When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

Chapter 72

His hands trembled at the rustling sound of the strings.

The hands that never trembled when they took the lives of ten people at once.

Laritte broke the silence, “where are our escorts such as Lady Redra and Sir Mason?”

“The knights are staying at another annex……,” answered Ian steadily, though his eyes were spinning.

When the strings were done, her dress loosened to reveal the white shiny garment she was wearing.

“I see. Oh, please take off my necklace as well.”

With that, Laritte grabbed a hold of her hair and lifted it up.

The necklace was loosened and she placed it on the table.

Now she could take off the rest on her own. She turned around to say that, but she met Ian’s eyes.

He was very close, his breath ghosting on her hair.

Laritte’s form was reflected back by those golden eyes of his.

“…….”

“…….”

Nothing came and went.

Ian opened his mouth to talk about something else, but his voice didn’t cooperate.

He closed his lips again.

Did I imagine her eyes shaking a little?

His face leaned closer and closer to hers.

His head tilted slightly.

There was no way for him to hold back anymore.

“Right.”

Laritte snapped her fingers.

She realized when she saw herself in his eyes.

“I didn’t remove my makeup. You were going to tell me that, right?”

To remove her makeup, she needed to go downstairs and call a maid.

‘Ah.’

Until now, Ian’s patience and instincts had brought him to nothing.

‘Please……’

He was going crazy.

Unaware, Laritte walked around the room.
