Aria’s Tales - Chapter 30 2.15 Unfallen The Fallen
Lily witnessed in person, what it meant to be domineering. At the start of the war, the devils had suffered from a surprise attack by the armies of mix races – consistingof humans and angels. Who knew how many kingdoms these armies were affiliated with. The devils were at a great disadvantage. Especially since Brand was even stronger than Adounis. But as soon as Shyvva appeared, that initial advantage no longer mattered.
Shyvva, still in human form, released his wings and flew over twenty feet high above the ground. Then, with a lazy wave of his two large wings, he created wind blades that had a homing effect as it chased after the angels and humans. It dodged the devils as if it knew they weren’t the enemies.
There were thousands of screams of agony and bloodcurdling curses that filled the now desert-looking city. The greyish sand, left by pulverized debris, was soaked with the deep colour of blood.
Shyvva had an indifferent look all throughout the ordeal. He was not disturbed by the flood of blood that he was creating. Only when a splash of blood almost dirtied his precious robe had he not dodged, did he finally showed a reaction – it was disgust.
It only took him a few minutes to wipe out the angels and humans. Just a few minutes. However, to the people gawking at this inhumane display of prowess, they felt as if a few years were shaved off of their lives. Shivers went up their spine as they vowed not to offend this dragon. While the devils felt fear, they were also swelling with pride. This dragon was unexpectedly their prince’s friend!
Lily had seen all kinds of people. Shyvvawas not the first, nor was he the worst, to take thousands of lives without batting an eye. But she was still amused. Every time she found someone like Shyvva, she could not help but see the image of her master.
Speaking of Sevianna, she had really gone overboard this time. She hadused a large amount of power to get from the castle to the borders in just a few hours when normally, the journey takes about three days. Then, she was relentlessly using her last bit of magic to heal Adounis. She regretted nothing, but her body was now incredibly weak.
Sevianna was completely immobile while she leaned on Adounis’ embrace. She had not dared to enter deep sleep in fear that Brand, the potential protagonist of the world, might have other tricks right up his sleeve. She was asleep, but if Adounis softly called for her, she would definitely wake up.
Adounis left the aftermath of the fight to the generals and marshalls who “graciously” volunteered. While he ignored their twitching mouths after he ordered them to rebuild the city, he strode towards Shyvva.
Shyvvahad turned back into his dragon form and laid his neck flat on the ground to let his friend ride on his back. Then, he swiftly glided up the sky, leaving the desperately catching up devils to their own.
Sevianna had felt the harsh wind before Adounis stopped it with his barrier. She woke up with blurry vision and raise her head to squint at the oblivious man beside her. When her vision cleared, she saw his handsome face that could win the hearts of millions of girls, up close.
Her cheeks gradually went red as her heart skipped a beat. She had closed her eyes when they kissed before, so it was her first time to see his face in close proximity. She pushed on his hard chest with both hands, intending to escape.
But she was too weak!
Adounis instinctively tightened his hold on Sevianna’s waist when he felt her move back. They were thousands of feet above the ground. What if she fell? He took a look at what was the matter and immediately, his gaze darkened.
The girl had lowered her head, exposing her thick and long eyelashes, while pursing her lips. She must have wanted to hide her blushing cheeks but failed miserably because her entire face had turned all red!
For him to see such an expression on her beautiful face, Adounis could not calm down. Even his lower body had instantly reacted.
He gulped.
“What’s wrong?” He was not able to stop his voice from sounding hoarse.
Sevianna was startled and ended up clutching on his shirt as she had not retrieved her hand yet. “N- Nothing … ?” It was all that she could say.
Adounis didn’t believe it. He pulled her even closer and moved his lips towards her red ears. “I want to hear it clearly.”
“What?” Sevianna asked in a small voice. Her ears were tickling and so was her heart. She knew what he meant, but she was too embarassed to say it again.
“Sevianna~” Adounis continued to torture Sevianna’s ears, even brushing on them lightly with his lips! He decided that if she stubbornly kept acting ignorant, he’ll do more than just the light touch.
Sevianna’s heart almost leapt out of her chest. She moved back a bit and glared straight at Adounis’ teasing eyes. But with her prominent red cheeks, it only made her look even cuter. Adounis’ rationality was fading ever so slightly.
He curled his lips down and widened his eyes – as an added feature, he also tilted his head. “Why not?”
A wild cupid’s arrow had pierced Sevianna’s heart. This devil! She really could not keep a reign over her beating heart. She quickly looked sideways to avoid his gaze and started to appease her heart back to its place.
Has Adounis ever given up?
Nope.
He was as stubborn as a mule.
Since Sevianna had turned sideways, her ears were only a few inches away from his face. He dipped down to kiss the tip of her ears and proceeded to kiss her vulnerable neck as well.
He had not held himself back and sucked on her smooth skin until it was red.
Sevianna rapidly slapped his shoulders in protest. But with her weak state, her slaps were more like patting instead. “A- Adounis!” Her voice had turned hoarse as well.
The poor Shyvva was speechless at this situation. “Hey hey hey~ I understand you can’t wait to eat her up but can please pick the right place?” He said in exasperation. “I’d rather not have you guys do it while sitting on my back alright??” As soon as he said that, he picked up his speed as if he was trying to escape. In a way, he was.
Sevianna’s face couldn’t be redder after hearing his complaints. She finally realized that they were riding on the back of a dragon she didn’t recognize. She had not noticed earlier because she was sitting on Adounis lap. What’s more, they were actually flying over the clouds. And with the sun setting in the background, she would have taken the time to take this moment to heart.
But at the moment, she was distracted by the imprinted soft lips on her neck! She had no time for wonderful sceneries!
“Adounis!” She tried to slap his shoulder again but it was ofno use.
Adounis didn’t seem to listen to her and made another mark right beside the first. He moved back to take a look at his work and was yet to be satisfied, so he went on to make the third.
A moan uncontrollably escaped Sevianna’s lips.
‘Adounis my love ~ I want to roll around too but can we not do it on top of a dragon while flying thousands of feet above the ground?!’
She could only yell this inside her head.
Lily had long covered her ears with her paws and closed her eyes tightly. She had done it briskly as she noticed the familiar lust past through Adounis’ eyes when Sevianna had tried to flee from his arms.
She had seen those dark eyes before. It had been the same eyes that Shen Yan had when he looked at fresh-from-the-shower Mingyan on the previous world!
Adounis licked the three hickies he just made and was busily debating whether he should make another one.
Sevianna finally realized how stubborn her Yan gege was in this world. First, it was the slavery collar that he refused to take off of her. Then, it was when he decided to leave Sevianna at the castle while he went to confront Brand. And now this!
Although Sevianna also had her stubborn side, against someone who was at the highest tier of stubbornness, she found that she couldn’t win.
“Wa- Wait!” She tried to cover Adounis’ mouth when she realized he was about to continue. But Adounis captured both of her hands and placed them on her back – still holding on to them as he kept her in his arms.
Sevianna’s mounds were pressed up against his chest.
She couldn’t take it anymore. “I- I said-” She took a deep breath and finally gave up on resisting.
“I love you.”
Then, she humphed and turned her head away. Her face, once again, dipped in a deep shade of red.
Adounis’ self-control had almost snapped. If not for the fact that he was still a gentleman and didn’t want to take her for the first time out in the open, he would have long ago pushed her down.
The two mounds pressed on his chest, made it even more difficult for him to keep his self-control from breaking.
Adounis held Sevianna’s arms with one hand as he freed the other. He pinched her chin and captured her red lips, instantly taking the chance to take it deeper when she gasped in surprise.
He had forcefully entangled their tongues, and Sevianna could only helplessly let him continue.
Their merged silhouettes were but a tiny speck on top of the majestic dragon. Under the darkening blue sky, they kept their tongues locked as Shyvva soundlessly continued to faithfully do his job. While the sunset was their setting, the poor dragon was their only witness – even though he didn’t ask for this!
Adounis was reluctant to stop. So he only let Sevianna catch her breath before kissing her again. After all, once was never enough.
All the way back to the castle, he chased after her tongue, making even Sevianna and Lily speechless. Shyvva’s eyes grew duller and duller. He now understood what it felt to be the third wheel – almost literally since they were at it on his back as he brought them to Adounis’ castle.
In the end, Sevianna got even weaker. But because of a different reason. She probably had enough strength to walk by herself, but she was too weak to do so. And Adounis was more than happy to carry her … straight to his bedroom.
Gareth was in tears when he saw his two masters coming back home alive. But before he could even speak, Adounis had dashed right passed him and leapt straight to the third floor – where his bedroom was.
A single leaf flew around him in silence as he was left behind. Shyvva had transformed into his human self and patted him lightly on the shoulder. “The guy couldn’t wait to eat his wife. Can you believe they almost did it while riding on top of me?!” He facepalmed as thought about it.
Gareth was stunned. Wife? Master’s wife? Wife! How was it that only a few hours had went by when Miss Sevianna escaped, and they already got married?! What about the wedding reception?! How did the master prepare it so quickly?! Why was I not invited!? He would like to make further emphasis on his last question.
Shyvva had no idea what this little guard’s thoughts were. Although the bitterness he felt as a third wheel remained, he was a little appeased when he saw Gareth’s stunned face.
He sighed. “The little prince had grown up so fast. I wasn’t even invited to the wedding! He should have used the summoning sheet then, and I wouldn’t have minded giving him another!” His expression was filled with longing at the image he projected in his mind of Adounis’ grand wedding.
Neither was I!
Gareth joined in on Shyvva’s daydreaming.
