Liv’s eyes widened. The frankness of the phrase “our affairs” by some means tickled her ears. Liv ran her tongue throughout her lips and coughed for no motive.

“Cardinal Calliope and his pilgrimage will likely be visiting quickly. The very last thing you want is for unusual rumors to begin.”

Maybe the Marquis was displeased with Liv’s narrowly spot on remarks. He furrowed his brows.

“Converse clearly about your means.”

“I heard that you simply’ll be welcoming the visitors that can quickly arrive in Buerno, my Lord.”

Liv’s reply led the Marquis’ lips to twist. He seemed to be utterly aggravated now.

“Who stated that? The one who does a background examine on me?”

“No, I heard it by probability after I was educating on the Vendons property.”

“Aha, the Vendons.”

The Marquis, who stated “the Vendons” with an irritated tone, clicked his tongue. Irritation was evident in his furrowed brows. Liv solely lowered her gaze because the environment turned chilly right away. Judging by his response, it was unlikely that the Marquis can be internet hosting the Cardinal and his pilgrims.

Nevertheless, Millian clearly stated that he knew somebody within the pilgrimage. Was this additionally false like the opposite rumors in regards to the Marquis? But when it was actually false, they wouldn’t have informed Baron Vendons to not put together their lodging.

Millian’s story, which she had tried so exhausting to disregard, got here again to thoughts. Girl Malte’s breakup of the century, and the dashing, single Marquis.

Her curiosity swelled up directly.

“I used to be informed that there’s somebody on the pilgrimage who is aware of you.”

The Marquis confirmed a right away response at Liv’s phrases.

“Who that could be?”

Liv might inform instinctively from his response that Millian’s story was true.

In any other case, the Marquis would have lower her off directly, saying no, as an alternative of asking who.

Ah, he actually is aware of somebody.

“I don’t know who precisely…”

There have been many nobles within the pilgrimage, and Millian’s creativeness was near a stretch. Nonetheless, Liv felt her coronary heart dropped simply from discovering out somewhat risk. Liv bit her lip exhausting, feeling her response to be unusual.

She wished to behave nonchalant, however she felt the muscle mass of her eyes preserve contracting. She couldn’t deny that she was curious in regards to the Marquis and Girl Malte’s relationship if he actually knew her.

Feeling bloated as if she had completed the meals she didn’t even eat, Liv considered ingesting the wine when the Marquis requested in a chilly voice.

“Who do you suppose it might be, Instructor?”

“Effectively, perhaps Girl Malte…”

She answered no matter got here to thoughts as she was half misplaced in her ideas, however then out of the blue she heard some noises. Shocked, Liv regarded up and noticed the Marquis put down his cutlery.

“I used to be making an attempt to get you to eat as a result of your stamina is so poor.”

Having taken a sip of his wine and wiped his lips, he muttered to himself. The Marquis, who dropped the serviette subsequent to the desk, received up gracefully and walked over to Liv.

Liv, wanting puzzled, opened her lips to say one thing. Nevertheless, she couldn’t say something.

“Mmph…!”

A scorching tongue invaded by means of her parted lips. It had a robust scent of wine blended on it. The tongue, which entered deep from the get go, swirled throughout her mouth in a considerably tough motion.

It was unattainable for her to maneuver away. First, there was the backrest behind her so she couldn’t pull herself again, and her nape was held in place so she couldn’t transfer her head.

The moist kiss went on for some time. It wasn’t till she was out of breath that the Marquis let go of Liv.

Liv took a breath as quickly as his lips left hers and lifted up her fluttering eyelashes. She might see such a refined arousal within the blue eyes of the person in entrance of her.

“Why did you out of the blue…?”

A sudden kiss on the eating desk as an alternative of occurring with their dialog. That was actually out of the sequence.

As Liv stared on the Marquis with a quizzical look, he pressed on her decrease lip along with his thumb and stated.

“Since you stated one thing cute.”

What does it imply?

She had heard the reply, however she nonetheless couldn’t perceive. Maybe he discovered Liv who stared at him with a clean face to be humorous, the Marquis closed his eyes and drew a smile.

“Don’t fear. I’ve no plan to let in different visitors within the place I fooled round with you.”

Listening to that, Liv’s face turned pale, however then quickly flushed brilliant crimson.

“I-I didn’t ask in that sense…!”
