Chapter 283: Igor

After the innkeeper had left the room, Igor told Rihannan to wait for a moment as he first looked around the room’s many corners. When he was done checking the bathroom and even under the bed, he came back to Rihannan and spoke.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly dangerous. The room seems clean just as the innkeeper said about recently tidying it up.”

Even Rihannan could tell that it was quite neat and tidy for an old rundown inn. There was no dust on the floor, and the bedding seemed clean and soft as well.

Just as she was about to cautiously step inside the room, Igor stretched his hand over Rihannan’s shoulder.

Thud.

The sound of the door closing behind her back was louder than she had expected. Rihannan couldn’t help but shiver her body.

“Rihannan.”

“Yes?”

Hearing him suddenly call out her name, Rihannan placed her hand on her chest and stared at him, as Igor asked her a question.

“Thinking about it, I think you’d want to wash up first… Would you like to go wash up before having the meal?”

Rihannan quickly shook her head.

“Ah, no, it’s fine. I’ll have the meal first. You told them to quickly bring it up as soon as possible after all.”

“All right. Then please wait at the bed until the meal arrives.”

“Okay…”

Rihannan sat at the bed as Igor ordered her to. For some strange reason, she kept feeling anxious a few moments ago. Even though they were sticking together closely without any problem back in the wharf, she was now feeling anxious, which she couldn’t understand why she was feeling this way.

She thought that it may be because the two of them are left alone in a small room together, but they’ve already married anyways. Even though they lived separately for a while because their relationship wasn’t all that tight, but before then they had spent every single night together in the bedroom. So why is it that she’s suddenly…

Rihannan tried her best to look calm, as she desperately hoped that Igor wouldn’t come and sit on the bed right next to her. If that happens, she would find it hard to even breathe.

But as if to shame her for having that thought, Igor started to come towards her. When he reached out his hand, Rihannan flinched and closed her eyes. She waited for a long time, but seeing as how there was no contact, Rihannan slowly opened her eyes. She saw Igor look down at her with wide-open purple eyes. Igor quickly pulled back his hand that was near Rihannan’s shoulder.

“I was going to take your robe off for you. It seemed uncomfortable, so…”

“I-I’ll take it off myself.”

Rihannan hurriedly took off her robe as well as the coat inside her robe and laid it on the side of the bed. Igor took them and placed them in the closet. After seemingly having a thought for a moment, Igor spoke.

“Then I will go to the stable for a moment.”

“To the stable?”

“Yes. Since I’ve made the horse run all the way from such a distant place, I should check up on the horse’s sh*e for a bit. I’ll be back soon so keep the door locked. Never open it for anyone else but me as well.”

Then Igor left the room. Left alone inside, Rihannan couldn’t erase the thoughts in her mind thinking that he had a big misunderstanding of some sort.

Perhaps he thought that she was rejecting his advances. Was that why he intentionally left the room? That was definitely not her intention so what should she do?

While pacing around the room in a circle over and over again anxiously, she heard a knock on the door.

Igor!

A bright smile came over Rihannan’s face. Overjoyed by the fact that he’s back, she ran to the door.
