By count, this is the first time she kissed him voluntarily. Anything before eighteen doesn't count, as at that time her kisses were directed at Magnus. The man maintained a calm expression, though his taut body betrayed a hint of daze and ecstasy.
After breaking free from her internal shackles, Delphine stopped suppressing her own nature, her personality seemed to revert to that of her younger self. Before eighteen, she might have been somewhat reserved and introverted, but she was mostly innocent and carefree. Now that their positions had reversed, and with Ignatius Leclair unable to see, his usual imposing aura had significantly diminished, Delphine was so overwhelmed with joy, she ended up giving him a kiss.
Once she came to her senses, the man was already holding her tightly, wanting her to kiss him a second time, which made Delphine blush instantly, faltering, afraid that Ignatius would get stuck in a stubborn mood again, she kissed him on the chin.
