TBDNS - Chapter 62





Episode 62. I'm tempting you now


Christine came home in the evening, and Adele came running to greet him.

Her face was brighter than usual.

"Is something good happening?"

"Mia was here a little while ago."

"Oh, today. Yes."

Christine nodded, looking slightly upset.

Adele had tried to look the same as usual for the past few days, but there were times when her eyes looked gloomy. But now, she looked very happy.

Was it because she met Mia?

"Are you that happy to meet her ?"

"Are you jealous ?"

"Oh, no way. "

"Mia is pregnant. "

"That's something to celebrate."

"So, I'm going to go downtown to buy gifts and other things. It's your day off tomorrow. Do you want to go together?"

Adele asked, linking her arms gently.

Of course, buying Mia's gift was an excuse, and she wanted to go on a date with him.

Lately, he's been busy and barely had a day off. There were days when they couldn’t eat together because he came home too late.

So she wanted to go downtown and enjoy some cozy time together. She wanted to go shopping together, drink tea with people, watch a show, and walk in the park.

“What should I do? I think tomorrow will be a bit busy.”

Adele was disappointed, but she pretended not to care.

“I can go with Tanya, so it’ll be okay. By the way, aren’t you overworking yourself? If you collapse...”

He kissed her forehead because he thought Adele was cute and pretty, who was worried about him.

“Don’t worry, Adele.”

“Still, think about your health while working. And if we’re going to have a child now...”

“A child?”

When Christine stopped walking and looked at her, Adele became a little shy.

“Yeah, I was a little jealous when I heard that Mia was pregnant. We’ll have a child soon, right?”

“Well.”

Adele glared at him.

“What’s with that indifferent answer?”

Christine eventually carefully released Adele’s arm.

“Adele, you want a child so badly?”

“Then you don’t want a child?”

Adele’s green eyes wavered with some inexplicable anxiety.

Christine gently caressed her cheek.

“Of course, I want one too. But let’s think about having a child slowly. I still want to have more time for just the two of us.”

It was such an unexpected reaction. She thought he wanted a child as much as she wanted one.

Adele tried to persuade him, hiding her disappointment.

“It’s good to have time together as two, but wouldn’t it be better if there were three? I’ve always envied that family that would gather around and make a fuss when there was a village event. They would fight and criticize each other, but when something happened, they would stick together and take each other’s side. I was always alone, and my mother was busy. Weren’t you lonely like me?”

“Adele.”

“That’s why I was so happy when my parents told me they were remarrying.”

“You were happy?”

Christine raised her eyebrows.

“Yeah.”

“I was terrible.”

“Why?”

He looked dumbfounded.

“Because we’re going to be siblings.”

“Ah... that’s true.”

When Adele muttered as if she had finally realized it, he clicked his tongue in pity.

“So you really had no feelings back then?”

“Of course. You were just my younger sibling.”

“Ha, and you even took my first kiss away?”

“I said it was artificial respiration!”

“What are you talking about? You were disguising artificial respiration as a mean thing...”

“Don’t frame me!”

Adele covered his mouth so that no one would hear. Christine pulled her hand away and raised his voice as if teasing.

“You’re the neighborhood older sister who has no feelings, and yet you kissed your innocent younger sibling so lewdly...”

“You idiot! You liar! You there!”

When Christine ran away, Adele screamed and ran up the stairs.

“You two are so full of energy today, too.”

Zimmer muttered, clicking his tongue. Tanya, who was behind him, nodded.

“You wouldn’t have gone straight to the bedroom, would you?”

“If you’re jealous, you lose.”

“I lost a long time ago.”

Tanya, who had been mumbling without realizing it, looked at Zimmer in surprise.

“Ahem!”

When their eyes met, Zimmer also felt embarrassed and turned his head away, coughing in vain.

However, even the nape of his neck was red.

***

Christine closed his eyes and immersed herself in the bathtub until he was completely submerged.

This was the time he liked the most, aside from being with Adele. Being submerged in water like this made him insensitive to sounds and smells, so he relaxed and his whole body became drowsy.

Their child...

Of course, he wanted it more than anyone else.

Moreover, it was the breeding season.

How cute would it be if a girl with green eyes like Adele were born?

A boy who resembled him... It might not be fun, but it was also a kind of anticipation.

In fact, the more children, the better. Just imagining the little ones running around the garden made his heart flutter and his mouth turn up.

'But what if that child is born in the form of a wolf?'

He wouldn't be able to hide his identity any longer.

Besides, Adele might hate Christine and the child and be terrified of them.

So no matter what, he couldn't have a child yet...

"...!"

Christine sensed the presence and quickly got up from the water.

Swish!

“Surprise!”

Adele screamed in surprise.

She was in the water, so he didn’t even notice her entering the bathroom.

If he had let his guard down and turned into a wolf...

“What are you doing there?”

A sharp voice came out without him knowing.

Adele, who was standing in front of the bathroom door, pouted in bewilderment.

“Don’t treat me like a pervert. I came in to give you a change of clothes.”

As Adele quickly put his clothes on the console and was about to leave, Christine came out of the bathtub.

Shook, slosh. The sound of wet footsteps came closer. Adele turned her head away, but just from that sound, she could tell how close he was. The familiar body odor mixed with the scent of the bath salts was also getting stronger.

“Keep on, why are you coming out?”

“I’m done.”

“Then get dressed quickly. You’re catching a cold.” 

She quickly picked up his clothes that were on the console and handed them to him. Of course, she turned her head to the side and closed her eyes.

“That’s right.”

“Then I’ll go.”

As he took the clothes, Adele kept turning her head and trying to leave with her eyes closed.

“Adele, be careful...!”

Kong!

In the end, she ended up hitting her forehead on the door frame.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah.”

However, Adele sat down and rubbed her forehead because it hurt quite a bit. Christine found that cute and mischievous.

“If you want to see it so badly, just look at it.”

Adele turned around in a fit of anger.

“Oh my, what are you talking about? Who the hell wanted to see you? I came in!”

At that moment, Adele... saw it.

“Oh my, I meant to see my face.”

“Oh, beast!”

Now that she had confessed, it was the first time Adele had properly seen his naked body.

When they made love, Christine always made the surroundings dark. She would turn off all the lights in the bedroom or draw the curtains to make it dark, even in broad daylight.

Adele thought that was just being considerate of her, who was embarrassed. So she couldn’t complain. But honestly, she was curious. Everything about the person she was making love to.

'But it was something so incredible...'

The thing that was vividly engraved in her mind seemed like a completely separate life form from the beautiful and elegant Christine. But why was her heart pounding like this?

Meanwhile, Christine was dumbfounded.

"What is this reaction? After spending so many nights with .e?"

"I, I don't know! I'm going out! "

Adele, who had been turning around in a hurry, bumped into the door frame again. Christine couldn't laugh anymore, so he quickly put on his robe and approached. 

"Look. If you keep doing this, your forehead will disappear." 

One side of her white forehead was red and swollen. When he rubbed it carefully, Adele made a cute grumble. 

"Eww, it hurts..." 

She knew too. This wasn't her original character. It was a very creepy and slurred sound. But it came out naturally in front of him. It was possible because she had the absolute belief that he would love her no matter what she did. As expected, he blew into her mouth and pulled her arm. 

“Let’s go. I’ll put some medicine on you.” 

At that moment, Adele hesitated and then mustered up her courage. 

“I have a more effective treatment than that.”

Ugh, such a buttery line!

The area behind her ears burned with embarrassment.

But the moment her eyes met Christine’s, she decided to keep going straight.

Adele hung on his neck and whispered sweetly into his lips,

“I’m seducing you right now.”

I don’t know. Is this the right thing to do in this situation? How far can I go?

However, desire is not exclusive to men, and Adele wanted to have a child who resembled him.

If they did have a child, he would definitely like it. Because they loved each other like this.
 
***

The next morning.

“I’ll be back. Adele.”

Adele lifted her heavy eyelids at Christine’s voice whispering in her sleep.

It was dawn, when the outside of the window was still covered in blue darkness.

“Already? Are you asleep?”

“I have something urgent to take care of.”

“Isn’t His Majesty working you too hard? If you collapse...”

Christine laughed, gently ruffling Adele’s bangs.

“Don’t worry about me and sleep soundly.”

As if it were a spell, Adele fell into a deep sleep again.
 
A few hours later.

“Are you going to sleep on?”

“Uh, Tanya, what time is it?” 

“Ten o’clock.”

“I overslept.”

Adele rubbed her eyes and sat up. Several maids came in behind Tanya with dresses to change into and water to wash with.

“If you’re tired, just sleep on.”

“No, we’re going to buy Mia a present today.”

“How about talking to the head maid before that?”

“Talk to the head maid?”

“She’s a midwife in her family. She’s been a midwife for a while. She might be able to give you some advice on having a baby.”

“Not to that extent.”

“Well, since you two are so close, I’m sure you’ll hear good news soon.”

The other maids who were serving Adele also nodded with blushes. All the servants in the Marvel Palace pretended not to notice, but they knew how hot the two of them were.

“I’ll change your clothes, so you all can go out.”

Adele said calmly, but she felt awkward for no reason.

“Yes, then.”

“Wait, Tanya!”

Adele called out to Tanya, who was about to leave with the maids.

“Well, since you’re thinking so much about it, I’ll go see the head maid.” 

***

The head maid was about the same age as the butler, Henry. However, their personalities were complete opposites. If Henry was easygoing, polite, and gentle, she was...

“Henry, that raccoon-like old man!”

In a word, she was cheerful, aggressive, and hearty.

She was called before Adele and grumbled, clicking her tongue as if something was wrong.

“What happened with Henry?”

“No, I gave him some oysters to eat all by himself, but he shared them with everyone else.”

“Oysters? Those squishy shellfish?”

“You should definitely feed your master some too. Oysters are very good for a man’s stamina.”

Oysters...

In that case, she absolutely must not feed them to him.

“But the reason you gave Henry some oysters was because of you two...?”

The maid laughed heartily.

“Oh, what are you talking about! That old man’s pale face looks like he’ll collapse at any moment. Who would suffer the most if he were to be buried?”

Then she gulped down her tea as if her throat was burning. Even her hearty nature was a woman.

Adele quietly laughed, refilled her empty teacup, and handed her a plate of cake.

“I heard you used to be a midwife. Then, do you know how to have a baby quickly?”

“How to have a baby quickly?”

“That... I mean, it’s not like I won’t have a baby, but if I’m going to have one... It’s better to have one quickly. Neither I nor the Count is too young...”

Adele felt embarrassed and continued talking.

However, the maid’s expression darkened as she listened.

“How about having a baby after discussing it thoroughly?”

“What do you mean?”

“Master, his thoughts may differ.”

Those words somehow seemed to bring back to the surface the anxiety that had been deeply buried.

“Are you saying he... doesn’t want it?”
