บท 269: Third Arc (Fallen Heart) - 33. The First Night I
Third Arc (Fallen Heart) - 33. The First Night I
Time passed and the night was getting late. The crowd in the hall dispersed away as the nobles left the castle one by one and the delegates returned to their rooms. The room that had been filled with laughter and music was now filled with servants busy cleaning the place.
Flare and his troops combed the castle once more to make sure there were no intruders left in the castle. Meanwhile, Angel interrogated the two assassins they had captured in prison. And Rose, she was already in the King's chamber.
Unlike the previous nights, the maids were so excited today. As soon as Rose finished bathing, they dried her body, smearing it with fragrance oil. Even after she came out of the bathroom, they combed and smoothed her hair as beautifully as possible. Although Rose was a little embarrassed by this, she couldn't say her complaint since all they knew was this was a special night for the royal couple.
The door opened and Angel entered the chamber. Everyone in the room swiftly bowed to him.
"Your Majesty," they greeted.
But Angel only answered them by raising his hand and continued to walk to the bathroom. He didn't even glance at them since his mind was too full. He had just used his Mind Corruption on the two assassins and didn't find any useful information from them since they were from the mercenary group. Although he was sure it was Ivetta who sent them, there was no information on her whereabouts.
While Rose could only look at him without saying anything. Her heart was pounding as she watched his figure. Her nervousness grew stronger since this was the first time she shared a bed with a man. A man who had become her husband. Even if they were just pretending, there were only the two of them in the room, who could guess what would happen behind the closed door. Moreover, everyone thought this was a real marriage and she had to act like one.
After the bathroom door closed, the maid went back to combing Rose's hair, one applied a light red dye to her lips and the other lit a fragrance candle to give the room a pleasant smell. Even though they didn't say anything, they were a little disappointed by Angel's cold attitude on his first night. So they decided to give all of their effort to ensure the success of Claire's plan. Moreover, Chancellor Allan was on their side.
"It's done, Your Highness," a maid said as soon as she finished combing her hair, as did the maid who put the red dye on her lips. While the others prepared her nightdress.
"Thank you," said Rose. This was the first time she had dressed up before going to bed. She stood up from her chair to change into her clothes and was stunned when she saw it. That nightdress didn't look like an ordinary dress. It was more like scandalous pieces of clothes. Although Rose was sure it was made of the finest materials, it was too thin. She was sure Angel could see her underwear if she wore it. It would also expose her cleavage.
"I know it may surprise you, Your Highness. But this is the special night dress for the royal couple's first wedding night. It's the Kingdom of Euphorion's tradition. What do you think, Your Highness? Do you like it?" said the maid with a smile. Actually, there was no such thing as the Kingdom of Euphorion's traditional nightdress. It was Claire's idea and Chancellor Allan bought it. They had prepared that excuse since Angel and Rose weren't from Euphorion, so they didn't know anything as detailed as this. After all, this minor tradition had never been recorded in any book or document.
Rose turned to the maid and pointed at the dress.
"You want me... to wear this?" she clarified. Her panic and embarrassment were evident on her face. Rose already knew that Angel had feelings for her and they asked her to wear those clothes? Wasn't that the same as giving a fish to a cat? Meanwhile even though Rose didn't deny she had the same feelings but his mysterious past and his dark powers were bugging her. There was no way she gave herself to him just yet.
"Yes, Your Highness. It's a tradition," said the other maid.
"Or... Do you want to disappoint the king?" another said in a disappointed tone.
"What are you talking about? The princess really loves the king. I'm sure she's just a little surprised," another replied.
Then their eyes fell on Rose, asking for her answer.
Rose forced herself to smile, which in the end only managed to create an awkward smile on her lips.
"Of course, I love the king. I-I'm just a little surprised since there's no tradition like this in Zephyrus." They were husband and wife who love each other, it would be weird if Rose refused something simple like this.
"Then let us help you to wear it," said the maids in excitement.
Rose just replied to them with silence as her mind was wondering, could she get through this night without anything happening between them?
