Chapter 16.1 – The Sixteenth Night Part 1

The Sixteenth Night Part 1

The sudden kiss was an unexpected action for both Joyce and Sean.

Sean, who had just kissed the kitty, and the kitty, who suddenly became a vampire, were both in shock. Time seemed to have stopped there. It was only the occasional swaying shadows of trees outside the windows that proved that this moment was not at a standstill.

Outside the window, the piercing caws of the sleepless crows brought Joyce back to her senses.

There was a doubtful blush rising on her face.

Sean kissed me?! 

Sean kissed me!!! 

But why did Sean kiss me?! 

As countless thoughts coursed through her mind, Sean seemed to have finally collected himself. His little peck left him slightly flustered, and he wanted to create some distance between her and himself.

But who knew that Joyce would suddenly put her hands to his head. Sean stiffened and eyes were filled with surprise as she held his head closer… this kiss was firmly placed on her forehead.

“You kissed me!”

As if she was afraid he would deny his actions, she shouted excitedly, refusing to let go of the “definite evidence”.

Sean clumsily pushed her away and took a few steps back to get away from her.

Joyce covered the place he had just kissed in surprise and looked at him, her eyes sparkling. “You just kissed me.”

“No.” Sean was so stiff that he could not look away.

Joyce caught a glance at the barely visible blush on his face and curiously leaned closer to examine the unnatural hue of pink on his face. “Oh, little knight, you are blushing, right?”

“…”

Sean swatted her hand away and tried to walk around her to leave.

In a flash, Joyce went up to him again and stood in his way. “You’ve already kissed me. You’re not trying to go back on it, are you?”

“…” Sean’s breathing stagnanted. He turned his head and whispered, “No…”

“That’s good.” Joyce’s eyes curved when she heard him and began to carefully plan things out. “Now that you have kissed me, it confirms that you are determined to marry and live in the castle, and now that I understand your intentions…”

“…”

Sean stared at Joyce. She cleared her throat, picked out what she thought was the most important thing and said, “But you know that I’m a vampire, and things won’t end well with us together. I don’t want to disregard your intentions, so… let’s elope!!”

“…”

“Yes! Elope!”

Joyce’s eyes were shining, and with this long-term meal ticket by her side, wouldn’t she never have to worry about starving to death wherever she traveled?

Even if she spent all of Sean’s money one day, with his sexual charms… no, with his ability, she would not starve to death!

Once Joyce thought of this, she grabbed his hands more excitedly. “Let’s elope!”

“…”

The more Joyce thought about it, the more she felt that Sean was more than a long-term meal ticket. Even if they encountered any danger in the future, she had seen Sean’s strength, and his presence could guarantee her personal safety forever!

With her thoughts like this, she grabbed Sean’s arm more tightly and looked at him with sparkling eyes.

Sean looked down at her and said, “Wake up.”

“No!” Joyce could not hear the displeasure in his voice. She still happily said, “You just kissed me, and you need to be responsible for me.”

“That… doesn’t count.” Sean dodged and looked away.

Joyce saw that he was shy and gladly approached him. “It doesn’t count?”

“…yeah.”

“Then what do you think counts?”

“A-at least…”

Sean stuttered as he spoke but suddenly froze in the middle.

Because—

Joyce stood on her tiptoes and landed a kiss on his lips.

The kiss was like a spell, Sean was rooted in place.

The morning was full of dew, the sun was rising and the area carried an earthy scent. His gaze was fixed on the face close to his for a long time, and his breath and heartbeat seemed to have stilled at the same time.

Joyce’s heart was beating like a drum.

Well… it was the first time she kissed someone. She did it recklessly, and when she realized it, she quickly increased her distance from him.

“How about this?” Even though her heart was beating fast, Joyce held her chin up calmly and said, “I will be responsible for you.”

Something like this did not make much of a difference to Joyce, but she still felt a little embarrassed when she said it.

Sean did not answer, and when Joyce was about to ask again, she saw him rushing out of the corridor with a red face. He left her standing there alone.

It was not until she came back to reality and looked in Sean’s direction that she saw there was no one left. She scratched her head skeptically. “No way… how can he be so shy? I haven’t even…”

Joyce did not finish murmuring. The sensation on her lips that she had noticed before from the forced kiss had come back. Joyce’s face was instatnly covered with a crimson glow.

Her fingers touched the place where the kiss was made, and the blush on her cheeks spread to the tips of her ears.

She looked around and quickly ran into a room as she covered her burning face.
