Chapter 1012 My Beautiful Monster Part 113
SUMIRE/NORAH
When she woke up she did feel really sleepy- Aoi-san mentioned that time in the s.p.a.ce and the real world differ. But, she hadn"t realized how much time. This is bad, she has already lost three days. "I can feel it, now that I am the main soul in this body. This child will be born soon." When this child is born, her time will be up.
Sumire didn"t dwell on it for too long when she realized what Jacks just said.
"Us?" Sumire repeated and Jacks beamed as she continued. "Do you mean-?"
"The others are here too." Jacks explained.
Sumire"s eyes brightened. "Will I be able to see them soon?"
"I"ll send word that he is allowing visitors now. Gosh, it"s been way too long."
Her gaze softens. "It really has." She has missed Jacks, Elza and Lyra. Aside from Jacks, the other two never stepped into the cycle of reincarnation.
Jacks grinned. "I see you two still like public s.e.x."
Sumire rolled her eyes. "He seems to have a thing about claiming me in public."
"Mine." Lucifer pulled her into his arms s.h.i.+elding her from Jacks.
"And yet, if you look too long he gets like this." Sumire pointed out.
"Oh come on Alex."
"Mine." Lucifer repeated.
She lightly kissed his cheek. "Behave, okay?"
Lucifer grunted but released his shadows from her.
Jacks whistled. "Even after so many centuries. Your control over this brute surprises me."
Sumire giggled. "His brooding side is very attractive." She reaches over and traces his lips. "He has these lips that are very suitable for kissing."
To prove her point she wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him deeply, matching the pa.s.sion he showed her before Jacks arrived.
She has always enjoyed kissing him. Perhaps it"s because they haven"t been together in this
By the end of it, there was no sign of sulking Lucifer, instead there was a huge smirk on his face. She noticed there was still traces of their combined saliva on the edge of his lips. Sumire reaches over to wipe it, only for Lucifer to grab her hand and stick it inside his mouth.
He is licking each of her fingers sensually with his tongue.
Jacks only beamed happily but she could feel lecherous gazes coming from somewhere. Sumire didn"t have to turn around to know where those gazes were coming from. It didn"t bother her but there was something sinister and familiar about those looks.
Seeing Lex enjoying himself, Sumire simply watched him fascinated. This new appearance of his is lovely. His body has always been sculpted to resemble a warrior G.o.d. But, none of his previous reincarnations have made him look so regal, and elegant. Not even their first life where they both belonged to important families.
Sumire felt Lex gaze on her and she tilted her head innocently as she spoke into his mind.
"Enjoying your snack my love?"
Lucifer smirked.
"Certainly, but I enjoyed the meal I was having earlier. For now the snack will suffice, but I am very hungry love."
"Hmmm, I suppose I can make it up to you. What kind of seasoning would you like?"
"Something sweet."
Jacks coughed. "Hey, did you two forget that I was here!"
Lucifer rolled his eyes and sighs. "Can"t you see that I am flirting with my wife?"
Sumire giggled. He can be so silly sometimes.
"You can flirt all you want later, I actually came here to make a report." Jacks said.
At those words Sumire watched Lucifer"s expression harden.
"I caught the ones responsible but-" Jacks hesitated and looked at her. "They are members of the holy knights."
Oh.
"Just two things, I need you to do for me urgently. Find a way to check on the Holy Knights, please. I may be in a suspended sleep, but I will still be able to read your thoughts."
The Holy Knights, that"s the name of the group the current her belongs to.
"Can I come too?" Sumire asked.
Lucifer continued to frown. "I don"t want to deny you anything Norah love, but these people are openly hostile to the current you."
"But, I still need to see them." Sumire said, determined.
She watched as his expression changed again and her heart felt like it would stop seeing his pained expression. Lucifer simply nodded and asked Jacks to lead the way. He wasn"t saying anything to her, but Sumire noted how he kept stealing glances and- her gaze fell on their intertwined hands.
"I don"t want you to fall." Lucifer said, speaking up as he caught her gaze.
Sumire"s gaze softens. This part of him remains the same, this kindness.
Jacks led them to a courtyard where there was a group of ten people, tied up. Upon reaching them, their gazes immediately fell on her, surprised. But, that surprise immediately turned into hostility as they looked at hers and Lucifer"s intertwined hands.
No, what truly triggered them was the marks visible on her neck and the fact that she smelled like Lucifer. From a glance she could tell these people were
"Hahahaha I knew it! I knew she was a leech."
"A wh.o.r.e."
"How does it feel Ibuki? To cheat on your husband before you"re even married?"
"I guess you don"t feel even an ounce of guilt that everyone has been looking for you."
"These people have so much resentment for Sumire, for her. What has the present her done for so many people to hate her?"
Nothing, it"s not her current self"s fault. All this bad luck and negativity. She suspects it"s the work of the curse. When Lucifer transferred the curse to her, he didn"t transfer his darkness or his uncontrollable urge for blood. No, what he transferred must have been his bad luck.
During their first few lifetimes, Sumire noticed the growing hostility of others towards her. At first she simply dismissed it. She can"t expect to be liked by everyone. No matter how kind she is to others, there will always be those who misinterpret her actions. However, it became very clear to her in their third life that something was wrong. By the fourth, she was investigating it alongside the foreign prince that was visiting.
