CH 439

Lately, there’s been one good news after another.

After returning, Caesar quickly awakened and his injuries were mostly fine which had Rosie all giddy. As the only person who was infected and survived after taking medicine, he was undoubtedly the best lab rat.

After he awakened, Snow specifically came to visit him, carefully inspecting his body externally and internally. He could completely recover if he continues taking medication, his mental state also wasn’t affected much, he was just a bit slow and had difficulties moving freely.

Snow’s explanation was that the soul-devouring bug not only could disturb their mind but also their nerves, thankfully Caesar took the medication quickly, otherwise, if it was delayed for too long, he might have ended up severely crippled, like Elena’s thirteenth aunt.

But even some difficulties moving made Caesar depressed, but Rosie was quite happy. Since Caesar couldn’t move around freely and couldn’t even pick things up, Rosie took the chance to act as his nanny, pour drinks for him, and take care of him in every possible way.

A nanny?

No, no, to Lin Xiao, rather than being a nanny, it was more like she was raising a pet… Ever since the incident at Yellowstone, it was like their positions swapped, every time it was Caesar getting embarrassed and Rosie being calm and collected.

“Hey, Rosie… at that time, what did I do to you?”

Caesar couldn’t completely remember what happened after he lost control, his memory was vague, and felt like he did something improper to Rosie but no one would tell him what he did, so he could only ask Rosie herself.

“Do you really want to know?”

After Rosie seated Caesar on the bed, she helped him with his medication while asking.

“I-I do.”

A man takes responsibility for what he does, he was willing to pay the price no matter what he did!

“Hehe, actually it wasn’t anything too bad.”

Rosie peeled off the old bandages on his shoulder and gently applied fresh ointment on his wounds.

“At that time, you almost stripped me naked in front of everyone, then hugged me and forcibly kissed me!”

“What? Forcibly kissed you? W-why would I… tsss!”

Caesar got impatient and wanted to ask more but accidentally tore his wound and almost knocked over the ointment in Rosie’s hand.

“Ah! Don’t move… stop moving! Just sit there, you hear me!”

“O-oh…”

After he was sternly rebuked, Caesar immediately sat up straight and endured the pain while Rosie was helping him apply the medication.

“Right, just like that… don’t forget you can’t do any strenuous exercises, you have to rest, otherwise I won’t help you if there are any residual effects.”

“Okay… but Rosie, about that…”

He almost stripped Rosie naked and forcibly kissed her?

Although it was hard to believe, Caesar faintly remembered a moistness in his mouth, but it disappeared before he could savor it and when he woke up he was already on a bed in the inn.

If he actually did those things to Rosie, how can he atone for it?

“Hehe, no worries, I don’t mind.” Rosie focused on wrapping his wound with new bandages.

“What, you don’t mind?” How could a maiden not mind being forcibly kissed?

“Sigh, you really are dense…”

“What did you say?”

“N-nothing! Really… I mind! I obviously mind, a lot! Are you satisfied!”

“Um… Rosie, although I couldn’t control myself, I still did that to you, so…”

“So what? … Okay, it’s done, try moving it.”

Rosie finished up with his wound and then slapped him once like she was showing off the result of her work.

Caesar nodded and tried moving his shoulder. Nothing felt off, Rosie’s bindings were done as carefully as always.

“Um… about what we were talking about…”

“You’re so annoying! …Okay, okay, since you did that to me, what do you plan on doing?”

“So I want to make it up to you.”

“Make it up to me? How do you plan on doing that?”

“That… I-I don’t know. If you’re angry then just hit me! I won’t retaliate.”

“Puh… what do you take me for, a hoodlum?” Rosie was amused by his clumsy appearance, then thought of something and sat next to him, “You can forget the hitting, but you have to make it up to me!”

“No problem! I can do whatever you want me to do.”

“Anything?”

“Anything! As long as you forgive me, I can agree to anything!”

“Hehe, okay then.”

Rosie smiled and then looked into Caesar’s eyes while acting angry before making her request.

“I want you to… seriously kiss me once!”

“No problem! That’s a piece of cake, I… what?”

Caesar nodded and replied without thinking.

“Kiss you?”

“Yes, kiss me.” Rosie blinked and repeated herself.

“But, why?”

“Don’t worry about that… I just want you to kiss me! And it has to be serious and passionate, so is that a yes or no?”

“That…”

In order to hide his awkwardness, Caesar coughed and unconsciously shifted to the side to try and maintain some distance from Rosie, but she closely followed and didn’t let him go.

“So do you agree or not!?”

“Hm… can you make another request?”

“No, just that one! If you kiss me seriously, then I’ll forgive you, otherwise, when we get back I’ll spread what happened and let everyone in Lombard Kingdom know that their fifth prince is a pervert!”

“Uh… t-that won’t do.”

How could he still continue living if it got out? He would probably have to marry Rosie to keep his reputation. Though Rosie would probably be happier about that…

“Okay, I agree… but, what is a serious kiss?”

“It’s a very serious, serious kiss!”

“So what does serious mean?”

“Hm, how should I explain it? … Just like when I kiss you!”

“Hm? Just like when you kiss me?”

“Yes, at Yellowstone, you might have been delirious, but you still remember how I kissed you, right?”

“… I think so.”

Caesar nodded and closed his eyes to try to remember the details. He did remember Rosie pushing her tongue in between his teeth, then…

Hm? Wait a second, something doesn’t seem right…

“Wait Rosie… you just said you were the one who kissed me?”

“Right, I had to feed the medicine to you mouth to mouth, sigh, I’m just too selfless.” Rosie proudly responded but didn’t realize she let the secret out of the bag.

“Oh, so I didn’t forcibly kiss you, but you forcibly kissed me, right?”

“Right… eh? No, no!”

“Rosie, you tricked me!”

“No! Caesar, listen to me, actually I…” Rosie tried to explain herself, but suddenly remembered something and toughened up, “Hmph, so what if I tricked you?”

“Hah?”

“Let me tell you… I didn’t lie to you about you tearing my clothes off! Also, even if I forcibly kissed you, that was to save you, so I’m your savior! What, you’re going to yell at your savior? Caesar, I didn’t take you to be that kind of person!”

“I, I-I…”

“So hurry up and seriously kiss me!”

“N-no…”

“Caesar, let me tell you, you’re going to agree whether you want to or not!”

“Hmph, how?”

“Hehe, since you’re powerless right now, simply a cute little pet I’m raising!”

Rosie giggled while holding Caesar’s arms and pushed him back pressing him down into the bed.
