent that he had only smelled earlier now intertwined with his tongue.
“Chuuup… Chuyuup…”
Unlike her imposing appearance, Lürie was obediently sucking on his tongue that had entered her mouth, as if she was caressing him.
Her shoulders trembled every time he took off a layer of her clothes, and it was adorable.
Even though she was a proud queen, she became so cute when she got into bed, so Siwoo couldn’t possibly hate her.
