Chapter 11

“Urgh!”

Riya grumbled and placed a curtain to cover Quangi again.

The door opened and Seir entered the room as soon as Riya placed Quangi in the dressing room.

“We-welcome…prince.”

Riya greeted him with her typical expression.

Seir, who was approaching her with a smile, abruptly came to a halt.

“What is this?”

Riya’s conscience was pricked by Seir’s cold tone. Riya then raised her head to look at him.

“What do you mean, Prince?”

“Can you tell me why you have blood on your cheek?”

Seir inquired, touching Riya’s cheek with both of his hands.

Riya’s neck shrank as a result of the awkward and itchy hand touch.

“I-I’m going to bed now…so…”

Riya’s sole concern was getting Seir out of there as soon as possible.

She was determined to keep Quangi safe.

Seir, on the other hand, had a sneaky smile on his face.

With his thumb, he stroked Riya’s lips and whispered in a greasy tone.

“I have good news for you. Elijah had just left the castle on her way to her mother’s house.”

“What?”

Riya looked up and stared at Seir, having no idea what he meant.

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Aren’t you relieved that you won’t offend her feelings?”

Seir smiled and hugged Riya, revealing his white teeth.

Riya Lisburn, on the other hand, felt as if she were about to die, in contrast to Seir’s joy.

Of course, this man is a wealthy husband with a gorgeous smile, but he was not more valuable than her own life.

“S-Seir-nim, but it’s still daylight now.”

“After all this time, what difference does broad daylight make? It was difficult for me to bear how adorable you were at breakfast earlier. Do you know how much I resisted the urge to hug you right away?”

Riya got goosebumps all over her body because she had a feeling Charlson was watching her from somewhere.

“I’m sorry. I’m……”

She tried to come up with an excuse, but nothing came to mind.

According to the law she read a few days ago, refusing her husband’s request to spend the night was also a crime.

Miryu, who was watching through the door and was restless, rushed in quickly and said loudly.

“I’ve already prepared the bedclothes for the new one, so please rest comfortably. We’ll lock the door from the outside to prevent anyone from approaching or interfering.”

Then she gave Riya a hard wink.

She appeared to be begging not to ruin the good fortune that had come her way.

Miryu, a maid who has been caring for her since she married until now, had to assist the two in sleeping together and spending the night together in some way.

Because no one will be able to ignore Riya if she becomes pregnant.

Seir eventually dragged Riya to bed.

Riya sat carefully in bed, and Seir turned to face her.

Riya stared into the air with his blazing eyes, unsure what to do.

“You, the more I look at you, the more beautiful you become. Why couldn’t I open my eyes to your beauty earlier?”

He raised his hand, stroked Riya’s face slowly, and then moved his hand away from her lips.

Riya really felt like she was going to die. She felt as if she were taking a step closer to death.

Elijah, the incarnation of jealousy, will go insane after she knows that she spent one night with this man, and her follower, Charlson, will sharpen his axe.

Riya was going insane because the sound of an axe was ringing in her ears.

Seil, who was unaware of her situation, intended to caress her more intensely as a reward for his wife, whom he had neglected for so long.

The sound was heard as he gently pulled her waist and poured hot kisses on her neck.

“Quang!”

As he carefully unbuttoned Riya’s dress, Seir raised his head in surprise.

“What’s that noise?”

Riya, taken aback, quickly hugged Seir’s waist, kissed him on the cheek, and whispered in his ear.

“I’m sorry, but it’s actually…the sound of my fart.”

Seir, who had been stunned for a while, suddenly gave Riya’s arm strength and poured more intense kisses on her neck.

“Ah, Riya, you’re driving me insane. Even the sound of your fart is lovely.”

‘How can there be a perv like this?’

As a result, Riya had to be suffocated even more by Seir’s kiss.

“Eungh…emh…husband-nim, P-please wait!”

Riya struggled as Seir’s hand moved around her chest, barely stopping his violent hand movements.

“I-I’m really shy, so… c-can’t you turn off the lights?”

Seir burst out laughing at Riya’s words.

“Ah, you’re just so lovely, Riya.”

Seir then lavished more kisses on Riya’s cheek.

“But isn’t it the same if I turn off the lights in the middle of the day?”

“……”

“And what are you embarrassed about as a couple? Don’t you remember when you stripped naked and jumped into my study in broad daylight to seduce me?”

Riya was taken aback by those words.

‘Oh, my! Riya Lisburn! You were such a crazy bitch!’

“Riya, please don’t burn my heart any further and just lie down.” I’ll take care of it.”

“Ah, then please close your eyes while I’m taking off all my clothes.”

“In that case, I will do as you wish.”

Although he thought Riya was unpleasantly picky, Seir planned to do as she asked so he could sleep with her.

The more Seir thought about Riya’s shy image in bed, the more he wanted to hug her right away.

While Seir closed her eyes, Riya hurriedly looked around the room.

And she soon found the solid wood ornament, secretly lifted it, and slammed Seir in the back of the head.

“Please accept my apologies, Seir. I can’t get close to you. I don’t want to die!”

Riya rushed to the dressing room after stroking Seir’s head, who had fainted due to a sudden blow, as if he were pitiful.

“Quang-ah!”

Quangi was motionless when Riya opened the door, like a huge plaster statue.

“Quang-ah?”

She couldn’t tell he was sleeping until she got close and examined him.

“Growl, growl, growl, growl.”

(T/N: this is supposed to be Quangi’s sleeping sound XD)

* * * * *

Yucal summoned his escort knight, Norton. In the midst of checking and working on the urgent documents, his mind was becoming increasingly complicated.

“Did you call me, Prince?”

“Did you find out anything about Princess Lisburn?”

“Yes. I got information about her going to the hyena publishing company.”

“Hyena?”

Yucal asked back, his brow furrowed.

“Yes. He’s a terrible person. The rumor was that if he caught someone doing something wrong, he would deprive them of everything they owned, both financially and physically.”

“Didn’t you mention it was a publishing company?”

“Yes, but he is also a loan broker. It’s a bad publishing house, and he’s a cruel person who receives all of his author’s wealth and body parts if the book he helped sells poorly. There are even rumors that he has turned a large number of people into idiots by attracting private loans.”

“Do you mean Princess Riya Lisburn has anything to do with him?”

Yucal inquired, as if he was perplexed.

“Princess Riya Lisburn has been writing a manuscript day and night, according to a maid named Miryu. It’s a romance novel, according to what I’ve heard.”

“What exactly is a romance novel?”

When Yucal inquired, Norton responded nervously.

“I’m sorry, Prince, but I had no idea. If you give me a little more time, I’ll find out right away what romance novels are!”

Yucal rubbed his temples and spat it coldly.

“No, just leave.”

“Well, by the way, I have received a report from the gate that Princess Riya Lisburn has left the castle to go out in a hurry.”

* * * * *

“Quang…Quang…”

The green dragon flailed its wings and wobbled wildly in pursuit of Riya, who was just ahead.

Riya dashed forward, holding a basket full of tightly fried chicken wings in her hands.

“Hold on a little longer, Quang-ah! We’ve arrived in the northern forest.”

Riya felt compelled to safely return Quangi to the northern land.

She couldn’t risk leaving Quangi here and dies horrifyingly at the hands of Yucal’s sword.

She’s not sure if it’s because Quangi isn’t good at sports or because he’s still young, but Quangi is panting heavily as he chases Riya.

He was walking hard in a squatting position because the way he staggered with his large body made him look ridiculous.

“Are those wings just decorations?”

Riya muttered and looked back at him.

It was strange to see a dragon with such a large body waddling around.

It resembled a dragon with beautiful wings but couldn’t fly like a chicken.

Tsk, his mother flies exceptionally well, is this a sign of poor development?

“Okay, Quangi, we’ve made it. Here’s your prize.”

Quangi began to pick up and eat diligently when Riya arrived in the forest and scattered fried chicken wings on the floor.

“Ingest slowly. You may get indigestion.”

Riya said affectionately, stroking Quangi’s wing, which was chewing furiously.

‘Now is the time to say goodbye.’

According to the rumors she had heard, today is the day the dragons will appear, and they will collect these baby dragons along the way.

“Return to your homeland, Quangi. You might die if you stay here. A bad guy is trying to take your life.”

The sound was heard as Riya sighed and stroked Quangi once more.

“Are you referring to me as the bad guy?”

The dry voice that she had heard many times.

Riya swallowed her saliva and returned her gaze. Yucal Brian, as expected, was the source of the voice.

“Oh, how can you……”

Yucal snuck his wrist out. On its wrist was a golden bracelet with a red ruby.

“This is a signal meter jewel that tells you where the dragon is.”

Yucal replied, his sharp gaze fixed on her.

Watching his hand moving towards his sword sheath,  Riya sneakily backed away from him.

‘Quangi is in danger.’

Quangi was eating fried chicken wings with his head down, knowing nothing.

“Riya Lisburn, please take a step back when I speak nicely. As you may be aware, this dragon has grown twice as large as ordinary humans in just one day. That’s how dangerous he is. If you don’t take a step back, you’ll be committing treason against the Hernian Empire.”

Riya shook her head and approached Quangi, hanging him from his massive neck and kissing his bumpy, feisty chin and mouth.

As a result of the kiss, she was eager to pray for Quangi to grow bigger and stronger so he could escape Yucal’s threat.

“Quang…”

Quangi, who was drenched in kisses, roared and raised his head.

At first, he made eye contact with Riya, and then saw the approaching prince Yucal with a sword raised at him.

“Quang!”

“Quangi! Get away! Return to your land as soon as possible!”

Quangi, on the other hand, only blinked and did not move.

Yucal approached slowly, pointing the tip of his sword at Quangi.

His sword was aimed at his neck, the dragon’s vital point.

“Quangi! Please leave!”

Riya, who couldn’t take it any longer, dashed over to Yucal.

“You are a cruel person! My Quang is still a toddler!”

Yucal, on the other hand, swung the sword against Quangi, avoiding Riya’s approach.

Quangi, who narrowly avoided the sword, roared and spread his wings wide.

Yukal wielded his sword once more, and this time Quangi couldn’t avoid the tip of the sword.

“Kyaaa!”
