Otome Shuraba: The villain heartthrob refuses to flirt

Chapter 25: Neither humble nor arrogant, dare to take responsibility

Faced with the woman's suspicion, Rodis continued to rub his hands gently, but his eyes dropped lower.

He did not answer Erin's question directly, but confessed another matter on his own.

"Erin, I'm sorry. I lied to you."

The sudden apology made Irene look slightly startled.

I still know my favorite male protagonist.

According to Rodis's magnanimous character, if one could say "lying", it would be the night before.

"So you admit that it was no accident that you appeared in our master's office a few days ago." Irene raised her eyebrows and joked.

Rodis's red eyes flashed with a trace of unnaturalness, but he still nodded and replied:

"Yes, since you helped me lift the charm, I have read a lot of secret documents about the dragon's bloodline.

"I went to the underground forbidden room of the ancient house, where I released the dragon blood in myself.

"Irene, I'm sorry, I wronged you.

"So that night, I wanted to apologize to you, but I saw three men on your bed. I...

The sudden stop aroused Eileen's curiosity, and she asked:

"Huh? What are you?"

The strength of Rodis' palm paused slightly, and the auricles under his silver hair began to turn slightly red.

He still didn't answer. He looked around and said:

"Then, Kaloi also entered your room, and I saw everything that happened between you two.

"Later, when you were twitching and screaming, I really wanted to help you.

"But I don't know why. Your room seems to have a barrier and I can't enter it at all."

After hearing what Rodis said, Irene secretly muttered in her heart——

Of course you can't get in.

That's the main mission that I wrote down with my money. How could the system let you go in and disrupt the mission process?

"So Eileen, after I heard what Miss Mabel said today, I broke into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion privately without taking off my armor. It was indeed disrespectful.

"But I'm definitely not here to accuse you, and I'm even less likely to scold you for being ignorant like Sean did.

"I'm really scared, I'm afraid you'll be crying in pain like that night, I'm afraid you'll be as weak and weak as that night.

"I'm afraid that your legs will be weak and you'll fall down, or you'll be injured by Caroly. I'm really worried about you..."

Rodis' low and hoarse voice was filled with sincerity, which made Irene's heart freeze.

Her beautiful eyes were round and round, and her voice stuttered: "You, what did you say? Are you...not bad in your mind?

"This is not like you. Normally, you either treat me with precious words or make sarcastic remarks to me.

"What happened today? Why did you say so many words to me, and they were... love words?"

A "love word" made Rodis, who was usually calm and calm, blush.

"It's just the truth." Rodis pursed his lips and coughed twice, and then said:

"I have a somewhat cold personality and seldom talk, but I found that if some things are not explained clearly, there will be too many misunderstandings between us."

"Irene..." Rodis whispered her name, his tone trembling:

"I will not break off the engagement with you, nor do I regard marriage as a means to make up for you.

"And I agree with what you said - getting married is about staying with the person you love for the rest of your life."

"do you agree?!"

Her purple eyes suddenly shrank, "Then why don't you break off the engagement? After all, your marriage to me is just politically forced."

Rodis turned his gaze back to look at Irene. His cheeks were slightly pink, his expression was serious, and his eyes were clear with an indescribable hint of lingering.

"Eileen, in my eyes, I can earn the glory of the Holander family with my own hands, and I don't even bother to use women to climb up.

"So, the reason why I got engaged to you was not because of political pressure, but because..."

"and many more!"

Interrupting Rodis, Irene said in surprise: "You don't want to say that you like me, do you?"

Erin recalled the plot of the original game and wondered:

"Whether it was before or now, I never felt that you liked me at all."

Rodis' eyes flashed, he paused for a moment, and asked: "Do you really want to know?"

Unexpectedly, she was able to additionally know the plot that was not in the original book. Irene replied without hesitation: "Of course I want to know."

The man pursed his lips. His ears, which were originally slightly crimson, were now so red that they could bleed.

He lowered his eyes and looked intensely at the extremely beautiful woman in his arms.

Her tender skin is fair and translucent, her burgundy curly hair is scattered above her collarbone, and her delicate collarbone downwards reveals the proud deep groove that cannot be concealed under the deep V suspender skirt.

With just this glance, Rodis felt his throat was a little dry and quickly looked away. His voice was hoarse:

"It's not that I didn't like you before. I stayed away from you and refused your intimacy. It was because I was already 22 and you were only 15.

“Eileen, you have been beautiful since you were a child, and not only that, your body is also well developed.

"So, if you live with me after we get engaged, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself..."

Erin: “………………”

Shooting herself in the foot, Irene had no idea that the real answer would be like this, which was extremely embarrassing.

Chi Tong secretly raised his head to look at her. Rodis pretended to be calm, but his uncontrolled heartbeat became increasingly clear.

"Eileen, you believe me. I didn't make any promises to you back then.

"But I have been to the temple and made an oath to the goddess Berti."

The big hand rubbing his arm slowly moved down, Rodis took Irene's hand and placed it on her heart.

"You are the only one here..."

The man's powerful heartbeat penetrated Irene's palm and hit the depths of his heart.

“Irene, I’m sorry, I’m sorry for hurting your arm now, and I’m even more sorry for hurting your body that time.

"I admit that I'm not good at kissing, I don't even know how to kiss, that's because I never thought about learning those 'techniques'.

"After all, I plan that if one day our engagement is broken off, I will dedicate everything I have to the empire and not marry anyone."

Irene raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her, only to find that he had his head lowered and was very close to her at some point.

The red eyes under thick eyelashes were pious.

Dedicate everything you have to the empire and never marry anyone again.

This seems to be true.

In "The Golden Stigmata", although the evil girl Irene died at the hands of Rodis, when peace came, the empire was prosperous and stable.

Rodis chose to guard the north.

This grand duke, whom thousands of girls dreamed of, was alone throughout his life.
