The Royal Mark-Chapter 268: Relax, My Wife
"Relax for now Lexi. Let’s deal with Hoven tomorrow. You have seen how my aunt was and I don’t think we will get a clear answer from her now she will listen to anyone. Go back to your room and rest in the meantime. You too, Rylie. Go back to Kaizer and rest. Thank you girls for today, for taking care of me and Rocco."
When Rylie and Lexi left the room, Elsa quickly checked Rocco, who peacefully slept in his crib, and remembered Chris. Even though they already know why Milda sneaked out from the dining hall tonight, she still can’t tell Chris that she is having suspicions about her. At least not yet, not until he gets back home.
’Are you still awake?’ she called out to Chris.
Chris scoffed and replied, ’Yes. Are you going to hurt me again?’
Elsa giggled clearly knowing what he meant. They were both so aroused earlier that she felt guilty about how he suffered from it afterward. She should have told him right away that she was not in their room instead of letting him continue with his seduction.
’I am so sorry. I promise I’ll make it up to you. It’s just that, my Aunt Milda vanished from the dinner early and I was worried. Lexi wanted to ask Hoven for help but we couldn’t find him too, so that made us more worried.’
’What? Why didn’t you tell me right away? What is happening there? I will go back, wait for–’
’No need. We found them and they are ok. In fact, they were very much ok! Are you aware of how close they are to each other?’ Elsa mentioned.
’Close? What do you mean by that?’ Chris sat up from his bed as Elsa’s question woke up his curiosity.
’Close like in a relationship, but not like lovers... More like friends but more...’ Elsa carefully said to gauge if her husband had an idea of what was going on. Hoven is one of Chris’ most trusted friends and she doesn’t want to instill doubt in his mind since she is also still not sure what is going on between Milda and Hoven.
’Get to the point, my love. What happened to Hoven and Milda? You are killing me with suspense,’ Chris said impatiently.
’Well, we found them in the dungeon head guard’s office, and they... they were... uhm...’ Elsa paced in their room as she struggled to find the right words to say.
’What? Just say it!’ Chris exclaimed startling Elsa from her thoughts.
’They were having sex!!!’ she replied and met with Chris’ silence.
’...’
’Are you still there? If you don’t believe me, Lexi saw it too, you could ask her. Also, my aunt doesn’t seem to care if we know it or not. She even kicked us out to continue what they were doing. Can you believe that?! There was no hint of embarrassment and she was even proud,’ Elsa stated.
’I do believe you. I did suspect that Hoven likes Milda for how he looks at her but never in my mind had I thought that she would give in to him. Hoven is not the kind of man that Milda would want to be her husband. She dreams of grand things in life, something that Hoven would not be able to give to her.
But then, a lot has already changed and who knows? Maybe Milda does like Hoven too. And perhaps she has accepted him for what he is and is not thinking anymore of becoming a Queen or marrying someone with royal blood.’
Elsa sighed since she did not think of that scenario. She is so blinded by her fear that she is doubting Milda’s every move.
’I hope that’s the case. Do you mind if I talk to them tomorrow? I want to clear the awkwardness between us and I also want to know the truth. Love, I still have doubts about Milda and I am sorry if I can’t trust her until now... At least not yet. Hoven is very dear to you and I don’t want him to get hurt.’
’Do what you need to do. You are my Queen and of our kingdom. You have the full authority over our land while I am away. And it’s ok to give Milda the benefit of the doubt, we always have to be careful, so you doing the right thing...’
Elsa smiled and felt proud of how lucky she was to have a husband like Chris. She can still remember how annoyed she was at him when they had their first conversation. She saw him as a pompous, arrogant, and vain man who thinks highly of himself but he had proven her wrong over and over again.
Her reminiscing was disturbed when Chris cleared his throat. ’Ehem, were you listening? Are you still awake?’
Apparently, he was still talking when her mind drifted to their past which made her laugh at how absent-minded she was.
’I miss you...’ Elsa suddenly uttered surprising Chris.
’Wow... But earlier you left me with blue balls and now you are saying that you miss me. How can I believe that?’ Chris teased.
’Well, it’s up to you if you would believe it or not. But I am telling the truth... I really miss you. Please don’t take long and go home as soon as you are done with your mission in Saldivar,’ Elsa pleaded softly as she walked towards the bath chamber.
"Aqua satietatiem," she cast a spell to fill the tub water before dipping her right hand to cast another spell to make it warm before undressing.
’I will, don’t worry. I’ll be back before you know it. What are you doing now anyway?’
’I am removing my clothes, why do you ask?’ she uttered with a smirk and a plan in mind.
’You’re naked? But why?’
’I am going to soak in the tub before I go to sleep. It was a long day and I badly needed something to relax me.’
’I can help you with that. I know a perfect way to make you relax, my wife...’
