LOGINKNOCK KNOCK
Emmelyn was moved from her reverie when the door was knocked twice, then opened. Entered three maids with a stack of girl's clothing and other necessities, followed by two male servants with buckets of water.
Wait...
She turned her head to the left and saw the beautiful bathtub. Ah... will they get her bath ready for her? For real?
Suddenly she felt her head itchy. She badly needed to wash her hair. It's also been an awfully long time since she had a proper bath. She could only wash up properly three days ago in the river when she had the chance. How she missed her bathtub at home back in Wintermere!
"My lady... Prince Mars asked us to serve you and get you ready to meet him at the dining room to have breakfast together," said one of the maids with respect. "His Highness had something to say to you. It's important that you prepare yourself."
Emmelyn couldn't believe her own hearing.
So... she was caught so that she could get herself ready and meet the devil for breakfast together. This was so weird. Why would the prince eat together with his attempted killer?
This whole thing was so confusing. However, she really missed her bath. She had no choice but say yes.
Maybe her luck changed. Not only was she not killed for the attempted assassination, now she also got to take a warm bath and eat good food for breakfast.
Well... she better enjoyed it and listened to what the devil had to say.
The relaxing bath didn't last as long as Emmelyn would have wanted it, but still, it was good enough. She felt so relaxed and her mood improved. Now, she was ready for anything.
The two maids helped her get dressed and combed her hair. Finally, they hung a small pouch with scented herbs on her waist. Now, Emmelyn felt like herself again. She was smelling like blooming roses.
[This is really nice. But if the devil is really gay, why did he ask the maids to dress me up like a girl? How confusing!]
Emmelyn didn't know what to think anymore.
"Please follow me, My Lady. I will take you to the dining room," said one of her maids while bowing down her head. Emmelyn felt hungry, so she welcomed the invitation to have a good meal.
Yes, she was at the enemy's den, but that didn't mean she would act foolishly and refused good food. She would need her energy to get her revenge anyway.
She walked gracefully, following the maid with two castle guards walking by her sides. It looked like they intentionally kept this position to ensure Emmelyn wouldn't run away.
[I'm not that dumb to run away in broad daylight, with an empty stomach.]
They passed a really long corridor after they went down the stairs from the top of the tower. Emmelyn was already familiar with this castle and knew where they were taking her. The devil had his personal space where he would enjoy dinner alone, overlooking the beautiful pond filled with water lilies.
This castle was given by his father, the king, for him to manage after he turned 20. This was where he ran his household of staff and army. The royal palace was located around 3 kilometers away from here.
The devil sometimes would hold feasts and meetings with some government officials, nobles, or landlords from around the area and they would use the big hall in the main building. However, for his personal time, he preferred to use this quarter on the east part of the castle.
Usually, no women were allowed in this area, else they would be executed, so it was no surprise that the maid stopped by the doorway and motioned Emmelyn to enter on her own. It looked like she was the first or only woman being allowed in this quarter after gods know how many years.
Emmelyn stepped inside after the two castle guards stared at her as if telling her to enter without a sound. She finally relented.
With graceful steps, she walked inside to find the devil was sitting leisurely on his favorite chair while looking at the swans playing with water lilies in the pond outside.
"Good morning," Emmelyn was very interested in finding out what the devil had in plan for her. In the meantime, she wouldn't provoke him and would act politely.
The man with long silver hair turned around to face her when he heard Emmelyn's voice. He wore casual clothes this morning, but it looked so good on him and for a moment, Emmelyn was in a daze.
At the same time, the devil was astounded to see the little slave that tried to kill him last night had transformed into a really beautiful and elegant girl.
Were they even the same person? He furrowed his brows.
Emmelyn had long wavy brown hair, that fell down to her waist gracefully. Her face was petite with fresh skin and healthy blushing cheeks. Her eyes were big like a doe's with brilliant blue color, which made them look like sapphires. Her full red lips were so kissable that the devil subconsciously gulped.
Suddenly he felt so hungry. However, it wasn't food that he was craving.
"Uh ... you haven't answered my question, why did you ask the servants to move my things from my room?" Emmelyn asked before sipping her wine.Her hand, which was holding the wine glass and ready to drink, lowered back to the table and she crossed her arms over her chest.Mars shrugged. "What do you mean by 'your room '? You have no room in this castle. Before, you slept in the servants' quarter with the others."Emmelyn pursed her lips. "My room is ... uhm, I mean the room where you locked me up yesterday. I thought you gave that room to me. I'm going to give birth to your children ... and you have the heart to send me back to the servants' quarter???"Mars massaged his forehead. He didn't know if Emmelyn was really naive, or she just pretended not to know that starting today she would share a room with him since they'll... uhm, keep trying to make babies.He didn't know her enough yet to tell if Emmelyn was naive or pretended not to understand th
When Mars came home in the afternoon, he immediately went to his chamber to see Emmelyn, but he did not find the girl there."Where's Lady Emmelyn?" he asked the butler.The middle-aged man bowed down to Mars and answered. "Lady Emmelyn is sitting reading in her chamber.""HER chamber?" Mars frowned. Ahh ... he just remembered that after catching Emmelyn about to kill him yesterday, he ordered his bodyguards to lock up the girl in a room on the third floor.[Ha. She thought that was her chamber?]Mars crossed his arms across his chest and gave his butler's orders. "Bring Lady Emmelyn here and all her belongings. Starting today, she will stay in my chamber with me."The butler was stunned. He lifted his head and looked at Mars with an astonished face. He was one of the few people in this castle who knew who Emmelyn really was. Emmelyn bribed him three gold coins last month to place her as Prince Mars' personal servant.And it turned ou
Emmelyn took the opportunity after Mars left to make a list of foods she liked. Apparently, she really had no other choice and had to stay in this castle until she gave birth to the three children. Fine. She just had to adapt.With a wave of her hand, she ordered the servants to bring her a parchment and quill. However, it was only after she sat down with parchment and ink in front of her that Emmelyn realized she couldn't write because her right hand was still sore.[Damn .. why did I turn stupid? I can't possibly write.]Emmelyn was surprised at herself. Usually, she was very smart. But why did it seem like her brain refused to work this morning? She forgot that she couldn't use her right hand.Then, how could she write the list of foods she liked?Finally, she decided to come to the kitchen on her own and meet the cooks. Easier to just talk to them, right?As soon as she stepped inside the kitchen that was located at the far end of the ca
Emmelyn had no choice but to obey Mars's words. Besides, she was also hungry, and she hated wasting good food just because she couldn't use her good hand. She opened her mouth and took a bite of meat from the fork the prince was holding.Mars nodded with satisfaction. He cut the meat on Emmelyn's plate into little pieces and fed her some more. After the girl finished the meat on her plate, he then gave her the fruit slices.Emmelyn ate heartily. It couldn't be denied that she had not tasted good food for a long time, so she would not miss the opportunity to enjoy all the food that was served in front of her.***Queen Elara was beaming when she heard reports from the informant she sent to the Crown Prince's castle."So ... they made love passionately last night, huh? What? Everyone in the castle could hear them? Wow! That's amazing! I know my son will not lack in that department," she chuckled and glanced at her husband in a knowing look.Th
Mars immediately ran from his troops and went to find the origin of the scream. He could guess that the sound must come from the girl who spent the night with him.His mind immediately became a mess. He thought something terrible had happened that made Emmelyn scream so hysterically.As soon as he arrived at the door of his chamber, Mars broke the door, thinking that a bad guy was about to kill the mother of his future children.BANG!"What happened? Where are the bad people?" asked Mars with alacrity.He had drawn his sword and immediately cast his gaze around the room. Not seeing anyone else there, he placed his sword on the table and approached Emmelyn, who was sitting on the bed with teary eyes."What happened?" he asked again anxiously.Emmelyn immediately pressed the blanket against her chest when she saw the prince's eyes glancing at her breasts that were exposed.[You pervert!]"I'm going to die!" snapped Emmelyn
WARNING:This chapter contains an explicit mature scene. Please read at your own discretion...That night, Mars slept very well, without the aid of any sleeping potion at all. He also didn't have any nightmares. It was the first time that he had a comfortable and peaceful sleep without interruption.He didn't know if he was "cured" of his curse or if his hard work in the previous night making love to Emmelyn made his body too tired that he just passed out. Whatever that was, he was happy. It was so good to have a nice sleep.When he woke up, he felt very refreshed. When he opened his eyes, Mars felt a soft and warm body lying in his arms. His mind went back to what happened last night, and a smile immediately adorned his lips.Emmelyn snuck her head to his chest while sleeping, and the girl had unwittingly wrapped her arms around Mars's stomach and hugged him tightly.Ahhh ... this position felt very comfortable, Mars thought
