Barbaric Spouse, Descry the Night's Lure-Chapter 191: Scene CXCI

*Bang!* — His fist now hit the chair’s edge in manifestation to his deep thrill. Even causing the woman to jump in surprise as she heard the ground’s suffering.

Nonetheless, he continued pacing, solely this time also looking for some simpler clothes he was to wear. Having in thought the preparations he was more interested in getting ready for once they got back from the feast.

“I’ll dress too.” — Aslak said, excited and reticent. — “I won’t trust all of it to Jollveld.”

He had to leave without seeing his wife. Nonetheless, his goodbye was told to Ewelina with a door as separation, and her sound still made him happy for he could imagine his voice had startled her in the solitude she refugee in.

A busy morning commenced for both with such a start.

Conversing about the details of a surprise, Aslak and Jollveld ate their breakfast in an eager mood. Taking care of securing the disliked princess who had been oddly passive to be watched by their men so nothing was to happen to his wife, the details of the scheme for the romantic surprise Aslak was to give was discussed with the King and cousin.

“You have to be gentle, Ya hear me? You open the door to her and wait for her to see the decorations.”

“... Then, I can tell her.”

“Well... don’t go and say it bluntly. You should tell her nice things.”

“... I know what to tell her.”

“... Either way. Be sure to tell her what she doesn’t know... So... about this matter... have you thought about it?”

“? What. I’m telling her I love her, that I know.”

“I’m talking about the tea.”

“... What about it.”

“Have you thought about how you will tell her?” — Concerned, Jollveld inquired. Reminding Aslak of the option he had given before. — “Have you reconsidered this decision of yours? You know... Not having children... it will break her-”

“We’re having children.”

“.......... What?”

“... It doesn’t matter to me anymore... I prefer dying before seeing her unhappy... Yesterday... I brought Nu to her after she didn’t see the kid for a few days... Tha effing kid made her show the thing of her cheek for the longest I’ve seen.”

“Thing of her cheek??... Are you sure, however? Even though the tradition exists?... ‘Cause that’s your reason... right?”

“... More or less. But I told you I don’t care anymore... I’ll figure somethin’ out. There’s a way... I’ll make it for her.”

"... It’s been months she’s been drinking it..."

"... Something I’ll find."

Severe at the circumstances, the men became solemn for the knowledge and culture were certain in their heads. The idea of proposing a change was not in the king to tell even if desiring to. And so, it was the very same appalled Archduke that shook off the dim ambience, taking the mead served specially for him and resuming the lovesome preparations.

By the time he came back to their chambers, the woman’s preparations were in the middle of her decorations.

Surrounded by the servants she did need for further polishing, Ewelina’s proper stance in the deep dark indigo of a luxurious dress was breathtaking as her shoulders had a stripe of white fur that with the gems in her crown’s adornment only made more noticeable as well as more pure the enhanced beauty the red tint and her scent granted.

"... Husband it was time you arrived. You also need to get changed, remember?" — She said from her spot, remaining still as the dress had to be checked so no misplaced dirt could be found.

"..... O-ou... I know."

"... Women are we done?"

"Yes, Your Elegant Grace."

"You may retire for now." — Bowing grateful to the women, Ewelina dismissed them at her husband’s arrival. Only coming to look at him after none other than themselves were in the room. — "... Welcome back. Were you able to speak with his majesty?"

"Ou, I’m back-...? Why did you step away." — At his hand’s avoidance that was to take her visage in order to graze her in a greeting gesture, Aslak inquired displeased. Giving a step closer that was to be taken away by the wife again. — "Oi. What are you doing."

"!... I am sorry... Yet husband’s touch is a dangerous temptation... and I do not wish for this long morning’s efforts to become undone so soon..."

"... It’ll become undone eventually."

"Y-yes... however, not before the feast please..." — To the fingertips of the man that slightly took hold of her dress’ skirt Ewelina’s stutter came like a whisper of the breeze. That opposite to its fresh wind only heated up an already anticipating heart of the man. — "The effort I placed... should remain a little longer... yes, my spouse?"

"A’ight... Yet I still want a kiss." — Already leaning onto the woman, the dazed man said. Being stopped slightly before receiving the affection.

"! Ah, o-only a brief one..."

"Mhm."

"hm... Fh.."

Pressing his lips against hers, a greedy lick was given before separating. And to the smirk of the seemingly victorious man, Ewelina froze... for even if soft, a shade of her coloured lips had been left in the man’s lips.

Her hand lifted to diffuse it as it thankfully was not as noticeable. Telling the man why affection was not a good idea after all.

"Sigh, this I feared... It is good it had dried almost entirely-... Aslak!"

"Leave it." — After licking her thumb, Aslak said. — "I’ve to combine with ya."

"!? Not to this extent!"

"khkh... I’ll get changed. We’re supposed to arrive soon."

"Goodness... Your garments are there... I prepared it this morning..."

Seemingly in a pout, Ewelina signalled where his attire was. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

The charm of her youth made him chuckle further, and in delight and appreciation, a grace on her cheek was given by his nose.

The wild Archduke then drifted away to do as told... And right after the coat was worn over the delicate shirt she had prepared, her aid was given as quietly the man requested, with the past day’s aid in mind.

Simply as he finished, Ewelina polished him as if her aid was now a must after doing it one time.
