Chapter 321: What's That Smell?
Experience tales with ???
Mark chuckled and came around to kiss Arit.
"You okay?"
"Mmmhmm."
Arit mumbled something incoherent and Mark frowned in worry before kissing her again. He fixed her hair behind her ear and smiled at her.
"Hey, come on, I know you're okay. Don't tell me the great Queen can't even take that much."
Arit slowly blinked her eyes a few times before she groaned while sitting up. She held her head and used her other hand to massage her stomach just above her crotch. Mark was going to kill her one day with how intense he was.
Mark came close and kissed Arit gently and Arit moaned into the kiss as she tangled her fingers into Mark's hair. After some time, Mark pulled back and looked her in the eye.
"Don't forget what we spoke about. I don't care if you're Queen or Arit. I love you and I don't want you to be putting yourself in danger like that. I can take care of myself, so don't try to do anything dangerous for my sake. Lay low for now and don't draw any attention to yourself, do you understand?"
Arit saw the genuine worry in Mark's eyes and she couldn't help the blush that rose on her cheek. Mark was really worried that she would get in trouble if she continued and Arit felt butterflies in her stomach just knowing how much Mark cared about her.
Arit still wanted to help Mark, but she couldn't go against Mark like this.
'I still want to get rid of that Turner, but the King has spoken. I wish we could protect him, but if he thinks we do not need to act, then we won't. But we should keep our eyes open in case anything happens. You never know how things will go with these superhumans.'
For once, even the Queen was on the same page and Arit finally agreed that she would not try to do anything dangerous. Arit wrapped her hands around Mark's neck and pecked him on the lips with a nod. Mark was standing between Arit's legs and she gently wrapped her legs around him to hold him in place while talking.
"Since you don't want me to, I won't do anything, King. But try to be careful. That boy - Turner - has been going around asking questions about what happened. I think he might be suspicious of me for some reason. I don't know what he is going to do next."
Mark frowned in worry as he heard this. He didn't think that Turner would start his investigation that aggressively. Mark would have to find a way to throw him off their trail.
"Don't worry, I will deal with it. There isn't any evidence pointing him to us, so at best he is only speculating for now. If we can find a way to make him stop suspecting us, then we should be fine. Tina doesn't even suspect us at all, so she is not an issue. We just have to make sure Turner gets off the trail."
Once Tina's name was mentioned, Mark could literally sense the change in Arit's expression. Arit frowned and her hold around his neck tightened as she held him closer. Mark raised a brow and asked her what was wrong and Arit's frown deepened.
"I don't like his sister. That Tina girl. She is always hanging off you and trying to get into your personal space. Anytime I hear her calling you that stupid nickname, I want to gouge her eyes out."
Mark chuckled at Arit's behavior and held her closer while kissing her neck gently. Mark knew that Arit would be affected by that, but there was nothing for her to worry about. Tina was like a pest to him - a pest that he just couldn't get rid of for now. She was only doing all that because she lost to him in a fight.
Mark was sure that she would eventually give up when she saw that he wasn't giving her any attention.
Mark wondered who would win if Arit fought against Tina. They were both S class and they both had that aggressive streak that would allow them to fight at their very best. If they were to fight, it would probably be very close, or maybe Tina would win. Tina has been in more fights and she has also experienced fighting against stronger opponents before. She would likely beat Arit because of that.
But knowing how aggressive Arit could be right off the bat, Arit might manage to catch Tina off guard if Tina underestimates her even a little.
Mark sighed and kissed Arit on the neck once more.
"You don't need to worry about her. Just ignore her for now and keep laying low. I don't think the government will keep them here if they cannot find anything, so they will be leaving soon. Even if you think they are an annoyance, bear with it, okay?"
Arit put her face into Mark's neck and finally nodded. Mark smiled as he told her to get dressed so they could get back to class. Arit nodded and she slowly started to put her panties and skirt back in their proper position while Mark arranged his trousers properly. Arit knew that Mark was right about Tina.
From the reactions that Mark had to her, Arit could tell that Tina was just an annoyance that refused to leave Mark alone.
Arit decided that she would ignore Tina for now. Since this was a delicate time and it was her fault that Tina and Turner came here in the first place, she wasn't going to do anything about Tina. But if Tina goes too far and tries to get any closer to Mark than this, then all bets are off.
...
After Mark and Arit made it back to class, Mark noticed that Turner and Tina were already there. Turner was sitting in his seat and there were a lot of girls around him talking about one thing or another. Mark hummed as he realized that Turner was actually the sort of person to become quite popular with the girls.
Even though he was very uptight, Turner was handsome and he had this way of talking that made him seem more mature than his age. Mark wasn't surprised that Turner would be popular with the girls in class.
Tina, on the other hand, was sitting down on top of Mark's desk with her legs crossed. Tina was busy playing a game on her phone with a frown on her face and she had this aura of unapproachability that made everyone stay away from her. Unlike her brother, Tina didn't have an interest in talking with anyone in the class.
Even though Tina had a pretty face and Mark could see many of the boys in the class stealing longing glances at her, there was no way anyone could approach her if she had such a tough exterior.
"Marky~!!"
Tina suddenly shouted loudly as she saw Mark enter the class and she got off his table and came closer to him. She noticed Arit was glaring at her from Mark's right-hand side and Tina frowned right back at her as she wrinkled her nose curiously.
What was that smell?
