Chapter 89

One’s Blood (1)

The effect of the magic potion was insignificant. She heard it was a medicine that could fuel her desire for Cecil.

When Cecil’s hand came into Rowena’s clothes and began to touch her, she felt a strong desire, but it was something Rowena could handle.

This is good enough.

It was Cecil who always loved her till she could barely control herself.

What happens if I want more of him?

“The drug doesn’t end there. Once a month or so, you’re going to want me. After going through it, I say you’ll be okay.”

Cecil put Rowena on his lap and spoke to her who simply seemed curious.

Sometimes, she still craved Cecil, but it wasn’t that strong. She just felt so sensitive and she couldn’t focus on Cecil because of the magic drug.

“Do you want me to beg you to love me?”

“I hope you want me. More than I want…”

Cecil kissed Rowena on the cheek and placed her on his lap. They were to practice dancing for the engagement ball.

Cecil, the crown prince, was used to such a ball, but Rowena wasn’t. She was a lady who was accustomed to only being on the sidelines.

Cecil grabbed Rowena’s hand and led her to the middle of the room, and the servant standing at the edge of the wall knocked on the wall covered with wallpaper.

Knock, knock.

The band’s musical performance began when it rang twice. They were called in to practice Rowena’s dance. In order not to disturb Cecil and Rowena’s privacy, they gathered in a small room attached to the practice room and were getting ready to play.

The servant knocked on the wall and they started playing music when he signaled. The music echoed through dozens of holes at the top of the wall to the practice room.

The hole was located relatively high, so in the eyes of those who sat on chairs and played musical instruments, they could not see what the crown prince and his fiancee were doing. They could hear their voices, but it was so distant that they couldn’t listen to them unless they spoke up.

Rowena moved her feet to the music and thought about how far Lyria or Kian had fled. According to the maid’s words, the Marquis of Wenson asked to meet.

Not Cecil, but Rowena.

Rowena turned it down. Since Lyria had disappeared, it was clear that he wanted to ask about her whereabouts.

Writing a letter to Lyria eased allegations that Rowena helped her, but the Marquis of Wenson remained suspicious.

In addition, she had to be careful as he was suspected of sending an assassin to her.

Anna can’t stay close yet, and it’ll take Pina a few days to return.

The servants beside Cecil were competent, and some were brought from the count. However, the good thing was that they were also compatible with each other.

She was worried particularly because the work entrusted to Pina could be dangerous. She was sure Lancelot would protect her.

“Rowena.”

“What?”

“How dare you think of something else in front of me?”

Cecil pulled Rowena and she fell into his arms. Rowena’s eyes widened at Cecil’s eyes, which were closed during the dance.

“Well, that’s not it… Hm!”

He tasted her plump lips greedily. Rowena was embarrassed because the attendants and maids were watching even if she was far away.

“Mhm, Your Highness!”

Cecil smiled as soon as their lips were removed.

“You should do this to the lips that make excuses. Why don’t you lie to me again?”

“B-before you say anything, hmph! Hm…”

Cecil kissed her again, pushed his tongue in, and tasted her obscenely. Both the servant and the maid turned their backs politely, and the only thing that made her uncomfortable was their presence.

“Ugh… mph! Mhm…”

She didn’t want to make a sound because she was ashamed, but their tongue rubbed against each other, and a squelching sound leaked out. Cecil tasted Rowena’s lips and gave her a strange look.

“Haa, ha…”

Cecil held Rowena’s face, sucking once more on her lips, leaving her breathless. The red skin was like a pale pink rose.

“I should eat you because you’re so cute.”

“I-I’m sorry! I’m sorry…”

“What?”

“Your Highness is in front of me… I-I thought of something else?”

“Oh.”

The arm wrapped around her waist was tightened and her body came closer. Rowena rolled her eyes and looked at Cecil.

Cecil didn’t look offended. Rather, he seemed to be enjoying himself because he had a reason to pick on Rowena.

Such a grumpy person!

“Will you admit your mistake?”

“Yes.”

Cecil smiled ominously when Rowena nodded her head. As she looked at him wondering what he was up to, he said with a deep gaze,

“If you did something wrong, you should be punished accordingly.”

“Punished!”

“W-what…?”

Rowena couldn’t get a millimeter away from Cecil even though she looked very wary. Cecil said as he pulled Rowena’s upper body.

“What do you mean? I’ll kiss you until your lips are swollen, so open your mouth.”

“G-go to the room!”

Cecil’s blue eyes shone dangerously when she shouted like this in a hurry. Rowena thought it was a mistake for a moment.
