Seduction

"I missed him!" Ariel confessed.

Although she and her husband weren't like terms somewhere in her heart still craves him.

Graciela on the other hand was shocked by her revelation. This was unlike Princess Ariel that she knows...

...not easily submissive.

"You missed him?"

Ariel nodded in response. Some part of her was void. She remembered the markings on his face that made him more admirable.

"I know he'll come back safely. He's not dead, I'm certain of that fact." She spoke with confidence and a bit of sadness.

"No one said your husband is dead. He only went missing for some days now." Graciela reassured her while patting her back. "He'll come for you."

The latter on the other hand released a sigh of relief. The duchess's words gave her hope and she was certain that he'd come for her.

Even though they weren't in love...

...at least, they're married couples.

"Besides, you need to be good and submissive to him when he returns." Graciela teased but her words had hidden meanings and Ariel got it.

"I know that. I won't be stubborn, but you know that man is...is... something else." She shutters, not wanting to tell Graciela the things that happened in the courtroom the other time. It'll be ruining the King of Vallat's reputation.

But she didn't know Graciela was already into those kinds of creepy stuff.

"Haha!" Graciela laughed, covering her hand with the back of her palm. "Well, you need to make him fall in love with you."

Ariel raised a brow, her brain was still processing what the woman had just said.

Love?!

"Princess Ariel, aren't you tired of your loveless marriage? You're still innocent." Graciela complained.

Truth be told, Ariel and her husband weren't ready for consummation and didn't even get to talk about it. These two are worlds apart.

"It's not like that. Although I'm tired of it I can't do anything about it." Ariel raised her head pouting her lips like a child.

Graciela found her appearance funny and cute and couldn't help but laugh things off. "You can do something about it, Princess Ariel."

Sigh!

"I can't do anything," Ariel responded. Thinking about what Graciela told her the last time they met, she wasn't going to seduce that cruel man that didn't have a conscience.

"Stop downgrading yourself!" Graciela warned with a smile plastered on her face. "You know, I'm not being called the general's lady for nothing. I'm good at everything, in any aspect, I'm somehow perfect so I can help you." She offered

But the latter she was helping was too reluctant to accept the helpful hand so she hesitated at first before accepting.

"All you have to do is trust me. Also, listen to my every word." Graciela sounded like someone that was controlling but not in a harsh tone.

Ariel just nodded, yawned loudly, and sipped from the strawberry drink little by little; like an ant.

"I still brought the book here," Graciela instructed her maid to get the book and so did the maid. "Here it is. All that I'm gonna teach you is in there." She said pointing at the book with a blank expression on her face.

"Do you have to bring it anytime you come visit?" Ariel retorted, running her fingers through her messy hair that was tied in a bun.

The duchess couldn't help but laugh out loud. This woman was really funny. But yes she had to carry it along to see if she'll change her mind and now she had done it already.

"Let's get started already," Graciela instructed but Ariel was acting like a lazy fella.

"Okay?"

Graciela flipped through the first page of the book and skipped its contents and proceeded to the main points.

"First, if you want to seduce your man you must make him love you first."

Ariel immediately disagreed with it. "Love, it's impossible. Let's just skip to the main seduction part."

The duchess who had recently turned to a relationship counselor, just let out a sigh and did as the latter instructed.

Seduction is the game of desire, discovery, and satisfaction. In the realm of satisfaction, it is a mandatory part to spice up your relationship. When things go dry in a long-distance relationship, seduction is the only way to make your life juicy with your partner.

If you think that seduction only plays a role in bed, you might be wrong because it can also strengthen the bond with your partner and take the relationship to the next level. At some stage of life, we all have to seduce our partners. Naturally, everyone loves to be seduced but no one demands it openly.

Hence, everyone should have at least some knowledge about how to seduce their partner for a better and more satisfying life. And this applies to Ariel.

Graciela began with the first motive of seduction. She was merely helping Ariel but Ariel didn't see it that way.

"Princess Ariel, you'd have to tease him for a start. The easiest and oldest way to seduce your partner is to start teasing him like never before. Wear see-through lingerie and appealing details such as sharp nails, and red lipstick, and make a high ponytail, etc. melted chocolate can work like a magic here, lick chocolate with your fingers while giving looks to your husband. Tease him by your touch but do not let him touch you." Graciela heaved a sigh before turning to face the lass who found her statement funny.

"Tease him like that?" Ariel complained.

Graciela slapped her face in frustration.

Gosh! This woman is old-fashioned.

"Come to think of it, he's your husband and you need to do all these to him. You can't be old-fashioned, even your parents are romantic towards each other. No offense!" These words that came out of Graciela's mouth were like a slap on Ariel's face.

Thinking about how her parents were affectionate towards each other even as old couples, but her case was different.

She was determined to try it out to see where it'll end.
