Chapter 248: Reading The Story

Seren finally opened the book and neatly spread it across her study table as she got comfortable in her magnificent chair.

It was a story about a beautiful princess who once got lost in the wild forest when she came out with her friends to visit the waterfall, on the hillside. Suddenly a group of rebels attacks them and the Princess runs away from there to save her life as the rebels wanted to kill her to get revenge on the king.

In her attempt of running and saving her life, the Princess escapes without any direction in the forest.? She tries her best to escape and protect herself but alas she still ends up being caught by the rebels.

Blinded by their revenge and not showing any mercy on the poor, delicate princess, the rebels decide to kill her.? Thinking her life is going to end this way, the princess loses all hope but then suddenly a handsome man appears there, who saves her life.

This handsome man was then revealed to be a prince but he didn"t disclose his ident.i.ty to her.

Like a true gentleman, he safely takes her back to her palace.? The princess being extremely thankful to him makes a promise to meet him again.? The prince is actually from the neighboring kingdom, who secretly travels to visit this kingdom.He, therefore, tells her the truth of belonging to the neighboring kingdom, still not disclosing his true ident.i.ty.

The princess expresses her wish to meet him again and the Prince agrees to it.

"He is a good man as he had saved this princess," Seren thought as she looked at the sketches drawn along the written story lines. In the picture, the princess was a pretty woman and the Prince was a handsome and tall man.

"Still, His Majesty is more handsome than this prince," Seren concluded as to her no one could be compared to Drayce.

Once the Prince and the Princess were apart from each other in their own kingdoms, they started missing each other and kept thinking about one another. Their wish and craving to meet each other as soon as possible kept growing with every pa.s.sing day.

"They just met once. Why do they miss each other so much?" Seren"s thought of criticism started as she was devoid of knowing such normal human emotions.

"I sometimes miss His Majesty because I have been with him for a long time now. But why do I even miss him? His Majesty is always in the palace," she frowned at herself but then thought, "But having His Majesty around makes me feel protected. I can"t even fall asleep when His Majesty is not around."

She read further.

The Prince and Princess couldn"t fall asleep as they keep seeing each other in their dreams as they wish to meet each other again. Both of their hearts beat faster at the memory of those moments they spent together when the prince escorted the princess to the palace.

"My heart also doesn"t feel good when I remember the moments when his Majesty is with me. This princess is just like me. But this prince, does His Majesty, feel the same as this prince? Does His Majesty"s heart also doesn"t feel good when he remembers about me?"

She continued reading while trying to relate the princess in this story with herself and Drayce.

One day finally the Prince again returns to Princess" kingdom and manages to sneak into the palace and also in her bedchamber. It surprises the Princess but later she feels happy to see him. The Prince tells her how he missed her and wishes to be with her and the princess says the same thing to him.

Seren could imagine them vividly as along with explaining in writing, there were images too. The Prince and Princess standing by the window while expressing their feelings as the bright moonlight shines in the sky behind them. The two looked happy as they looked into each other"s eyes and held one another"s hand.

Seren turned the next page and there the Prince and the Princess were close as their lips were locked with each other.

"What are they doing?" Seren thought as unknown to her a pink blush covered her face. Feeling a little anxious, she immediately closed the book.

Marie, who was in the room while serving another cup of hot tea to Seren, looked at the flushed face of her Queen. Though the lower half of her face was covered with a veil, her eyes were enough for Marie to understand why her Queen suddenly turned like this.

"What happened, Your Majesty?" Marie asked.

Seren looked at Marie, "N-Nothing."

"If your Majesty wishes to ask something, do not hesitate to do so," Marie offered.

Seren nodded and Marie offered, "Have this tea, Your Majesty. It will help you relax."

Seren accepted it. Having a few sips of the tea she opened the book again. This time Seren was curious to know what the Prince and the Princess were doing.

She continued reading.

[The Prince gazed into the Princess" eyes as he couldn"t bear to be away from her. The princess felt the same which was evident in the way she looked at the Prince. It was the longing she felt for him from all these days.]

[The Prince stepped closer to the Princess while still staring into her eyes and pulled her closer by holding her at the waist as there was no distance left between them. He caressed her cheeks with one hand and leaned his face closer to hers. The princess felt shy as the pink blush covered her delicate skin. The Prince"s eyes were fixed on her delicate rosy lips, he neared his lips towards hers and the next moment the princess felt Prince"s warm lips touching her soft ones.]

[Princess felt her heart beating faster turning her surroundings quiet as if she was a deaf person as all she could focus on was the gentle and warm sensation she felt on her lips.]

Seren stopped reading as she remembered when Drayce did the same with her. She could still feel that soft and warm touch on her lips and subconsciously touched her own lips over the veil. Seren felt her heart picking up the pace just by remembering it and found herself feeling exactly what the princess in the book was feeling.

She read further and the next picture didn"t just show the lips of two people touching gently each other but it was more.

It looked like the Prince was tasting the princess"s lips like it was something tasty to eat for and it even showed their tongues peeking out of their mouths. Though it looked weird to her, she felt curious and wanted to read more. Just like any normal human being, the curious instinct to such things had started to fill her mind and she continued reading further the part which explained this picture as her heart started to continue picking up the pace.

[The Prince found Princess"s delicate lips the most delicious thing as he sucked and nibbled her lips. The Princess didn"t stop the prince as she circled her hands around his neck and tiptoed to comfortably kiss him back. The Prince pry opened the princess"s lips as he slid his tongue in her cavern and the Princess welcomed it. Both of their tongues rolled in sync as the two immersed themselves into an entirely different world. Both of their hearts were beating faster as their breathing turned heavy. As the carnal desires tried to take over them, the Prince stopped before he could do something that he should not.]

"Why did he stop?" Seren mumbled with a light frown.

Marie heard her Queen had said something and asked, "Yes, Your Majesty?"

"Nothing. I was talking to myself," Seren replied feeling disappointed over why the prince had stopped. While reading she could feel, she liked to read it and then remembered she too felt the same when Drayce was close to her.

She remembered Drayce"s words when they were on the boat and what he said about doing with her lips. "I want to taste these lips. I want to suck them and bite them till they get swollen and turn red. I want to taste your tongue till it goes numb."

Remembering these words, Seren felt her heart was not in her control and she felt strange. "Will I feel the same as this Princess when His Majesty….?" she couldn"t come up to think any further.

Seren looked at Marie who was standing silently to the one side. "Marie!"

Marie looked at her attentively, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Does your husband touch your lips?" Seren asked straightforwardly as Marie was the one who offered to answer if Seren had any queries.

Cough! Cough!

"Why do you ask, Your Majesty?" Marie asked, evidently embarra.s.sed.

Seren put the book in front of her that showed the picture of the Prince and the Princess in the story, who were indulged in an intimate pa.s.sionate kiss.

Marie had read such books too and she knew why Seren was asking this question. Her face turned red but she had to answer her Queen. "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Do you like it?" Seren asked again.

"Y-Yes, Your Majesty," Marie answered hesitantly. Under the name of helping her Queen, her own private matters were getting disclosed.

"What do you do then?" Seren asked, not knowing she was burying poor Marie under the mountain of embarra.s.sment.

"I-I do the same?"

"Hmm!"

Seren then looked back in the book and realized something, "Is it why His Majesty insists on removing the veil from my face? Is His Majesty intent to do the same as he had said before?" Will it feel good?" She gave an approving nod and thought, "It really felt good. His Majesty has such beautiful lips that I can"t stop staring at them and wanting to touch them. I wonder how it will feel when…..wait….I can"t remove this veil." Seren frowned at the veil and again looked at Marie.

"Marie, is it necessary to do this?" Seren asked.

"Huh?" This was sudden for Marie. In her opinion, it was not even something to ask about but the innocent Queen needed to get an explanation.

"Your Majesty, this is a way to show love and affection towards each other," Marie replied.

"Love and affection?" Seren thought and resumed reading that book.
