Jill 23
Joining Lilius who was on the bed, Jill also lied down.
Those eyes that melted like honey did not meet his gaze.
It was because Jill was gazing at Lilius, but Lilius was gazing at his triangular ears.
“Beastmen are unfair. I also wanted ears and tail.”
“It’s very troublesome. It’s hard to not read people’s thoughts, you have to be careful when you sit down, and so on. You’re fine with that?”
“I can deal with that much.”
The slender fingers traced the edge of his ears.
The fingertips drew circles as they rubbed his ears, as if massaging them. Being petted like this, with faint warmth coming from the fingertips, a rumble rose in Jill’s throat and goosebumps ran up his spine.
Honestly, was this punishment for something?
It was unavoidable that Jill would think so.
His ears and tail were erogenous zones. Those sensitive spots were what he was presenting to Lilius.
On top of that, they were also on a bed together. This was yet another issue.
Thinking that this could have been another beastman, his insides whirled, protesting in discomfort.
Even if the worst happened and Lilius was attacked, he wouldn’t be able to say a complaint.
Because for beastmen, on the bed, words like “let me touch your ears” were stock phrases for the bedroom.

While Jill had a faraway look as he racked his brains, Lilius stirred.
“……Does it feel that bad?”
“It doesn’t feel that good.”
It felt too good, and that’s why I have to bear with it.
While continuing the sentence in his heart, a sigh slipped out of Jill. At his frank reply, Lilius seemed to be hurt. His eyes wavered, and his hands moved away from the ears.
“Sorry for touching.”
“……?”
Fortunately, he had taken his hands away.
However, Lilius was now curled up into a ball instead, hugging his pillow and sulking.
Today, Jill kept being played around. He knew he should just leave it alone, but for some reason, he couldn’t help but worry over it.
What in the world was he doing? The moment he was about to call out, Lilius uttered the words he feared.
“Whatever. There’s other beastmen besides you. I’ll just touch someone else’s ears.”
“—Tch.”
As soon as he understood Lilius’s words, his head heated up like boiling/seething. The extreme emotions pierced through his skin.
Those thin hands, those slender fingers—they were going to touch the skin of some other beastman he didn’t know. Those sweet eyes he saw just moments ago would gaze into another person’s eyes.
It would be another man, not Jill.
When that scene echoed in his mind, he couldn’t stand it. Rage gushed out from inside, and he let out an anguished voice.
By the time he came back to himself, his impulse had already made him seize the wrist that was leaving.
He completely caught Lilius’s gaze that previously refused to look at him, wishing to sew it to himself.
“You’re going to do the same thing with some other man?”
“Haa, what’s it…… Let me go.”
“Answer me. Are you going to act spoiled and nestle up to another man like this?”
“……Why’re you mad. It’s up to me what I want to do, isn’t it. ……Besides, you’re the one that doesn’t like it.”
Lilius’s words cooled down his head.
That was right.
He was the one that thought it bothersome. He was the one that thought “fortunately, he let go”.
Why was he himself losing his temper? Why was this so intolerably unpleasant?
In Lilius’s pupils, someone else would be reflected. Lilius, who was cagey like a cat hissing to ward off anybody who tried to get close, would divulge his heart to someone else. Right now, the idea of these repulsed Jill.
Those should be for him—they should be directed at himself and himself only. Such filthy possessiveness was held in his heart.
He finally noticed it.
“What are you doing, fucking idiot. Get away from me!”
“……”
The hand that was shaken off by Lilius shook faintly.
He was rattled.
At the once clear emotions that had ended up being dyed.
At the fact that he finally saw the outline of the feelings that he had been denying.
Now these feelings were finally recognised, they helped attach a name to Jill’s idiotic and clumsy behaviour up until now.
The reasons he spoke of were lies to himself. Because even if he recognised it, there was no point.
Yet, he was thrust into an unexpected situation.
A situation that was making him start to think of monopolising Lilius.
Jill held feelings of love towards Lilius who already had a lover.
The misunderstandings….
That is one of the reasons you shouldn’t argue with a drunk. Eh…I think Jill is misunderstanding the whole situation between Lilius and that other beastman. I mean Lilius said it himself before while talking with Seth, he knows that beastmen can have same-sex relationships but he himself can’t be in one, for now.
Thank you for the chapter!!! 😍
Argh. Jill, wait till Lilius is sober to talk. >_< and be honest about what you feel.
Whatever happened to the sister coming to the beastman empire? 🤔 wasn’t she on her way
Thanks for the chapter ❤
Tbf I’m pretty sure they use carriages in this universe. Lel she gon be here in like 6 months
Honestly, I don’t know why I remember them mentioning that she was almost there lol
I probably just misread something though 😅
Thank you for the chapter
If Lily was in a relationship with that other beastman, then he should already know about the ears and tail’ sensibility, right? It’s logic! But I guess Jill is not in the right mindset to think logically around Lilius. 😅
Thanks for the chapter!
Wait, the other dude was a beastman?
They’re idiots, the lot of them.
This is painful
Awww Jill is jealous and possessive and is not oblivious anymore, now make babies
He’s gonna be flippin’ happy when he finds out huh?
I pity him. That must be a horrible feeling (•́ – •̀｡)
Thank you for the chapter 💛
