Chapter226

Elara rubbed her temples and looked at the two beautiful men in front of her who had quietly crawled two steps closer on their knees. Like pitiful puppies begging for her mercy, they wanted to cling to her and seek favor.

"You two... um, your chests, usually... how often does it become like this?"

She didn't reject their quiet approach. While thinking it over, she asked the question in a calm voice.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning, we only needed to deal with it once a month. Later, under the training of our nursing father, it gradually shortened to once every half-month, then once every ten days, five days, and eventually every three days."

"Before we were sent to your kingdom this time, it had already become a daily thing... our nursing father and those people said that only like this would you like us... The wives in the Carnation Kingdom also prefer men with large chests. To make sure you would like us, for two months before we were sent to Plumera, our nursing father helped soothe us every morning with tools... and also fed us the final medication... Otherwise, otherwise, we'd swell up... and hurt a lot..."

They had already been conditioned to the point where they needed to be taken care of every day, but after entering the palace, Elara had been busy with other matters and nearly forgot them for two days. It was no wonder their chests had swollen so badly.

Elara raised her hand to rub her temples again. "…So now, besides me, is there no other way to relieve you?"

As expected, when she asked this, the two beautiful men who had cautiously hugged her calf now looked even more desperate.

Their equally gorgeous and delicate faces were covered in teardrops that hadn't yet fallen. Their red eyes looked up at her pitifully.

"Your Majesty, you... you still don't want to touch us? Do our bodies displease you…?"

Elara saw the tears rolling down the corners of their eyes and sighed quietly in her heart, then spoke again. "No, I just want to understand more first..."

Hearing this, the two beautiful men resting their faces against her legs slightly lowered their heads, their voices still somewhat downcast:

"We already belong to you, Your Majesty. This body, from head to toe, can only be touched by you. If anyone else lays a finger on us, it would mean we've lost our purity..."

"As men, purity is the most precious thing we're born with. It is everything to us. Once we lose it... we must abandon our bodies and die to atone..."

Elara: "..."

Indeed, in this matriarchal world, the oppression and control over men could really rival how certain dynasties in the twenty-first-century ancient times treated women's chastity with extreme standards.

Just being touched by someone else was considered losing purity?

Elara quietly let out a sigh in her heart.

This really... left her speechless.

But no matter what, Cleome and Clematis had grown up with this mindset. Their strict views on purity were deeply ingrained, and Elara couldn't change it with just a few words.

She looked at their teary and dim expressions, then exhaled deeply.

Fine. They were already in her palace. She couldn't really just leave them alone.

"Uno, bring me a basin of water and some cleansing liquid."

The two beauties, seeing Elara didn't abandon them, looked up again with their wet, red eyes, watching her carefully.

After Elara washed her hands, she looked at the two still kneeling beauties in front of her.

She held their arms, one on each side, and gently helped them up. "Alright, come with me to the back hall. I'll... help you relieve it..."

The expressions on Cleome and Clematis froze for a moment. They seemed to realize that Elara was finally willing to touch them and help them personally. Their chests rose and fell with relief, and faint blushes and comfort appeared on their beautiful faces.

"Th-thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness…"

After softly giving thanks, the two followed Elara, dazed and shy.

......

Inside the rear hall.

It wasn't until two full hours later that Elara finally finished taking care of Cleome and Clematis's issues.

In truth, the actual time spent wasn't that long. It only took more time because the two of them had held back for two days and were too full.

Later, once they got used to it, it should only take about half an hour. But still, it would be best for them to learn to manage on their own soon. Elara didn't have that much free time.

Finally relieved and relaxed, the two clung to Elara from front and back, like two beautiful dodder vines wrapping tightly around her.

"Your Majesty… Your Majesty, you're so gentle…"

Clematis, in front, still had a blush on his cheeks and at the corners of his eyes. His entire body pressed tightly against Elara, and his expression and tone revealed a sense of attachment.

"Your Majesty treats us better than our nurse ever did… Your Majesty… we feel so good… we've never felt this good before…"

Behind her, Cleome was also pressed closely against her back, whispering softly near Elara's ear. The strong sense of attachment overflowed from both his actions and his words.

Maybe it was because Elara was the first person to ever touch them directly. She was also their master and treated them with patience and tenderness.

In just two hours, the two had developed a noticeable attachment to her. After experiencing such comfort, they only wanted to hold her tight and never let go…

Elara felt like she was being smothered between them.

She had been working for two hours, and her hands were sore.

"Alright, now that you're feeling better, get some proper rest. Also, wear more clothes. It may not be winter yet, but late autumn is coming, and you don't want to catch a cold."

"And about the golden chains on your ankles, take them off if they feel uncomfortable."

Elara pushed the two away from her front and back, putting on her own outer robe while also tossing two robes over them.

When the two saw she was about to leave, they looked reluctant and quickly crawled on their knees from the center of the bed to the edge. They looked at her pitifully and pleaded:

"Your Majesty, won't you stay a bit longer?"

"Your Majesty, you only made us feel good… we haven't pleased you yet… please stay just a little longer…"

Perhaps her gentleness and patience from earlier gave them a bit of courage. Both of them reached out carefully and tugged at her robe, hoping she would stay longer.

Their cautious, pet-like movements made Elara want to laugh. Looking at their soft, thick, and silky light golden hair, she reached out and rubbed their heads.

"Alright, when I have time, I'll come by. Also, starting tomorrow, unless something unexpected happens, I'll come by every morning to help you two."

"But, the tools you used back in Carnation must be prepared again as soon as possible…"

When she mentioned tools, their eyes began to look sad again. Elara lifted her hand to her lips in a quiet gesture.

"Shh, don't cry just because of the tools. I'm not abandoning you, and I'm not refusing to help either. But you also need to understand, I have many duties each day and might not always be able to come help you on time."

"So, you need to learn to handle it yourselves. I allow it, and you only need to relieve yourselves. It's not considered losing purity, but rather… let's say, it's helping me solve a problem. Got it?"

The two beauties stared at her without blinking. After a long while, they finally nodded and reluctantly let go of her robe. Their voices were low and hoarse:

"Then… then we'll wait for Your Majesty tomorrow…"

"Mm."

......

When Elara left Meiyuan Hall, she felt like her whole body smelled like milk, as if she had just bathed in it.

She returned to her sleeping quarters and took a bath, looking at her slightly red and sore palms…

Well, now she had one more daily task to milk.

From that day on, Elara began her new routine. Every morning she would visit Meiyuan Hall right after waking up, then attend court to handle various state affairs. After court, she would talk with different ministers one-on-one or inspect construction progress around Plumera City.
