Did he learn that from Marcusz
The thought flashed through Emma’s mind before she could stop it.

Mairik raised his head, his dark, inscrutable gaze beneath the steam. His eyes were still red from the heat, giving his sharp features a dangerous softness.
“When you bit the corner of my mouth just now,” he murmured, “you used much more force than I did.”
The mist wrapped around him, blurring the sharp lines of his face until he looked even more unreal, beautiful in a way that felt almost threatening.
A second later, he bent down again.
This time, he was no longer tentative. The playful helplessness and innocence in his actions disappeared. His kiss on Emma’s lips was so tender yet intense that she momentarily forgot to breathe.
‘Mm…” Whatever she had meant to say disappeared completely beneath his kiss.
He was exceedingly gentle.
Under the warm water, Malrik’s long fingers moved with practiced ease, unbuttoning Emma’s soaked clothes one by one. The heavy, wet fabric slipped from her body and was tossed carelessly out of the tub.
Heat continued to rise inside the bathroom. The mirror had long since fogged over, and tiny beads of water gathered on the glass before sliding down in crooked trails.
Malrik kept kissing her until her breath became ragged and her thoughts fuzzy from the lack of air. Only then did he slowly pull back, though his forehead stayed near hers.
‘Emma…”
His breathing tangled with hers, rough and restrained. He looked into her damp eyes, and the desire in his gaze was so thick it almost felt like it could spill over.
‘Today is my birthday,” he whispered, his voice hoarse. “You told me every wish should be granted.”

His nose barely touched hers. His voice became softer, tinged with danger, as if cast as a spek just for her “Right now.
The next morning, pale sunlight slipped through the thin curtains and scattered across the aurora stone floor
The mineral crystals caught the light and shimmered faintly, flickering like pieces of a ing star map
Emma slowly opened her eyes

The moment her eyes opened, Malrik opened his too.
“Are you hungry?”
His voice was soft.

In truth, he had been awake for quite a while, yet he bad not wanted to disturb her. He had simply kept his eyes closed beside her, pretending he was still asleep.
Emma rested her hand on her stomach and shook her head. He must have given me nutrient fluid earlier–no wonder I don’t feel hungry now.
When Malrik noticed her shaking her head, he paused briefly before softly asking, “Do you want to get up or sleep a bit more? It’s till early, and you can rest longer.”
Emma looked at his pale, smooth face.
“here was no filter or editing, and not a single flaw was visible. His skin appeared so delicate that it seemed like water might scape if she pinched it.
After waking up to a face like that, there was no way Emma could fall back asleep.
I’m not sleeping anymore,” she replied. “Let’s go find Alaric.”
As soon as Emma mentioned getting up, Malrik took out the clothes he had prepared for her in advance.
Vhen she mentioned Alaric, he immediately knew what she meant: bird droppings.
By the time Emma finished dressing, Malrik was dressed as well.
Emma used her lightcore to ask where Alaric was. After learning he was downstairs preparing breakfast, she washed up with Maink. ind the two took the floating elevator down together.
When they reached the kitchen, Emma immediately spotted Alaric standing there, preparing oatmeal.
Alaric.” She walked over with a bright smile.
Maric wore white today, looking nothing like the cream–covered disaster from yesterday.
With his usual cool, graceful air restored, he once again looked like an exiled immortal who the dust of the mortal world had never touched
It was almost a pity.
A face like that should have belonged to someone pure and untouchable, not someone who committed shameless is is with suc effortless elegance every day
“Emma, you messaged me so early this morning” Alanis remarked, setting down what he was holding and gasing at her with his fox like eyes, twinkling with amusement What can I do for you??
His smile deepened “Don’t tell me you mard me
Emma stared at him calinty Avif

“Of course I missed you,” she replied with a perfectly straight face. “I especially missed… asking you for a favor.”
Alaric’s smile froze for a second Emma has changed. She’s actually learned how to tease me back.

“What favor?” The joking look faded from Alaric’s face the moment he heard she needed help. His expression turned serious at
once.
Emma did not waste time. “It’s about Malrik’s skin. You noticed how much better it has become, right?”
Then she explained everything about the strange improvement in Malrik’s skin.
By the time Alaric finished listening, the corner of his mouth twitched hard. “Bird droppings?”
He almost wondered if he had heard wrong. Seriously? Bird droppings?
After returning to his room last night, he washed up and immediately messaged Silas to ask what Malrik had used on his skin.
Based on Silas‘ reaction earlier, Alaric had been sure he knew the truth.
Yet when Alaric asked, that b*stard only gave a vague warning: it was definitely something Alaric wouldn’t want to touch.
Alaric had spent the entire night thinking about it. He had considered every disgusting possibility he could imagine. The one thing he had not guessed was bird droppings.
Can this get any more ridiculous? he wondered.
‘Emma.” Alaric stared at her, unable to hide the shock on his face. “Are you serious?”
Emma nodded with absolute sincerity. “I’m very serious. I’ve never been more serious.”
Malrik nodded beside her as well. “I wouldn’t lie to Emma; it really was bird droppings.”
Alaric looked at their equally serious expressions and pressed his lips together.
No matter how absurd it sounded, he had to accept that they were not joking.
Emma wanted answers.
Although he personally wanted nothing to do with it, he still needed to investigate how bird droppings could c significant impact on therian skin.
