Episode 129. My Body Has Cooled
The carriage that entered the palace stopped at the Marvel Palace.
When the servant opened the carriage door, an old lady greeted Adele politely. Judging from the fact that it was her first time seeing her, she didn’t seem to be a noble from the capital. That was fortunate. Rumors about Adele would spread a little later.
“I’m meeting Countess Grylls. Please come this way.”
The lady, who introduced herself as Viscountess Marilla, guided Adele to the second floor. To the very bedroom she used to use.
All the furniture that had been covered in white cloth until recently had been polished to a shine, and the bedding had been replaced with new ones. Then the fireplace was burning, and a red rose was placed in the middle of the bed in the shape of a heart.
Not only that, but the entire place was decorated with candles and flowers...
Could it be that Zimmer had ordered it? He was a flower lover.
“His Majesty?”
“You must first take off everything you are wearing.”
“Take it off?”
“Because you might have something harmful to His Majesty.”
Adele was astonished. Was Christine an ordinary person? Even if she had something harmful, she wouldn’t be able to harm even one of his fingers.
“Someone like me wouldn’t be able to harm him.”
But Marilla stared at Adele with a stubborn gaze.
“Even the strongest people can be helpless in bed. Furthermore, the Countess’s husband is imprisoned on suspicion of treason. This is for His Majesty’s safety, so please cooperate.”
Adele was astonished. It was unfair that Mark was falsely accused of treason, and now she is being treated the same way. Who would be the most shocked and worried if something happened to Christine?
Of course, he wouldn’t believe it.
“Is this something His Majesty ordered?”
“It’s the law of the palace. Please follow it.”
“I forgot. The person I’m meeting tonight is His Majesty the Emperor.”
Adele smiled bitterly and took off her outer garments one by one.
“I’ll do it, so you go out.”
Adele turned around in surprise at Christine’s voice. He had been leaning against the door with a wine glass in his hand for some time.
Marilla quickly bowed her head in greeting when she saw the Emperor and left the bedroom.
Step by step.
He approached with a leisurely gait and sat down leisurely on the red velvet chair in front of the table.
The sight of him wearing a black linen shirt and pants and holding a wine glass reminded her of the past. So Adele felt like she had gone back to the time when she lived in the Marvel Palace. They used to sit across from each other on that chair and drink wine together.
“What are you doing? Take off your clothes.”
However, when she heard the cold voice, Adele scolded herself for being sentimental for a moment.
He was now only the Emperor of an occupied country.
“Your Majesty, I can’t do you any harm.”
Adele was currently wearing a thin silk chemise. Just being in front of him hurt her pride.
“No matter how much I am an Emperor, I need to be careful of an assassin in bed.”
He put down the wine glass he was holding and grabbed Adele’s wrist. As she staggered and was dragged, he reached into her skirt without hesitation.
“Oh, what!”
Adele tried to step back in embarrassment, but he was quicker to grab her thigh by lifting up her skirt. Then he smiled strangely.
“You really are an interesting woman, Adele.”
“...!”
“Shhh... Don’t move. It’s dangerous.”
He whispered and carefully felt Adele’s leg. He soon pulled out his hand from under her skirt and found a pistol in his hand. Adele always hid her pistol in her garter.
“If you came to see the Emperor hiding something like this, I don’t think you’d have anything to say if you were arrested as a murderer.”
“I see. Then I’ll give it back to you, Your Majesty.”
“You’ll give it back to me...?”
“Because it’s a gift from Your Majesty.”
He told her to protect herself.
He put everything he gave her in a box and locked it, but he always carried that one with him. It was often used in a very useful way, like today. She thought he was guarding it for her.
But he forgot all about that.
“I can’t take it away. Take it with you when you leave.”
“What if I shoot you?”
Christine, who was putting the pistol on the table, chuckled.
“It doesn’t have bullets.”
Adele always carried it only as a threat and never actually loaded it. It was terrible if someone got hurt in an accident.
“Now then, I wonder what you’re hiding this time.”
“You’re scared, Your Majesty.”
“I',m curious.”
“Unfortunately, there’s nothing more.”
“Prove it.”
“Yes?”
“You mean take off all of it?”
“...!”
Adele flinched involuntarily at his oppressive atmosphere and tone.
“You wouldn’t have come all the way here unprepared to take off your clothes, would you?”
“I forgot. Who is the person in front of me?”
“Yes, the shameless tyrant Emperor.”
“Then promise me. You’ll release Mark tomorrow.”
Christine’s face formed involuntarily.
Damn Mark, Mark again!
He had hoped she would come here, but at the same time, he had hoped she wouldn’t. He knew she wasn’t here to meet him, but to save Mark.
The more he thought about it, the sharper his gaze became, as if it would hurt Adele.
“If you don’t give up, Aaron, I remember that it’s a condition for giving birth to my successor, right?”
Adele shook her head firmly.
“No, release him tomorrow!”
Christine twisted one side of his lips and smiled.
“Don’t you have too few cards to negotiate?”
“Even so?”
Adele pulled out the long pin that held her hair up. The soft, silky hair fell down onto her shoulders.
At the same time, Adele aimed the pin at her neck. The sharp tip seemed ready to dig into her soft nape at any moment.
“What are you doing?”
Crunch!
Christine, startled, stood up violently from his chair, and the wine glass on the table fell to the floor and shattered. The red wine soaked the carpet like blood, but he did not take his eyes off Adele.
Adele’s eyes felt cold for some reason as she looked at his frozen expression.
Has he not completely erased me yet?
Is there still hope?
“If I die, you won’t be able to hold a woman, let alone your successor, right?”
“Put that down right now, Adele.”
“Why are you scared? Are you afraid that you’ll die without holding a woman?”
“Adele, we can’t negotiate like this. Put it down and let’s talk again.”
Christine’s voice was calm. But he seemed to be trying not to provoke her.
It was clear that he was worried that he might be wrong.
Adele now felt like she had taken the initiative in the negotiation.
“You promise to release Mark tomorrow. Of course, I will keep my promise to you.”
“I promise. So give it to me.”
Adele obediently placed the pin on his outstretched palm. He threw it hard into the blazing fireplace.
Whoosh!
The precious pin decorated with rubies disappeared into the flames in an instant.
But Adele was satisfied because she had saved Mark.
Of course, she was afraid of being alone with the angry beast.
But he thought that she might get angry and attack him fiercely, so he put a chair in front of Adele.
“Sit down for now, Adele.”
When she reluctantly sat down, he... bent down and picked up the shards of the broken wine glass. Adele was taken aback by the unexpected action.
“What are you doing?”
“You see. This time, it’s not good to threaten with this.”
Adele couldn’t take her eyes off him as he picked up the shards of the broken wine glass.
If it had been him before... he would have done this because he was afraid of her getting stabbed or hurt by the glass. Could it be that he still feels that way? I wish he had...
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
He raised his head as if he sensed Adele’s gaze.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”
He raised his head as if he sensed Adele’s gaze.
“For a moment, you looked like someone I knew.”
“The guy you knew must have been a fool. That’s what I feel now.”
Adele smiled bitterly.
“I... liked you like that.”
Christine got up and approached Adele. Her long hair and chemise overlapped with the afterimages of the past. She was seductive yet innocent, alluring yet innocent. And the lover who wanted him more passionately than anyone else in bed.
He ran his fingers through Adele’s hair. His hand naturally came down, untied the ribbon that was holding her neckline together, and slowly pulled down the voluminous sleeves below her shoulders. As soon as her dazzling white skin was revealed, Adele, who was flustered, quickly covered her chest with both hands. When he grabbed her chin and made her look at him, her flushed cheeks and green eyes trembled and became moist.
“...!”
In that moment, pain came to Christine’s heart. As if it were a warning to stay away from her.
The more he did it, the more he wanted it. It was so much that his heart would burst and die.
Unable to hold it in, he covered her face and pressed his lips against hers.
However, he only gently touched her soft skin.
His gums were itchy, and his breathing became ragged, but he endured it with patience.
Otherwise, she would surely hurt and injure her. He felt Adele’s body tremble as her lips touched his. That slight movement stimulated him even more.
Like a frightened, weak animal.
When he gently pulled away,
“Chris...”
Her breath calling his name was hot.
That alone made the neat lady instantly become like a seductive temptress.
Christine thought he knew why he had fallen for this woman so much.
His mouth naturally watered because he seemed so soft and sweet.
He wanted to go wild like this. He didn’t care if she was ruined or not. He wanted to rush in and have her without hesitation until he forgot the pain in his heart.
“It’s late, so rest.”
But he took a step back. Of course, it took superhuman patience.
“Why...?”
He coldly muttered as he watched her, who was at a loss for what else to say.
“My body has cooled down after seeing what you’re doing.”
“...!”
“Of course, Mark will be released tomorrow morning as promised. Instead, you will now stay at the Marvel Palace.”
“How can there be such a law!”
Adele protested, but Christine only laughed softly.
“Adele, I am the law here. Remember that you owe me until you give birth to an heir.”
“Aaron still needs a mother!”
“Of course, you can bring Aaron if you want. I need him until you give birth to an heir.”
With that, Christine left the bedroom.
“Haa!”
Adele relaxed and collapsed on the bed.
Bad boy!
But when she thought about it, he had given Adele everything she wanted.
Mark was released, and she and Aaron were to live with Christine. The expression on her face, surprised that she might get hurt, was no different from before.
But why did he say such mean things as if he were biting a knife?
Left alone, Adele felt helpless, the strong scent of flowers and candles somehow empty.
Chris, did I want to be with you a little bit?
The more he did it, the more he wanted it. It was so much that his heart would burst and die.
Unable to hold it in, he covered her face and pressed his lips against hers.
However, he only gently touched her soft skin.
