I Accidentally Saved The Male Lead’s Brother

Charlotte swallowed dry saliva and looked at him. “If I gave you the ring, would you still wear it without taking it off?” “naturally.” There was not even a second of hesitation in his answer. Then his gaze suddenly turned to Charlotte’s empty hand. “You took it off.” “Ah, this….” Charlotte laughed like Theo who was secretly caught digging for potatoes with his bare hands. “I’m afraid it will break if I wear it to sleep.” It must be a well-made, expensive ring, but I didn’t want to break it while lying down at night. “It has protection magic in it, so it’s okay to wear it at any time.” “I’m still a little worried.” Carcel looked at Charlotte with a concerned face and then bit his lips slightly, offering her the compromise. “After that, wear it all the time except when you’re asleep.” “I can do that.” After he answered, a satisfied smile appeared on Carcel’s lips. He raised Charlotte’s right hand and kissed it on the empty finger. This wasn’t the first time he’d kissed her finger, and Charlotte could also look at it with an indifferent look. But when his lips started to rise higher and higher, she couldn’t help but panic. Unknowingly, she straightened her fingers and Carcel asked, looking into her eyes. “Don’t you like it?” “This, this….” Charlotte looked at his eyes, which were somewhat different from usual. “It is not…. That I don’t like this….” As those words fell down, Carcel became even bolder. He pressed his lips to Charlotte’s white wrist while Charlotte fanned her other hand as her cheeks began to warm. While kissing her, he left a red mark on her wrist with a slight tingling sensation. As he looked at the mark he had left, Carcel’s breath hesitated for a moment. The two of them felt a little strange, and Charlotte’s breathing also started to become rough. There was more heat in Carcel’s purple eyes than the fire in the fireplace. The heat she felt in his close body was different from when she was exchanging mana with him. Charlotte closed her eyes as she looked at Carcel’s face as he cupped her face and bowed. After a while, I felt his lips touching my forehead. He kissed her eyes alternately. Charlotte’s cheeks, which were getting cold at the sound of kissing, rose again and Charlotte grabbed Carcel’s shirt tightly. It must have been a funny scene for her, but she couldn’t hear Carcel’s laughter. All she could hear was his harsh breathing. ‘What should I do now ?’ On the one hand, Charlotte froze, holding her breath, not knowing how she should react. If I opened my eyes, Carcel would be right in front of me, so I couldn’t open my eyes. And my heart was beating like crazy. How is Carcel now? Is his heart beating faster than mine? Charlotte rested her right hand on his shirt. Thump,thump , thump, thump She felt his heart beating rapidly under her hand. It was a strange but pleasant sound. This time, his lips touched the back of her nose. He loved every part of Charlotte and kissed her like crazy. Both cheeks and the tip of the nose. The place where he was touching her was obviously her face, but she felt tickled in her hand. Then she felt his warm breath on her lips. Charlotte tightened her grip on Carcel’s shirt and closed her eyes even tighter. She felt Carcel’s breath on her lips, just like when Theo’s mana exploded. ” ….” This was the moment when Charlotte couldn’t hold her breath and exhaled at once. “Ha.” Carcel sighed deeply. Kiss, kiss, kiss. As if it was a bird pecking at its food, it touched her lip three times and walked away. I loved the soft texture on my lips. Charlotte opened her mouth slightly in an unknown thirst, and Carcel bit her lower lip and let go. The breath that tickled my lips soon drifted away. In addition, his solid body, which had been in contact with Charlotte, gradually moved away. Charlotte, who had left his shirt, opened her eyes and looked for Carcel. Before she knew it, he got up from the couch and turned his back on her. He didn’t speak but looked like he was leaving out of shyness. “It’s late at night, you should hurry up and sleep.” Carcel, who had walked a few paces, quickly came back and kissed Charlotte’s forehead again. And his act of pressing lips and turning away showed great regret. At that moment, Charlotte felt her face about to explode. “I wish you good night .” Carcel’s lips fell into a low laugh. Charlotte could not raise her head even after he left the room and closed the door. After a while, she staggered as if possessed by something and fell onto the bed. ‘How can I sleep now?’ She buried her face deeply in the pillow and moved her feet. I’m not sleeping today. *** Charlotte couldn’t sleep last night because of her conversation with Carcel. It wasn’t because of the conversation exactly, but because of his kiss. Even when she fell asleep, the places his lips touched were trembling. At the same time, I was disappointed. It was an emotion I couldn’t comprehend even when I thought about it myself. What kind of expression was Carcel making? Is he shy or does he have a beautiful smile? If not, then… When I thought about it that much, Charlotte’s face turned red enough. Theo, who was sitting on the floor playing with a cart, looked up at her and laughed. “Sister! A ripe tomato! Even from a child’s perspective, her face looked red. Charlotte covered her cheeks with both hands and looked at Theo cheerfully. “Theo, my face is not red!” “Red! A ripe tomato! The kid was kind of insistent. Then he thought it was a little mischievous, so he climbed onto Charlotte’s lap and kissed the back of her hand. He wanted to kiss her cheek but she covered it with both hands. “You are a ripe tomato! But you’re pretty !” Charlotte’s heart melted upon hearing that charming voice. “Theo, do you want to go see the tomatoes?” “Really ?” “Yes .” “I love that!” Charlotte took Theo out into the field to harvest the tomatoes, when he said let’s pick the potatoes she said, “Let’s go do something else for today.” I remembered Carcel’s words last night that he didn’t really like potatoes. After harvesting enough tomatoes to make pasta sauce , Theo fell asleep. While he was sleeping, Charlotte met the craftsman, with whom she asked Robert to make an appointment. “Nice to meet you, Miss Lannia.” The craftswoman who had worked for the Heinst Duchy for a long time was a rather stern-looking middle-aged woman. Charlotte was nervous inwardly seeing her gently tying her hair back without a single hair out of place. “Nice to meet you .” The reason Charlotte had not entrusted the Magic Stone to Ahin and wanted to hire a craftsman instead was very simple. That was because she was very famous for making engagement rings and she wanted to make a more sophisticated ring. “I heard you wanted an engagement ring.” Hearing the word “engagement ring” from someone other than Carcel made Charlotte feel strange again. Back in the day, I didn’t think anything of it when I heard I was Carcel’s fiancée. Because I was only a fiancée by contract I thought I’d give that position back to Penelope eventually. But now things have become different. Charlotte honestly took the seat next to Carcel with all her heart. Although the relationship started with a contract, I now sincerely wanted it to develop into lovers. Even if Penelope appears, I don’t intend to step down. Therefore, in the future, she will have to get used to being called his betrothed. Charlotte took a deep breath to calm her tense mind and smiled as tenderly as possible . “Yes .” Charlotte held her engagement ring and the magic stone she made last night. The craftswoman picked up the engagement ring for the first time and exclaimed. “This is a blue diamond. It must have been hard to obtain, but nothing would be hard for a duke” Charlotte became shy again. Carcel didn’t say anything about the ring, but he found it hard to get a blue diamond that looked like her eyes. At the time of receiving it, she was overburdened as she felt it was very precious. But now she was so happy that she had felt his affection. “By the way, what is this precious stone? I don’t think it’s a ruby or a diamond, but the color matches it.” “this …” Charlotte couldn’t tell the truth but she just laughed and made something up. “Actually, I don’t know either. It was a gem that my mother handed to me, it is precious because it is passed down from generation to generation of the Lannia family, so I wanted to make it into the duke’s ring.” The craftsmanship passed the matter without a doubt. “This is correct. The meaning of gemstones is more important than the type of gemstone. The Duke gave the blue diamond for a special reason.” The craftswoman looked into Charlotte’s eyes and smiled. Charlotte laughed awkwardly, resisting her urge to cover her eyes for the time being. “I will. Oh, how long will it take for the ring to be ready?” Contrary to the first impression, the craftswoman was a friendly, not stern person. She knew Charlotte was trying to change the subject but passed on. “It is an important gem, so it will take some time to craft it in detail. Even if you do it quickly, it could take a week.” “Even if it takes longer than that, please make it beautiful.” “Good. Can’t we just make the design look like a pair with the miss’s ring?” “Yes .” The craftswoman saw Charlotte’s ring and began to quickly draw on a piece of paper. Charlotte was amazed at the speed with which the picture was drawn, and watched in admiration for a moment. Shortly thereafter, the design was completed. It was an incredibly complex design that was completed quickly. “The miss’s ring has a small diamond embedded next to the blue diamond, but I think it would be best to keep the duke’s ring as simple as possible, so I’ll put a single blue gem in it. Is this good ?” The craft showed the paper to Charlotte. Charlotte looked at the craftsmanship and the design alternately, examining it. Carcel’s ring looks like Charlotte’s ring as if it was originally paired. As the craftswomen said, simple design suits Carcel, so a design with only magic stone would be elegant and beautiful. “I like that. Please make it like this.” “Yes, I understand. I know the size of the duke’s ring, so don’t worry.” “Yes .” “I’ll make it as quick and beautiful as possible so we won’t have to wait long.” “Yes. Thanks .” Although she had to answer, Charlotte’s mind was already filled with other thoughts, and Charlotte couldn’t quite literally listen. she thought as she put the ring back on the table after the craftswoman had left and put it on her finger. ‘The ring size is appropriate….’ How the hell did Carcel know my size? I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter !
