[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Claim My Heart

"Thank you so, so much for showing it to me."

With that, Xion turned back, watching closely how those lights flickered and mixed with each other at the edges.

"To actually see it with my own eyes... it’s the most wonderful thing I’ve ever witnessed."

Darius gulped, burying his nose into Xion’s neck, inhaling the scent to calm his senses. Oh, it did the opposite.

Instead of calming him, it sent a surge of heat through his veins, pooling dangerously low.

"I’ll forever be grateful to you for showing this to me, really."

No, my darling. It is I who is in your debt. I am the grateful one here.

To see you smile this close, to feel your heart beating in my arms, to witness you in reality.

This is not just a dream that would break and shatter, plunging into my heart and reminding me of how foolish I was to scare you away.

So, it’s me, Xion. I should be the one thanking you, for turning to my side.

The Archduke raised his head, and from the reflection of the window pane, he saw it all. The way Xion’s cheeks were ruddy with happiness, how his pretty eyes were glowing...

Oh, that voice, that adorable voice was drenched in so much sweetness that it intensified his urge to spin Xion around and taste it, to verify if those lips would taste just as sweet too.

Claim my heart, Xion, please... Darius thought. It’s thrumming your name anyway. And if you let it go, it might as well just stop beating.

His breathing turned heavy, and the certain kitten, too mesmerized by the view, finally noticed it.

He squirmed slightly, feeling itchy from the warm breath spraying over his sensitive skin.

If Darius hadn’t kept his lower body a few inches away, disaster would have been inevitable.

Luckily, or maybe not so lucky, the Archduke had other goals to achieve.

"Do you remember what you said about the Aurora?"

"Huh?" Xion was used to babbling when he was with Rael, and honestly, he could barely recall most of what he might have said back then.

"You said that when lovers kiss under the Aurora, they are bound together forever."

"Ah?" Did he say such nonsense? When?

And with the way the Archduke was so seriously saying all this... does he want to kiss me?

He suddenly recalled the way Darius had intimidated him downstairs, saying that he couldn’t pull back later. So, the great ruler of the North was scared that I might not kiss him back.

Just the thought was enough to evoke a smile on his face.

He took the initiative to turn back around. With a twinkle in his eyes, the certain kitten grew bold with the idea that he still had the upper hand.

"If you kiss me, you’d be bound to me for life. Aren’t you afraid I might cheat on you? Or that you’d grow bored of me? There is still time to think it over, Your Grace."

With the way, Darius’ face changed when he said those words, Xion had to bite back his laugh.

I want you to kiss me. Want you to kiss me. Want you... Those words kept repeating in his mind until they were imprinted on it.
