---- Chapter 562 "| learned it from watching a drama series. The main leads pretend to kiss with passion, and the bad guys come out because they feel safe," Byleth said. She took a breath and tried to kiss me again as hard as she could. Her lack of experience did not stop her. 'She's not wrong about that... | guess.' | could only play along, She shook a little. Her muscles stayed tight, and her breathing grew heavier with each second. | wondered if the killing intent had grown so strong that it forced her into high alert.

Byleth might act like a cool and aloof fighter who cared little for romance, yet she was still a very bodacious young woman. She looked gorgeous. All that training had shaped a lean and toned frame that carried real power. | started to feel it, too. My heart raced. My control slipped, and | needed to steady myself somehow. "Hey, | was wondering. Are all of you fighters able to sense killing intent like that? Can you teach me? | want to protect myself," | asked and searched for a safer topic. "No. People like me train from childhood. My mentor left me in the woods to train alone.

| spent long standoffs against wild ---- beasts and kept my guard up against sudden attacks. | learned to sense things like killing intent. Humans act like any other beasts. When they want to kill, you can sense it in their aura." She pushed her tongue into my mouth. "Do not bother with training, Boss. From now on, | will follow you. | will go wherever you go. | will serve as your weapon and your shield." Well, she was my personal bodyguard, all right. "| appreciate your loyalty, but do we have to kiss for this long?" | asked My control slipped again.

Desire swelled and pushed against my restraint. | had to stop her before this went too far. Byleth was still an ingénue. She might fall in love with someone else one day. This would only hurt her if it continued. "You're right." She let me go and stood. Her eyes looked glassy, and her breath came fast. "So this is how a kiss feels. It is very electrifying. Very pleasurable." | could not believe it. Did she really say that? Was she experimenting with me? "W-What was that?" A faint blush touched her cheeks. "Nothing. I said you were right." ---- "Good. Please get off me.

| am sure the killer saw no chance and left," | said At this rate, | might lose control before the hitman even showed up. To my horror, Byleth removed her top and settled on my lap again. The sight of her bare skin stunned me. "Aaah! What are you doing?!" "You were right, Boss. A kiss will not lure them out. | still sense killing intent. They are still here. We need to do more. Put your hand on me and feel me up, Boss."
