Chapter 44

A Box of Cookies (10)

The distance from there to the administrative palace was farther than the library. However, Rowena’s stride was shorter than his, so there was no guarantee that Rowena would have arrived earlier.

“Is His Highness here already?”

“As expected.”

Rowena walked in, and as soon as he heard her voice, a broad smile appeared on Cecil’s usually indifferent face.

“Rowena.”

“Oh! Your Highness!”

Her appearance as she paused and greeted him was lovely. Instead of accepting her greeting as a crown prince, Cecil strode to her.

“Huh?”

Cecil wrapped his arms around Rowena, kissed her on the cheek, and lifted her. He did it so casually like someone who had been doing this for a long time.

“Even if you are in a hurry, you don’t have to run.”

“You’re waiting.”

“Did you hurry because you didn’t want me to wait?”

Rowena, who was held gently in Cecil’s arms, nodded. Cecil laughed with satisfaction.

“Then we should give you a prize.”

Just ahead, the servants opened the door of the living room. They followed him as he strode into the room, while the guards remained at the entrance.

“What reward are you going to give me?”

Cecil smiled insidiously at Rowena’s curiosity. His mind was already filled with thoughts of obscene things he would do with Rowena.

“Do you want it? As a prize, you’ll forgive me no matter what I do to you today. What do you think?”

Rowena’s face flushed as she heard his soft voice. Noticing her shyness, Cecil held Rowena in his arms.

He looked different from when he gave Rowena a piercing look. The maidservants and servants quietly stepped out. This was understandable even if they did not speak out.

“Please call me if you need anything.”

“Yes.”

The crown prince seemed to hide Rowena from others as he held her. He was not ashamed of her, but he was like a lion trying not to expose his prey to other animals.

“Please be safe, Lady Adelia!”

The feisty crown prince was getting quite soft since his engagement with Lady Adelia.

Cecil’s appearance as he walked across the living room to the bedroom showed a clear intention. Rowena kept her head down with her face flushed.

“Do you need any supplies? If you tell me anything, I can get it.”

Rowena shook her head.

Didn’t you say we’ll have a bedroom class later at night?

“Well, a-are you going to do that already?”

“That?”

“Bedroom class…”

Rowena’s face flushed even more as if she were ashamed to say it. Cecil grinned and put Rowena down on the bed.

“Of course. I worked hard today with the desire to take the class from you, or I’d be disappointed.”

Kiss.

Cecil kissed Rowena’s lips lightly, turned around, and walked to the bedroom door. As she watched him close the door and return, Rowena put her hand over her chest. Her heart was pounding.

“F-first of all, your bath…”

“I’m okay.”

Cecil hinted at her because he was anxious to wait again, but Rowena shook her head fiercely.

“N-no! Never! Don’t do that…”

Seeing her desperation, Cecil decided to give in. If that was important to Rowena, he thought it would be better to act according to her wishes.

“Then shall we take a shower together?”

If Rowena had been a bomb, she would have exploded at this moment. Cecil giggled at her speechless appearance and kissed her on the lips. Then he took her and walked towards the bathroom.

“Huh? Oh, no!”

She noticed Cecil’s intentions, but his mouth was closed, and the kiss drove her crazy.

Why am I so happy?

Rowena gasped as she hugged Cecil’s neck. Cecil’s tongue felt good as it moved back and forth in her mouth, and her hair stood on end.

She had mixed feelings about not being ashamed and that they would never see each other’s bodies if it wasn’t for the bedroom class. Also, the fact that she married Cecil yesterday.

Our marriage would have already been registered in the temple.

The marriage records of the imperial family were accessible only with the emperor’s permission. Therefore, even if Cecil and Rowena registered their marriage, no one could know about it.

Cecil stepped into the bathroom kissing Rowena’s lips, then he put her down on a massage bed. Immediately, he reached out to her dress, Rowena was embarrassed.

“Y-y-your Highness!”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Cecil asked Rowena with eyes filled with expectations and mischief. Rowena pondered what to do at this moment.

Will I take a bath with him?! Will I be able to do it? Am I going to do it with him today?

“Y-you take it off first!”

With all sorts of thoughts rolling in his mind, that was what came out? Cecil smirked at Rowena’s words.

“I’d be happy to. My princess.”

Cecil kissed Rowena on the cheek and took off his clothes. Although he usually had people to do it, he could handle this himself.
