Chapter 284: The Urge and Shame
Leaving the stable, Igor walked through a group of people who still couldn’t help but be curious about him while having a blank expression on his face. After making an order to the innkeeper to bring up bathwater one hour from now, he then went up the stairs. Just as he stepped onto the last stair at the top, what he saw was the door to their room wide open.
Igor immediately pulled his sword out of his scabbard and dashed in. A severe regret filled his mind, thinking that he shouldn’t have let her stay in the room alone even for a moment. As he burst into the room with an enraged face, what he saw was Rihannan who was sucking her fingers. In front of her was a plate full of a hearty meal with mainly seafood ingredients, as well as an employee who was staring at Igor with wide-open eyes.
“Igor?”
Rihannan hurriedly pulled her finger out of her mouth. She talked with a very flustered tone.
“What is it? Did something happen?”
The employee also stared at Igor with trembling pupils as he looked at the sword in Igor’s hand.
“Ah, I was just, it seemed that your wife is pregnant, so I was just asking if this wasn’t to her liking, I would bring her another meal instead and…”
As Rihannan had her outerwear off of her and was only wearing thinner clothes, her bulging belly was more obvious to see. It seemed that the employee considered her pregnancy and was asking how the taste of the meal was so that she would be able to choose which meal she would like more. It was absolutely embarrassing to get enraged like this for something so trivial.
No, before that, the reaction that came out from within his own body was even more unbelievable. Seeing Rihannan sucking the sauce on her finger with her large round belly made Igor feel a heavy s*xual urge for her. Seeing her in that state, nothing else.
Igor hurriedly fixed his disheveled expression. Rihannan had shown signs of being hesitant and afraid of his touches, so having this urge to ravish her made him no different than being a beast. Igor spoke with a low tone voice to try and hide away the emotions he was feeling right now.
“Leave the food there and get out.”
Hearing his voice which sounded somehow displeased and angered, Rihannan and the employee flinched at the same time. The employee sat the tray down on a table and got out of the room as if he was practically running away. In this awkward quiet moment, Rihannan’s eyes darted around the room and afterward spoke with a small voice.
“Um, the reason why I opened the door was that they said they brought the ordered meals, so…”
Igor quickly shook his hand side to side cutting off Rihannan.
“I am not angry because of that.”
“Ah, then I’m sorry for eating the food before you. I was just thinking of having a taste, but I was just so hungry that I ended up…”
“No, that’s not it either.”
“Then why is it that you’re angry?”
“I’m not angry.”
“It does seem like you are though?”
“…”
Igor let out a groan. Not being able to speak truthfully of his emotions, he tried to make his voice sound natural and calm as much as he could.
“I was just a bit surprised since the door was open. Since the food is here, let’s have dig in.”
He brought Rihannan to sit in front of the table, and he sat opposite of her as well. As expected of a port city, the various seafood that was presented was large and fresh looking. Igor took a fist-sized prawn, cut it up into bite-sized pieces, and put them on Rihannan’s dish. Rihannan stabbed a piece of the prawn and put it in her mouth. As she munched on the prawn and naturally smiled widely as she tasted the freshness, Igor laughed gingerly.
