Chapter 139
And so, Nicoletta returned home.
How much better would it have been if things had ended there?
A fledgling who has lost its parents is pitiable beyond words, but even if she had to tread carefully, it was still better to stay in her own home.
“So, it has come to this in the end.”
But that night, Nicoletta returned, half-mad, slung over the back of the warrior assigned as her escort.
Watching the scene unfold, Siren swallowed her bitterness and ordered a room to be prepared for her.
“Leave her be until she calms down. Just make sure she eats.”
“Yes, madam!”
There was no helping it. She had expected this… but that didn’t make it any less tragic.
Nicoletta’s wrist dangled limply as she was all but carried inside. As Siren watched, Yasamin approached and wrapped an arm around her.
“Don’t let it weigh on you too much, darling.”
“Mm.”
“If she wanted to return home, they probably told her to act as a spy first. That’s why she’s pretending to have lost her mind.”
“…….”
It wasn’t a thought that hadn’t crossed her mind.
Siren turned her head in silence and met his gaze. Yasamin’s lips were twisted in a bitter smirk, and his green eyes were filled with loathing.
“Let’s wait and see what choice she makes.”
“Yes, for now, let’s just watch.”
Wasn’t that what made humans so fascinating?
There are many temptations, but in the end, it is the individual who chooses which apple to bite into.
A god merely observes.
Feeling Yasamin’s warmth, Siren thought of the South.
When would she be able to finish things here and return there?
“Sey, what are you thinking about?”
The arm around her waist tightened. As if he didn’t like that her thoughts were elsewhere, his grip was almost pleading.
“Nothing much. Just wondering if the South is doing well.”
“I’m sure it is. The land is the same no matter where you go.”
“I meant the people. You know that.”
At her slight frown, Yasamin scoffed.
“Don’t know. Right now, just look at me. It’s been too long since we last did anything.”
“Oh dear… looks like someone’s in heat.”
The weight pressing between her thighs was unmistakable.
She let him rub against her, finding the motion oddly endearing, and when he impatiently buried his lips against the nape of her neck…
Well, it was honestly rather adorable.
She couldn’t exactly deny it.
‘In the end, I always end up losing to this man.’
As Siren turned and wrapped her arms around his neck, the man grinned and lifted her into his arms.
It was the beginning of a fevered night.
While the couple’s bed trembled violently—
Unnoticed by all, a colorless, odorless poison slowly seeped into the waterways.
The only sound drifting between the cries of the grass bugs was a faint gurgling.
The servants, having finished their task, swiftly disappeared, leaving only the water to flow indifferently.
Poured at the farthest end of the waterway leading to the royal palace, it would, in time, reach deep inside—right to the throats of the king and queen.
Even now, within the palace, they were diligently generating fresh water.
A fact no one knew.
Sometimes, it’s better to do it in the morning than at night when tired.
The body, still drowsy and languid from sleep, is softer, more pliant.
At times like that, just a slight touch is enough to make it wet, making it easy to slide right in.
With such indecent thoughts, Yasamin climbed atop his wife, who was lying fast asleep on her stomach.
This time, softer than at night, with a gentle and tender mood.
“Ahk…!”
As his thick e******n slid in deeply, Sei trembled. Her moan was so sweet that he peppered her nape and ears with small kisses, making the shudder spread down her spine.
Creak.
With his hands braced against the mattress, he moved his hips, causing a lewd sound to fill the room.
At first, still lost in sleep, Sei eventually surrendered to the pleasure pounding up from below.
In truth, there was nothing she needed to do.
All she had to do was stay still, and the pleasure would come to her on its own.
“Your Highness, are you awake? I believe you should step out for a moment.”
Ah, there was one thing Sei needed to do.
Hearing Eltan’s voice from outside the door, Sei startled and hurriedly bit into the pillowcase.
Even though muffled groans still slipped out, at least this way, she could try to hold them back.
