*********************************************
Roaldness's thick Adam's apple bobbed significantly.
He followed me into the bathroom as I led the way.
A giant bathtub made of mysteriously sparkling stone had a hot spring bubbling up in the middle, filling the space with white steam.
Without hesitation, Roaldness threw off his shirt and stripped down to his underwear.
The angry muscles that had just been fighting fiercely wriggled, and the huge, flawless statue-like man's body entered the bathtub.
His beautiful red eyes stared at me as if waiting, amidst the white steam.
His eyes began to gleam like those of a predator searching for prey just before eating it.
"I don't like it when you're struggling. You don't have to wash me while smelling the blood, Rien."
His mouth, which was opposite to his longing eyes, expressed an opinion.
Hesitating for a moment, I felt a surge of defiance and quickly took off my dress.
Since the indoor dress was light enough to take off by myself, the shed clothes fell to my feet like a husk.
I saw Roaldness trying to add something but closing his mouth tightly.
Confirming once again that his Adam's apple was bobbing, I approached him wearing only a white inner dress.
"My lover is talkative."
"!"
Roaldness flinched greatly at the word lover.
I sat on the edge of the bathtub and dipped my hand in the hot water.
The water infused with herbs to cleanse the body removed the monster's blood from Roaldness's body and exuded a faint blood scent.
The special bathtub had a self-purifying system, so the water that had turned a light pink color gradually became clear and clean as time passed.
I gently wiped the remaining blood on his broad, firm shoulders with my wet hand, and Roaldness made a moaning sound.
"Rien. This is enough of a joke."
"I'm helping you get clean. Can't you compliment me?"
"..."
He groaned and closed his mouth again.
When the water became completely clean, I added bath salts and lathered his shoulders.
When I silently focused on my service, Roaldness, who had been looking at me with a slightly dissatisfied face, lightly splashed water on me.
"You're the one who's joking, Roan!"
I thought he would immediately apologize as usual.
Roaldness's gaze passed over my eyes that were squinted because of the splashed water, and moved down to my cheeks and then to the nape of my neck.
The gaze that swayed along the trail where the water droplets flowed turned pitch black as the water droplets dropped onto my front.
I swallowed hard at the sudden tension and tried to continue what I was doing.
Roaldness, who had gritted his teeth and persevered, grabbed my hand when I was about to apply more foam to his shoulder.
"Ah!"
My body plunged into the huge bathtub filled with bubble bath.
"Roan!"
I couldn't speak anymore.
Roaldness's hot, wet lips went straight to my exposed front.
The breath that moved in the opposite direction of the trail left by the falling waterdrops licked my neck and up my cheek, causing me to shiver with a tingling sensation that pierced my spine.
"I told you not to provoke me like that."
With a deep, low voice, his lips that had greedily filled his mouth began to bite and swallow my lips.
Roaldness had already sat on the edge of the bathtub and pulled me towards him.
Every time I stroked his panting chest, I could hear his moaning sound in my mouth.
As he touched me recklessly and explored my lips, the bubbles and hot water churned.
When the hot heat reached its peak between our bodies rubbing hotly, I barely pushed his bare chest away and gasped.
His black, sunken red eyes were looking at my wet lips with a look of lingering regret.
"Roan."
"You don't have to do this to me, Adriene."
Feeling frustrated that all my efforts seemed to be in vain, I felt his hand, which was supporting my back, grab the loose shoulder strap and pull it down.
When I stiffened in surprise, Roaldness's reddened eyes curved softly.
It looked a bit sinister, as if trying to hide his gleaming eyes.
"You said you wanted to bathe when we went to Elacon."
"What?"
"Your faithful servant had no intention of letting his master bathe alone."
"What are you talking about right now?"
With a low, mumbled voice, he suddenly lifted my body.
Roaldness, who had lifted my body and sat me on the edge of the bathtub, cut through the water and approached me, without hesitation biting into my thigh where my skirt was rolled up.
A tingling sensation made my spine shiver.
I grabbed his wet platinum hair tightly and tilted my head up to the ceiling.
I could clearly see the beautiful night sky through the large window that had been opened for guests, but I didn't have time to enjoy the scenery.
As the wet, hot flesh chewed on the inside of my thigh like tasting it, I shook my head, preventing his entry with both hands. It was a reaction caused by excessive stimulation.
He laughed lowly.
As his breath spilled all the way down to the inside of my thighs, chills ran down my spine.
Unlike his office where I hadn't fully realized his desire, my body, which had learned a huge desire, heated up incredibly fast.
The tip of his lips, which had bitten and swallowed the innermost part of my thighs, drew a beautiful arc, and his intense red eyes, which seemed to be glaring, curved sweetly towards me.
"I'll clean you up, Rien."
"Roan..."
"With my mouth."
Overwhelmed by the intense desire, I bit my lip, forgetting to breathe.
Hotness. Shiver.
Two words that could never coexist were mercilessly poking and making a mess in my head.
When tears welled up in my eyes and the tingling sensation that started from his lips spread like wildfire to the tips of my hair and even to my toes, burning everything.
I had the illusion that the stars twinkling on the ceiling were pouring down on me like rain.
***
It was the first time in my life that I had been in the bathtub for so long.
Just thinking about the past night with Roaldness, until my hands and feet were swollen, made me dizzy.
Thanks to Roaldness, who had fully vented his frustration that he hadn't been able to cling to me during that time, I had to have a hearty breakfast to stay alive.
With a face that shone brighter than any other time he had stayed here, Roaldness sent me honey-dripping glances whenever I put bread in my mouth.
His eyes were so blatant that Canula even scolded him, saying, "Stop making that crazy face, especially when you're going to the capital for important business."
Of course, the embarrassment of blushing was mine.
"Why don't you get some sleep? The maids of Her Highness, the Crown Princess, escorted you out of the castle in a carriage. Don't worry too much. Don't worry too much. The evil reputation of His Highness, the Second Prince, is quite useful at times like this, so he won't be able to say anything nonsense."
Neil muttered endlessly to me on the way to see Roaldness off.
His face, which firmly believed that I couldn't sleep because I was worried about Doris's maids running away, shone faithfully to me.
As if I couldn't stand the sight of Neil whispering to me like a sycophant, Roaldness, who had just put on his armor and left the mansion, kicked his Achilles tendon and chased him away.
Neil, who gave me a slight glance that only I could see, ran to Vincente.
"Rien."
In front of the huge warhorse, Roaldness called me and quickly kissed my forehead.
His hands that seemed to be holding back the urge to hug me stroked my shoulders thickly. It was an action to respect my awareness of the surrounding eyes.
"I miss you already."
A sweet breath scattered in my ear.
Suddenly, overwhelmed with emotion, I hugged him, forgetting about the surrounding people.
The waist wrapped around my arm was thick, and the chest that touched my cheek was cold.
It was because he was wearing thick, sturdy armor. It was clear to me that the capital he was going to was nothing more than another battlefield.
Roaldness, who flinched briefly at my sudden hug, laughed softly. As I leaned my ear against his lightly vibrating chest, I could hear his heartbeat pounding loudly.
My own heart, which only I could hear, was also beating rapidly.
"Be careful, Roan. Don't overdo it."
"Instead of saying that, it would be nice if you said you love me."
The corner of his mouth rose slightly, expressing a little regret.
I opened and closed my mouth, then I stepped back from him when I heard Canula slowly approaching us.
"I love you, Rien."
His voice came out as lightly as the wind as soon as he moved a step away.
My ears turned bright red where his low voice had touched, and I covered my ears.
"Roan, don't worry about this side. As soon as the Emperor doesn't officially recognize you as the Crown Prince, I'll be ready to rise up."
"What kind of words are those for a rebel? Since you've come as an uninvited guest, you can at least not bother your wife."
"Oh my. Look at that, that, that way of speaking!"
"I'll see you in the capital."
Roaldness chuckled and swung himself up onto his warhorse.
"Epero, please take care of my wife."
"Brother. You should be the one to protect your wife."
Ignoring Epero's grumble, Roaldness turned the horse's head in the opposite direction of the mansion, and the horses of the 2nd Knights, who had finished their preparations, headed in the same direction.
"Wait a little."
Rien.
Roaldness, who only mouthed my name, gently kicked the side of his horse with his heel, with a firm face.
The flags symbolizing the Second Prince Roaldness fluttered on either side of him.
Roaldness, who looked back at me one more time, hid his reluctance and rode his horse.
When the remaining people who had watched them until they became dots turned around and were about to enter the mansion.
"Damn old man came at the right time."
I heard Canula gnashing his teeth as he tapped his ornate cane hard on the floor.
A snow-white carriage was rapidly approaching us from afar.
Knights in snow-white cloaks surrounded the carriage in unison and approached.
The door of the white carriage opened wide, and a man wearing a tall hat poured out like a waterfall.
The man, who turned to stone as soon as he saw Canula, quickly abandoned the protocol and ran.
"Your Grace!"
It was the High Priest Teln who had actually visited this barren and small manor in person.
****
Since the matter was serious, High Priest Teln, Canulla, and I, along with Epero, entered a separate reception room.
Canulla had been informed earlier, as there was already a bitter tea, often given by the temple, set up there.
None of us touched the tea, but Teln, with a tense face, kept sipping it.
"I have heard very unpleasant news, Your Grace. A rumor that you dared to request and manipulate a sacred oracle!"
Clang!
Teln's teacup was placed on the saucer with a thud.
Teln clasped his hands and smiled awkwardly.
"Well, well, Your Grace. I don't know where you heard such a thing, but I absolutely! I swear to God, I never made such a request..."
"I'm saying this after finding out everything! How much money have I poured into the temple all these years. It's too much to trample on the kindness of Canulla Winstan, who took care of Your Grace's impoverished childhood!"
"That's a misunderstanding!"
"Your Grace, does that mean you have never sworn to the Lord that you received donations from Noura Jusetta and met with Her Highness, the Crown Princess?"
I suddenly interrupted.
As soon as I finished speaking, Teln became as mute as a fish that had swallowed honey. His trembling chin was telling the truth.
"If you don't want to spit out all the donations you've given over the past few decades, speak up straight, Your Grace."
Canulla spat out viciously.
All the blood drained from Teln's face.
