Chapter 41. The Bride''s Scream?
?
……crazy.?
?
Roselyn quickly averted her gaze and looked out the window.?
?
She didn’t want to, but her face kept heating up. It reminded her of the night a few days ago when she had ‘helped’ him from his power overload.?
?
Just thinking about it made her whole body red and her lower stomach feel numb.?
?
“…Is that the only way to release your power outburst?”?
?
“Probably.”?
?
She scowled at Tamon. The fact that he was smiling so nonchalantly made her think that he wouldn’t tell her if there was another way.?
?
To think she has to go through that again…?
?
The dying climax, the pleasure that came one after the other, the intensity of the pounding that was so intense that it felt cruel, caused Roselyn to collapse several times.?
?
But, when she decided to be his partner, she was prepared for it to some extent. ……..?
?
“Is there a problem?”?
?
Tamon asked back with a look on his face that made it clear he was teasing her. Roselyn didn’t say anything, just glared at him and took a few swallows of ice water.?
?
As careful as she was when making decisions, she rarely reversed her mind once she had made it.?
?
It was one of Roseline’s small beliefs.?
?
“Many.”?
?
“Is that right? I thought so.”?
?
She hated his face that was smiling so strangely at her earlier. While she was wondering if she should step on his foot, Tamon’s plate was filled once more.?
?
Unlike before, it was light seafood. She glanced at him, wondering if the carnivore would finally finish his meal.?
?
“It’s called Sarfish Oyster, but it’s not easy to get.”?
?
He described the seafood on his plate.?
?
“Sarfish oysters are oysters, aren’t they?” ?
?
“Yes, they are. They only come out this time of year, but they are very popular.”?
?
“They must taste good.”?
?
“Well, yes, it is.”?
?
Tamon chuckled as he picked the oyster and placed it on her small plate.?
?
“You should try it. It’s an interesting taste.”?
?
Roselyn couldn’t resist her curiosity, so she cut the oyster in half and popped it into her mouth.?
?
It was very tender and had a savory taste, perhaps because it was cooked. In between the creamy texture, she could taste something crunchy, and Tamon was right, it was quite an interesting taste.?
?
Roselyn nodded to indicate that she agreed with him, and Tamon, who was watching the scene with a smile on his face, keeping his chin propped up, added.?
?
“That oyster has a nickname. Aren’t you curious?”?
?
“What is it?”?
?
“The bride’s scream.”?
?
It was a bizarre nickname.?
?
‘Does it mean it tastes so good that it makes you scream? …… By the way, why the bride of all people?’?
?
Roselyn took the other half piece of the cut oyster and brought it to her mouth again. Tamon, who was staring at her lips as she munched, added an explanation.?
?
“It’s a food usually eaten on the first night of marriage. Eating it forces the bride to scream out at night…”?
?
“Kak! Kak! Kak!” Roselyn coughed.?
?
“…I understand that such a situation will be created. Good. Today we can check to see if that nickname is real.”?
?
“Tamon Krasis!”?
?
Roselyn glared at him with a bright red face and threw the fork she was holding with a pop.?
?
Tamon dodged the flying fork and laughed out loud.?
?
The low tone with laughter spread widely. Roselyn kicked his shin under the table, as she thought a moment ago.?
?
“Ugh.”?
?
He laughed when she punched him last time, and he laughed again this time for what it’s worth.?
?
“I can’t believe you kicked my leg. What a naughty mistress.”?
?
“Please shut up.”?
?
“As you wish.”?
?
Tamon closed his mouth mischievously. Roselyn turned quickly to the side and stared at the waves shimmering in the sunlight.?
?
She thought that the waves swaying in the wind were just like her, but she bit her lips and erased useless thoughts.?
?
The sound of Tamon’s laughter echoed quietly, as if he was trying to hold back.?
?
The revived heart beat violently.?
?
***?
?
Ronasso Bashel came to Tamon’s mansion in a hurry.?
?
He told the chamberlain that he had something to tell Tamon right now, but Tamon hadn’t shown up yet.?
?
“Did he drown in the hot water and die, and why hasn’t he come?”?
?
Ronasso hurriedly circled the room. More than thirty minutes had passed since Tamon had gone to wash up.?
?
Before Ronasso came, Tamon had already entered the bath, so about 40 minutes had passed.?
?
“No, is he the new groom who is grooming himself on the first night or what? Why is he taking so long?”?
?
After waiting for another twenty minutes, Ronasso finally lost his patience and was just about to go find him.?
?
Quickly, the door opened and a drenched Tamon walked in with a particularly clear face.?
?
“What’s the matter with you? Why did you come at this late night?”?
?
Tamon, whose face was dirty and wrinkled compared to his clear, clean face, looked unpleasant and spoke to Ronasso.?
?
“Why so long…ah, what is it? Did you enter the land of perfumes?”?
?
A cool, refreshing scent could be detected from the approaching Tamon. Ronasso looked at Tamon with slightly surprised eyes.?
?
“I thought you said you didn’t want scented water. Then you said you didn’t like herbs either.”?
?
“People change, you know.”?
?
Tamon said flatly and sat leaning back on the couch.?
?
His beautiful face looked a little more excited today, and he also looked impatient.?
?
“What is it ……?”?
?
When Ronasso narrowed his eyes at the subtle change in his best friend, Tamon urged him nervously.?
?
“I thought you said it was urgent. What are you looking at?”?
?
“Oh, that’s right. Did you know that His Majesty has also put a watch on my residence? When I was coming over, I saw them hiding outside your residence as well.”?
?
“Leave it be. He’s not the one who would let you go just because you’re angry.”?
?
Ronasso jumped up and down at Tamon’s carefree words.?
?
“What if he finds out?” ?
?
“He already knows.”?
?
“What do you mean?”?
?
Ronasso wondered if Tamon had wings on his buttocks. He rose higher than before.?
?
“How?”?
?
“He came in. Our great Majesty. He opened other people’s bedrooms without hesitation.”?
?
“And what did you do?”?
?
“I made up a rough story. I said that I brought a slave who looked like her.”?
?
“Did he believe you?”?
?
“If he believed me, there wouldn’t be people outside watching me like that.”?
?
“Oh.”?
?
With a blank face, Ronasso looked out the window.?
?
Those people couldn’t have gotten inside the high raised walls anyway.?
?
Tamon’s private escort team was wary of the surroundings, and the shadows guarding him must also be keeping an eye out somewhere.?
?
Only those who were allowed could enter Tamon’s private residence.?
?
Even the King could only bring five guards authorized by the owner.?
?
It was a subtle refraction of this relationship, bound together by loyalty and trust.?
?
The King showed that he trusted Tamon as accompanied by a minimum escort, and Tamon proved his loyalty by allowing the king to enter his residence at any time.?
?
“…But he still put surveillance outside. It’s really an ironic relationship, knowing that and leaving the gate open with impunity.”?
?
Ronasso paced around irritably, ruffling his hair.?
?
“If the king is suspicious, the truth may be revealed at any time. What are you going to do?”?
?
“If he finds out that she’s that woman, he will definitely try to hurt her.”?
?
The king, Theo Lantifu, hated Tanatos.?
?
The word disgust was not enough. Yes, the emotion was close to hatred.?
?
Tanatos’ predecessor made Amor King kneel in front them and his brothers.?
?
Thousands and tens of thousands of Tanatos soldiers watched as the king of Amor kneel down and kiss Emperor Tanatos on the back of his feet.?
?
And he saved the lives of some 12,000 people.?
?
Even though they lost part of their territory and some of their fertile islands, they were able to keep their children’s parents, siblings, old people, and soldiers alive.?
?
That day was called the Day of Sorrows.?
?
In the agreement signed that day, Amor was promised 100 years of peace.?
?
It all came to a cruel end because of one traitor.?
?
Marcus.?
?
He was the one who betrayed his own country, handed over the information, and fled to Tanatos.?
?
Tamon was the one who found the traitor who had been hiding in plain sight and executed him thoroughly.?
?
The one who instructed Tamon was none other than Theo.?
?
In any case, the King hated Tanatos, and he hated everything about stepping on that land and seeing the royal family of that land.?
?
So Tamon took care of all the diplomatic activities going that way.?
?
If it was known that Tamon had secretly taken the woman who was the Empress of that country, no matter how important Tamon was, he would not be able to avoid a conflict with the king.?
?
“No matter how much he suspected, it’s all useless if there’s no confirmation. A person who looks alike can appear at any time.”?
?
Tamon looked indifferent as he crossed his legs and pulled out a cigar to chew on.?
?
When Tamon, who was looking for a fire, flinched, he put down the cigar he was holding.?
?
“And what if he found evidence? Do you think he can take her away from me?”?
?
Smirking, Tamon leaned back on the couch and lifted his head.?
?
He looked at the air with a sluggish expression, his demeanor somewhat rambling.?
?
Well, when he was not like that??
?
Ronasso looked at Tamon with a bit of concern, and then took a step back.?
?
‘Well, he knows what to do better than I do. I should stop worrying…’?
?
Ronasso took out a small jewelry box that he had hidden in his pocket. ?
?
When the lid opened, a ring with a brilliant green sapphire was revealed. Glancing at the jewelry box, Tamon shook his head and murmured seriously.?
?
“Oh, I don’t look good in green…” ?
?
Tamon flushed at Ronasso, as if he didn’t know. ?
?
Ronasso firmly said to Tamon as if he was dumbfounded. ?
?
“I’m not giving it to you. Are you crazy?”
