Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son Chapter 190: Help To Calm Down A Heart

Chapter 190: Help To Calm Down A Heart

Seren felt relieved as she felt her presence was not necessary there and was ready to leave as Eva and Marrie were already present there to serve their Queen.

"Your Majesty, this way, please" Marrie instructed and two more Griven Royal servants accompanied them. Eva and Married being new in Griven palace always needed a.s.sistance from the royal servants a.s.signed to help them.

Seren left and others continued their political talk.

"How are the things at the border?" Drayce asked.

"Everything is peaceful with the cooperation from Megaris border territory owner, Marquis Hart," Duke Wimark replied.

"Good to know," Drayce commented.

Duke Wimark was a wealthy person who had control over the entire Griven territory that shared a border with Megaris. He was powerful and could control the various things at the border including various businesses and import-export. He had contacts with the various important sources that aided in the betterment of Griven.

King of Griven decided to give him his only daughter to secure his strong relationship with him and there would not be any conflicts between them in the future as those conflicts might end up against them. Moreover, Duke Wimark was known to be a good person who followed the rules and morals.

He kept traveling a lot and couldn't accompany Alvera in her needed conditions so she had been brought to the Royal family, to her parents' home to deliver her baby and to take care of her.

After talking for some time, everyone departed to their rooms while Drayce and Arlan went to visit Drayce's knights and soldiers who got enough time to rest after reaching Griven.

The day pa.s.sed by and it was the night, a time to depart to sleep after a tiring day. Seren was ready to sleep after Eva and Marie helped her with a bath and changing into night clothes and left.

Drayce came to the chamber and looked at his queen who was already in bed, sleeping at her one side and facing her back to him. It was an obvious reaction he expected from her when he would go back to the chamber so he didn't feel bad about it.

Removing his clothes as usual he went to have a bath which had been already prepared for him by the servants.

Seren was aware of When Drayce entered the chamber and went to have a bath but she didn't show any movement and preferred to act like she was asleep. He had a.s.sured her that he would not hurt her and she trusted his genuine words. But there was something else that made her wary of him. The new kind of feelings she was experiencing but didn't know what it was and could only feel scared of it. She was scared how her heart raced faster and her breathing turned shallow whenever he came closer to her or touched her.

Seren remembered what happened in the morning. Everything seemed fine until he bit her and scared her. Before that what he did was somewhere pleasant to her senses though she felt anxious with what was happening with her. She remembered the touch of his fingers when he slid down her nightdress from her shoulder and then the touch of his warm lips on the back of her neck and along her shoulder. She gulped and felt her heart unstable just with the memory of it.

'I think I am falling sick slowly or there is no reason for my heart and breathing to be affected like this. Will I die soon with the sickness? I don't want to,' Seren thought and continued to sleep with these scary thoughts in her mind.

When Drayce returned after having a bath and wearing a night robe, Seren was the same as if she was like an immovable statue. There was not an inch change in her sleeping position.

'Is she still scared of me even after I a.s.sured her?' he thought and went to the bed.

Climbing on the bed, Drayce pulled over the same big size quilt that Seren pulled over her and looked at her who faced her back to him.

Seren could feel all the movements in bed and brace herself to be calm only. She felt him getting on the bed and a side of the soft mattress where he slept, sinking a little down.

Drayce calmly looked at her and thought, 'Should I let her sleep like this or show there is nothing to be scared of? What she is scared of, it won't happen again but she would like the rest of it. If I always leave her like this, she will always expect me to leave her alone.' Drayce thought and his sight wander around the quilt that took a shape of her pet.i.te figure. 'But I sure can't let her be when I want her so desperately. I need to make her get used to me and my touch slowly. I wonder how she will taste when I do something with her.'

At this lonely and pleasant night, Drayce's thoughts were going haywire and his inner desires to devour his wife had started to surface. During the day it was easy to suppress it but at the night it felt equally difficult and impossible. Thought he had given words to her father, but there was no such clause that he can't even touch her.

Drayce shifted slowly towards Seren who could feel him moving closer to her. Just with a little movement from him in the bed, Seren shut her eyes tightly and prayed for him to not come closer to her.

'I don't want to die so soon,' she repeated in her mind.

Her already unstable heart had started to pick up the pace and it was ready to jump out when she felt Man's warm and strong chest touched her cold back and his strong arm surrounded her stomach.

She had no more s.p.a.ce to move but even if there was, she couldn't dare show she was awake.

"My Queen," Drayce called her in a low voice as she heard his lips moving at the back of her neck.

'Should I respond or not?' she thought and heard him again, "It's too noisy."

'Noisy? What is he talking about?' she thought and heard him again, "Shall I do something to put it to rest to lower the noise?"

Now Seren was curious to know what he was talking about and couldn't help but break her resolution of acting asleep.

"My apologies, but I did not understand what His Majesty is referring to," she said.

"Your heart, it's too noisy. Do you want me to help you calm it down, My Queen?" Drayce asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice as he stared at the backside of her slender neck which was visible to his eyes.

"C-Calm it down?" She mumbled and fear surrounded her mind as there was only one way to calm down a person's heart- a death.

Drayce hummed in response, "I am sure you will like it, my Queen."
