Shadow Monarch: Heroines Could Hear My Thoughts?!

Chapter 49- Charming Devil*

"Came for me? What are you on about?" Rin asked with a confused look. For a second, his mind stopped working but he quickly regained his composure and distanced himself from the woman before she could do anything. His mind was in chaos as he could see the difference between them.

Her speed and aura were more than enough to completely crush Rin and he would not be able to resist for even a second. She was way stronger than him.

"Oh my! Aren't you too cautious, darling? I don't bite… only if you want me to~" She said with a sweet giggle that sounded like a serene melody in his ears.

For as much as he knew, he never met this woman before nor did his family mention her before so he was questioning whether she was lying or not.

'Besides, her looks alone scream a red flag. I must not fall for her charm.'

"Oh? That's too cruel. Here, you don't like my looks?" Positioning herself seductively, she gave him a wink.

Rin had to keep eye contact unless he wanted to fall victim to her charming aura and end up toyed with.

"It won't work on me. Now, I will ask again before I expose you to everyone in the part. Who are you?"

"So stern, aren't you, Rin?" She asked as she sighed and rested her back on the balcony and looked up. The scene alone was akin to a mesmerizing drawing created by a great artist.

"Well, my name is Evelyn… Nice to meet you~"

"What do you want from me?"

"Nothing really~ I was just passing by and saw you having some fun so I wanted to watch."

'Ah, right. That trash can is still here… Damn, he lost consciousness.' Rin could only click his tongue before he dragged him to the other side of the balcony and threw him against the wall. Seeing his face alone made him feel disgusted.

"So, Evelyn...I won't try to ask for the 'real' reason why you are here. Anyway, I'm leaving now. It was nice meeting you."

Rin started walking away while keeping an eye on her in case she tried to do something funny behind his back.

"You are awfully wary of me. Am I that bad of a person in front of you?~"

'How did she…' Before he could even react, she somehow changes places in an instant. He had made sure to keep looking at her the whole time without blinking yet he wasn't able to perceive her movements at all.

"I really don't know what you are trying to do. But, I really don't want to have anything to do with it. Have a good night."

Giving up on creating distance between them, Rin quickly then strolled toward the door that led inside the hall. However, before he could leave, Evelyn said a few words that made him freeze in his place.

"How is this new world, Rin? Are you enjoying your stay here?"

'Huh?...' Rin's eyes widened in deep shock as he quickly tried to turn around and face Evelyn. But, the moment his face twisted to the side, a shadow loomed over him and quickly caught him off guard with a sudden attack.

Rin felt his lips getting sealed by a soft thing. An overwhelming feeling invaded the whole being that made him completely freeze.

Evelyn took that opportunity and pried open his mouth before she let slip her tongue inside it. Using her graceful technique, she wreaked havoc inside his mouth and swirled around freely.

Rin tried to regain his composure but the weird sensation he felt at that moment made him unable to resist. Evelyn smiled in her head and increased the intensity of her attacks on his mouth.

*Slurp* *Shmack*

She sucked, licked, and played with his tongue as she pleased while making lewd sounds without a care in the world. On that balcony, the only sound that echoed was of the two making out loudly and lewdly.

'W-What the hell?!' Rin's mind was racing as he tried to figure out what was going on. Rin wasn't a complete virgin as he did kiss a girl before in his previous life so he did have some experience. But, compared to that, this was in a whole different realm.

As much as he hated to admit it, the kiss felt unbelievably good to the point where even his will crumbled easily with a mere taste of the woman's sweet saliva.

After an unknown amount of time, the last walls of defense Rin had, had already fallen down and he was now completely at the mercy of Evelyn.

Their mouths were soaked wet with saliva as it dripped on their chin. Evelyn made sure to lick around his mouth too and suck his lips playfully.

But, luckily or not, at that moment, both of them heard footsteps coming toward the balcony and the door was sprung open violently.

"Rin!!" Aria came running outside as she looked around, seemingly in search of her brother. When her eyes landed on him, a wide and relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Where were you? Did you come here along with someone?" She asked as she approached him.

"Ah… yeah.." He replied with a strained smile.

'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What the hell was that?!' He screamed in his head.

After kissing him, she then whispered in his ear.

"Since this is our first meeting. I will leave it at that. But, don't worry. We will meet again, very very soon, darling~"

After that, she vanished and left him alone as Aria entered the balcony area.

"Rin… are you hiding something from me?" Aria looked at him sharply as she pressed him for a quick answer.

"Ah! Right, that scumbag over there. Do you know him, Aria?" Rin changed the topic skillfully.

He can't expose what just happened to Aria or he was basically as good as dead.

"Ah! Isn't that the crown prince?" She asked with a surprised look.

"The… what?"

"It's the crown prince. How did he end up here unconscious?"

"Wait, wait, wait. That trash can is the crown prince?!"

"I do agree that he is a scumbag but he is the crown prince indeed."

'So that's why he was able to do all those horrible things and not get punished for it. This fucker! I will definitely not forget this.'

"Rin? Is everything fine?"

"No. It's not. I have something to tell you."

Then, Rin quickly bowed his head in front of Aria and continued.

"I want to apologize deeply for all the pain the old me made you go through. I'm genuinely sorry and I will make sure it never happens again."

"Huh? R-Rin? What came into you?" Aria blinked a few times with a blushing face. For some reason, she didn't hate the scene in front of her at all. Rin's extremely serious face coupled with his graceful aura made him so eye-catching even for someone like Aria who spent every day with him.

"He told me about how I tried to put both of you in a room before so that he could hit on you. I don't remember such things so I can only say that I'm feeling really ashamed of what I did. I'm really sorry for all of that."

'So… he was apologizing for that? I wasn't really angry about it or anything. It wasn't his fault after all and instead it was all because of the prince.' A swirl of emotions flashed in Aria's eyes. She didn't know what to say at all at that exact moment.

So, instead, she used another language to express what she wanted to say.

Pulling him in, she hugged him tightly and finally replied.

"It's fine, Rin. I don't mind it that much. You were getting pressured by the crown prince so you had no choice… I ca-"

"No!" He shouted.

"If I wasn't a spineless coward, I would never allow such a thing to happen. I did promise to protect you and cherish you yet here I am breaking the promise before, multiple times. It's inexcusable. That's why I won't allow this to happen ever again. I will make sure he never steps closer to you."

'Oh… my… Rin!! T-That's unfair. How can you say all of that with a straight face?! No! Calm down, Aria. You mustn't show an unsightly expression in front of him! Breathe in and out… in and out… in and… Ugh! I can't stop myself from smiling. I'm so happy!!!'

The raging emotions inside of Aria made her hesitate to speak. But, Rin thought it was because she was still thinking about the matter.

"Would you give me another chance?" He looked at her with puppy eyes and a sad look.

'H-He's too cuteeeeee… I want to hug him forever and squeeze his cheeks!'

With one critical hit after another, Aria was totally exhausted from all the mental attacks that Rin assaulted her with. She was on the verge of losing control over herself.

(A//N: Kisses a woman and then hugs another in less than 2 minutes. Rin sure knows his way with ladies :3 )
