Chapter 96 (1/2)

“Ah…” she exclaimed, blushing when he wrapped his arms around her waist so suddenly, which reminded her of Bipaan’s warm hands that gripped her waist in the hot bath. She tried to forget that moment but couldn’t.

On the night she went to the open-air bath, Bipaan held her when she slipped in the hot bath. His awkward, yet cautious actions left a deep impression in her mind.

At that moment she closed her eyes. She hunched her shoulders and lowered her head.

‘No, no. I shouldn’t recall his warm touch from that night.’

She kept repeating the thought deep inside numerous times. She tried her best to forget all the moments she shared with Bipaan in the open-air bath that night. She didn’t want to bring back any memories about him, but Ruhae’s soft and gentle touch made her recall all the memories of Bipaan so easily.

She was shrouded in a feeling of embarrassment and guilt.

‘Yes, this is a sin. It is a sin for me to think of another guy when I am wrapped in his arms.’

Her beloved partner Ruhae was now standing right before her eyes.

She grabbed the lower edges of his sleeves tightly.

“Are you okay?”

Feeling that she was acting strange, Ruhae leaned over her as she nervously hunched her shoulders. He wanted to see her face. The more he tried to look at her face, the more she lowered her head. He couldn’t see her anymore because she lowered her head too much.

“I’m alright,” she said in a feeble voice.

While saying so, she was wrapped tightly in his arms.

She was close to him, and she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.

With their arms around each other, they shared an embrace touch full of affection for each other.

She felt Ruhae’s touch was different.

Thinking like that, she calmed herself down.

She buried her face in his chest, and breathed in his scent fully.

She tightened her grip and pulled him closer. She wanted her whole body to be filled with him.

Looking at her, he said, “I think you have missed me for so long.”

As what he said was not wrong, she nodded violently like a child.

He felt her so cute that he stroked her hair.

‘Yes, you’re right. I missed you so much every night that I felt empty and lonely.’

Dwelling on his remarks, she cleared up her confused mind.

She felt okay as she met him finally.

Though it had been 15 days since they last saw each other, they just hugged each other with the window wide open.

“Did you go to bed, Your Highness?” the nanny asked outside the door.

Kyosul was stunned to hear her voice.

Opening her eyes quickly, Kyosul raised her head with him looking at awkwardly.

On usual occasions, the nanny would come into her room without her approval.

However, after she raised her voice recently, she was careful enough to come in and out of Kyosul’s room recklessly. She did not enter the room before asking her first.

As there was no reply, the nanny asked again.

“Your Highness! Are you asleep now?”

“Do not come in!”

Oops! She raised her voice again because she was embarrassed. She felt sorry again for her nanny, but she had no other choice but to do so to protect Ruhae.

She patted his clothes several times and hurriedly approached the door.

She saw the nanny’s shadow outside the door. She did not open the door, but put her hand on it and said, “I’m sorry I have yelled at you again.”

“No, you don’t have to. It’s my duty to find out how you feel, so I just feel sorry as I can’t read your mind these days.”

Although the nanny kindly comforted her, she felt bitter while saying so,

Kyosul turned her head for a moment and looked at Ruhae. And then she turned back and said in a low voice, “I don’t need your help anymore today. I just want to be alone for the time being. So, I don’t want anyone in my room. ”

“Your Highness! Are you …. ”

The nanny quickly shut up while trying to say something. She was silent, but Kyosul waited for her to talk.

There was a long silence between them. There was no way for Kyosul to know what the nanny was thinking deep inside. As she was somewhat tense, she couldn’t even ask the nanny as if she was a criminal waiting for a judge’s ruling.

Her hands grew wet when the nanny said unexpectedly, “Your Highness, would you want a warm bath before going to bed? ”

Her unexpected question was out of context. And Kyosul clearly said she didn’t need the nanny’s help anymore today.
