chapter 170
170. Her Temptation
Another day begins in prison as usual.
Helena used to come to deliver meals, but recently Frances has been bringing them instead. She will probably come this time to have breakfast with us too.
It’s already been two days since I took that strange medicine that Frances gave me, and it’s the last day.
‘Now that I’m sure, I guess I should bring it up.’
Until now, I had trusted her, so I thought I might have misunderstood, so I quietly observed Frances’ condition… … .
‘My guess was correct.’
I don’t know what he’s planning by giving her strange medicine, but it seems like Frances is having a strange misunderstanding.
‘Oh, and that was all a lie too.’
It means that my existence is still unstable and needs stability. It also means that the reason I feel weak is because of that.
It must all be a lie. No wonder, because every time I come into contact with Frances, my strength drains away.
‘I think you’ll know the reason if you ask me later.’
I sat on the bed with my arms crossed and waited for France to come.
And after a while.
Crunch. Crunch. The sound of shoes echoed.
“Jin? You were awake?”
“I’ve been waiting.”
Clank. The door opened and Frances brought the food in the wagon. She placed the dishes on the table as she always did.
But today your clothes seem a little different than usual… … .
“It’s breakfast. Should I take my medicine today too?”
“… … .”
Since I can’t ask right away, let’s start the conversation over a meal.
“yes.”
I sat down with a smile. I still felt lethargic because my strength was continuously draining away in real time.
“Eat quickly. You need to take your medicine today too.”
Frances offered me food with a refreshing smile. I picked up my fork and knife.
“But you know, France.”
“huh?”
“Why did you lie to me?”
“… … .”
He looked up and met her eyes. A shadow fell over Frances’ face.
“…What does that mean?”
“It’s all lies.”
Tak. I continued speaking, putting my fork and knife down on the table.
“The fact that I have to be locked up here because my existence is unstable and I need to find stability, the reason why my strength keeps draining, and the thing about the medicine. It’s all a lie.”
Frances’s face hardened at my words. Judging by her reaction, it really was all a lie.
“What are you planning? No, why are you doing this? Do you not like me?”
The country has dedicated its entire life to her. Now that everything is over, I don’t understand why she can’t be trusted.
“… … .”
Frances lowered her head and remained silent.
“Please tell me. I’m not angry. I’m just asking.”
This is true. It was purely a question. Since my existence is bound to Frances forever, why do I have to do this?
“…because I’m anxious.”
“Are you anxious?”
Frances looked up and met my eyes.
“Once you ran away without saying a word, and I thought we were finally meeting, but then you tried to leave me again, saying, ‘It’s a contract, your existence is disappearing.’”
I have nothing to say about that since my explanation was insufficient. I let it go since it was a finished issue, but I didn’t know you would still be this anxious.
“I wanted to make you someone who couldn’t live without me, just like I was. So that you would never think about leaving me again. So that even if something big happened, you would desperately want to stay by my side.”
Frances’ eyes turned red. Soon, pure white tears flowed down her cheeks.
“I’m really sorry for lying to you… but I was so anxious. What if you suddenly left for some reason? And I got anxious because I heard the princess was after you… So… … .”
A trembling voice. Hands wander, lost as to where to go.
“I didn’t want to feel this insecure… … .”
I was speechless. Frances was giving me a love that was twisted and tightly twisted, even though it was entangled with anxiety.
“ha…….”
A hot sigh. I rubbed my forehead and closed my eyes. The trauma was too deeply engraved on her.
From the beginning, France was a person with nothing.
A person who had nothing to receive or give love to. A life that was always cold and indifferent, filled with loneliness and solitude.
Although people say that their fates and circumstances have changed because of my influence, it doesn’t change the fact that they lived that kind of life before I came.
Even though we are adults in many ways, when it comes to relationships, we are still children who know nothing.
‘You’re clumsy.’
I should have told her everything from the beginning. I didn’t go into detail because I was afraid she’d be confused…
“France. Now listen carefully to what I say. I’ll tell you everything.”
Frances looked at me and tilted her head.
“I will tell you everything about the life I have lived for you, and why I almost disappeared to save you.”
This will be a pretty long story, but… … .
To reassure her, you need to let her know.
“This is going to be a long story. I’ll tell you everything, without leaving anything out.”
* * *
Jin’s long explanation is over.
Two thousand regressions to save Frances. The soul damaged by it. A deal with Ladrien to somehow change fate. In return, he almost lost his existence, but with the help of the saint, he is still alive.
Finally, how much he loves France.
“… … .”
Frances blinked and pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
Of course, because he didn’t tell me the process that led to the result. He only said that he made a contract with Ladrien to save himself. He said that because of that, his existence would disappear…
“That’s how it is. Can you trust me now? My feelings for Frances will never change, and I will never go anywhere.”
As Jin spoke sternly, Frances’ pupils shook greatly.
“I, I don’t even know that… … .”
It felt like my throat was blocked, and I couldn’t speak. Was it that hard to string words together into a sentence?
I was anxious.
I’m afraid he’ll leave me again.
I’m afraid it’ll disappear from my sight.
The first person I trusted and showed affection towards.
To Frances, who had never had anything and had only been betrayed, Jean was extremely precious.
More than one’s own life.
So, he tried to make Jean nominally dependent on Frances, to make her a body that could not live without Frances.
As if he were such.
But when I hear Jin’s story, my head feels dizzy.
How could he have used such coercive methods because he couldn’t trust the person who thought of him and loved him more than anyone else?
Feelings of guilt and self-loathing began to creep in. But Jin smiled.
“But I understand. I know what kind of life you’ve lived, and I know what’s on France’s mind. That she was anxious, that she wanted to possess me completely.”
He loved even such a Frances.
“So now you don’t have to use strange methods. Just as every moment of yours was mine, every moment of mine was Frances.”
His voice is soft.
“I like you, France.”
Jin’s refreshing smile. France’s heart was touched.
“jin.”
“yes?”
“Can I hug you now?”
“Of course.”
Frances got up from her seat and ran towards Jean.
“I’m sorry… I’m really sorry… … .”
“I’m sorry too. I should have told you everything.”
I guess this will do. Jin sighed in relief, stroking the back of France’s head.
“Jin, can I kiss you?”
“If you wish.”
“Then close your eyes… … .”
“… … .”
Frances took advantage of the moment when Jean closed her eyes to take a sip of the medicine and put it in her mouth. She wrapped her arms around Jean’s neck and kissed him softly.
“Ugh… ?!”
Gulp. Gulp.
The tongue slipped in and the drug was forced down. Jin reacted instantly and tried to step back, but Frances’s arm was wrapped tightly around the back of his neck and he couldn’t escape.
“What on earth are you doing… … .”
The effect was amplified beyond comparison. What on earth is this? Jin grabbed his forehead.
“I’m sorry, I can’t stand it because you’re too cute.”
Jin grabbed his dizzy mind and slowly raised his gaze. He thought it was different than usual, but upon closer inspection, the dress was quite provocative.
Her voluptuous chest is exposed, which does not suit her thin body. Following the curved waist of the tight dress, the navel in the center exudes presence, and below that, her wide hips take up space.
Whether it’s intentional or because it’s a short dress, her bare legs are completely exposed. As the dress goes up her thin ankles, her smooth calves and voluptuous thighs come into view.
“France, no way… … .”
“That’s right.”
Frances slowly approached and pressed her body against Jean’s.
“I prepared for this day, I waited for this day, so I can’t just let it pass…?”
Then he put his lips on Jin’s neck and lightly stroked it.
“Choosh… … .”
Frances looked up at Jean’s neck, wanting to see her. Jean had been holding back her lust even while taking the medicine. What an unbelievable willpower. He may be inclined, but he will never be broken.
An even stronger stimulus is needed to break his heart.
“I can’t stand it until midnight.”
As soon as Frances bites Jean’s ear, her moist voice is transmitted to his eardrums. It feels as if all the muscles in his body are melting away.
“France…!”
Jin gasped for breath and squeezed his eyes shut.
“This is our precious first time together… As it is now… .”
How old-fashioned it is to be useless. Frances covered Jin’s mouth with her index finger.
“It’s okay, okay…?”
He pressed his chest against hers on purpose. Frances could feel Jin’s heart pounding as he felt the softness.
“Was that medicine meant to be like this from the beginning…?”
“that’s right.”
An answer without an inch of hesitation.
“I’ve been looking forward to this day. I’ve heard a lot about men from my savvy servants, and I’ve even prepared for it.”
In fact, there was no need to do this, and she could have simply given orders to existence, but Frances didn’t want to do that. Now was the time to confirm love. It would only make sense if Jin moved by her own desire.
“jin…?”
Frances looked down at Jean’s chest, her legs bulging as if they were going to burst. Jean was more excited than ever.
‘Almost there.’
Frances’ sticky hands ran down her chest and groped her thighs. She didn’t stop there, and blew air on Jin’s neck.
“Ugh…!”
Due to the effects of the drug, even a slight stimulus made her whole body tremble. It felt like she was trying hard to hold it in. Frances couldn’t hide her excitement and let out a ragged breath.
“Jin, I don’t want to give orders in this kind of thing. So please, okay…?”
Frances’ sticky whisper. Jean hummed quietly with her eyes tightly shut.
“… It’s my first time. If I do it now, I won’t be able to control my excitement and Frances will get hurt. I don’t want to force myself.”
Didn’t you mean to force it from the beginning?
The original plan was to intentionally arouse him and then force him to have s*x with Jin on their first day as a couple, leaving him feeling guilty and indebted.
The plan went a bit awry, but… … .
‘So what? Jin loves me and cherishes me like this.’
That kind of thing doesn’t really matter anymore.
“Jin? Look at me.”
When Jin did not come over, Frances stroked his cheek and whispered in his ear.
“Shouldn’t you punish me for plotting such a strange plan, confining you, and even feeding you potions?”
Frances sat on Jean’s lap and slowly untied the knots of the dress she was wearing, one by one.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
The dress she was wearing slid down, revealing a black negligee.
Her pure white, soft flesh was clearly visible through the fabric, and the pink cleavage on her chest was completely exposed.
“What is this… … .”
The second ultimate skill prepared by Francesca, who received s*x education from Lenya, for this day.
“Let’s spend our first day filled with pleasure by exploring each other…?”
If you don’t give in to temptation, it’s a strategy to force you into lusting after them and committing the crime.
