Chapter 349 (1/2)

The moment I raised my body after barely kissing his lips, he wrapped my waist with his hand suddenly and pulled me. In a moment of confusion, he put his tongue into my mouth. I suddenly came to my senses when he was at it again. What the heck? Was he awake until now?

Although I was struggling in embarrassment, he pulled me closer to keep me from getting away. As he gave me a deep kiss, grabbing my waist with one hand and supporting the back of my head with the other, my stiffened body began to relax slowly. I naturally closed my eyes that I opened in surprise.

How much time passed? I willingly accepted his deep kiss without any resistance, but when he unbuttoned my jacket and touched my breasts gently, I came to my senses. I was not supposed to do it at this time when the sun already rose in the sky.

I hurriedly raised my body and squinted at him. Normally, he would have adjusted my dishevelled clothes, but this time he didn’t show any reaction. Instead, he looked at me quietly, then hugged me tightly all of a sudden before I said something to him.

“Your Majesty?”

When I called him in a low voice, curious about his actions, he kissed my temple lightly and said, “Are you going to kill me?”

“Pardon? What do you mean…”

“You gave me a morning kiss, right? Do you know how much I was surprised? My heart might have exploded when you kissed me!”

“…”

I knew I was taken in again. When I was silent with a sullen expression, he giggled at me and tugged me closer to him. He said, burying his head in a lock of my long hair hanging loose.

“Whew…I really don’t want to get up. It’s because you are so pretty. ”

“… Your Majesty.”

“By the way, why did you get up so early? Besides, you’re already done dressing.”

“Well, I didn’t get up that early. The sun is already up in the sky. Besides, you don’t sleep a lot, I’m not a sleepy head, either.”

When I answered in a sullen voice, he laughed loudly again. Then he gently put his lips on my forehead and got up with a sigh.

“I think I have to get up now. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’m going to ruin my schedule including the meeting today.”

Giggling at his annoyed tone, I pulled the string. Even though it’s already been six months since I got married to him, I always felt refreshed whenever he showed such actions. I felt warm in my heart.

“Excuse me, Your Highness. What can I do for you?”

“Let me prepare the official robes for the emperor, so you can help him with washing. Lina, can you come here for a minute?”

While he was being served by the maids who just came in, Lina came to me and tied up my dress. While adjusting my dress and combing my hair again, Lina seemed to have a lot to say to me. But I received his clothes from the maids, trying to ignore Lina’s glance, who was all smiles on her face.

When I was examining any wrinkles or blemishes on his clothes that were as white as snow, he already finished washing his face and waved at me lightly. I let the maids out and approached him. It’s almost one month that I have been in charge of preparing clothes for him since I initiated this job one month ago.

As if he was familiar with my serving, he gladly let me take care of his clothes with a satisfied expression, though I was still clumsy at it. When I adjusted his shirt and trousers, a waistcoat and a jacket, and finally the blue cravat, he lightly kissed my forehead and whispered low, “Thank you, Tia.”

“You’re welcome, Your Majesty. Are you comfortable now?”

“Very good.”

“Really? If you feel any inconvenience, please let me know right away instead of hiding it like you did last time. Do you know how embarrassed I was when someone tipped me off?”
