ARRIVAL OF HUNTING SEASON GUESTS

That night Albert and Annabelle curled up in bed with a warm thick blanket. Their bodies wore nothing under the blanket. Albert's body fully supported Annabelle's body. Albert's fingers brushed Annabelle's open arm up and down and kept repeating it several times. Annabelle's head rested on Albert's chest, her slender hands playing with Albert's fine hair that grew on his chest.

"Is it true that you are participating in the political competition in the kingdom? Is it harmless to you? I'm worried about your safety" said Annabelle who actually did not agree, if Albert participated in the nomination of MPs, but there was no way he could stop it.

"I'll be fine, I have to help William in uncovering Queen Anne's death, I can't stay silent and pretend I don't know," Albert replied.

"How important was Queen Anne to the Louis family that you would risk your life to expose her death."

"The success of the Louis family cannot be separated from the services of Queen Anne. The Castle and the Golden Land are gifts from the Queen to us. If indeed Queen Anne's death was poisoned, then I will arrest everyone involved in the rebellion."

"My father always told me to avoid the kingdom. Even father said, getting a peasant man was happier than getting a prince, that's why Father never took me to the kingdom, he preferred to take me to the forest and hunt."

"Didn't your father work in the kingdom? Why does he seem to hate the kingdom so much?"

"I don't know, father said there are a lot of bad people in the kingdom."

"If your father was still alive, he would have forbidden you to marry me, what's more, I'm very close to the kingdom."

"Yes, it's possible, and I'll get a farmer with his skin dark and shiny in the sun. A muscular body because it is forged by a load that continues to enlarge its muscles. Don't you think it's fun?"

"Did you just talk about the other man in our bed, My Lady? Don't tell me the man you speak of is in your estate."

"Are you jealous, My Lord?" Annabelle teased while giggling.

"You dared to tease me, now. You have never tasted my punishment."

"What kind of punishment?"

"Like this," said Albert who then pressed Annabelle. He also seduces Annabelle and makes his union with his wife. That night, sighs began to sound in their room because Albert wouldn't let Annabelle sleep tonight.

A few days later, Annabelle was standing on the tower of her husband's castle. Staring at all the horse-drawn carriages that went into the castle gates. The hunting season has officially opened, all the nobles welcome it happily and excitedly. Today was the first day, all of Albert's guests who were going to join the hunt started to arrive.

Annabelle wanted to see the fun. She went to the top of the tower, while Albert watched the arrival of his guests. The guests will be placed on the right and left wings of the castle. Meanwhile, the main castle is guarded by Albert's bodyguards. No one was allowed to enter the main castle, without Albert's permission.

Annabelle's eyes lit up at all the hunting preparations for her guests. This was the first time Annabelle had witnessed how exciting the hunting season was. They carried a lot of goods in their carts. Starting from the bow and arrow in preparation. Charming swords, they carry. There were many other hunting gear that Annabelle didn't even know the name of and what they were used for.

For hours Annabelle stood in the tower without getting bored, let alone feeling tired. She was increasingly impatient to get into the forest and compete with those professional hunters.

Annabelle's body jumped in surprise, as strong arms wrapped around her waist and stomach. She was about to scream, but as her nose smelled a masculine scent that was familiar to her senses, Annabelle leaned her head against the owner's chest instead, keeping her eyes fixed on the horse-drawn carriage that kept coming to the castle.

"I looked for you everywhere, it turns out you are here," said Albert.

"Here, I can clearly see all the arrivals of your guests. How much money did you spend to entertain them all?" Annabelle asked.

"We spend a lot of money, but it won't be a problem because there is already a special budget for the hunting season and dance parties. This is my chance to win the hearts of the nobles, so they can win me the candidacy later.

"Every time you talk about the candidacy, for some reason my heart always feels uneasy. It's like something's going to happen later."

"Don't think anything of it. Your mind is influenced by worries about me, you better get rid of all those negative thoughts. I will be fine and will win the vote and be a member of parliament.

"Yes, you are right. It all happened because of my thoughts of you. I'm sure you'll be fine and win the game.

"Thanks for your prayers, Annabelle."

"You're welcome Lord Albert Louis," said Annabelle who then turned around and wrapped her arms around Albert's neck. She kissed Albert's lips to get rid of the nervousness that hit him.

Albert happily welcomed the kiss. Albert's golden brown eyes stared into Annabelle's blue eyes. He lifted his hand and gently caressed her head. His fingers ran through the golden hair that always looked admirable to Albert. Albert's lips came closer and kissed slowly starting from the forehead, eyes, nose, then down Annabelle's cheekbones.

Annabelle couldn't breathe when she got this treatment from Albert. His heartbeat was like the galloping of a horse galloping on hard ground. Annabelle just enjoyed what Albert did to her.

Albert kissed his wife's luscious lips for a moment. His fingers ran through Annabelle's golden hair and tugged gently. It made Annabelle's white neck look so tempting. Like a fruit that ripens on a tree and is ready to be harvested.

Albert's lips quickly tasted it. Mark every inch of Annabelle's neck skin with a beautiful red circle.

"Albert, stop it! The mark you make will not disappear quickly. It would be a shame if I had to meet your guest with the red mark you made."

"You can cover it with a cloth or whatever. Don't tell me to stop when I'm tasting you, My Lady."

After saying that, Albert again smacked Annabelle's neck and filled her with the sign of possession. Several times, a sigh escaped Annabelle's mouth. If only they weren't in the castle, Albert would have put his own together.

After being satisfied with marking Annabelle's body, Albert closed his wife's dress which was slightly exposed due to her activities. "Let's go downstairs, I'll get Simon to prepare our hunting gear. We will depart in the first batch."

"That means in two days, we're leaving?"

"Yes, that's right, Annabelle. Prepare yourself for your first adventure. I will not wait for you if you are left in the forest."

"I can't believe you would be that rude to me," Annabelle said confidently.

"You are too confident, My Lady. I can leave you in the woods whenever I want."

"That means you'll be sleeping alone in the woods, with no one to warm you up," whispered Annabelle seductively. Albert growled, hearing his wife's temptation.

Annabelle laughed with satisfaction, "I'm going down," said Annabelle who immediately ran down from the tower, while Albert chased her from behind. Annabelle's feet nimbly descended the steps of the tower, her dress sweeping the floor of the stairs.

Annabelle has an extraordinary elegance, an elegance that is not possessed by noble women in general. There are even times, Annabelle feels very dominant, with an aura of power there. Annabelle only felt defeated and submissive when she came under his embrace and became one with him. Annabelle will welcome with all her wildness that Albert can control well
