[BL] Seducing Male Leads To Survive As A Villain In A Novel-Chapter 357: Act Fast

"Really...?" Lysander’s eyes lit up, excited with a smile as he stared at Eden.

Eden smiled back at him as he cupped his cheeks in his hands. He didn’t say anything but leaned in for a kiss, his lips gently brushing against Lysander’s.

It was a brief kiss. Soon, Eden pulled back as he stared into his face. "Now can you go back to sleep?"

Lysander didn’t reply. He grabbed Eden by the neck and pulled him in for a longer kiss. His lips crashed into his, his tongue parted and made its way inside. Lysander filled Eden’s mouth with his own.

It was a desperate kiss. A hungry one. Lysander’s tongue ran through his mouth while he kissed him hard, swallowing him up in all possible ways.

Their breaths grew heavy as they pulled and pushed into the kiss. Lysander’s hands rested on Eden’s neck while he pulled him deeper.

"Ouch..." Lysander broke from the kiss. He felt a pinch of pain in his back as he held onto Eden.

"Are you okay...?" Eden asked, his hand over his chest as he stared into his face, worried.

"I’m fine... don’t worry..." Lysander smiled at him, eager to continue the kiss.

But Eden casually smiled at him. "I think you should get some rest now." He ran a hand through his hair, patting him. "Get well soon so you can continue. Okay?"

"But I’m fine now..." Lysander protested.

Eden cupped his cheeks. "No, you’re not. So don’t be stubborn and go to sleep. Okay?"

Lysander hesitated with a smile, then nodded. "Okay. I’ll listen and rest," he said, holding onto his hands. "But you have to stay with me..."

"Huh?" Eden stared at him.

"Stay with me at least until I fall asleep. I think I’ll sleep faster with you around..." He pulled on his hand.

Eden sighed. "Is that so? Then you’ll have to lie down."

Lysander obediently lay down, smiling at Eden, who ran a hand through his hair. "So? What do I do for you? Sing you a lullaby?"

"No." Lysander pulled him by the hand as Eden lay down beside him on the bed. "You just need to lie beside me and I’ll be able to sleep peacefully."

He wrapped his arms around Eden, who lay beside him, resting his head against his chest and cuddling up close.

Eden lay there, watching Lysander wrap around him. He smiled as he gently ran his fingers through his hair. "You really are clingy, aren’t you...?"

"Mmmm," Lysander hummed, his eyes closed as he hugged him tightly.

Eden lay like that, letting Lysander hold onto him as he combed his fingers through his hair, healing him with his powers while watching him rest.

The room was silent as the two of them lay there. They didn’t speak any words as Lysander slowly drifted to sleep. Eden lay there beside him, watching him sleep while he healed him of his internal and external injuries.

The Imperial Palace was still in a mess that day. They were working on the ruins Eden had left it in, fixing things up in haste as instructed by the Imperial Emperor.

Mr. Albert was in Felix’s room that evening. He was panicked, pacing back and forth while thinking about what he was going to do.

The plan was a failure. He had failed all the chances he had, and he was sure the Emperor was coming for him and his son at any moment.

He watched Felix sit up in bed, drinking from a glass of medicine he had brought for him. It was meant to clear his mind from the fuzzy state he was in.

"What’s wrong, Dad...?" Felix looked up at his father. He had been hovering around the room for a while now, so he was curious to know what the issue was.

Mr. Albert halted as he turned, staring at him. He didn’t know how to break the news to his son. Felix clearly wasn’t aware of what was happening because Mr. Albert had been trying to keep him asleep and unaware of everything.

But with the situation at hand, that seemed like an impossible task to maintain.

He stared at his son for a while.

Felix ran a hand through his head; he could feel pain rushing through it. "What am I doing here...?" He looked around. "Where am I...? What... What happened...? My head hurts..."

Mr. Albert stared at him with a sigh. He didn’t know what to say.

"Dad...?" Felix stared at him. He could strangely read the expression on his face. "What happened...?"

The drink was making him sober, clearing his mind enough to pick up on his surroundings and question things.

Mr. Albert knew the danger of the medicine he had given him in the drink. It would likely make him ask questions like...

"Where is Eden...?" Felix asked as soon as he thought of him. "Where is he...? Why am I here...? Where...?" Pain rushed through his head as he shut his eyes, pressing his hand against his forehead.

Mr. Albert hesitated and then stared at him for a moment. He had already given it some thought, and this seemed like the best decision he could make at the moment.

A decision he had to make to protect his son by all means.

"Get ready, we’re leaving soon," he said.

Confused, Felix stared at him. "Huh? We’re leaving? Why...? To where...?" He was at a loss for words.

Mr. Albert sighed. "Don’t ask questions. Just do as I said. Get ready, let’s leave. I’ll explain everything later."

Felix simply stared at his father. He could feel the urgency in his tone and felt it was best to listen to him now and ask questions later.

Just then, a knock came at their door. And when Mr. Albert opened it, he saw a guard standing there.

"The Emperor summons you," he informed him.

And at that moment, Mr. Albert could already tell what was coming for him.
