[BL] Accidentally Becoming the Healer of the Deranged Archduke novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366: Archduke’s Failed Seduction

The soft sheets covered the freshly bathed Xion, dressed in loose night clothes.

The Archduke who had looked nearly possessed just an hour ago was now serene. Or at least he appeared calm enough. There was no fire in his voice, no fury in his movements.

Yet as he leaned over him, Xion didn’t dare to speak. He honestly couldn’t trust his stupid senses, which had a tendency to shut down whenever he was with Darius.

He was completely blaming this elf for being so pretty. Yup, it really wasn’t my fault.

The system had been waiting for Darius to leave its host alone so it could speak to Xion. However, when it heard Xion’s inner thoughts, it was left speechless.

The way things were, it was impossible for the Archduke to stay away from Xion for now. Sighing, the system decided to leave and... read more Bl novels to enrich its knowledge.

Xion felt the slight static noise in his brain vanish and helplessly looked at the being looming over him. Damn you, system.

Nonetheless, his attention was soon captivated by the sight in front.

In one hand, Darius held a delicate porcelain jar of ointment, with the other, he carefully painted it across his bruised lips.

The touch of the fingertips was cool against his heated skin. Xion subconsciously sighed as it soothed the sting.

As for why such an ointment, which was so perfectly suited for this kind of thing, had been waiting in the room, Xion didn’t dare summon the courage to ask.

Knowing Darius, he suspected it was deliberately prepared. As though his lover had expected to see him in this state.

As always, he wanted to use his healing ability, but was stopped by the cold glare.

Even now, he couldn’t quite meet those lowered eyes.

I should be the one angry, not him.

Forcing himself to remain calm, he lay still.

He could feel his heart thrumming unevenly. Even his breath was shuddering whenever that calloused finger ghosted to the corners of his mouth.

Exactly where Darius had bitten him so many times.

For a while, the only sound was the faint scrape of balm being scooped from the jar and the subtle hitch of breathing.

"Stay by my side," Darius finally broke the silence. "You have to."

The desperation hidden under those flat words had Xion’s heart melt. He wouldn’t just vanish if he stayed away from Darius.

But he couldn’t speak that aloud.

The sudden pain in his head had been enough of a warning. Even if he hadn’t spoken with his system yet, he knew it was forbidden to tell anything related to the system to any other mortals.

His lover was uneasy, and he couldn’t offer any explanation. It was truly...

Slowly, the tight grip on the duvet faltered as Xion reached forward and cupped Darius’ face, letting his thumb trace over the high cheekbone.

With a slight smile that finally graced his features, he shook his head weakly. "...I can’t always be here."

Just a few words, and Xion felt how the muscle in Darius’ jaw jumped under his palm.

Yet the finger didn’t stop applying the strokes over the soft skin of his lips.

Xion let his hand wander over the frown, easing it with his gentle caresses.

When he didn’t get any reply, he said again. This time with more firmness.

"I need to meet the healers. I... I also want to see the place you built for the school and the healing house."

There was still no response.

With hindsight, he realized that Darius was doing it again. He was trying to divert his attention from the healers. How sly.
