Eduardo Tercero had just left the conference room when old K, who was guarding the door, handed him the action computer, “Your Excellency, Miss Claud just called you. Would you like to call her back?”
Edward the Third picked up the phone and frowned a little, after all this time together, Claud was not the type of girl to call him without asking, calling him today, was it red rain from the sky?
“No, go home.”
Since the call was made from a landline at home, the person should be at home and it would be more direct and effective to say something in person rather than over the phone.
“Okay.”
…
On this side, after Claudio Belles didn’t come by, he guessed that Eduardo Tercero wouldn’t be returning to La Villa Real for at least a while, and now that it was past lunchtime and Julian and Soledad had gone to rest, some of the turnip djinn’s remaining maidens could easily avoid his eyes.
Claudio Belles opened the door to the study without difficulty.
However, she was surprised that Eduardo Tercero had not closed the door to his study, did this mean that Eduardo Tercero really believed her and did not take her for a spy?
There was always a feeling that something was wrong, but the chance was slim and Claudio Belles pushed open the door and gently closed the studio door behind him.
But as soon as the studio door closed, some mechanism was activated and numerous flying knives suddenly shot out against the wall in front of the studio, which Claudio Belles dodged by rolling on the floor.
He lay on the floor and saw all those flying knives embedded firmly in the ground, each one with a full sense of power and a deadly blade.
Eduardo Tercero’s study … really can’t come in casually, it’s killing people by the minute!
Claudio Belles, not daring to make a move, lies down on the floor and scrutinizes the study cautiously, but the mechanisms are too hidden to be found for a while.
When I pushed open the door a moment ago, I touched the mechanism, so I’m afraid this desk in front of me is also untouchable.
The second desk drawer, unlocked, reveals a thin slit, and Claudius Belles sees that it contains important documents.
He was about to take the drawer when the sound of a car engine in the courtyard below.
Oh no, Eduardo Tercero is back!
Claudio Belles had a moment of panic as he swept the floor full of flying knives and then looked at himself unharmed.
He had time to leave now and pretend nothing had happened, but the crime scene in this studio could not be hidden.
If she left the studio at this time, Eduardo Tercero’s suspicions would only increase, but if she didn’t leave …
The sound of firm, approaching footsteps, each one like a step on the tip of Claudio Belles’ heart, his heart beating faster and faster, his body tense and twitching.
Claudio Belles touched a mechanism on the side of the desk just as the study door was pushed open by a pair of long, thin hands.
As soon as Eduardo Tercero pushed the door open, he saw arrows flying out of the wall behind him and heading for Claudio Belles.
Eduardo Tercero lunges for the girl, grabs her tightly in his arms and rolls her several times on the floor.
The arrows, all shot into the thick floor, lay motionless on the ground.
Claudio Belles, lying in Eduardo Tercero’s arms, turned his little face slightly to look at the sharp arrows on the ground, with a cold, fearful glint in his eyes.
Right now, it almost cost him his life.
With her skills, she could naturally dodge those sharp arrows right now, but if Eduardo Tercero saw her, her identity would be revealed, so it was at stake whether Eduardo Tercero would save her or not.
Eduardo Tercero scanned the “mess” on the floor, looked again at the girl lying in his arms and asked in a calm voice, “What are you doing in my study?”
Claudio Belles had thought about the statement before entering the study and Eduardo Tercero’s question was expected, so Claudio Belles took it in stride, “I was just curious, you strictly forbade me to enter your study, but I just wanted to see what was different in there. ”
This is an honest answer, not a lie.
Eduardo Tercero lay on the floor, pulling the girl in his arms closer and closer to him, her chest against his, tightly pressed.
Claudio Belles’ cheeks flushed slightly and he tried to struggle to sit up, but the man’s large hands were so strong around his waist that he couldn’t move, so he had to press himself against the warm male body. “Mr. Edward?”
The man’s dark eyes, bored into her watery ones, “Claud, your heart is beating fast, are you lying?”
“I wasn’t!”
“Then why is your heart beating so fast, hmm?”
Claudio Belles looked at the steady gaze in Eduardo Tercero’s eyes and his heart beat faster, but he also blushed more and stammered, “Eduardo, Mr. Eduardo, you’re hugging me like this, of course… of course my heart will beat faster, and besides…”
The man’s deep gaze fixed on her red lips as they parted and closed, “What?”
“Mr. Edward hug me so tightly I can hardly breathe.”
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the man below him suddenly turned around and pinned the girl in his arms against the floor, looking at her with an aggressive and dangerous gaze. “Is it really because I’m nervous about hugging you?”
The girl clenched her small hands, tilted her little face to one side and bit her red lip, “Mr. Eduardo, I get even more nervous when you do that.
This damn man-on-woman position … who can’t be nervous!
Edward the Third stared at the pale, scarlet face of the girl beneath him, a flawless little melon face, like a peeled egg, whose pores were invisible even standing so close, only the tiny white hairs on her face were visible, making her skin even softer.
The lump in the man’s protruding throat rolled, and his long fingers cupped the girl’s chin, turning her pretty, lively little face to look directly into his eyes.
“Would it be more tense if Master kissed you?”
“…” Well.
The lips were gagged.
One of the man’s large hands was pressed against her heart, feeling the rhythm of her heartbeat.
Pfft pfft pfft pfft … very fast and furious, in fact … he was more nervous.
Edward the Third felt, inexplicably, tingly.
Damn, I just wanted to test her, but I got angry!
Claudio Belles reacted by reaching out and trying to push away the man pressing against her, but he overpowered her, lifting her hands above her head and capturing them in a deeper kiss.
Claudius Belles, however mentally strong, was no more than an eighteen-year-old girl, especially when the man who had pressed himself against her and forced himself to kiss her was a handsome, mature male, with fucking charm everywhere, and his face, growing redder and redder, followed her neck.
When she was out of breath, Edward the Third released her lips, purposely biting them as he went.
A little pain.
The girl lying on the floor, her watery eyes clouded by a thin layer of enchantment, Claud gasped as if aggrieved, “Mr. Eduardo, you’re hurting me.”
Edward the Third rose from her, looked at the flying knives and sharp arrows on the ground, took a deep breath and held out his hand to her.
The girl stroked her lips and placed her small hand in the man’s broad, dry palm. Eduardo Tercero pulled her close and clasped her in his arms, Claudio Belles was unprepared, his slender body wobbled and the two of them were pinned to the bookshelf behind him with a disheveled gait.
The girl’s hands rested behind her back, tightly clasped in a knot, her watery eyes widened as she looked up at the tall man towering over her.
“What are you, what are you doing?”
