How the Villainous Consort Avoids His Death Ending - Chapter 21.2

The impression I had felt the first time I saw Tristan returned to me. He was a beautiful man, like a sculpture crafted with great care by a master artisan. In my previous life, I could not believe I had been cast to play the role of Tristan. He was a beauty whose appearance was completely different from mine. Even I, who had never once felt any interest in men, found it difficult to look away and kept glancing back at him. Which meant…

Which meant that was why I kept trying to jump him…?

“Grand Consort. Why are you looking at me that way? Speak freely. Whatever it is, it does not matter. Go on.”

I could not bring myself to face Tristan, who urged me with concern, so I shut my eyes tight. Then I simply blurted it out.

“Did I perhaps jump on Your Grace again?”

“If you are unwell because of me, then… what?”

“Pardon? Why would I be unwell because of Your Grace? What is that supposed to mean, hm?”

“Jumped on… what does that even mean, Grand Consort? Grand Consort?”

“……”

“……”

The conversation was going nowhere.

After a short silence, Tristan rubbed his forehead and let out a brief sigh. Then his brows suddenly drew into a deep frown.

“I will ask again, Grand Consort. What do you mean by saying you ‘again’ ‘jumped on’ me?”

“Is there any other way to interpret those words…?”

I was sincerely asking because I did not understand, but all I received was a sharp, piercing glare. Nervously folding my hands together, I sat quietly and waited for Tristan’s answer.

I really hoped I had not done such a thing while half delirious from the pain. But since there had been one previous incident, even I could not bring myself to trust me.

Eventually Tristan cleared his throat and spoke.

“As I said before, you did not jump on me then either.”

“Was that not already resolved?”

“It was resolved. As in, it was not your fault.”

“Yes, well…”

I waved it off with a vague reply, and Tristan’s brows furrowed even more. I stole a sideways glance at his bare body.

There were no obvious marks. Did we really just sleep quietly?

I have said this repeatedly, but I have never once been interested in men. But now that I had ended up in this world, the fact remained that my body was an omega and Tristan was an alpha.

And the other person was an exceptionally beautiful man. On top of that, we had both been completely naked and wrapped in each other’s arms all night. And I was supposed to believe we only held hands… no, merely hugged and slept quietly?

Even if Tristan was extremely shy about these matters, it was myself I found harder to trust. I looked him over once more with suspicion.

“Would you stop staring at me?”

“I simply wondered. I might have left some marks…”

“I told you nothing happened!”

“No need to be embarrassed. These things can happen between two grown men…”

“It can happen, but that does not mean you jumped on me. No, nothing happened last night. Your fever was burning so fiercely, what could possibly have happened. Do you take me for a beast?”

“No, I do not doubt Your Grace. I doubt… myself.”

“The idea that you could jump on me is absurd!”

“……”

“……”

Tristan eventually shouted in frustration. I flinched and watched him cautiously. I did not understand why he was so worked up. It was possible.

“…All right. So you are saying nothing happened?”

“…Yes.”

“Yes…”

Then why were we both naked? I had no idea, but if nothing happened, that was a relief.

At that moment, the malfunctioning System finally twitched.

At that moment, a sweet and refreshing scent burst forth in a powerful wave. I immediately pressed my lips against Tristan’s.
