The Great Vampire General is a Girl! - Chapter 90

Raphael was silent, if he did it means he cheated on his wife on purpose. He didn’t know if he would be willing to kiss another woman when he was awake? However, Ivanka had her first intimate interaction with Raphael. Worse, Raphael didn’t notice when he did it.

He couldn’t pretend it never happened. Ivanka was a lady, and Raphael knew that she wasn’t a woman used to touching men. Ivanka was clumsy, nervous and doubtful. Her body language now reminded him of Valerie. He knew the expression of a girl when she first lost her innocence.

“Would you have the heart to let me reminisce about my first kiss with someone who didn’t think about me at all when he did? It makes me feel stupid and pitiful,” Ivanka showed a sad expression, Raphael was sure that her tears were about to spill at this point. But the girl still said it in a haughty and commanding tone.

“I can’t do it,” Raphael shook his head regretfully.

“I’m a married man, I don’t want to do that with another woman. Everything that happened earlier was a mistake that we both didn’t mean to do,” Raphael evaded. Now his tone returned to being formal to Ivanka.

It didn’t matter, whether he married his current wife out of an arranged marriage or for sheer interest— he was still a husband. He had promised to cherish his marriage to Valerie and they both agreed not to glance at other men or women.

It has been a tough day since her being temporarily separated from Valerie. Their honeymoon had to be stopped because of a one-sided wish from Valerie. Even though Raphael had just enjoyed the start of his marriage. He went through lonely nights but he didn’t think about venting his desires with other women.

Ivanka was silent, she realized that this situation was very embarrassing for her. She demands someone with whom she had no romantic relationship to kiss. Ivanka cursed herself. To what extent was she willing to embarrass herself? The man clearly refused.

“You’re right, it was an accident..I shouldn’t burden you with that,” Ivanka lowered her head, she was disappointed in her current situation, especially with herself.

The girl then walked faster. Before she finally stopped walking because she remembered something. Why should she give up? Would she forget everything that happened including her feelings? Ivanka had never been interested in any man before but now. That means, she probably won’t find another man who could make her feel the same way.

“But—” Ivanka started her sentence doubtfully.

“I’m not someone who can ignore this as if nothing happened,” Ivanka said.

“My Lady,” Raphael shook his head sadly. He often rejects women. But this time the situation was different. They had kissed, and Raphael still remembered the feeling of her skin and the warmth of her body even though he was half conscious.

That was why Raphael had been hard on himself all this time. He was not willing to touch women easily, although in the circle of knights, sex outside of marriage was common. Raphael was a wary person. He worried that at any time he could accidentally get someone pregnant or get involved in an exhausting romantic drama. For him, the military was the number one priority in his life. Apart from Valerie, he wasn’t willing to touch any other girl.

His worries were confirmed. Just because of an accidental kiss, his relationship with Ivanka became awkward. Raphael wasn’t too innocent to realize that she might be starting to have a crush on him. Raphael knew he was quite attractive and somehow, the womens easily liked him.

Ivanka endured her embarrassment, and decided to follow her heart. What if Raphael was her destiny? What if their meeting was not a coincidence? Ivanka didn’t want to give up without fighting. She had already decided. She would make Raphael her own.

“I like you quite a bit, sir Raphael,” Ivanka confessed.

“I probably won’t be able to sleep well thinking about all that has happened between the two of us,” Ivanka said again.

“Again, my lady, I’m married,” Raphael bowed slightly regretfully.

“If you weren’t married, would you consider me?” Ivanka asked a little awkwardly.

Ivanka, no less beautiful than Valerie. She was taller, with beautiful straight black hair. Her face was also beautiful, and was emphasized by a bright red lip blush. Raphael didn’t want to compare the two of them. But, if he didn’t know Valerie, he might be willing to date Ivanka. However, he was not a greedy man. As a normal man, of course he could once or twice admire another woman’s physique. But Raphael never approached girls just because they were beautiful or for the purpose of having fun.

Seeing Raphael who didn’t respond immediately, Ivanka caught doubt in his eyes. Raphael was probably like most nobles who marry because of family pressure or because of mutual interests.

Ivanka smiled, meaning she had a chance. The girl looked into his eyes and held the end of his arm. She made a slightly seductive gesture this time, and flashed a smile that was still alluring even though she was dirty from the snake’s entrails.

“You have a lot to gain from dating me, sir Raphael,” Ivanka smiled at him.

“My lady, I won’t,” Raphael shook his head weakly. Even in her current disheveled, weak and injured state, the girl was still attractive.

“You will attain a high position in the military, you will receive all the wealth and pride. Besides, don’t you value Florentia’s victory above all else?” Ivanka said in a persuasive tone.

“Sure, but what does all that have to do with our problem?”

“Aren’t you wondering how I got hold of the secret journals belonging to the Avalon scientists?” Ivanka said.

“Because you’re related to them, perhaps?”

“Moreover, I can be a spy for you..I can even tell you the weakness of king Dimitri Avalon,” said Ivanka. This immediately sparked high curiosity for Raphael.

“How do you do that?” Raphael was a bit defiant.

“Because I am Ivanka Rion Avalonian…I’m a princess, the biological daughter of King Dimitri,” said Ivanka again while enjoying the commander’s surprised expression.
