Gray eyes caressed the nape of Iris's neck. He opened and closed his lips slightly as if he wanted to bite her throat at any moment. His gloomy, subdued gaze traced Iris's neck, down to her chest and down to her stomach. It felt as if his sharp gaze pierced through the dress and caressed her whole body.I wanted to run away. It was also wrong to come to this man. Known as the defender of a well-bred relic, I knew just how ferocious he was. It was a mistake to judge that he would be able to protect me because he was vicious. It was like avoiding the beast and entering the beast's den. But Iris didn't run away. In the past, Iris would have collapsed with her legs shaking, but this time she didnt. Without revealing agitation, Iris lifted her chin slightly and glared at him. At Iris's unwavering gaze, he twisted one lip. But there was no smile in his eyes.

A low, heavy voice flowed from between his blood-red lips.

Kai's eyes narrowed. It wasn't a funny expression. His eyes were keen to find out my intentions.

Kei hurriedly approached and stood in front of Iris. Kei had a cool scent, as if it contained a forest.

His hand slowly climbed up and headed towards the nape of Iris's neck. A large hand grabbed Iris's slender neck, and stopped before it touched her skin.

I know it very well.

His hand, which had stopped, moved and touched Iris's neck. A cold palm swept down the back of her neck, stopping on her slender shoulders. Iris flinched and trembled, but did not drop her fixed gaze on him.

You'll be amazed at how well I know. Instead of saying these words, Iris raised her index finger and pushed Kei's wrist away from her shoulder. Kei's hand fell easily.

Kei smiled brightly, raised both hands slightly to show surrender, and took a step back. His eyes still weren't smiling, so Iris was even a little more creepy.

He raised his palm up and pointed to the door.

It was rude and outright rejection. If it Had been another lady, she would not have been able to raise her head in shame. But Iris didn't. This degree of embarrassment is nothing. As long as you can get out of that house, if you can live properly, you can do anything. Iris lifted her head and looked straight at Kei.

Kei's eyes narrowed. This time, it was a funny expression. He stared intently into Iris's face without saying a word, then turned around and walked to the sofa. He sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and pointed his chin to the sofa opposite. It meant to sit down, but Iris didn't. Now no one can command me. my life is my own No one is going to let my life be swayed.

There was a wrinkle on Kei's forehead. He must be wondering how she knew that the gold mines of Benott would soon collapse. But Iris had no intention of answering the question. Instead of asking the question out loud, Kei pointed to the door with his hand.

When Iris seemed unwilling to move, Kei folded his arms.

Kei looked at Iris with drowsy eyes as if he had lost interest, and said firmly.

Iris already knew that Kei had no interest in the duchess's flowers. I just stabbed it before revealing the tile I had.

Iris took a deep breath quietly. To take out this tile means to put out this neck as well. When she pull this out, she doesn't know whether Kei would keep Iris alive or kill her. No one knows that Iris had visited Count Green, but Kei knows, Maybe Kei is trying to cover everything and kill Iris.

Iris knew what was going to happen to her. I'd rather die here than live like that. I made up my mind and opened my mouth.

Kei's eyes widened at the sound of a small whisper. The solid gray eyes fluttered slightly.

Kay got up slowly. Behind him was a dark life. Life flowed and devoured Iris's body.

Kei's hand grabbed Iris's neck. Sharp fangs could be seen through her blood-red lips, but Iris didn't move an eyebrow.

Even at the moment when her neck was tightened, Iris's voice calmly emanated from Kei's hand. The life that filled the gray eyes disappeared, and curiosity filled the place.

Kei's eyes widened, and then he smiled.

Iris spoke in a tone of joy that almost sounded like a song. Kei silently looked down at the fearless woman in front of him. White skin enough to show veins, a long and slender neck, a voluptuous chest under the pretty straight collarbone, and a narrow waist. She was a woman that men would salivate, and he has heard rumors that There was countless men who wanted to acquire the flower Iris of the peacock family of Whittle, which grew up nicely in the greenhouse. There are plenty of men who are insane because they want to hold this body, but for Kei, that was definitely a good thing. Kei had no interest in things like a lupus body or a face that was as beautiful as a flower. What caught Kei's attention was Iris's attitude. Kei's life had a sense of materiality. Although it was invisible, it had a form, and it actually crushed the opponent's body and made them terrified. It was normal for an ordinary man, no, a properly trained soldier and a beast. It would be normal to be terrified, but Iris didn't. She didn't even look scared. That's what caught Kei's interest. Besides, Rishi didn't seem to be lying. There was something in Iris's eyes that made him accept her words as truth.

Kay released Iris's neck and walked to the sofa. Iris stood still, not moving. Kei frowned and remembered what Iris had said earlier. So Kei said, pointing politely to the other side of the sofa.

Iris shook her head slightly.

Seeing her slowly walking towards the sofa, Kei seemed to understand why people call Iris the flower of the Duchess of Whitlow'. An upright posture with a straight back and neck, a grace that flows from head to toe, a slow and elegant attitude, and a strong gaze that does not waver even though it looks slender like a frightened little bird. After that, Iris, who was sitting on the sofa, put her hands neatly on her thighs and looked at Kei. Iris was waiting for Kei to open his mouth first with a solemn expression on her face.

There was a flurry of ripples in the unshakablee purple eyes. As if recalling something terrible, Iris's expression softened for a moment. Iris's eyes, which had fallen to the side, turned to Kei again.

It was an unexpected answer.

A cold smile formed on Iris's lips. For some reason, Kei felt she was more attractive than the moment Iris has entered this room.

Less than an hour after meeting Iris, Iris continued to surprise Kei. Kei really enjoyed this situation.

Iris said firmly.

peak of power. Does this woman know what that means?

A sweet smile appeared on Iris's lips.

Kei immediately liked Iris.
