Chapter 43

A Box of Cookies (9)

Rowena’s face heated up with the consistent lewd pictures and postures. Illustrations that explicitly depicted the genitals, let alone…

How do I explain this to His Highness?

In addition, when she thought about teaching him, she wondered how she would make her body do these things, but she couldn’t figure it out simply by imagining it.

As Cecil had whispered to her, she thought she would be locked up somewhere and loved lustfully by him.

Even though he’s been nice to me!

I can’t say I don’t…

She thought she would be in his arms tonight, too.

He felt like a little boy visiting historical sites and taking souvenirs home.

Louis climbed into the count’s carriage with a gift from the crown prince in his arms. When the servant had returned in the evening, he had said,

“The High Priest said that the lady still needs stability. She must still be in shock from the violence. I hope you understand that this is for the lady.”

Prince Cecil’s gift to Louis was a box full of cookies. He wasn’t a five-year-old kid, it was funny.

He was nervous all day, but he enjoyed looking back at the palace. Seeing imperial knights working or training, he dreamed of becoming one of the imperial knights.

However, Louis’ face immediately darkened because of Paul’s assignment to him.

But I wasn’t kicked out early. Let’s say I waited on my knees.

If he had written a letter and given it to him, he might have been able to deliver it through the servant. However, Paul did not write a letter because he was terribly afraid of the crown prince. He seemed to want to see Rowena without getting involved.

Coward.

He thought his father was an infinitely large and scary person. However, it was hard to respect a father who cowered at the sight of a noble who was stronger than himself.

I don’t do that to Rowena or any of the other employees.

Violence wielded against the family was not justified in any way. Even as a child who knew nothing, Louis understood this. He knew, but he couldn’t help it because he had no power.

Even now, his sister may have been kidnapped by the palace, but he was doing nothing.

Recalling how miserable and cowardly it was, Louis looked down at the cookie box. He was angry and afraid to go back to see his father. But he couldn’t throw the box of cookies on the floor.

The carriage rattled toward Count Adelia.

He was going home early today. From the moment the unusually pleasant-looking crown prince entered the office, officials had a hunch.

According to the rumors, Lady Adelia was injured and was being treated at the Imperial Palace, but the wounds did not appear to be severe.

That’s the excuse he’s giving for holding her!

They usually looked at it as the crown prince’s attitude. He had never been this way with any woman, but rumors were circulating that the crown prince was devoting his whole heart to Lady Adelia these days, and it was certain!

Cecil, who was stamping the payment documents, suddenly looked at the officials and said,

“What? You think my hands are playing around?”

They came to their senses and focused on the papers.

They had to work hard, so they could leave work together. If they were caught up in that grumpiness, they wouldn’t be able to get out of the hell of overtime.

As they glanced at the crown prince, he was humming while working. Everyone’s heads turned silently at the eerie sight. It was scary for him to be in a bad mood, but they thought it was even scarier when the ferocious nobleman was humming.

This is good…. (Cecil’s pov)

I hope Lady Adelia doesn’t dump him!

The officials began to concentrate on their work in worry. Without Cecil having to whip them separately, the day’s work ended very early.

When he called the servant to ask for Rowena’s location, he said she was still in the library. Cecil thought about going to the library but changed his mind. He was really curious about how Rowena would prepare for the class.

Cecil had someone tell Rowena that he was going to see her now.

He was busy with his work, so he ate in the office, but Rowena would have left the library for a while and had a proper meal.

Now, almost all the food he ate was digested. It was not night yet, but he thought it was time for Rowena to give him a bedroom lesson for the night. Cecil smiled insidiously and hurried his steps to the palace.

His laughter seemed to send chills down his guards and attendants, but Cecil didn’t even look at them. All he could think about was Rowena.

How should I love you?

Just thinking about how she would be embarrassed and ashamed to teach him various positions, gave him an erection.

Cecil slowed down as he reached the place where Rowena would be waiting.
