History At The Library Chapter 43

Right now, the images of the diligent bookworm and the devil buried in rumors wouldn't overlap in her head. Was he a person, who purely loved books, unlike what the rumors say, or could the situations that belong only to novels actually exist? Vivian couldn't st.i.tch together an image, so she thought of the crazy possibility that he was a conman who pretended to be the Grand Duke. Of course, since he looked nearly the same as his Majesty, there was no that was true.

Vivian slowly moved her lips, “Then what do you wish to do now?”

Since she already felt like someone who abandoned themselves – it was the truth that she felt nervous. Just what exactly did he want to do? Would he spread rumors that, in reality, Perdi was a dog leashed to the Royal Palace, and at that a librarian!?

Even if she suspected that the rumors that surrounded him were false, Aidan would remain the Grand Duke of Black. It couldn't be helped that all those malignant rumors had been brainwashed since people were born, including herself, and it became natural to consider them as the absolute worst.

Indeed, he thought to blackmail her with……..”Well, it's not something all that special.”

However, this time as well he escaped the bounds of what she'd expected.

“I would like to help Vivian's activities as an author.”

“Help?”

Vivian once again grew blank.

Help, how?

Vivian was a librarian at the Royal Palace – a position where she could easily gain any literature that was being sold. Not to mention, she was the top erotic novel author Perdie, Vivian herself, no matter how one searched through the Empire. This was something that not only herself, but others acknowledged.

“Aren't you curious about the answer to the last question?”

“The last question?”

Vivian hurriedly recalled her thoughts. She had only seen two erotic scenes, which she had not partic.i.p.ated in, but scribbled notes on, which were also too embarra.s.sing to even speak of? If she could go back in time, she would kick herself when she was writing that last line and break the feathered pin in half. Why . . .  was he talking about that precise line? If it was the solution to that sentence…….

“Could it be…… Your Highness, that's a crime.”

“What exactly are you imagining right now?”

As Vivian attempted to persuade him with a firm expression, Aidan, as he guessed of the contents of her mind, furrowed in suspicion. Only then, Vivian's cheeks grew hot in embarra.s.sment and she shook her head as though to dismiss what she had just said.

“Then does that mean you'll set aside funds for me to use?”

At that, he responded in a conclusive tone, “I mean to break your contract of purity for you.”

She gasped.  “R . . really?”

“You may use my body any way you wish.”

Body?

At the explicit description, Vivian's gaze naturally dropped towards his firm and lean body. A body of the golden ratio like a sculpture…….As Vivian shook her hand back and forth at the edge of his chest, Aidan abruptly lifted his head in surprise.

“Are you satisfied with the conditions?”

A fancy smile took its place at his lips. It was almost as though he calmly waited for Vivian's permission to be given. Vivian, even as she thought to herself that his actions were coy, she almost subconsciously nodded her head.

“Y-you're not supposed to say such things recklessly. You lack cautiousness. How would you know what I will ask of you…….?” Vivian appeared to strongly believe that she was far more beastly than the notorious Black Duke. Aidan momentarily gazed at the fidgety lady in front of him.

“Do you truly not need me? It appeared as though you were at a bottleneck.”

“Your newest work seems as though it will be based on another's intimacy.”

Vivian considered it a relief a thousand times over that she had not written down the Emperor's exact description as she patted her chest. If the fact that she'd taken into account the Emperor's s.e.x was known by anyone, even if it was the Black Duke, they would question her sanity.

“If that's the case, there will be a clear difference between scenes you've created based off the s.e.x and the scenes that aren't based off it. This would cause the overall quality of the novel to decrease.”
