Villainess X Villain: They are obsessed with each other!

Chapter 195: Chapter: 194 A lustful woman’ desire [3]

Uriel slowly stepped out of the white carriage while holding Cecilia’s hand gently as she descended beside him with careful movements.

The warm sunlight fell softly across his golden hair while the white robes of the church moved lightly beneath the wind.

And the moment he appeared...The entire front gate fell into complete silence.

Even the servants who had prepared themselves mentally beforehand still froze slightly after seeing him directly.

Because honestly...It was very difficult to look away from him.

His face carried a calm beauty that almost did not feel real while his peaceful smile alone made the heavy atmosphere soften naturally.

Even without his title, even without the church, and even without the holy robes...

People would still notice him immediately in any crowd...because he looked strangely untouchable.

Like someone painted inside an old holy story.

Meanwhile....Ciel was fighting for her life.

Inside her head.

’My god...He’s even prettier up close...’

Her soul nearly left her body right there at the front gate.

Beside her, the exhausted maid quietly lowered her head. ’Please behave like a normal noblewoman for once in your life...’

At that moment, Uriel heard several footsteps approaching calmly toward him.

”It has been quite a while since we last met. Do you still remember me, Your Holiness?”

Duke Scarlet spoke with a large smile while stepping forward proudly. His broad body alone almost blocked half the sunlight behind him.

At the same time, countless gazes immediately landed on the Duke from every direction.

Mostly because he had just casually walked directly toward the Saint without hesitation like he was greeting an old friend at a bar.

”Hoho...” Uriel let out a soft chuckle.

”How could I forget? You are one of the prides of the Holy Empire after all, Duke Scarlet. It is an honor to meet you again.”His voice remained calm and gentle as always.

The Duke immediately laughed loudly while scratching his moustache proudly.

”Please don’t say such exaggerated things. People simply enjoy talking too much.”

The knights around him shifted akwardly...after all....the Duke clearly looked extremely pleased after hearing that.

The man was practically radiating happiness from his giant moustache.

Soon, the Duke slowly turned toward Cecilia, ”And it has been a while since I last saw you as well, Princess. Have you been doing well?”

Cecilia gently lifted the edge of her white dress before giving a small graceful nod.

”Yes, I have been doing well. It is nice meeting you again, Duke Scarlet.”

Her voice sounded calm and elegant like a proper imperial princess. Unlike a certain red-haired disaster standing nearby.

”Haha, wonderful!”

The Duke clapped once happily before turning back toward Uriel again.

”Now then, allow me to introduce my family properly.”

The moment he said that, his three wives immediately stepped forward together.

And unfortunately....The moment they looked directly at Uriel, their expressions changed slightly.

Their green eyes sparkled brightly while their elegant smiles became noticeably softer.

Honestly, they looked less like noblewomen and more like young girls seeing their first crush.

Even the maids behind them silently understood everything immediately.

Well...To be fair, it was hard not to understand.

”Hello, Your Holiness. I am Ceararose Scarlet, the eldest among the triplets.”

”I am Searose Scarlet, the second eldest.”

”And I am Maryrose Scarlet, the youngest.”

Then all three spoke together at the exact same time. ”It is truly wonderful meeting you.”

Their perfectly synchronized voices echoed beautifully beneath the sunlight.

Several nearby priests and bishops almost looked frightened.

Because hearing three identical women speak together like that was honestly a little terrifying.

Uriel simply smiled gently before shaking their hands one after another politely.

”It is nice meeting you as well, Lady Ceararose Scarlet, Lady Searose Scarlet, and Lady Maryrose Scarlet.”

The three women immediately looked delighted after hearing their names directly from him.

Meanwhile, Duke Scarlet slowly walked forward again before gesturing proudly toward Ciel.

”And lastly, you have already met my daughter before, but still...”

The moment his hand moved toward her...Ciel almost launched herself forward instantly.

Her face was slightly red while her bright green eyes stared directly at Uriel with an intensity that honestly made the nearby maid fear for public safety.

At this point, she no longer looked like a noble lady. She looked like a starving wolf discovering free meat.

Seeing that expression, Cecilia’s eyebrow twitched very slightly.

’What a shameless lustful bitch...’ She cursed silently inside her head while maintaining her elegant smile perfectly outside.

Truthfully, royal education was carrying her entire self-control right now.

”This is Ciel,” Cecilia said calmly. ”You two met recently already, correct?”

”Oh?”

Uriel smiled softly before reaching his hand toward Ciel.

”How could I forget? We only met about a week ago.”

The moment their hands touched....Uriel immediately felt her grip tighten slightly around his hand.

Very slightly...but enough to notice.

Meanwhile, inside Ciel’s mind...

’AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! He touched me willingly!!’

*******

Once the introductions were finally finished, everyone soon moved toward the grand dining hall of the Scarlet Estate.

The long table at the center of the room was already filled with expensive dishes from across the western region.

Freshly cooked meat, warm bread, colorful fruits, rare soups, and expensive wine covered almost the entire table while golden chandeliers illuminated everything beneath a soft glow.

At the head of the table sat Duke Scarlet proudly like a king overseeing a royal banquet.

Beside him sat his three wives in a neat row, all three still occasionally glancing toward Uriel every few seconds like they could not help themselves.

In truth, even after sitting down, the atmosphere still felt strangely unreal to them.

Meanwhile, opposite the Duke sat Uriel peacefully.

And beside him a war was taking its place.

On Uriel’s right side sat Cecilia...Currently smiling..... her smile though, came out as a bit awkward and forced.

Because beneath that graceful smile, Cecilia was fighting an intense internal battle against the overwhelming desire to strangle a certain red-haired noblewoman sitting across from her.

’This shameless woman...’ Cecilia quietly tightened her grip around her fork.

On Uriel’s left side sat Ciel, who had already abandoned all concepts of shame, dignity, restraint, morality, and possibly several church laws.

From the moment they sat down, she had not missed a single opportunity to touch him somehow.

When he pulled his chair back...She helped him sit. When he reached for the utensils...She immediately placed them into his hands personally.

When the servants approached...She dismissed them herself just to get closer again.

At first, Cecilia tried convincing herself those actions were merely excessive hospitality.

Unfortunately....That hope died very quickly.

Because earlier, while everyone was distracted for a moment, Ciel had ”accidentally” spilled water onto Uriel’s clothes.

Directly onto his lap. Then before anyone else could react...

She immediately leaned down and touched him there while apologizing repeatedly with the most fake innocent expression Cecilia had ever seen in her entire life.

Cecilia almost snapped the fork in half just remembering it.

’That bitch...’ The veins near her forehead twitched slightly.

Meanwhile, completely unaware of the war happening beside him, Duke Scarlet smiled warmly toward Uriel. ”Is the food to Your Holiness’ liking?”

Uriel nodded gently while continuing his meal calmly. ”Yes, it is very delicious. The western region truly deserves its reputation. I think the food here could easily be considered among the best in the empire.”

”Haha! You hear that?” The Duke laughed proudly while slapping the table once. ”As expected of our territory!”

The three wives also looked delighted after hearing the praise.

Then...From beside Uriel, Ciel suddenly leaned slightly closer.

”Well,” she said softly with a beautiful smile, ”it is our fortune to be able to welcome the Saint of the Holy Empire personally.”

Her voice sounded elegant and refined.

Unfortunately, her thoughts were absolutely criminal.

”That is exactly why I invited you here.”

As she spoke, she slowly moved closer until part of her chest lightly pressed against Uriel’s shoulder beneath the table.

Cecilia’s smile instantly stiffened.

And then...Ciel leaned near Uriel’s ear slightly before whispering softly enough that only he could hear clearly.

”And if Your Holiness would like to taste milk later...”

Her lips curved beautifully. ”I personally prepared some for you.”
