Chapter 969 My Beautiful Monster Part 70

SUMIRE/NANAKA
Swallowing the lump in her throat, Nanaka moved closer to Sora. The moment she was within arms reach. Sora pulls her into his arms.
"Are you really okay?" Sora asked.
Nanaka nodded. "It seems I still have my divine powers, so I managed.."
What saved her when she almost fell into that black hole, was her divine powers. She did think her circumstances in this lifetime she overlapped with her first life. But, who would have thought that she would be able to use it. She wonders if that means she can use her other abilities from her other lives too.
'iI can experiment with that another day. For now, I have to deal with this situation.'
"I'm glad. That was a really bad situation. I lost you and I panicked.
"Is that why you got hurt?"
"I let my guard down because I was worried about you, so yes."
"I'm sorry." Nanaka apologized.
Sora reaches over and caresses her face causing her heartbeat to increase, and her cheeks to flush red. Nanaka assumed that he would tease her but instead his gaze was gentle.
"Were you going to answer me Nanaka?"
"I-" Nanaka paused thinking about her thoughts before they got attacked.
She knew, didn't she? She has known for a long time, maybe even in their last lives. There is something about them, a new bond. A new red string of fate. But, she didn't want to accept it. She denied it for so long, she pushed him away and the bond would thrash around inside her causing her pain, causing them both pain.
Nanaka takes a deep breath and extends her hand out towards Sora's chest. If she can use her divine powers from her first life, then, there is one way of confirming. She briefly shuts her eyes and concentrates. Feeling a tug, a thread coming from her. She follows the source and when she opens it, she sees a red thread coming from Sora attached to hers.
She knew it, she already did. But this means- Nanaka sobbed and Sora wraps his arms tighter around her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to ask you for this reason."
"S-since when?"
"Since I saw you on that bridge. No, I told you I knew who you were before we met and it had nothing to do with your grandfather. The moment you were born, I knew you were mine. I was only four years old at that time. But, I felt a tug to someone and followed the source to you, a newborn child."
Nananaka sobbed harder. That means, her connection with Lex has been severed for two lifetimes. It was no wonder she couldn't find him.
"Then, why did you entertain my delusion of searching for Lex?"
Sora paused. "Because even though we are connected. There was still a connection between you two. Tell me Nanaka, was there another bond between you two?"
Another bond. Images of Lex drinking her blood, and marking her neck and that strange glowing magical circle around them. Nanaka nodded.
"I-I think Lex called it a blood bond. But, I didn't really understand what it was."
Sora frowns. "I suppose that explains why your magic is a mess."
"It is?"
He nodded. "Just because you reincarnate it doesn't mean you lose the powers you had from your first life. Your actually supposed to get stronger, per reincarnation. But, if it's a blood bond it makes sense. You did say he was cursed but he passed it to you?"
Seeing Soras angry expression, her gaze softens. He truly does care for her doesn't he? Of course he does. It isn't just this life. After they met in the previous life. The rumors about him seeing other women stopped. It didn't take a genius to realize why he was doing it, but she denied it.
Nanaka shakes her head. "When I kissed him the first time he returned to me in that state. It passed. Lex warned me but I was just so relieved to see him alive, and I wanted to share his pain."
"But, you didn't understand the consequences. How careless of you."
"I will do anything for the one I love, aren't you the same?"
"Yeah, that's why even though I loved you like crazy since I laid eyes on you. I didn't say anything."
Nanaka sighs. "Are you trying to guilt trip me now?"
Sora chuckled. "Would guilt tripping you have you fall in my arms or even better on your knees?"
"T-that is inappropriate."
At those words Sora pushes her down until her head hit the pillows. He traces her lips with his thumb. She could see it so very clearly now, the red thread between them. The tug that always brought her back to his side, no matter where.
"Now that we have all the truths out in the open. Will you still deny me Nanaka? Because now that I know that you know, I won't be able to treat you like I did before."
"Would you ignore me? See other women?" Nanaka wondered.
Sora chuckles. "No, I think you realize. It's difficult for me to leave your presence."
Nanaka sighs. "The servants always gossip about you following me around like a stray pet."
Sora bends down to lick her neck causing her to moan softly. "But, a very good-looking pet, wouldn't you say so?"
"Y-your face isn't why I'm accepting you."
"So your accepting me Nanaka?" Sora gave a low dark chuckle. "Or did you just say that to avoid me thinking about other women?"
"I-I know you won't go to others. There hasn't been a rumour about you with other women for at least two centuries. You," Nanaka trails off. "-are mine aren't you?"
Sora nodded as he nibbled on her ear. "I am yours, always. So, Nanaka. Let me show you, why your mine."
"I-I'm nervous." Nanaka admitted. "I haven't, not with anyone except him ever."
Sora pauses. "Not even before you met him?"
"Before then I was a young sheltered noble lady. So, no. There has never been anyone else."
She didn't even think it was possible for her to feel attracted to someone who wasn't Lex.
Sora bends down and whispers in her ear as he intertwined their hands together. "I'll be gentle, I'll show you everything slowly. Just trust me Nanaka."
"Okay."
For the first time since she was separated from Lex, she felt whole. It felt wrong, and yet it also felt right. She wants to truly start a new chapter with this person. Please forgive her Lex.
'In the next life, I will definitely search for you again. I will sever the bond between me and Sora. But for now, just let me have this with him.'
