The Queen of Villains - Chapter 15 part 1

Emily slowly lifted her gaze after seeing the towel that had fallen on the floor. She finally saw Killian’s naked body, which she had only imagined. She observed his broad, exposed shoulders, wide chest, well-defined abs, muscular thighs,  Tight ass, and… 

Stunned, Emily covered her mouth with both hands.

“Oh, this isn’t right.”

Emily quickly covered her eyes and shouted.

“Quick, put on some clothes!”

Killian, who was in a similar state of panic, hurriedly moved his body, which had paused for a moment in shock , and picked up the towel and wrapped it around his lower body.

“It’s fine now,” 

Emily slightly opened her eyes at his words, but seeing only his lower body barely covered, she felt lightheaded again. She slowly crawled onto the sofa in the room.

‘Think pious thoughts, pious thoughts!’

As Emily remembered the god she believed in, her thoughts became fixated on the statue of a male deity she had once seen. It felt familiar…and then she realized that Killian’s body resembled that statue of a male god at the temple, with perfect construction and proportions.

‘ No! My thoughts shouldn’t flow like this!’

Across from Emily, who was already struggling with unwholesome thoughts, Killian sat down.

When Emily saw the flesh coming into her sight, she was afraid she would do anything, so she struggled to open her mouth.

“Can we sit somewhere other than there?”

Killian pondered for a moment before moving to the far end of the sofa where Emily was sitting.

‘I didn’t mean to sit here!’

With Killian, freshly showered, sitting beside her, Emily wondered if he purposely did this to torment her. 

However, Killian thought she sat there because she didn’t want to face him directly. He asked in a somewhat subdued tone,

“By the way, why are you in this room?”

“I accidentally opened a secret passage. What about you?”

“The bathroom in my room is under repair.”

“Alvin informed me as well, but I forgot.”

Afterward, the conversation between the two didn’t flow smoothly. Since it was their first encounter after their fight, the situation had already been awkward, and his attire or lack thereof made any conversation even more impossible.

“Anyway, I’m sorry. I didn’t intend to see you naked,” Emily quickly apologized and thought about leaving the room. However, Killian remained silent, his face showing signs of contemplation.

When Emily couldn’t wait any longer for his response and attempted to stand up, Killian urgently called out to her.

“Emily.”

It had been a while since he called her by her name, and without any warning, her heart trembled.

As she sat back down on the sofa, Killian still gazed at the floor, and he spoke.

“I am sorry and I’m sorry for apologizing to you so late.” 

Emily was taken aback by his unexpected apology. 

“It was because I thought it was dangerous for you to be alone with the Crown Prince that I assumed things. I didn’t properly assess the situation, and I’m sorry for scaring you.”

His apology was even more sincere than she had expected. Feeling his genuine remorse, all the resentment and aversion she had felt quickly melted away.

“Do you worry about me?”

“Yes, I do.”

Emily replied, feeling relieved.

“Understood.”

Encouraged by her response, Killian slowly lifted his head and looked into Emily’s eyes. The atmosphere in the room heated up. Emily, who felt that staying there any longer would lead to trouble, pinched her thigh and stood up.

“Well then, I’ll go to bed now.”

“Yes, me too.”

Without properly meeting each other’s eyes, both of them awkwardly left the room and disappeared into their respective chambers.

The night seemed longer than usual.
