Craving

*This book is a remake of the 2016 work <Tangnig>.*

The abandoned princess wanted to bring down the imperial family. So on a cold winter night, Estel woke the blue-eyed demon sleeping in the ice castle.

"Make me emperor."

The beautiful man gladly accepted the contract, and the demon surrounded by white snow, ice, and a deep floral scent whispered,

"Welcome to hell, Estel."

The demon who hid as a servant in the princess’s palace changes everything about Estel.

Under the abuse of her stepmother and half-brother, and with her biological father looking on indifferently,

he saves Estel as she was dying.

Falling in love with him becomes only natural.

But affection for a nonhuman being can never be repaid.

Love toward a demon is like a knife: the more you touch and lick it, the more you get hurt.

In the end, Estel can’t bear it and tries to run away from him...

She wished he hadn’t been so gentle.

His kindness made her feel miserable. Estel lowered her eyes.

Then she heard a soft urging voice.

"Estel."

The man who would not even allow her to avert her gaze made a proposal.

"Shall we kiss?"

This time, she had to answer. If she acted any more dull here, he might lose interest.

"If you want to..."

Before she could finish, their lips met. The kiss, grabbing her waist and forcing her down, was rough.

It was an indecent act beyond words.

At the moment when her senses were reaching their limit, their lips parted.

Long fingers brushed over Estel’s lips.

"I’d like to do even more,

but..."

He fixed her tousled hair ornament and straightened her clothes.

With every touch, Estel trembled.

"I went to all this trouble to make you pretty..."

His lingering gaze licked over Estel from head to toe.

With eyes that looked as if he might devour her at once, Sathiel smiled.

"It would be a pity if I ruined you."
