Chapter 63
When Ella and Lucis came out of the banquet hall, they felt the temperature drop at night. Fortunately, she still had a cloak on her body, so she didn't feel cold.
When they came out, they didn't see the dancing girl. The soldiers didn't know where they drove her, but at least they wouldn't let her appear in front of Lucis again.
Thinking of the other party's overly cool attire, one is not good, and I am afraid that he will get sick and catch a cold.
Not long after they came out, Mandy Yale caught up and pleaded guilty to Lucis, saying that he didn't know that such a thing would happen beforehand, otherwise he would never agree to the bitman's request.
"Let you and His Highness be disturbed so much, it is really not thorough enough for us."
What Mandy Yalu said was very sincere. No one thought that those people in Bit would be so bold. Even if he offered beauties to His Majesty in private, it would be better than arranging such a performance. Now, let’s not offend Her Royal Highness.I can't get off the stage by myself.
His attitude of pleading guilty was sincere, and Lucis didn't mean to be angry, so he quickly sent him away.
After dark, there was nothing to go shopping, so they went back to the room where they lived temporarily.
The room prepared for Lucis is far away from the banquet hall. It is quiet and has enough guards. In the night, there are guards every few steps, and soldiers guard all the way.
Candles are brightly lit in the gorgeous room, and a lot of Ella's usual daily necessities have been added to the original too masculine room furnishings, making the whole room look a lot softer.
After returning to this room, Ella became more and more nervous, because starting today, she and Lucis will sleep in the same bed.
This is really a bold decision, and now she can't recall where she got the courage to agree not to change the room but to stay and live with Lucis in the afternoon.
She was probably out of her mind at the time.
At this time, Ella really wanted to retreat.
"What's wrong?"
After returning to the room, someone took off the hood on the shoulders. Lucis, who took the warm towel from the attendant and wiped his face, saw Ella froze on the spot, hesitant to speak, and went out.asked loudly.
Ella, who couldn't say anything, opened her mouth, but finally shook her head and said nothing.
Now that you agreed, you can't go back on it, Ella.
She convinced herself so, and then began to take care of herself.
When he was in Boiman, Lucis had to deal with a lot of government affairs, so he went to bed late every day, but after arriving here, he can naturally go to bed early, and Ella always goes to bed early, and this time is almost her usual restIt's time.
But the preparations she needs to make before going to bed are much more troublesome than a big man like Lucis.
They had already taken a shower before attending the banquet, and they didn't sweat much afterwards. This time, they don't need to take another shower, but Ella needs to remove her makeup, and after that, she needs to do some nursing care and apply a mask or something to keep her skin in good condition.It also takes a lot of time to set it up.
There is a special compartment for changing clothes in the room. Ella went in and changed her dress and jewelry, and walked out wearing a simple long-sleeved nightgown.Doing basic daily skin care, the whole process can be said to have been busy except for the time when applied the mask and soaked feet.
And Lucis, who had already washed and changed his clothes, was sitting by the bed, watching Ella's every move, focused and serious, as if he was watching a wonderful performance, and he didn't feel bored at all.
When Ella began to apply skin care products for herself, the attendants had packed up the basin and towels and left, leaving only the two of them in the room.
Ella's slow care of herself is indeed suspected of delaying time, but sooner or later this will end.
And after she took care of her face, she began to comb her silver hair carefully.
It was also the first time for Lucis to see a woman take care of herself before going to bed, and she didn't expect the process to be so cumbersome.
He got up from the bed, went to Ella and sat cross-legged on the cushion, took the comb from her hand, and began to help her comb her hair.
This was his first time serving others, and the force was subconsciously controlled very lightly, being careful not to hurt her hair.
Ella's long hair became curly because of the previous hairstyle. After letting go, it became a natural wave. The silver long hair glowed with golden light under the orange candlelight. It looked like it had changed from silver toIt became gold and became more precious.
Holding the thick long hair in his hands, it was soft and silky, which Lucis couldn't put it down.
"Do women have to take such trouble to take care of themselves before going to bed at night?"
Ella corrected him: "Only rich people have the time and money to take care of themselves like this. Ordinary civilians don't have such good conditions."
Ella's luck lies in the fact that although she didn't feel much love from her parents in her two reincarnations, her material life was good and she never had to worry about money.
After combing my hair, it's really time to rest.
During this period, Ella finally made a good mental preparation and calmed herself down.
Without letting the attendants in, she got up to blow out the extra candles by herself. Lucis also helped when she was blowing out the candles. To be honest, this was the first time he had done this job.
In the end only the candle closest to the bed was left burning.
Ella came to the bed and asked Lucis as naturally as possible: "Do you sleep inside or outside?"
"Outside."
Ella lifted the covers and crawled into the back seat.
The big wooden bed made some very light creaking sounds, Lucis blew out the last candle, and then lay down on the outside of the bed.
Ella's eyes went dark, and it took her a while to adapt to the darkness in the room.
The translucent bed curtain was put down, the moonlight could not shine in, and the light inside the bed curtain was even dimmer. Ella's bright eyes could only vaguely see the dark figure of Lucis under the backlight, and she was lying down with the quilt lifted..
There was only one thin quilt on the bed, and since the two of them had been specially arranged to live together, the hostess of Nuomarhe's mansion would naturally not prepare another quilt for them, and the Sathyas did not have the habit of sharing the same bed with different quilts.
The bed is so big that even four or five adults can lie on it enough to rub, and the thin quilt is also big, but Ella didn't sleep against the wall on purpose, and the distance between the two of them was very close, so closeYou can touch each other with just one move.
The bed curtain isolated the outside world, and the atmosphere in the quiet space seemed a little strange. Ella lay flat on the bed, motionless, and couldn't help but wonder if the people next to her would make other movements.
For a long while, the room was silent, except for each other's breathing, there was no other movement in the air. The quiet Ella wondered if the people around her had fallen asleep.
However, no matter how fast a person can sleep, he probably won't fall asleep so quickly at this time. Besides, as far as Ella knows, Lucis's sleep quality is not very good. He is not easy to fall asleep.People, so the sleeping hall is always lit with incense to help sleep.
Although there was still a lot of mess in mind, couldn't help but think about a lot of messy things, but the quiet atmosphere still made Ella relax a little bit.
Suddenly, for a moment, Ella realized that maybe she wasn't the only one who was nervous.
Or maybe Lucis was more nervous than she was.
The last time Melyet came to her, he vaguely told her something about Lucis when he was young, plus Lucis's usual behavior, Ella always knew that he hated being approached by others very much.
While they've progressed to the point where they're holding hands, cuddling and even kissing, sharing a bed is a whole other stage.
Moreover, Lu Xisi's alertness was very high, and it was not easy for him to accept that there was a person lying next to him in his sleep.
Thinking of this, Ella suddenly felt less uncomfortable.
She turned over and changed from lying flat to side lying. She raised her hand and put her arm on her head. In the process, she touched the arm of Lucis next to her, and she obviously felt the instant muscle tension.
Sure enough, Lucis, like her, was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.
"Lucy, are you asleep?"
"No."
As Ella thought, Lucis really couldn't sleep.
He was eager to go further with Ella, but he wanted to be more circular. The kiss in the afternoon was a surprise, and he didn't plan to do anything more tonight.
He is well aware of his faults. Although he enjoys the intimate interactions with Ella, the vigilance and physical reflexes he has cultivated over the years make him not sure that he can guarantee that he will not hurt Ella in his sleep.
Lucis was even prepared for a night of sleepless nights.
Hearing that Ayla meant to talk to him, Lucis also took advantage of the situation and changed his posture, facing Ayla sideways.
They were already very close to each other, so they turned sideways, face to face, breathing in and out, and sprayed on each other's lips and noses, and could smell a faint scent of mint with steam, which was the mint used when brushing their teeth just nowThe smell of water.
They use the same mint water, which naturally has the same taste, but because of the different people who use it, there are different changes.
At least Lucis felt that the mint smell lingering in his nostrils was particularly good, which made him want to taste it a little bit.
He moved his head, bringing the two closer together, almost to the point of sticking together.
His deep voice sounded in Ella's ear: "Can't you sleep?"
"Actually, it's okay, but I don't want to sleep so much now. What about you, do you want to sleep?"
Ella felt that they were a little too close, so close that they might touch each other when they spoke.
The winding breath reminded Ella of the kiss in the afternoon.
Lucis answered her honestly: "Not really."
Ella chuckled in the dark: "It seems that I am not the only one who is nervous."
"I'm not nervous."
Lucis didn't admit that he was nervous, he was just a little worried and a little energetic.
"Really?" Ella didn't believe it. She raised her other hand, stretched it forward, and pressed it against Lucis' chest.
Lucis was also used to not wearing a shirt when he was sleeping, and Ira's hand was not only directly pressed against his chest, but even pressed to a dot.
The skin under the palm of her hand was hot, and it visibly bounced when she touched it, the vibration in her chest also became more violent, and the sound of breathing in her ears became heavier.
Lucis grabbed the hand that was out of place, the delicate skin of the slender wrist was more obvious in the darkness.
Ella was very decisive: "Sorry, I just want to feel your heartbeat frequency."
Although Lucis grabbed her hand, he didn't let her move away.
"So how do you feel?"
"The frequency is very fast, probably about the same as mine." Ella lay her head on her wrist, and could clearly feel the beating of the pulse, which was not the speed that the standard value should have.
"So you're nervous too," she concluded.
"If you know it, don't say it." Lucis's voice was a little gnashing of teeth, but it was not because of anger or shame.
In the darkness, a tall figure covered another, and all the words disappeared without a trace between the lips and teeth, leaving only the sound of more rapid breathing.
·····
The squires who served Lucis and Ayla found their masters more intimate.
In the past, when Lucis and Ella got along, although they could be seen as a couple and behaved very intimately, they still restrained each other, but now, that restraint is completely gone, even ifThe two of them didn't have any intimate actions, and the atmosphere between them was completely different. The sweet, sour smell that belongs to lovers should not be too obvious.
And this transformation was brought about in just one night.
Everyone tacitly believed that His Majesty and the Princess must have had a great time that night, and their wedding would soon be on the agenda.
However, the wedding was indeed already in the arrangement of Lucis, but the situation last night was not as deep as they thought.
When Lucis kissed Ayla with a little vengeance, he did have the urge to go to the end, but in the end he restrained it.
It's not because don't want to, it's just that simply feel that the location is inappropriate.
His princesses deserved the best, and they should have performed this sacred scene in carefully arranged surroundings, not in a hastily prepared guest room by Normalch.
Lucis felt that his princess should not be wronged.
So they kissed, hugged and touched each other, exchanging breaths in the wide and narrow bed curtain, inserting their fingers into each other's hair, clinging to each other's shoulders, and rubbing their skin brought strange and trembling sensory stimulation, which made people feel uncomfortable.I don't want to be separated for a moment of intoxication.
Lucis even felt that the greatest endurance in his life was spent on Ella, so he endured and didn't make it to the end—although they did everything they could do except the last step.
Lucis, who had planned to stay up all night, did fall asleep in the middle of the night, but in his sleep, not only did he not reject the addition of Ella by his side, even when he woke up, the two still hugged each other before falling asleep.The sleeping position has not changed.
Holding the fragrant lover in his arms, Lucis, who was still in a lazy and relaxed spirit, closed his eyes and enjoyed this strange and satisfying feeling, unwilling to wake up. This was the most comfortable sleep he had slept in these years.
He didn't wake up Ayla who was still sleeping, and the guards outside didn't dare to disturb them even without Lucis' call, so it wasn't until the sun was high that Ayla woke up in the increasingly high heatcome over.
The sudden change of schedule made her feel dizzy and uncomfortable when she woke up. If it wasn't for the rising temperature, and there seemed to be a big fireball around her, the hot Ella felt uncomfortable all over.
When she opened her eyes, she saw the collarbone clearly visible on the honey-colored skin, and the Adam's apple bulging above the collarbone.
Further up was the handsome face of Lucis who opened his eyes upon noticing her movement.
Looking at each other, Ella blinked, and her chaotic brain suddenly woke up.
There seemed to be a rush of hot air in her body, Hongxia climbed up her cheeks, smudged her ears again, and exploded in her head with a bang.
She thought of everything last night, and those pictures that were too exciting to her mind, even though she couldn't see them clearly, made her subconsciously avoid Lucis' sight.
Then she belatedly realized that she was in a state of skin-to-skin contact with Lucis at the moment, neither of them was wearing any clothes, and a certain part that reacted to her awakening was just sticking to her waistBelly, and then a little bit from soft to hard.
After realizing what it was, Ella immediately ignored her shyness, and got up from Lucis' arms the next moment, grabbed the quilt to wrap herself, and got off the bed in two or three steps, with the other hand holdingGrabbing the clothes left in the corner of the bed after being taken off last night.
After getting off the ground, she saw Lucis's skirt at her feet.
Bending down to pick up the cross skirt, she turned her head to look at Lucis who was still lying on the bed, just turned over and was looking at her.With a face as red as if she had rubbed too much rouge, she threw the skirt on him, and said as calmly as possible: "Get up, the sun is already climbing high."
Although the quilt was taken away and he was exposed naked in the air, Lucis didn't show any shyness, as if he was wearing clothes.
Ella hugged her clothes and dragged the quilt to the changing room to change. In the middle, she vaguely heard Lucis walking to the door and asking someone to prepare hot water, her face turned even redder.
But she took a shower in the room in the end, but she did it alone after driving out everyone else, including Lucy, and she was still worrying about whether her cosmetics could cover the marks on her body while washing..
The dog man is right, he doesn't know how to restrain himself from biting people, although it doesn't hurt much, but the marks are too obvious.
Knowing that she was embarrassing, what could Lucis do, he could only go to other places to wash, but everyone could see that he was in a very good mood today, and the corners of his mouth that had been flat all year round were curled up.
They didn't stay in Kaman for too long, but the time was not too short, about 20 days.
Except that Ella was unable to go to the resettlement village outside the city to check on the patient's condition the next day due to various objective reasons, she insisted on going there for the next few days.
On the first day Ella came to the resettlement village to see the patients, she told Lucy that those patients who had recovered could be allowed to leave. When she came back to the village on the third day, most of the recovered patients had already left, leaving only one patient.A small number are hired to stay here to help care for the remaining patients.
Among them, the priests sent by the temple were the first to leave. They left as soon as they heard that the seal was lifted. They looked impatient as if there were hyenas chasing behind them. The soldiers guarding the village couldn't help butZhu Zhu took a sip at their backs.
"Your Majesty is coming to Kaman, these priests will soon be in trouble."
In fact, the price of Kaman's temple among the common people is not good. Otherwise, when the malaria incident broke out, so many civilians would not go to the temple to ask for an explanation.
They all knew that the priests in the Kaman Temple were a group of hypocrites who only flattered the rich. Their seemingly loyal to the gods were superficial, and they only cared about the benefits they could obtain.
Facing the civilians, they are superior and disdainful, but they take it for granted to squeeze the only wealth they have.
The well-known commoners have long been disgusted with these people. In private, they even call these priests betrayals, and they are not worthy of serving the gods in the temple.
Now that the great king came in person, they believed that the hypocrisy of the priests would soon be doomed.
The same is true.
When Ella was running around in and out of the city, Lucis was not idle, he had a lot of work to do.
On the second day after arriving in Kaman, more and more Nuomahers came from their respective pastors to meet Lucis.March and their confidants left their respective pastors just to allow those subordinates who are responsible for investigating the situation in various places to better complete their work and investigate the real situation of each pastor.
These investigators were secretly dispatched by Lucis when he was still in Boiman. They disguised themselves as various identities and sneaked into the problematic Pastor to contact the spies who were originally hidden in it——These spies were all placed in various pastors one after another after Lucis registered. He has a great desire for control and never lets those pastors out of his control.When she was in Dia, Lucis knew immediately why she was taken away by the Kata Mission.
The spies rooted in various places have been secretly investigating for a long time when the accidents happened in these places. After the people sent by the capital arrived and contacted them, the investigated materials were directly handed over to them, and then a special person was responsible for sorting them out.A volume was delivered to Lucis as quickly as possible.
After getting the real evidence, the first person to be dealt with was not even the temple that had committed many mistakes, but the Nomakh of Bit.
When Normacher, who had not yet left Kaman, was caught, he himself didn't understand how bad his situation was, and even clamored for people to let him go, but everyone knew that this man might notWhat a good result.
No matter what he did in this incident, just offending His Majesty the King is enough for him to suffer.
That Majesty has never been an easy-talking character.
Lucis brought a large number of soldiers on purpose this time. With the cooperation of Garmandi Yale, these soldiers and guards surrounded the temple together, captured all the priests in the temple and put them in Kaman's prison.I went to arrest those nobles and officials who had close contacts with the temple. The whole city was in chaos, and people were arrested every day.People who left their families stood by the side of the road when the soldiers arrested them. When they saw the priests and officials who were taken away, they threw stones and rotten leaves at them, yelled at them, and cried while cursing. Sometimes the scenes got a little out of control.When the control was timely, there was no other problem except that the captured person suffered a little injury and was messed up all over his body.
And those Nuomahers from other pastors felt that something was wrong the first time Lucis started to do it. Although some of them were not as close to the temple as Bit's NuomarchesYes, but in the past they turned a blind eye to the affairs of the temple and even gave them some convenience. Their stance could not even be called neutral. Now that Lucis is arresting people so much, they are very worried that their Pastor will alsoin this way.
Some people immediately found a reason to go back to their Pastor, but Lucis did not agree. Not only did they not agree, they also found themselves under house arrest, let alone leaving Kaman and returning to their Pastor.They were not even allowed to leave their residences.
At this time, everything related to this malaria outbreak is unclear, and the officials who have ghosts in their hearts know that things are going in a very bad direction, but they are tantamount to throwing themselves into the trap.To prevent His Majesty the King from taking action against their Pastor, he could only watch helplessly as the power he had operated for a long time collapsed, and even his own wealth and life were about to be lost.
