Lord Baby Runs A Romance Fantasy With Cash [EN]: Chapter 246

Lua Tisha’s cheeks flushed as red as ripe cherries.

Strangely, words failed her.

For some reason, Sidrian didn’t say anything either.

The sound of water flowing, sparkling and clear.

*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh,* the wind rustled through the dense leaves.

Summer sunlight slanted into the gazebo.

Sidrian’s blonde hair shone so brilliantly it hurt the eyes.

*Thump, thump, thump.*

Tension tightened her throat.

It felt like her heart would leap out if she opened her mouth.

At that moment, Sidrian’s head moved slightly.

With that small shift, their lips were close enough to touch—.

“……!”

Lua Tisha reflexively jerked back.

The pounding of her heart echoed like thunder in her ears.

“U, um, first of all, thank you for your help the other day. Because of the explosion, we had to scrap our plans, but if it weren’t for Sid, I wouldn’t have even thought about diverting the crowd.”

Mumble, mumble.

She didn’t even know what she was saying.

Lua Tisha couldn’t bring herself to look at Sidrian and instead approached the table.

She pointlessly tapped and organized the reports, but her fingertips trembled.

‘Idiot! Moron!’

She wanted to bang her forehead against the gazebo pillar.

‘We could have kissed!’

*I have lips too, and I can kiss well!*

It was frustrating.

*If she did, she could give Sid a kiss that would make his lips swell and his eyes glaze over!*

‘But I was too nervous!’

Second life, zero dating experience.

She had read countless romance novels, but all she had actually done was a peck on the lips.

The wall to overcome to get to the real thing was too high.

While Lua Tisha was pointlessly pressing the corner of the document with her finger, Sidrian stood still and watched her from behind.

His expression was uncharacteristically sulky, and his lips were pouting.

Slightly flushed cheeks.

Sidrian’s eyes lingered on Lua Tisha’s ear for a long time.

“…….”

The crescent-shaped ear, visible through the soft pink hair, was bright red.

Sidrian slowly opened his mouth.

“Once a fantasy is shattered, it’s not easily recovered. Who would show reverence and respect to a saintess who is immediately shunned by the crowd upon her inauguration and distorts the truth to blame others?”

At those words, Lua Tisha turned around and looked at Sidrian.

Her face wasn’t without regret, but it was more relieved.

Seeing that, mischief welled up in Sidrian’s stomach.

Lua Tisha, completely oblivious, nodded with a bright face.

“Yeah, that’s right. Liel missed a golden opportunity! And that’s not all. Cracks will slowly start to form among the people around Liel.”

Some feel burdened by the rising price of black gold [a valuable resource in this world], while others feel a sense of superiority.

The nobles who approached Liel didn’t have long-standing relationships from the start.

They were just people who gathered around Liel as a new center.

They subtly competed to curry favor with the saintess.

“I created a gap before the gathered crowd could unite and become solid!”

Lua Tisha smiled brightly.

To be so proud of using such a wicked scheme of sowing discord.

But Sidrian’s lips curled up slightly instead.

‘Kind of cute.’

But the mischief didn’t subside.

No, seeing her immediately focus on work like that, after being in such a mood just a moment ago, made him even more twisted.

Sidrian stood up from the sofa.

“So, did everything go as my master wished?”

“Huh? Yeah.”

Lua Tisha nodded.

For some reason, she felt a strange pressure from Sidrian, who was approaching her.

Lua Tisha reflexively stepped back slightly, but was blocked by the table.

In the meantime, Sidrian came right up to Lua Tisha.

He placed one hand on the table behind Lua Tisha.

Naturally, Sidrian’s upper body leaned in, closing the distance even further.

“Master.”

“U, um?”

“You said you were grateful for my help, right?”

“Yeah…….”

She was answering, but Lua Tisha was completely out of it.

‘C, close……!’

Sidrian smelled so good.

She could feel his hot body temperature even though he wasn’t hugging her.

She didn’t know where to look.

His firm chest and broad shoulders.

A deep collarbone visible through the gap in his clothes.

His masculine neck and jawline were clearly prominent.

Lua Tisha couldn’t bring herself to look at his lips and quickly looked up.

‘Ah…….’

Sidrian’s eyes, looking at her, were definitely…….

He whispered.

“Then I’ll take a reward.”

Sidrian lowered his body.

His fine blonde hair slid down, and their eyes met even closer.

And his lips.

“……!”

Lua Tisha reflexively covered her lips with her palm.

‘Idiot!’

And immediately regretted it.

Why did she cover them!

But it was too late to regret it.

She definitely didn’t dislike it, either then or now.

She wanted to pounce on Sidrian and do this and that to him.

‘But I’m too nervous and embarrassed.’

What if Sid misunderstands that I don’t want to do anything?

Lua Tisha couldn’t take her hand off her lips, nor could she push Sidrian away, and anxiously glanced up at Sidrian.

Sidrian looked down at Lua Tisha in that state, without moving his body.

His lips curved as he saw her reddened nose.

His eyes narrowed slightly and then closed completely.

The next moment.

Hot lips landed on the back of her hand like a brand.

“……!”

Lua Tisha’s eyes widened.

Her lips were on her palm, and Sidrian’s lips were on the back of her hand.

Their lips touched, with her hand in between.

Her toes tingled.

Sidrian’s closed eyelashes were visible so close that her focus blurred.

His long eyelashes fluttered and then slowly moved.

Sidrian’s eyes were revealed between his eyelids.

The two of them kept their lips together, gazing into each other’s eyes for a long time.

It felt like a fleeting moment and an eternity.

Slowly, Sidrian raised his upper body.

Lua Tisha stood still, still covering her lips, until he completely lifted his body and took another step back.

She couldn’t move at all.

It was just the back of her hand.

As if the back of her hand was her lips.

Sidrian’s fingertips touched Lua Tisha’s hand.

Lua Tisha’s fingers twitched and curled.

“It’s red.”

A slightly mischievous smile appeared on Sidrian’s face.

He didn’t say anything more and turned around.

Lua Tisha watched his receding back and then slumped down.

Her legs had given out.

She had already kissed before.

For some reason, her heart fluttered more than when their lips had directly touched.

Lua Tisha pointlessly touched her lips and glared at the back of Sidrian’s head.

‘That, that sly……!’

Look at him shaking people’s hearts like this and slipping away.

‘Are you really a virgin?’

He seems to be much better at push and pull than me, who has a lot of reference material(?).

“…….”

Lua Tisha took her hand off her lips and quietly looked at the back of her hand.

There was no trace of where Sidrian’s lips had touched.

But Lua Tisha knew exactly where it was.

That part was uniquely hot, as if it were burning.

Lua Tisha, who had been looking at her hand for a long time, lowered her head.

Her lips landed exactly where Sidrian’s lips had touched.

Chapter 35. This Man Is My Man!

“Lulu, welcome.”

“Was work hard?”

“Yes, I’m back.”

Duke Paeraton and Marquis Tarenka looked at each other as Lua Tisha mumbled blankly and passed them by.

‘What’s wrong?’

Lua Tisha was walking up the lobby stairs with a somewhat floating attitude.

“……Didn’t Lulu say she was meeting with a working-level person about the waterworks project today? Her expression is strange. I have a bad feeling.”

It wasn’t just a bad feeling, but somehow he felt dirty.

Like a precious treasure was about to be stolen by some rascal…….

Duke Paeraton was about to follow Lua Tisha when Marquis Tarenka grabbed him.

“If you go and pry, she’ll be even more wary. In this case, it’s better to pretend you don’t know and pull some strings behind the scenes.”

Duke Paeraton frowned.

“My daughter doesn’t have anything to be wary of with me.”

“She will now.”

Marquis Tarenka answered firmly, so Duke Paeraton stopped walking for the time being.

He wouldn’t have listened to anyone else, but Marquis Tarenka was a little different.

“How do you know?”

“……I didn’t want to know either. Until some rascal takes my daughter.”

“…….”

The rascal who took Marquis Tarenka’s precious daughter could only quietly shut his mouth.

* * *

“Mama!”

As soon as I opened the door, Nike hugged me.

Hugging Nike, I stroked her head and went into the bedroom.

Nike poked her head out of my arms and asked.

“Mama, are you in a good mood?”

“Huh?”

“Flowers are floating around Mama.”

Flowers?

I looked around me, but of course, there were no flowers floating around.

“I’m in a really good mood. Floating, and my heart is pounding. Hmm, but a little regretful?”

Tilt, tilt.

Nike blinked her big eyes innocently and looked at me.

“W, well, I’m happy because I punished the bad person who bothered Zion.”

“Woong? It’s different from that day? It’s a little more now……. Huh? Mama’s face is red.”

“It’s, it’s because it’s hot!”

I quickly put Nike down.

If I stayed with her any longer, our innocent baby would find out things she should never know.

“Mommy’s going to take a shower. Nike, play with Hermes Jjake.”

“Nike doesn’t like that *hyung* [older brother/male friend].”

I patted Nike’s butt.

“Mommy will play with you later.”

“Okay, I understand. Promise! Nike listens to Mama well. Good girl.”

I chuckled and stroked Nike’s head.

“Our Nike doesn’t have to be good. Whatever you look like, you’re Mommy’s lovely baby.”

Nike purred and rubbed her cheek against my hand before going out of the bedroom.

Even after the door closed, I looked around for a long time before taking out Akitus [her system/interface].

‘The time has finally come.’

My heart was pounding.

I first checked the overdue notifications.
