In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

The kiss between Theos and Luna went on for several seconds, even turning into a minute when Luna sucked his lips without stopping.

Theos was a little surprised but didn't hold back at all.

'Wow, I guess she's a little jealous for kissing Alice that time...', Theos reminded with amusement, enjoying the moment.

"Ha...ha", after a while, Luna and Theos broke apart.

Luna was breathing heavily, her face completely red from lack of oxygen and intense kissing.

Instead, Theos smirked, licking his lips in front of a shuddering Luna watching his actions.

But Theos left it at that, after all, he couldn't eat her in the middle of the academy hallway.

Not because he was afraid of getting caught, after all, he couldn't care less if he got expelled.

But... Luna's first time would be in an academy hallway. Theos would not allow his beloved wife's first time to be that way. He wanted each of his wives' first time to be unique, beautiful, and unforgettable.

And there was also another reason... Danger of someone seeing Luna's body. As a man, how could he not be upset that someone else would look at his lovely bride? Even if other women looked at her, he would feel anger.

Indeed, just imagining that, veins stood out on Theos' forehead. But he soon calmed down.

"I've made a decision," Theos whispered, staring at Luna.

She became a little nervous. "What do you mean you made a decision? Of what?" she asked carefully, her eyes gradually darkening.

"..." Theos said nothing; he just stared at her. He couldn't describe the feeling he was currently feeling, but it was like... Feeling a thousand knives stabbing his heart he saw Luna's empty stare.

With her parents gravely ill with a curse and more likely to die than live, what was he to her? The one person she loved the most and for that, the one person she hadn't fallen apart for...

She couldn't trust her brother, they almost treated each other like strangers who only shared blood.

Theos hugged Luna, tighter than the other time, this time in an embrace of love and protection.

"I've decided that our next adventure will be soon; tomorrow, we're going to save your parents," he declared, caressing Luna's back as if it were the most precious thing to him.

Luna unconsciously closed her eyes as she received Theos' protective embrace, she leaned against his chest. But upon hearing his words, her eyes snapped open. "What, save my parents?" she asked, in disbelief.

Theos smiled. "Yes, we're going to save your parents, rather, cure them of their curse," he paused, to continue. "I don't know many of my in-laws I haven't even met them, but I know very well that the anxiety of you gradually walking around losing your parents is getting to you."

"And from the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry for not helping you when I should have. Forgive me for being selfish and only focusing on me. I'm sorry that my love was shallow. "

"I'm not good at this, you know; I never felt love until less than a month ago. I cared for you, protected you, and loved you, but I didn't do the most important thing... Support you in your problems and your goals."

Each word from Theos shook Luna's soul more and above all, her heart. She clung tighter to Theos. She didn't know why she did it, but she clung tighter to him, not wanting to let go.

Without even realizing it, the tears were released one by one, until they became a cascade of tears that seemed to have no end.

Maybe because those were the words she always wanted to hear, those words of support she always wanted to hear. She loved Theos, even if it was sudden; his brilliance in fighting, his looks, and most of all, his personality, so vivacious and determined yet caring and kind, made her love him madly.

Her love led her to want to help him in all his goals; she had gone to the Academy, leaving her father's critical condition to the maids so she could be with him, she could support him, and help him.

She had thought more than once if she was a bad daughter to do that if her parents would hate her for that decision. But she worked hard in silence every day, ever since her parents got sick she tried to find a cure, without success...

And her brother's obsession with being superior didn't help either.

Those tears contained her fears, her relief, and above all... Happiness.

Theos got a lump in his throat as he listened to Luna's crying. Even for him, every word he said had not been thought, but just came out.

It was as simple as letting go a little.

And hearing his own words, he felt like crap. 'My love was only based on just not letting my wives die, that's all? I'm a villain, just like a human being, not a monster...' he thought reproachfully to himself.

He had always been a narcissist to an extreme degree, but now, for the first time in a long time, he felt disappointed with himself.

The love he was receiving was not the same as what he was giving.

Luna's cries gradually subsided, replaced by the sound of her soft breathing.

"Don't feel bad," she whispered, slightly surprising Theos who listened to her intently.

Without separating her face from Theos' chest, she continued. "Just like you, I would feel bad too if you felt bad..."

Luna's soft voice, like an ethereal breeze, passed through Theos' ears.

Theos smiled, stopping his caresses and instead, pulling away from Luna.

Their gazes met again, Luna's red eyes making Theos' heart ache even more. Who wanted to see his girl cry? No one...

But still, he smiled, not because he felt happy, but to calm Luna's already agitated mind. If she saw him with an equally sad expression, wouldn't she feel even worse?

And even though there was a good chance she'd know his smile was fake, he still smiled.

"We've missed almost the entire class...", Theos said slowly, looking at the time on a clock that sat on the wall.

Luna nodded, running her hands over her face to wipe away the tears.

Seeing her face gradually getting better, Theos remembered something very important.

"Did I ever say I love you?"
