RAMHM - Chapter 132 < Bath time >



Rhodnes' thick Adam's apple gurgled loudly.

He followed me into the bathroom.

In the middle of a huge bath made of mysteriously sparkling stone, hot springs gushed out, filling the space with white steam.

Without hesitation, Rhodnes took off his top and lowered it.

The angry muscles that had been fighting fiercely until just now twitched, and the body of a huge man, like a flawless statue, entered the bathroom.

Beautiful red eyes stared at me as if waiting for me through the white steam.

The eyes began to flicker like those of a predator scanning a herbivore just before it was about to eat it.

“I don’t want you to suffer. You don’t have to wash me while smelling blood, Rien.”

The kind mouth, in stark contrast to the yearning eyes, expressed its opinion.

I paused for a moment, then quickly took off the dress I was wearing because I felt embarrassed.

The light indoor dress was easy enough to take off on my own, so the clothes that came off like a husk just fell to my feet.

I saw Rhodnes bite his lip as he tried to add something.

After confirming once again that his Adam's apple was quivering, I approached him wearing only a white inner dress.

“My lover talks a lot.”

“!”

Rhodnes flinched greatly at the word lover.

I sat with my buttocks at the end of the bathtub and dipped my hands into the hot water.

The water containing the medicinal herbs that cleanse the body drew the blood of the monster from Rhodnes' body and gave off a faint scent of blood.

The special bathhouse was equipped with a system to purify itself, so the water, which had turned a light pink color, became clearer over time as it changed into clean water.

As I gently rubbed the remaining blood from his broad, strong shoulder with my wet hand, Rhodnes groaned inside.

“Rien. Enough with the jokes.”

“I’m helping you get clean. Shouldn’t you compliment me?”

“...”

He groaned and closed his mouth again.

When the water was completely clear, I dissolved some bath salts into it, lathered it up, and rubbed it on his shoulders.

As I was silently concentrating on it, Rhodnes, who had been staring at me with a slightly disgruntled expression, lightly splashed water on me.

“You’re the one playing the joke, Roan!”

I thought you'd just say sorry right away like usual.

Rhodnes's gaze moved from my frowning eyes due to the splashed water droplets to my cheeks and then to the nape of my neck.

His gaze, which had been following the trajectory of the water droplet as it flowed, darkened as the water droplet fell in front of me.

I swallowed dry saliva as the tension suddenly became taut and continued what I was doing.

Rhodnes, who had been gritting his teeth and holding on, grabbed my hand by the chin as I was reapplying the foam on his shoulder.

"Ah!"

My body was plunged into a huge bathtub filled with bath salts.

“Roan!”

I couldn't continue talking any longer.

The hot, wet lips of Rhodnes went straight to my front, exposed to the air.

When the breath that moved against the trajectory left by the fallen water droplets passed over the back of my neck and licked my cheek, I had to shiver at the thrill that went through my spine.

“I told you last time not to provoke me.”

At the end of the deep, locked voice, lips filled with greed bit my lips and began to chew and swallow them right away.

Before I knew it, Rhodnes was sitting on the edge of the bathtub, embracing me.

Every time I stroked Rhodnes's chest, his groaning sounds spread out from my mouth.

Every time he groped me and explored my lips, bubbles and hot water sloshed around.

When the sweltering heat between our rubbing bodies reached its peak, I barely managed to push away his naked chest and gasp.

The dark, sunken red eyes were glaring at my wet lips with a gaze dripping with longing.

“Roan.”

“You don’t have to do this to me, Adrienne.”

I was suddenly feeling dissatisfied that all the hard work I had put in was going to waste, but then I felt his hand supporting my back grab my loose shoulder strap, and pull it down.

As I froze in surprise, Rhodnes's reddened eyes gently curved.

It was a look that seemed a bit sinister as if trying to hide his eyes that were beginning to blink.

“You said you wanted to wash in the bathroom when you went to Elacon.”

"What?"

“Your faithful servant had no intention of leaving his master to wash alone.”

“What are you talking about now?”

“I’ll be the one taking your bath, not you.”

The body suddenly rose as the last sound was a low, chewing voice.

Rhodnes, who had me sit on the edge of the bathtub, cut through the water and came over to me without hesitation, biting my knee where my skirt was rolled up.

The tingling sensation sent shivers down my spine.

I grabbed his wet, blond hair urgently, twisted it, and tilted my head up toward the ceiling.

The beautiful night sky was clearly visible through the large windows on the ceiling for guests, but there was no time to enjoy the view.

As the moist, hot mass of flesh began to greedily nibble and bite my inner thighs, I shook my head and blocked his entry with both hands. It was a reaction to excessive stimulation.

He chuckled softly.

As his breath poured down to the inside of my thighs, goosebumps appeared on my ears.

Unlike in his office where I had not properly recognized my desires, my body, which had learned the great desires, heated up surprisingly quickly.

The tips of his lips, which had been chewed and swallowed all the way down to the innermost thigh, drew a pleasing curve, and his intense red eyes as if glaring, sweetly curved towards me.

“I’ll clean it up for you, Rien.”

“Roan...”

“With my mouth.”

I bit my lips hard and forgot to breathe as the intense desire washed over me like a tidal wave.

Hot. Chilling.

Two words that could never coexist mercilessly pierced my mind and turned it into a mess.

When tears welled up in my eyes, the thrill that started from his lips spread like wildfire from head to toe, burning everything.

I had the illusion that the stars twinkling in the ceiling were pouring down on me like rain.

***

I've never been in a bath for so long in my life.

Just thinking about last night with Rhodnes made me feel dizzy, until my hands and feet were swollen and about to burst.

I had to eat a big breakfast to survive, thanks to Rhodnes, who had been letting out all the anger he had been holding back until the sun rose brightly in the morning.

During my stay here, Rhodnes had the most sparkling face and his honey-dripping gaze fell on me every time I put bread in my mouth.

Those eyes were so blatant that Canula had to hear a scolding, "You should stop making such a crazy face when you're going to the capital to do important work."

Of course, the blushing embarrassment was my part.

“I hope you got some sleep. The maids of the Crown Princess personally escorted her out of the castle in a carriage. Don’t worry too much. ...The Second Prince’s notoriety is quite useful in times like these, so she won’t be able to say anything nonsense.”

On the way out to see off Rhodnes, Neil kept muttering to me.

The face on which I stood seemed to believe that I was losing sleep over the erratic behavior of Doris's maids, and she seemed quite loyal to me.

Rhodnes, who was fed up with the sight of Neil whispering to me like a traitor, immediately put on his armor and left the mansion. He hit Neil's Achilles heel and sent him away.

Neil glanced at Rhodnes so that only I could see him and then ran away to Vincenzo.

“Rien.”

In front of the huge steed, Rhodnes called me over and quickly kissed my forehead.

The hand stroking my shoulders was firm as if it was holding back the desire to hug me. It was an action of holding back for me, who was always conscious of the eyes of those around me.

“I already miss you, what should I do?”

A sweet breath wafted into my ear.

In a moment of overwhelming emotion, I forgot about my surroundings and hugged him.

The waist wrapped around my arms was thick, and the chest touching my cheek was cold.

It was because he was wearing thick and tough armor. It was clear to his skin that the capital he was going to was no different from another battlefield.

Rhodnes, who flinched for a moment at my sudden hug, laughed softly. When I listened to his chest, which was vibrating slightly, I could hear the pleasant sound of his heart beating loudly.

My heart, which only I could hear, was beating fast.

“Be careful, Roan. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Rather than saying something like that, it would be better if you just said you loved me.”

The corners of his lips turned up sharply, expressing a slight sense of regret.

I pursed my lips, then backed away from him as I heard the sound of Canula slowly approaching us.

“I love you, Rien.”

As I took a step away, his voice flowed out as lightly as the wind.

The soft voice brushed past my ears, causing them to turn red, so I covered my ears.

“Roan, don't worry about this one. I'll be ready to rise up the moment the Emperor doesn't officially recognize you as Crown Prince.”

“Saying something only a rebel would say. Since you came as an uninvited guest, please don’t bother her.”

“Oh, oh, oh, look at that talking example!”

“See you in the capital.”

Rhodnes chuckled and jumped onto his horse.

“Ephero, please take care of her.”

“Brother. It is Madam  who must assist me.”

As Rhodnes, who lightly ignored Ephero's loud voice, turned his horse's head in the opposite direction of the mansion, the two knights' horses, who had finished their preparations, all turned their heads in the same direction.

“Just wait a moment.”

Rien.

“Rine,” said Rhodnes, who had only recited it with his lips, and with a hardened face, he tapped the horse’s flank with his heel.

The flags symbolizing the Second Prince Rhodnes fluttered on either side of him.

Rhodnes looked back at me for a moment, then hid his regret and rode away.

As the remaining people watched them move away and become dots, we turned around and tried to enter the mansion.

“Damn, the old man came just in time.”

The ornate cane was tapped hard on the floor, and the sound of Canula's teeth gnashing could be heard.

From a distance, a pure white carriage was speeding towards us.

Likewise, knights wearing pure white cloaks approached the carriage in unison.

In front of the white carriage door that suddenly stopped, kicking up dust, white-cloaked knights lined up on both sides, drawing their swords toward the sky.

The carriage door flew open, and a man wearing a tall hat poured out.

As soon as he discovered Canula, a man as hard as a stone hurriedly threw down his robe and ran towards her.

“Your Eminence!”

The High Priest, Teln, had actually come to this barren and tiny territory in person.

***

As the matter was important, the High Priest Teln, Canula, and Ephero entered a separate reception room.

Canula must have been contacted early because the temple had already prepared a cup of the bitter tea often served there.

None of us touched the tea, but only Teln, with a nervous look on his face, kept sipping it.

“I have heard some very disgusting news, Your Eminence. Rumor has it that you have been solicited and manipulated for the divine oracle!”

Boom-!

Teln's teacup landed on its stand as if it had fallen.

Teln, holding both hands together, smiled with a troubled expression.

“Well, Marchioness. I don’t know where you heard it from or what you heard, but I swear to God that I will never...”

“I’ve already found out everything! How much money have I poured into the temple? It’s not right to trample on the kindness of Canula Winster, who was responsible for your poor childhood!”

“You misunderstand!”

“Your Eminence, then does that mean that you have never received donations from Noura Giuseppe and have never met with Her Highness the Crown Princess?”

I suddenly intervened in the middle.

As soon as I finished speaking, Teln became dumbfounded. His slightly trembling chin was telling the truth.

“Speak clearly, Your Eminence, if you do not wish to spit out all the donations I have made over the past several decades.”

Canula spat it out with ferocious force.

All the color drained from Teln's face.
