There Are Too Many Background Settings in the Possessed Novel

165 – Persuasion (5)

The next moment, Lilian realized that his legs were floating in the air.

She tried to struggle with her feet, but instead of touching the ground, she only touched empty space.

“What are you doing? “And if you’re going to do this, why don’t you do it from the beginning!”

“I was just wondering how far I could walk alone since I was climbing up on my own feet.”

Well, in reality, I just did a little observation to make up for her imperfect memory.

She had to first make sure that the place Lilian was going to be physically reachable. She

Seeing that she was trying hard to climb up on both legs, which did not work well, she decided that she had reached the right end.

“Ugh, really….”

Lilian grumbled indignantly.

But the arms that held her securely were so firm and warm.

She felt familiar in Leonhard’s slightly cold body odor and warmth.

‘It’s the same.’

Her senses, which had never disappeared from her memory, were awakening one after another.

She had someone who hugged her before like this.

‘No…’ . No!’

Lilian urgently and desperately denied her feelings spreading within her heart again.

That Leonhard disappeared.

She was handed a heavy burden that she could not bear.

So, it’s all an illusion.

In order not to let his burning emotions be noticed, Lilian buried her face in his chest.

“We have arrived.”

Some time had passed.

At Leonhardt’s words, Lilian raised her head.

There is a door at the end of the spiral staircase.

The door was standing right on the stairs, and there was no wall, so only the door was floating in the air.

On the other side of the door, there was just empty space.

However, this door is just a formal structure.

Kkiik.

When Leonhard turned the doorknob, the door opened inward and went in.

When the door opened, a space on the other side of the door that seemed empty appeared.

Lirian saw a familiar sight.

The space was larger than most rooms in the royal castle and was filled with the finest furniture and decorations tailored to her taste.

All of her furniture, carefully selected and brought in by her lover of extravagant things, was dazzling.

However, there were also old items in the room with traces of time left here and there.

Although she was in a safe place, she still did not feel at ease.

For her Lilian, this was a place where her memories with Leonhard were buried.

It was a subtle feeling to be hugging this man in such a place.

Lilian didn’t want to be held captive by him even for a moment longer.

“Please let go when you arrive.”

Leonhardt’s arm, which had been holding her waist tightly, surprisingly let go of Lilian obediently.

You held me forcibly just like that before…. Lillian’s mood became disturbed by her strange emptiness.

She felt a subtle tickle from inside her where he was pressing.

Because she didn’t like that feeling, Lilian ended up complaining without even realizing it.

“Now they’re just letting me go again.”

“You shuddered earlier, but now you feel regretful?”

“Me? It’s you who has to feel sorry. “

Lillian was too busy denying her own feelings to throw her words wildly.

“Are you a little satisfied? “She was f*cking women like she always did.”

Leonhard shrugged his shoulders.

“Don’t set me up like that. “Don’t you get tired if you keep standing still?”

Leonhardt smiled vaguely and headed somewhere, dragging Lilian.

But the place he was heading to was strange. Leonhard was heading to the corner of his room.

To be exact, it was where the sofa was placed in the corner of the room. .

“Let’s rest a little. “Anyway, we can’t do anything while we’re holding on to each other like this.”

Leonhardt sat on the sofa and leaned back comfortably.

Lilian stood awkwardly and lost her words.

‘Why, this….’

On the outside, the sofa was a gorgeous two-seater sofa made of high-quality leather.

However, if you look closely, you can see traces of time somewhere.

There are plenty of places to sit and rest here. This old sofa that was left in the corner.

I felt strangely bad as Leonhard buried his back on the sofa that was filled with deep memories.

“This sofa….”

Leonhardt glanced at Lilian, who was standing in confusion, and swept down the leather of the sofa with his other hand, which was not holding her hand.

As if she knew what that sofa meant to her.

“Lirian.”

He called Lilian as if he were calling her child.

Thump thump thump. A loud sound filled Lilian’s ears.

“I have to sit down. “Lilian.”

Leonhard once again gently but firmly called out to Lilian.

Lilian cleared his throat loudly for a moment. She did this so as not to show her disheveled self.

It felt like the moment she revealed even the slightest hint of her feelings, she would be grabbed by Leonhard’s claws and torn to pieces.

“I don’t like it.”

“You don’t like it?”

His eyes were curved like a soft crescent moon. One of Leonhard’s hands touched Lilian’s cheek.

It was a familiar feeling. This feeling that is sweet and gentle, but at the same time entangles and pulls her in so that she cannot escape.

“Sit down. Lillian. I didn’t teach you that. “You have to listen carefully.”

Leonhard repeated his words slowly and clearly.

His voice pierced Lilian’s ears more clearly than before.

“You teach me…” .”

“You acted like you were deadly at first, but now you’re pretending not to know?”

Yes. Leonhard taught. He ‘educated’ himself for a very long time.

The traces of that still remain with me. How can we deny that fact?

Lilian’s breathing became even heavier than before.

‘It’s not…. This Leonhard… ‘Probably not.’

However, unlike her mind, Lilian’s body moved instinctively.

She was already sitting on the same sofa as Leonhard.

The only consolation was that it was a little bit far away.

However, Leonhard narrowed his eyes as if he was not satisfied with that sight.

Lilian already knew what Leonhard’s eyes meant.

That expression brought out Lilian’s suspicions even more.

“…No, right?”

“What?”

With a deep smile, Leonhard opened his one arm wide.

Lilian hesitated in the corner of the sofa.

“Come on.”

As Leonhard urged, Lilian’s body trembled slightly.

This is unavoidable. I’m being held now.

“Whoa…” .”

She let out a long breath, lowered her head, and dragged her buttocks on the sofa as if she was wriggling.

She tried to move as slowly as possible. But anyway, it’s only an arm’s length away.

Understandably, Lilian’s shoulders, wrapped in a thin dress, were so close to Leonhard’s that they almost touched each other.

“Now listen carefully. “It seems the rebellious period has passed.”

I flinch.

Her body trembled when she felt Leonhard’s hand on her head.

Leon Harr’s fingers dug into Lilian’s purple hair and combed it out.

“I remembered it well.”

The moment Leonhard spoke with a smile, his fingers brushed behind Lilian’s ears.

Lilian unconsciously closed her eyes tightly at the dizzying sensation of her touch.

At that moment, she even forgot the smile she had been trying to smile the whole time.

The moment she opened her eyes, it was already too late.

She smiled with knowing eyes and gently touched Leonhard’s cheek.

“Lirian.”

“…Why?”

Lilian pursed her moist, glossy pink lips and she answered.

What happened to her hair? Could it be that she is misunderstanding something because of her feelings that she has not been able to cut out?

‘No. He is….’

Lilian once again strongly denied it.

“Definitely not you.”

“Is that so?”

Her hand wrapped around her small cheek and gently brushed it down.

At some point, something inside her heart cracked slightly and melted.

“It depends on what you think.”

The moment Leonhard smiled faintly, Lilian was struck by the feeling of her past being pulled on her like an invisible leash.

“It depends on what you think….”

Lilian repeated those words in her mouth.

Thump thump thump. A loud sound filled Lilian’s ears.

It didn’t take long for her to realize that the sound was her own heartbeat.

Leonhard smiled loosely as he looked at Lilian shaking her head in confusion.

Now she has her choice.

Now that she has a choice, she will have no choice but to worry.

How would she judge the Leonhard in front of her?

There was power in explicitly throwing it out.

And at the same time….

‘I’m still worried.’

Leonhard himself was concerned about this situation.

Somehow the memories that kept coming back to me felt familiar.

And even a book with a blank page written about himself.

Everything continued to haunt me in a strange way.

‘Besides returning through destruction, there is something else hidden.’

This world is ultimately a world of backstory.

A world where another truth is created behind each superficial element.

He had been speculating before that he might not be an exception.

And with this sudden memory that began to surface, the guess was becoming reality.

Leonhardt carefully looked at Lilian, who had a complicated expression.

A writer who created the original plan of this world, and a girl with a painful and bitter past.

I had a feeling that if I stayed with this girl who kept appearing in my memory, I would be able to reach that hidden setting.

Leonhardt squeezed her shoulder affectionately.

The moment she opened her eyes wide in surprise, Leonhard pulled her into his arms.

“Ah.”

Lilian sighed softly and hugged Leonhard.

“Lirian.”

Leonhard spoke in the soft and gentle voice he had in his memories.

“I will wait until you choose.”

Lillian’s breath hitched a little at Leonhardt’s sweet smile that made her tongue tingle.

It was really a big deal.
