Chapter 58

“Hmm? You’ve been waiting for this the whole time, haven’t you?”

“What? No!”

“What do you mean? You were so happy this morning.”

Rowena had nothing to say to the whisper. As he said, she felt it a lot. He excited her and gave her sweet hugs, what did he mean?

“W-well, that’s because you only touch t-t-those places!”

“Yeah. I’ll just touch those places as much as I want. I’ll make you feel a lot more than you did in the morning or last night, so let’s get started?”

Cecil immediately headed to bed with Rowena. Rowena panicked as he put her down in the middle of the bed and took off his clothes. She had also prepared for this situation, as soon as she had finished dinner, she took a bath and waited, but still!

Talk! Yes, we need to talk!

Rowena, looking around to see if there was anything to use as a subject, found a book on a table close to her bed. It was the book Cecil ordered the servants to bring.

“Well… Your Highness! What’s that book?”

“Oh, I forgot the book.”

Cecil was already almost undressed. He rose from his seat with ease and went down to the bed. Then he took off his pants and the rest of his underwear. Rowena jerked her head to the other side at the sight of his huge pen*s that showed up proudly.

How can you be so calm?

She was going to die of embarrassment just from last night’s work, but Cecil’s face showed excitement.

There were eight books piled up on the table. It was a big heavy book with a thick cover. What was unusual was that the title wasn’t written on the back of the book.

Cecil rummaged through the books and returned to bed with one of them.

“I thought you wouldn’t have prepared it.”

Rowena had a sense of foreboding with his playful face. As expected, the cover of the book was engraved with suspicious sentences that intertwined men and women.

“Th-that’s…”

“Reference book.”

Cecil, who came up to the bed, put down the book next to Rowena and opened it for her. Rowena’s eyes lit up with a large illustration that occupied the entire page of the book.

“Why? No, well…”

The book Cecil brought was a bedroom education book handed down to the royal family. It was also hand-selected and came with eight books, the most difficult of the advanced versions and textbooks.

The servants who were moving the book earlier or the maids who saw them carrying it seemed not to know what it was, but Rowena was embarrassed and wanted to hit Cecil with the book.

“H-how can you ask the servant to bring it?!”

“What? I’m sure they all know that we share a bed.”

“But I’m embarrassed!”

Cecil seemed to be laughing at Rowena as she pulled the hem of the blanket to cover her face.

“Isn’t it too late to be surprised?”

Cecil giggled and hugged Rowena in bed. Rowena struggled a moan, but even that was softened by Cecil’s kisses. Soon the room was filled with the soft moans of the woman and the harsh groans of the man.

Last time it was cookies, this time it was cakes. Louis held the box in his arms and watched the sunset through the window.

You’re treating me like a real kid.

Fortunately, the crown prince did not come out. Louis was also curious about him, but he had heard so many bad rumors that he didn’t want to see him in person.

It’s the second day now.

Far from meeting Rowena, he was only hearing that she needed stability because of her great mental shock.

If it were Paul, he would have insisted that seeing the faces of her family was better for her recovery, but Louis, who was still a minor, didn’t have the guts. All he had to do was ask the servant about Rowena’s situation.

What will my father say…?

Fortunately, there was a meeting among the nobles today.

Paul entered all kinds of aristocratic gatherings after Rowena agreed to be engaged to the crown prince. Today was the day of the regular meeting of the Northern Nobility, so he had to be a part of it.

Adelia had nothing to do with the North.

Theo seems to be away for work with the Knights. I think I’ll be safe if I don’t run into Matthias.

Matthias was in a state of pressure over Rowena’s failure to return home. Theo said it was safer for Rowena, but Matthias said it wasn’t.

“She’s shaming our family!”

If anyone had heard it, they would have thought she had lived without staying out overnight. His father, Paul, was also silent, and no one but Matthias was protesting.

Of course, it was a thing that could not be brought to the crown prince. No matter how fearless Matthias was, he would not have said such a thing in front of the crown prince.

Theo left as if he was bored. He seemed to think that Matthias had other reasons for getting angry.

What does he know?

It was common for Matthias to get angry when things didn’t go his way. The problem was that Louis was the only one left for him to vent his anger.
