Chapter 58- Something about him!
Kei was left stunned for more than ten seconds upon hearing Yuna's explicit shameless words.
Kei has seen her grow through various phases where she has been a crybaby, a difficult teenager, and an impulsive young woman. But now she seemed utterly different.
Yuna liked the reaction she got from her beloved. She could sit on her throne like this for days while watching his face without a blink.
And adding such adorable reactions… She just couldn't get enough~
"You really have changed in many ways."
Yuna felt her heart clenching hearing the comment but since he didn't seem disappointed by her changed behavior, Yuna didn't let her concern overwhelm her.
Clinging closely to him, she raised her brows and asked in an uncertain tone.
"Does Kei hate me now?"
Kei was quite troubled.
He always had problems with beautiful people, especially of the opposite sex. Despite being raised around so many attractive populace, Kei never got used to their beauty.
Maybe he felt complex because of his own true form and the uncertainty that came with it.
At that moment, Kei felt slightly uncomfortable. Not because of Yuna's appearance but his restless mind which was making Kei uneasy about his own thoughts.
"Do you think I can ever come to hate you?"
Yuna was aware of Kei's fondness for her. She has seen the evidence and still could never forget that moment to date. And Yuna takes pride in the fact that Kei feels that way toward her.
But Yuna is a greedy woman, to say the least.
Along with sisterly affection, she wanted more. She desired more from him.
"No… However, I won't know until you say it."
Yuna moved in his lap and tilted her head to the other side before whispering her urgent demand to her beloved.
Kei felt utterly conflicted and nearly oozed his words out of his throat.
"I…love you Yuna."
Even before, Kei has said these words a lot of times to the girl since Yuna demanded those words at the age when she was still learning to fly. She has been taught this phrase and chose the people to whom she ever said those magical three words.
Except for her mother, Kei only received Yuna's genuine love and the tantrum to hear the same in response was utterly adorable and troubling at the same time.
But today, it took a lot from Kei to say that he loves Yuna.
He knew it was his primary instincts flaring because of Yuna's natural scent and her devilish soft body pressing against him, which made his body stiff and tongue-tied to shape only measured words.
Yuna knew how to influence a male and she loved the way she was giving Kei a hard time.
With a smile blooming on her moon-white face, Yuna leaned forward and expressed her own feelings as well.
"I love you as well, my prince~."

Yuna retreated to the changing room and wore some clothes since she didn't want to cause much trouble for her beloved.
Well, it was extremely pleasing to see Kei's blushing face and how he was having a rough time keeping his eyes away from her, but Yuna wanted to have a proper chat with him as well.
She reluctantly left her throne and went to wear a one-piece blue dress that reached up to her thighs.
She knew Kei liked her long legs the most when she walked into the room. That's why she kept the exposure a little too shameless against her usual preference.
"So how's it going?"
Kei seemed to go soft bones after Yuna left his side as he was currently laying down on the bed.
Yuna didn't miss the chance and lay beside him with her head on his arm and hand on his heaving chest.
Kei was startled and wanted to get up as soon as he heard her approaching but Yuna was fast in her movements and snuggled closely before he could even flinch.
Well, he wasn't in a formal relationship with Yuna to remain stiff by such intimacy.
He relaxed his back while staring at the ceiling as he responded.
"It's actually good. I have been enjoying my normal life in peace. It might get sometimes boring but anything is better than the chaos I have been indulging in…"
Yuna felt sad hearing Kei's words. She primarily objected to him leaving the Realm and living as a human but she has seen him suffering because of bloodshed.
Kei, despite being a dragon born, didn't love carnage at all. He never stepped back from any war but never wanted to be the reason for it.
Yuna never was able to entirely know who Kei is but she was sure about one thing.
He was frightened of his own wrath and Yuna knew the reason behind it.
Hearing him having a normal life among the lower beings despite having such position and strength to rule over the highest domain, made Yuna sigh in admiration toward his modesty.
Cuddling even more closely than before she spoke in a sheepish tone.
"Have you made any friends out there?"
Kei smiled faintly as he replied soon after.
"Yes, I did. He is the first person after you whom I was able to open myself to some extent. I am sure you will find him amusing."
Yuna didn't comment on that suggestion and had a stiffened expression currently spread on her face.
Knowing Kei has made someone else also his friend made her slightly uncomfortable but not like she can control his likeability.
But little did she anticipate that friendship wasn't the only relation Kei has built in the Human realm.
"Ah, I forgot to tell. I have started dating recently… Yuna?!"
