The Male Leads Were Stolen By The Extra [EN]: Chapter 103

Startled by the sudden touch, Celonia flinched, but when she met his red eyes, burning with desire for her, she raised her hand.

Naturally, she wanted him too.

Her white hand gently stroked his dark hair.

“Ugh…!”

The moment his lips dug into her neck, a sharp moan escaped her lips.

His lips, moving with small kisses, soon reached her hollow collarbone.

Celonia’s eyelashes fluttered at the dizzying sensation.

She couldn’t forget what had happened today.

The moment she stood at the same height as the Emperor, looking down at the people, the moment everyone showered her with congratulations. The moment she confirmed his feelings once again.

It was something she could never have imagined half a year ago. Tan, not Ian, Reyef, or McRyan, smiled brighter than anyone else below the platform, congratulating her.

She couldn’t possibly not know that his appearance stemmed from his genuine feelings for her.

Tan was genuinely happy about what she accomplished, unlike the three male leads of this world.

How could he do that?

Celonia knew. They had petty pride, and as men, especially as successful men, they inherently believed that she, as a woman, could not surpass them.

Even though they had feelings for her, they didn’t see her as an equal.

The fact that they valued their own honor more could be seen from their participation in the victory ceremony while she was collapsed.

She wasn’t blaming them. Nor was she saying they shouldn’t have gone. But at least, couldn’t they have formally requested to postpone the victory ceremony a little?

They hadn’t even thought of that in the first place. They would never have considered postponing the ceremony where they could receive such high honor because of her, even though she was a colleague who had participated in the subjugation together.

‘Even Father disliked what happened today.’

Celonia recalled her father’s expression in the carriage on the way back.

Her father, who had always supported and approved of anything his daughter did, only said she had worked hard for winning the hunting competition, but didn’t offer any congratulations.

That was probably because a noble lady, who should be elegant, had fiercely won the hunting competition, surpassing all the men.

But why Tan…

“Didn’t you want to win? You wanted to beat Ian.”

As the sensation of soft lips digging into her skin intensified, Celonia stifled a moan and asked.

Then Tan stopped what he was doing.

He lifted his head, taking his lips off her left collarbone, and looked at Celonia with a dazed expression.

His hand was still on her thigh.

“Didn’t you win?”

“No. You could have won yourself.”

“It doesn’t matter. You deserve the highest place.”

“……”

Celonia felt for the first time that she was experiencing a connection of equals. It was an emotion she had never felt from the male leads.

She liked him more and more. This feeling was growing day by day, so much so that it was a little scary.

At that moment, a large hand that had been waiting for a long time moved impatiently. At the same time, the corner of his mouth turned up slyly.

“It’s even better when you’re always on top of me.”

“What…!”

Celonia’s face flushed as she realized the double meaning.

Tan chuckled at the sight. His patience had run out. He had waited long enough. His mind was originally filled with lewd thoughts, only wanting to be with her.

She would be horrified if she knew this fact.

What kind of expression would she make then? Would it be the same as now?

Thinking that, his other hand tucked her long hair behind her ear.

Soon, two pairs of eyes filled with the same desire met at a very close distance.

Celonia looked into his red eyes, shining brightly even in the darkness, and lowered her lips instead of saying ‘thank you’ and ‘I like you’.

The moment Tan devoured her in one breath, as if he would never let go of what came first.

“Ah…!”

His rough breath swept and licked the soft flesh inside her mouth. Even though their lips were touching, he delved deeper, as if endlessly craving her sweet breath.

Saliva mingled in their mouths.

As the extremely sensual, moist sound echoed in her ears, Celonia felt a thrilling sensation all the way to her toes.

It was then.

Tan’s eyes widened as he savored the moment, holding her without being disturbed.

His blurred eyes took on a fierce light.

Sensing that his actions had stopped, Celonia slowly parted her lips.

“Someone’s coming.”

Tan stroked Celonia’s lips and looked out the window.

His touch towards her was gentle, but his eyes glaring out the window were extremely sharp.

He wanted to ignore it, but the energy he felt was clearly coming towards them. Directly towards Celonia.

Tan’s eyes blazed with intense murderous intent, annoyed that he had been disturbed.

“Haa… Who is it?”

Breathing heavily, Celonia looked in the same direction as Tan with slightly dazed eyes.

Nothing could be seen outside the window. Only the draped night existed.

“I’ll go see.”

“No. Let’s go together. It’s my house.”

Sensing an unusual energy, Celonia grabbed Tan’s arm as he tried to step forward, quickly put on her pants, and donned a long, thick coat. She didn’t forget to grab her sword.

Tan had no choice but to wrap his arms around Celonia’s waist and teleported as they were.

In the blink of an eye, the two people, who had been moved outside instead of the room, were standing on the grass next to the road, quite far from the Duke’s mansion gate.

And not far from where they were standing, a staggering silhouette was caught plopping down on the floor.

Next to the silhouette sitting on the floor, another shadow stood tall.

Celonia frowned and concentrated, but it was too dark to see who they were.

“Let’s go see.”

She took Tan’s hand and approached them.

Soon, when their identities were revealed, Celonia’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Celiiaaa… Hiccup!”

It was McRyan, slumped on the floor, completely drunk, and Reyef, looking at him with a pathetic expression.

“Haa. Should I just kill them both?”

Tan muttered with murderous intent in his voice, as if he would kill them both.

Celonia, knowing that his sincerity was due to being disturbed from what happened earlier, chuckled and stepped forward.

“If you keep doing this, I will abandon you.”

Reyef glared at McRyan, who was slumped on the floor, with a disgusted expression.

“Reyef.”

“Ce, Celonia-nim… How…”

Reyef, who turned his head at her call, slurred in surprise, like someone who had seen a ghost.

Even though it was quite far from the Duke’s mansion gate, he seemed surprised that she had come to find him.

“Ah, Grand Duke is here too…”

Reyef’s pupils shook greatly when he saw Tan standing next to her.

Celonia standing with Tan in front of the Duke’s mansion at this late hour.

His heart ached, but Reyef bit his lip and didn’t show it.

“What’s going on? What happened?”

“I’m sorry, Celonia-nim… I was trying to take him to the mansion, but McRyan-nim kept insisting on going to Celonia-nim…”

Reyef trailed off with a slightly reddened face from embarrassment. He was unbearably struggling with this situation, which was against the spirit of chivalry.

“Ugh…”

Celonia covered her nose because of McRyan, who was reeking of alcohol.

She wondered how much he had drunk; McRyan was lying on the street, unable to even support his body.

“Celiiaaa… I’m sorryyy… Hiccup!”

Repeating only these words.

Celonia was puzzled.

Why are these two together?

Given Reyef’s rigid personality, he would have avoided McRyan long ago if he had been drinking to this extent.

“McRyan-nim’s trick has been released.”

“That’s right. I released it.”

“He was very hurt that he didn’t recognize the cunning trick.”

“I guess so. He is a great dragon, after all.”

Celonia stared blankly at McRyan, who was sprawled on the floor.

He drank so much because his pride was greatly hurt by being tricked by Grace. It was absurd.

“He said he had something he needed to say to Celonia-nim.”

“In this state?”

Celonia’s eyebrows twitched. What conversation could they have in this insensible state?

Whether he knew the situation or not, McRyan was lying motionless, making a snoring sound.

“Take him back.”

“Ce, Celonia-nim!”

Reyef hurriedly grabbed her as Celonia was about to turn around without regret.

“McRyan-nim seemed to sincerely want to apologize.”

“……”

“Could you listen to him just once?”

Reyef spoke a little desperately on behalf of McRyan.

He originally didn’t have a good relationship with McRyan, so he had no intention of taking his side like this.

However, since they were caught in and released from the same trick, he couldn’t just let Celonia go like this because he felt that McRyan being ignored would surely be his future.

“Okay.”

Celonia answered without hesitation. There was no reason to refuse.

She was willing to listen if he sincerely apologized. But that didn’t mean they could go back to the old days.

It was too far gone for that.

“Tell him to come to the slum tomorrow morning. If possible, hide his appearance so that he doesn’t stand out to others.”

Celonia, who was contemplating the location, chose the slum. Of course, they couldn’t meet at each other’s mansions.

She would meet the Storm Guild Leader tomorrow, so she would see his face before meeting him.

“Yes. I understand.”

Reyef stood still and watched Celonia’s back as she left without regret. Of course, the sight of her returning with Tan.

He smiled bitterly at the bitter feeling and supported the slumped McRyan.

The next morning.

Celonia, who had finished preparing to go out, went down to the first floor with Ella. The robe to hide her body was well packed in Ella’s bag.

After that incident last night, Celonia returned to her room, healed Tan’s pain at midnight, and sent him back as he was.

She had a hard time sending him back, who kept clinging to her, asking several times if she was really going to let him go back like this.

If she hadn’t sent him back, the atmosphere would probably have…

“Lady, are you okay? Your face is red!”

“Ahem! I’m okay.”

Celonia, embarrassed by Ella’s voice, coughed and quickly turned her head.

She had temporarily lost her mind in the atmosphere, but it was a little dangerous since the place was her room and Tan was secretly visiting.

If possible, wouldn’t it be better to have a place where she wouldn’t be disturbed?

Celonia was smiling awkwardly at herself for thinking such thoughts from the morning when someone called her.

“Celonia.”

It was her father.
