8 Reading A Sin Filled Romance Novel

Lilith looked at the large structure before her - The Calton Library, which was the largest library in Whitebush. It had the largest collection of books in Whitebush, including books which had been banned in several nations as well as regions. The library was ever expanding, with new sections being added every year. Currently it was as large as the palace. And it was the only library in Nous that had the kind of book she was looking for -- an utterly sin filled romance novel.

Since Arielle was the only Kingdom with Freedom of the Press, it was bound to have the largest library with books that were banned in several other countries.

But that did not mean that the citizens were okay with those scandalous books. Anyone who read the kind of book she was looking for weeks be called a 'Marin', a term that basically meant shameless, and it was usually used for women.

Lilith had been to Calton several times, but this would be her first time entering the Calton Library. The entrace was simple, yet elegant with the decoration beautiful, but not extravagant enough to draw your attention away from the real treasures of the place - the books.

She found the place simply enchanting, the carvings of the gods and goddesses that seemed almost lifelike reminded her of the altar of the temple where she has been sold off.

She had to force herself to walk forward and stop staring at the carvings. She didn't know where the section for the kind of book she was looking for was, but she knew she could find it easily. It would be the place where there were the least amount of people - 'cause no one wanted to be called a Marin.

But while she was right about that, it still took her half an hour to find the section, for the library was pretty huge.

Walking about between the walls that also served as shelves for the books, Lilith ran her fingertips over the titles of the books she planned to read. She wondered if she should read these books first, but then decided against it. She knew that if she did do that then she would never begin reading a Marin book.

Then she finally found the area she was looking for, the one where people did not dare go near.

The area looked normal, except it was nearly completely deserted, except for a man with raven-black hair, who sat at the table in the centre of the section with a pile of books next to him.

Lilith walked quietly to a rack and chose a book called - "Lucietta and the Beast". She flipped the book over but found no summary. She hoped the story would be good, for she did not want to read a nonsensical story.

With the book in her hand, she walked to the table, pulled out a chair and began to read.
