Chapter 217
“But I can’t bear the thought of you being in a place like this even for a moment!”
Riftan pulled her away fro her sit straight up His broad, tensed shoulders glealow of dawn His eyes were shaded under his hair as he looked down at Max, roughly sweeping his eyelids
“I had no intention of having you in this situation when I brought you along with me from Anatol”
“Riftan… I really don’t mind this situation We are h-husband and wife I also… want to help you in any way I may be eak, but… I kno to c-cure, and I aic My body is alsoall the way here… I withstood it well, didn’t I? I am not that eak”
Despite her profound persuasions, the skepticism on Riftan’s face didn’t fade away Max leaned in an atteht that he ht push her away Then, Riftan let out a deep breath that he was holding in and drew her closer to hiue press for entrance and pushed into her ainst his sturdy chest as his large arms secured her body like the roots of a tree
She chased her breath, like a fish that was caught in a net He passionately devoured her lips, his high, perfectly straight nose pressed eagerly against hers and his rough, stubbled jaw brushi+ng over her delicate chin As she felt his hot, daly explore the roof of her mouth and swipe the inside of her cheeks, she shuddered in pleasure The kiss was so ravenous that it felt like he would s her
“Maxi…”
Riftan called her naently laid her down on the bed His hot fingers trailed a path between her legs, rab his forearm Riftan’s black eyes burned so intensely that she could have easily thought that he hated her He stroked her passionately but at one point, as if all his patience was lost, he used his body to crushi+ngly grind her underneath hi her out of her rightabove her
Max greedily trailed her eyes over the sturdy, sesture thathim to take her Beads of sweat started to for for him seemed to burn the insides of her body She ran her hands incessantly against his back as an invite, drawing an erotic moan fro doith hiood that she could die
However, the passionate heat engulfing the footsteps
“Co to assemble!”
Someone exclaiainst the bed and spat out frustrated profanities
“fuck, such a tihtly and temperamentally yelled back “I’ll be there soon”
Max pulled down her clothes that had been rolled up Riftan looked at her with the eyes still burning for passion, then forced himself to stand up She could see how thehis distress from the desire that he hadn’t been able to satisfy
He capriciously swept the ruffled hair on the back of his head and pulled out a new tunic, pulling it over his head Then, he washed his face and wore his armor in a blink of an eye Max rapped in a blanket as she sat down to watch hiht While he was strapping his sword around his waist, he finally looked back at her with poignant eyes
“I’ll be back soon, so don’t go anywhere and stay here”
“B-but I also have work to do…”
Max immediately shut herwild dog
“I can’t have you wandering alone in a place full of vulgar brutes Don’t even think about stepping out of this tent”
He shot her one last daunting look as if warning her that he would not tolerate it if she disobeyed hiain, then he went out of the tent She was too late when she hurriedly adjusted her clothing and atteuarding the entrance
“My apologies Sir Calypse left specific instructions not to let the Lady leave the tent”
She looked up at hi about her, not to mention, it would arouse the priestesses’ suspicions if she wasn’t back irew hter every o to the infirmary, I will come back”
“We must honor Sir Calypse’s orders above all”
The soldier did not even budge Max bit her lip as she looked up at the man and went back in She felt furious with the coercive treat her, but she couldn’t despise hi to protect her She plopped down helplessly on the bed as she waited for him to return However, as she had never been idle for the past feeeks, having gotten used to working froly anxious
Max wandered around the tent, touching the things he had arranged His barrack was sparsely decorated, but very spacious and comfortable An armor and a sword stand were placed next to the bed lined with tapestry, along with several spears and shi+elds A table with dozens of chairs was set up near the entrance, it was so long that it could easily acco, a round hole wasrope connected to the canopy hung to the floor so that it could be closed at any tied on the rope like a curious cat, thenelse She leisurely looked around the barracks, then she felt the surroundings of the tent grow increasingly noisy Max ju away the flap that covered it Then, frounized her face
“A-Agnes?”
They both turned their heads towards her at the same time when they heard her voice
“Maximillian!” The princess ran towards her before Riftan could even open his hts, I thought that there was no way, it couldn’t be But it’s true! It has been a while How have you been all this time?”
Max stared wide-eyed at the unexpectedly elcoreet her cheerfully and held her hands despite Max being in stupor “Co all this way ed you instead of welco you, didn’t they?”
Unable to refute the princess’s statement, Max turned and shot Riftan a nasty look, who frowned and clenched his jaw at the accusation
“Don’t even think about spewing nonsense to my wife”
“Nonsense you say! What makes you say that?” The princess snorted at hi a rational offer Besides, it’s the lady’s decision that will matter, not the lord’s decision”
Max couldn’t understand as going on, and out of nowhere, Ruth appeared to prevent the two froument
“Both of you, stop it and cal the Lady uncomfortable”
Riftan shot Ruth a bloody look before focusing on Max She had no idea what they were talking about, and seeing the concern on her face, her husband roughly swept his face and reluctantly headed towards his barrack
“Fine Let’s talk inside”
