Chapter 147: <Short stories 1.2>
Bina’s shock turned into pure pleasure.
“Luc…!”
As her lovely face blushed, Lucretius hurriedly walked towards her. He looked ridiculous. He was still wearing the same clothes he was wearing before they said their goodbyes. That was three days ago. His shoulders were covered with specks of dust and his cloak had leaves sticking out.
Bina commented on his absurd appearance.
“What happened to you? I can understand the leaves may be from sneaking into this garden, but what’s with the dust and dirt all over you?”
She was used to Lucretius appearing out of blue in the castle through the secret passages, but she never expected him to do the same in this place.
Several layers of royal guards protected the building. This garden was guarded especially because the empress herself was taking a bath. Not even an ant would manage to infiltrate their line of defenses, yet here was a big handsome (?) ant who got in unnoticed.
There was no noise from the outside, which must have meant he did sneak in without anyone noticing. He was good.
‘Should I be worried about the incompetence of my royal guards?’
She became concerned, but she decided to think about it later.
She reprimanded him firmly.
“I told you not to sneak around. You know the guards and the maids freak out when you do this. Don’t you feel bad for them?”
At Bina’s scolding, Lucretius cringed jokingly. He even pretended to look sad.
Bina knew this look. Her husband was in his thirties and he was a father, yet he often acted like a sad puppy to get her sympathy.
He replied, “I’m sad.”
“Why?”
“I rode my horse all day and night to get to my wife, yet you have no sympathy for your husband?”
Bina grinned. “My husband had me alone in this romantic night, so don’t you think I have the right to be mad?”
Lucretius cringed dramatically. “Then do you want me to say, ‘I deserve your punishment?'”
Bina chuckled and reached out to him. “If you committed a crime, then, of course, you should get punished.”
Lucretius waited for her to put her arms around him.
“Hmm?”
However, she didn’t hug him right away. Under the seductive moonlight, her fingers slowly removed the broach that was holding his cloak in place.
As the heavy cloak dropped to the floor, the dust flew everywhere.
“Ewww, look at all this dust!”
“It’s the proof of my love, so please accept it.”
“You are ridiculous.”
Bina’s laughter rang joyously. Her hands moved quickly to undo Lucretius’ shirt buttons.
“It’s annoying how many buttons I have to undo to get you naked every time.”
“You are the one who helped me put on this shirt, and I haven’t taken it off since. I made sure no one touched me.”
He said it proudly and she tapped one of the golden buttons teasingly.
“Hmm. Really?”
“I swear.”
“Hmm…” Bina smiled with eyes filled with ill-intentions as she continued to undo another button. “I see that you really have been a good boy.”
“I was!”
