She didn’t know what to say anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy’s footsteps echoed just outside the wardrobe. Adelina could even hear her fingers brushing against the cabinet door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, staying completely still was clearly the safest choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time she’d ever been this close to Felyn. The first time someone had touched her there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrapped in Felyn’s scent, her gaze began to grow unfocused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn could feel her racing heartbeat, the heat rising from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this narrow, dark, enclosed space… one of his hands was still resting on Adelina’s chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because Dorothy was right outside, Adelina didn’t dare to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how you looked at it, this was a scene straight out of a fantasy for Felyn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he wasn’t going to deny it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a normal teenage boy. With one hand around a soft, slender waist, and the other pressed against a noble young lady’s chest… there was no way he could say, “I don’t feel anything. Clients are just walking ATM machines to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Desire was normal. The important thing was how to handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were just some average guy, maybe once Dorothy walked away, he’d try something shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Adelina looked especially tempting right now. Her half-lidded eyes shimmered with a dazed glow, her trembling body stirred up a powerful urge to hold her tight, and the soft scent of rose-tea hair floated all around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Felyn wasn’t just some average guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was here to provide a professional service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything he did—everything—was to make his clients feel happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls had their own desires too. The key was that theirs were rooted in emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could make Adelina feel safe, help her feel respected rather than violated, her anxiety would gradually fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly released the arm holding her waist and gently placed his other hand on the top of her head, brushing his fingers through her soft rose-tea hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hang in there, Adelina,” he whispered softly into her ear, his tone calm and steady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they stayed there like that—Felyn inside the wardrobe, one hand gently petting her head, the other still… resting on her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pose was awkward, to say the least, but the warmth and rhythm of his touch helped calm Adelina. She wasn’t trembling as much now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy’s footsteps began to fade. It seemed the princess hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Daiyi, it’s about time. Let’s head back,” Dorothy’s voice called from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he heard the rustling of people gathering their things, Felyn exhaled deeply in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whew…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully put some distance between them, sliding his hand away from Adelina’s chest. But that warm, soft feeling remained etched in his memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After such close contact, the first thing to do wasn’t to savor it—but to ask how the client felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adelina… that was an accident. I didn’t mean to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked her straight in the eye, trying his best to appear sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina slowly lifted her teary gaze. Through the faint sliver of light from the wardrobe crack, Felyn caught a glimpse of her delicate, flushed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn… you… you bullied me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t even sure what part of it had been “bullying,” and she knew deep down that it hadn’t been intentional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, she didn’t dislike it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re going to be husband and wife someday anyway… So him touching me a little early isn’t that big a deal… right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, being touched like that for the first time had left her feeling shy… and embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just wanted Felyn to react—to say something, or do something. Anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Felyn picked up on what she was thinking. He pulled her gently into his chest, letting her forehead rest against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, Adelina. Things were a little chaotic just now. But I’ll take responsibility, okay? You can tell me to do anything. Whatever it takes to make you feel safe again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll take responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those words caused her flustered embarrassment to morph into something else entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take responsibility… Does he mean… forever?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the sound of the box door closing confirmed that the princess and Daiyi had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“F-Felyn… do you really mean it? Will you take responsibility for me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the room cleared, Adelina still clung tightly to his waist, unwilling to let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-Yeah… Anything you want me to do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn was still trying to calm her down. The last thing he wanted was for her to feel awkward or upset about what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anything, huh… And you won’t get mad?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the words left his mouth, Felyn regretted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if she’s like one of those girls in novels who just chops it off with a knife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But… she doesn’t seem like that kind of person, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While his mind was spiraling, he suddenly felt his collar being tugged down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, all he could see was rose-tea hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something warm and soft touched his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina had closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and gently pressed her lips to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“T-There. That makes us even,” she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is over and done with now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She forced herself to meet his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I-I mean, there’s nothing embarrassing about kissing my future husband, right?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…That’s it?” Felyn smiled softly, rubbing her head, “If that’s the punishment, I think I got off easy. I touched a beautiful girl’s chest and still got a kiss in return. That doesn’t seem fair. You can hit me if you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Y-You dummy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina gave him a light punch in the chest, her voice soft and syrupy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she hadn’t noticed the slight stiffness in Felyn’s smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t stupid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he pretended to be clueless, it was clear enough what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When a prim and proper noble girl’s first instinct after being groped isn’t to slap you, but to kiss you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant only one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina had fallen for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Zervanie, she had fallen for the “fantasy version” of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Let’s get out of here. It’s too hot,” Felyn said, opening the wardrobe door and stepping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t happy—not even a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing to celebrate about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d already dealt with this with Viloti and Zervanie. Now he had to figure out what to do with Adelina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then there was the contract—set to expire in just a few months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he vanish like he did with Zervanie?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or keep his distance, like with Viloti?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, for now, he decided not to think about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were more immediate concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiyi… or some other client could walk into the box at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, even if Zervanie herself jumped off the stage and came charging in, Felyn wouldn’t be surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was way too close…” Adelina fanned her flushed face with her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, I’m heading out now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand lingered on his chest for a moment before sliding away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to leave, but her rational side told her she had to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay. I’ll see you later at the villa in the Dunk District.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adelina nodded, adjusted her dress, and left the private box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn watched her go, his heart heavy with mixed emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but think about what was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is going to be a problem…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before he could process it further, that problem was pushed aside—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because a bigger one showed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Adelina opened the box door… a pair of pinkish-purple twin-tails appeared in the doorway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forgot my bag—wait… Miss Adelina? And… who is this gentleman?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Dorothy stood at the entrance, staring at Adelina—still blushing with obvious girlish shyness—then shifted her gaze to Felyn behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1331,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","6a8fa75febfd7c4bf5b6e5f8b084b459749ce575679cc2b833205ef10671a4a5","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-189","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-187",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
