Life As A Tower Maid: Locked Up With The Prince - Chapter 154

Chapter 154

—

Hearing his whisper, I was momentarily at a loss for words.

“…You never said that! And if I knew that it’s because of me, I would have gone—”

“I knew that you would have gone back to the attic, that’s why I didn’t say anything. I just thought that it would be better to saddle you with this guilt.”

Albert replied brazenly. It was so absurd to hear that he even wanted me to feel guilty. How am I supposed to react to this?

Seeing me pout, Albert laughed out loud.

“Haha…”

As if he was watching a child’s antics, his laughter was as clear as a bell. He was so beautiful right now that I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

Like the crescent moon hanging in the night sky, his eyes were curved into soft arcs. And with his voice still mixed with laughter, he spoke.

“You can look forward to it. Now that I’m not bound by any restrictions after the contract is over, look forward to what I have in store for you in a month’s time.”

“……”

“By then, I won’t have to hold back any longer.”

Why, you… Ah, I’m getting scared of what’s going to happen a month later.

It’s clear that the time we’ll have apart had a different meaning for Albert.

With a more serious expression now, he added.

“Use the coming month to preserve your energy. After that, wouldn’t it be your turn to lose sleep?”

It didn’t take long for me to realize what he was insinuating. My heart started pounding violently as my face burned up.

“With that day in mind, I’ll be stopping at just a kiss today.”

The finger that was rubbing my lower lip disappeared. His face drew nearer. I couldn’t even close my eyes.

But Albert stopped with a fraction of an inch between us, our breaths mingling. Leaning towards me, he stared into my eyes. Our foreheads met.

I could see even his individual lashes now.

“Rosé.”

“…What is it?”

At the thought of just how close the distance between us was, my nerves were on edge.

Albert whispered softly.

“I wish to know if you want me, too.”

“……”

“So, once in a while, can’t you tell me what you want with your own lips?”

Now that he mentioned it, it’s always Albert who made the first move.

I always just tried to abide by the terms of our contract. I was afraid that anything I say would remind him of the old Rosé.

I didn’t want him to be wary of me.

But because of this, he might have felt anxious and upset, too.

…Above all however, if Albert asks like this, I have no immunity for this whatsoever. No matter who it was, there’s no person out there who’d be able to resist the beautiful him.

“Please?”

Uncharacteristically pleading, hearing him say this almost made my heart stop.

Seriously. I don’t think my heart would ever be safe every moment I’m with Albert.

As I tried to stop my breaths from hitching, I wrapped my arms around his neck. And I smiled, wanting to emulate the same cool allure he had.

But the corners of my lips didn’t go up smoothly, instead trembling. Albert chuckled.

“I can’t be as cool as you are,” I said.

“You’re more than enough just the way you are.”

He glanced down at me, waiting for me to say it. Eventually, I gulped and opened my lips to speak.

“Please kiss me.”

And as soon as I said that, he covered my lips with his, pushing to enter.

He coveted me like a hungry beast.

I felt my body heating up.

Compared to the hug we shared, this kiss was much longer. Barely giving me time to breathe in the middle, he kissed me again and again and again.

He didn’t stop kissing me until I had to tap on his shoulder while thinking that I couldn’t do it anymore.

“But it wasn’t that long.”

…It wasn’t? The kisses and skinship we shared just kept increasingly getting longer as time passed. What’s at the end of this? I’m scared just thinking about it.

With an expression that clearly made it apparent that he wanted more, his persistent gaze remained directed at me. I mean, it’s the same for me, and I can still feel the heat inside me, but…

Disrupting that thought of mine, Albert let out a long exhale.

“I see that my self-control isn’t all that useless.”

Smirking, Albert rubbed my lower lip again.

“Here.”

He placed something in my hand. I looked down and saw that it was a key.

“…This is…”

“It’s the key to the tower. You need to stop by the tower and take your stuff before you leave, right? You and I are the only ones allowed to go in and out of there.”

A space that was only for the two of us. The tower had become a special place.

I nodded.

“…Are you going to get rid of the tower?”

I asked hesitantly. It crossed my mind that he wouldn’t want to keep it since it was a place where he had some bad memories.

“No. It would be nice to go there with you sometimes.”

“Are you alright with that?”

Wasn’t that a place that Rosteratu made to torment him? I was worried that he was just pretending to be alright just because of me.

Albert was so accustomed to hiding his feelings, that’s why I needed to take a closer look and make sure.

“You gave me good memories though, so I don’t mind it that much.”

Shaking his head, Albert explained slowly. And I examined his expression closely.

If there was any sign that he was only forcing himself, I was going to say that he should just get rid of the tower right away.

…But all that I could see on Albert’s face was utmost sincerity.

This makes me happy.

I’m so glad that I was able to give him good memories in his life.

Although we had some difficulties along the way, I could recall our time at the tower fondly, and I think it’s the same for you.

Now that Rosteratu was gone from this world, we’d only need to settle Blanc’s situation before we could finally live happily together.
