Chapter 161 - ARTHUR'S PRIVATE LESSON

"Nica, I want more." Arthur's voice was deep and hoarse, making her heart flutter. They just got married and he was in a honeymoon mood.

Without a word, Veronica nuzzled his neck with her nose. "We can't. It still hurts and I have to go out." It wasn't just him, she also wanted to do it, but she was worried that she would lose her stamina and can't go out.

Arthur sighed. "If it was hurting down there why did you get up? You should go and rest."

"But I wanted to spend more time with you," Veronica spoke in a spoiled manner.

"We could do that in our bedroom." It gave him great joy that he wasn't the only one feeling like that. Even so, he didn't want her to endure pain because of him.

She told him, "Yes, but I thought you might have work and I would drag you down because of my selfish desire."

"Acting like a mistress right after getting married." Arthur let out a deep breath. "You don't have to be taught any lessons. You are doing fine now. If you learn anymore, I'm afraid you will not show your face to me again."

"Are the rules that bad?" Veronica curiously asked him.

Arthur nodded. "Yes. I will give you books that are necessary for you to learn. Otherwise, don't bother to become a proper mistress. I don't need a mistress who will fulfill her duty as a wizard's wife. I need my wife who will love me day and night."

She giggled and hugged his neck. "Okay. I will love you day and night."

Arthur pecked on her cheek. "That's better." He carried her to the couch and laid her down. "You should rest more. I'll bring some books for you to read."

"Okay!" Veronica gleefully agreed. She was relieved to know that he cared for her. Every day, he showed her a new side and she got to learn more about it. She liked this slow process. She obediently laid on the couch.

Arthur brought two books with him. He sat down beside her and let her rest her head on his thigh. "Read this book," he said. "This book is about the history of Tybu and the Magic Tower. To be precise, you will learn about the start of the Great War and how Magic Tower assisted the good side to save the day." He sounded proud. For him who loved magic and liked to fight for justice, he had great pride as the Master of the Magic Tower and its glorifying history.

Veronica took the book from his hand and commented, "I will learn about bloodshed, huh?"

He didn't deny it. "Yes. I know it's not the right time for heading this kind of book. You just filled your stomach. However, if you want to learn from zero levels, this is level one."

She questioned him, "What is level zero then?"

His answer was quick, "Making love with your husband. Don't worry. I will teach you slowly."

Veronica hid her red face behind the book. She sensed him combing her hair with his fingers of the left hand. Something melted her heart and gave her a heart racing feeling. She smiled sweetly and started reading.

A few hours later, Catherine stretched her arms and legs. 'Finally, I've finished my work. But Ver didn't come to me. Don't tell me she is doing this? Sigh! I knew this was going to happen. Now, what will I do? I wanted to go out with her.' She pondered for a while and then thought, 'Hmm… maybe I should just go and check what she is doing. It can be that she isn't doing anything.'

She asked Ovior's permission to go out. He managed to let out a sound while looking at the papers. She felt sorry for him. Although managing the accounts was hard, his work was even harder. He was the head of the Administration. Everything that should be documented went to him for the final check. That's why he had to check every word and punctuation on each line. He couldn't afford to make a mistake.

'Only he knows how he had been working nonstop like that,' Catherine thought. She went across the floor and knocked on the door. "Ver, are you there? I'm done with my work."

The door was opened by Arthur's magic. She saw Veronica was sitting idly on the couch. Aside from her messy hair, everything looked fine. 'Did they seriously not do anything? When did Arthur become a monk?' She raised an eyebrow. For the first time, she didn't want to believe her eyes.

Veronica placed a bookmark in the book and looked at her. "You are here. Let's go."

Arthur held her hand. "What do you mean by 'let's go'?" he asked. "Are you going to go out wearing this dress?"

"Yes," she replied. "Is there anything wrong?"

Arthur answered, "There is. This dress is to wear inside your house. Not to wear outside."

Veronica was surprised and she looked down at the dress she was wearing. "Oh, I thought it was a fancy dress."

"It's understandable since you didn't have good clothes to wear in the temple. Let me show you where the outdoor dresses are kept." Arthur stood up and held her hand.

After dressing up, Veronica and Catherine got inside a fancy carriage. Arthur and Veronica sat down, side by side, and Catherine sat in the opposite.

"I'll leave you in front of the main gate of the capital city. It was built to keep the city safe from the enemy during the Great War." He gave his wife a red pouch. It made a zing sound. The pouch felt heavy. "Keep this money with you. Buy anything you want. If you are hungry, go to a fancy restaurant and have your meal. If you want snacks, street food is good. They are cheap but tasty."

Veronica's face was glowing in happiness. "My husband is the best!"

Arthur smiled at her. "Just don't eat too spicy food. Your taste buds can't handle their spicy meals."

"All right!" Veronica agreed.

'I'm not a light bulb here but why does it feel like I'm the light bulb?' Catherine thought dejectedly.
