Chapter 442: Silly Argument
(From Demetrius's Perspective)
"The mansion is quite… spacious, but I see no sign of ostentation," Luc muttered. "Isn't this the dream house you always talked about as a kid?"
"Dem always wanted a house like this since childhood?" I asked, surprised.
"Yeah. He would always say that he doesn't like flashy things much, but still has them in the palace because he needs to show off since he is the King. If he was not a King, he would have a place like this, he used to say."
"Wow…," Ruby muttered. "I think this place matches His Highness's vibe."
"I think it is comfortable," Dem said calmly.
"What are you talking about? Are you not comfortable in the palace?" Luc asked mockingly.
"It must be a luxurious place, but I prefer the calmness of the kind of place I like," Dem said and looked at me. "Darling, don't just stand and talk to this fool. Take some rest."
"Uhm…," I mumbled. "But I am not tired."
"What is that thing?" Perita asked, pointing at the ceiling of the ballroom. The mansion was not small at all, even though not as fancy as the Imperial Palace.
"An eagle," Calix said.
"Are you sure that won't fall on our head if there is an earthquake?" Luc asked.
"That's a drawing," I said. "I was surprised too as to how realistic it is. Who drew it, by the way?"
"I have someone," Dem said.
"Who?" Luc asked.
"I forgot his name," Dem said.
"You really are ungrateful, aren't you?"
"Well, you guys would like to take a look around?" I asked.
"But you will rest," Dem said clearly.
"Alright…," I sighed. Dem was too protective and thought I was always tired just because I was pregnant. Although it was true that I was fatigued often, it did not mean I needed to rest all the time.
In the end, I was sent back to my room. Dem also came with me to massage my back. Others were to look around the mansion. The two maids who came with us were also with them. Dem had forgotten about bringing a cook. I realized we were forgetting something right before our departure.
Then, we hastily pulled the cook of the palace with us. Doctor Dimitri would come two days later as he needed to prepare a few things. He actually was making another medicine for me to help with my dizziness.
"Lie down on the bed," Dem said. "I will give you a massage."
I could not say no to a massage. It always felt good, especially when he was the one giving it. His hands were very firm which felt pretty good when he pressed my skin. I always envied him and wished I had such firm hands every time I massaged him.
"Can you unzip my dress?"
He walked up behind me and moved my hair. I was not sure if he was doing it on purpose, but I could feel him pressing his lower half against my butt more than necessary. Actually, it was not necessary at all.
'This horny dude…'
I decided not to say anything. Besides, I did not really hate it.
I always only wore my undergarments or a nightgown when we were alone in our bedroom. During massage times, I wore my undergarments, since they were very comfortable. The bras I wore here were not as uncomfortable as the ones I wore in my world.
I climbed on the bed and lay down on my stomach. I felt him climbing on the bed after me.
He started massaging my back. It felt good, too good actually.
"Is it good?"
"Uh-huh…"
"The pressure is not too much, right?"
"It's fine," I said.
"I'm glad."
"But, Dem…"
"Yes?" he asked innocently.
"Do you think a massage of the back should include touching my butt every now and then?"
"Well…," he muttered, still massaging my butt cheeks with one hand.
"Well?"
"My massage does," he said.
"… Really?"
"Just relax."
He massaged my back with one hand while the other kept fondling my butt cheeks, even more freely and frequently after I confronted him.
"Hn…"
Dem seemed to get more excited as I let a sound out. He started to slowly go between my legs with his fingers, from under my undergarment.
"Dem…"
"Just relax, my love. I am merely giving you a massage."
"Ah…!" I let out quite a loud moan as his finger touched my vagina directly.
He got too excited. Forget massaging my back, he was not completely engrossed in something else.
He bent his back and kissed me behind my ear which was followed my licking my earlobe.
"Uhh…"
*click*
"Oh?"
Dem and I both looked towards the door at once. I got up so quickly that I almost hit my head against the bed frame.
"My apologies!" the maid quickly said.
I could understand why she did not think we would in the middle of this, considering the time. Maybe she thought Dem was not with me, since Dem told them he would go to his office in the mansion. He stayed in the office for only five minutes, then came to the bedroom straight away. But they did not know that.
What about Dem then? He could read mind. Why did he not say anything or stop?
"Can't you knock?" Dem asked angrily.
"My sincere apologies, Your Highness… I thought Her Highness was sleeping and did not want to wake her up. I did not know Your Highness is in the room as well," she said.
"Knock nevertheless," I said. "I don't want to see the same mistake happening once more."
"Yes, Your Highness. I will keep it in mind," she said.
"Go now," I said.
"Yes… Please forgive me."
Even after she left, Dem looked quite angry. "You can read minds, Dem. Besides, you could hear her footsteps."
"I was too turned on… Anyway, my fucking erection is gone now!" he suddenly yelled.
"Don't yell… Gosh, honey…"
"She just ruined the mood! I need to change maids!" Continue reading at empire
"Dem…"
"She is a pervert too!"
"What…?"
"She is… I don't know which word to use, maybe fascinated by our love story and wanted to see us together. Why did she never think that way before? I wouldn't have brought her here in the first place then. She thought we would juts kiss, but we got beyond that and she ended up making noise.
Additionally, she is an artist and wanted to take inspiration from us together to work on a new project," he said.
"What… the…? Really? That's new…"
"I knew she is an artist. Like, I read her mind and found out one day. But the fact that she wanted to use us as inspiration is new."
"I think it's cool!"
"No, we are not supposed to think that way. You should get offended."
"Should I?" I muttered. "Although it is not okay that she was looking at us secretly when we were in the middle of something, but as you said, she did not know we would go far. Of course, it's not okay. But as long as she doesn't cross the line and her actions her harmless, I see no problem. I mean, she can watch us secretly when we are enjoying quality time together."
"I don't understand how that's okay. That's like we are being stalked in our own fucking house!"
Forget doing anything sexual or romantic, Dem and I spent an entire hour arguing about whether the maid's action was okay or not. In the end, Dem won the argument and I had to admit it was not right.
Luc went out in the evening to check the barriers and came back at night with a proud look.
"Who would make such a strong barrier if not me?" he stated proudly.
"I have never seen someone praise themselves like this," Ruby said.
"You will see it more. He is a real ass," Dem said calmly.
"Go and make it then, if you can!" Luc snapped.
"I am not a mage. That's your job. If I was, I would have done better," Dem said.
Both of them were the types of people who liked to boast about their ability. It was childish, but most of the time, they were actually capable of doing the things they boasted about.
"It's pointless talking to you. You are a pain in the ass, aren't you?" Luc grumbled as he sat down beside Ruby on the couch. We all gathered in the living room to relax.
"You are being a brat because no one agrees," Dem laughed mockingly.
"Come on. Luc truly did a great job. What would we have done without you?" I said. "I am really grateful…!"
