My Obsessive Hubby Is My Enemy
Chapter 4 - Confrontation
I glared at Darius for the whole trip, so much that I felt like I was burning a hole into his chiselled jaw.
After convincing my brother that I was fine, our journey had resumed. However, a question plagued me.
What had made it go away? In the space of an hour, I would have been in so much pain that my heart would feel like exploding.
So how exactly did he make it go away completely?
Eventually, it turned dark and we stopped by a small village to rest.
All of the soldiers immediately took advantage of the village's hospitality and began eating and drinking and partying.
I haven't felt myself ever since Darius fed me his power.
It's not a bad feeling. It's the opposite. I feel light, light enough to jump up and become a star in the sky.
I always hated that nickname. My actual name, Leona, didn't need to be abbreviated.
Kasier Light
Here, I got you some meat.
Leona Light
I'm not hungry, Kas, but thank you.
Kasier Light
What? But this is your favourite...
Suddenly, I looked up and saw Darius disappearing into the woods.
Where does he think he's going?
Leona Light
Kas, I'll be right back.
Kasier Light
What? Huh, okay-
I rushed after Darius, and as I got deeper and deeper into the woods, I suddenly saw him with a pitch black horse.
In his hand were some sugar cubes, which the horse affectionately ate from his hand.
I rushed over towards him. My voice alerted him of my presence.
Leona Light
We need to talk. Now.
Leona Light
About what? You know exactly what I'm talking about.
Leona Light
What you did in the carriage.
Darius Knight
You looked uncomfortable.
Leona Light
Well, now I feel uncomfortable. Unnatural.
Darius Knight
Are you feeling ill?
Leona Light
No, but that's not the point. What you did in there... why did you do it and what is it?
Darius Knight
Mana sharing.
Leona Light
... s-sharing???
I turned pale, my throat suddenly feeling swollen.
My face was one of pure shock.
Mana sharing is the most intimate action, even more intimate than intercôurse for married couples.
It's when two people who possess powers share a part of their mana with the other person.
A part of them, a mark if you would, remains inside of you forever.
You'll always feel connected to that person, and the closer the couple are, the more they'll be able to sense of their partner.
Leona Light
You had NO right!
Leona Light
Do you realise how intimate a mana sharing is? How sacred?
Leona Light
No, I don't think that you do.
Leona Light
You left a MARK in me, Darius Knight.
Leona Light
You MARKED me like an animal.
Darius looked at me and suddenly began to pull down his tie.
Leona Light
W-What are you doing?
He then unbuttoned the top four buttons of his shirt before pulling it to the side, revealing a white tattoo on his chest.
The tattoo of a sun... my family's crest.
Darius Knight
You marked me as well.
My eyes went wide as I turned around and fumbled with my shirt.
I unbuttoned it, frantically looking for a mark until Darius tapped my left arm.
Darius Knight
Your left arm.
I buttoned myself up and took off my jacket, rolled up my sleeve only to reveal a moon crest in black on my forearm.
You can't remove these marks. They are here to stay. Not even I could modify this mark to go away.
Leona Light
Why... why did you do this?
Darius Knight
Because you looked uncomfortable.
Leona Light
Uncomfortable? I'll show you uncomfortable!
If anyone sees this mark on my arm, they'll inmediately misunderstand.
They'll see me as Darius's partner. This shows a closeness and a bond stronger than marriage.
It's official. I can never get married.

Well technically didn’t she say that once she realized her love she would die, so this is a great way to just never die

Smart & Funny😉
Listen, before anyone comments it, I know that he marked her without her permission, and I know that he should have probably asked for consent beforehand, even if she was dying. He made a mistake and I'm sure that he is going to apologise to leona in the future cause he's a good boy🐶
