Wife of The Demon Prince
Chapter 148: Unfair treatment!

Chapter 148: Unfair treatment!

Ara quickly held her burning knee, she’d never had made such mistake under normal circumstances, her vision was keenly honed on the battlefield, but she’d foolishly hit her knee now!

It burned really badly, Ara leaned down and held her painful knee, at the same time all her frustrations from earlier welled up in her. She felt like kicking the stool and smashing it to pieces.

’Stupid stool!’ She’d make sure to get rid of it tomorrow! Just as Ara was cursing the lifeless stool internally, she felt someone approaching her in the dark, when she glanced up, she saw a dark silhouette, with his red eyes mysteriously shining dimly in the dark. For a moment Ara’s heart jolted in fright, Hamon looked like a wild beast in the dark.

She then heard his voice, "You hurt yourself, right?" Just by his tone she knew he was displeased at the thought of her being injured.

Ara quickly hid her burning knee under her dress, not knowing he could see her clearly, she replied calmly, "No, I’m fine."

"Don’t lie to me, wife. I know you are hurt." As he spoke he hurriedly strode towards her, however she quickly exclaimed, "Don’t come closer!" She blurted.

Hamon froze on the spot. Ara hadn’t meant to blurt it out like that, she was only trying to avoid any contact with him. She didn’t want these feelings to come between her thoughts. She said again, "I am not hurt, just go back to bed." She assured.

Although it was impossible for her to see in the dark room, but somehow Ara knew Hamon had that stupid amused smirk on his face, he then said, "Why should I listen to you now that I’m already out of bed?"

Hamon resumed to walk towards her again, before she knew it, he was already beside her, she heard his smooth deep voice beside her ear, "Didn’t I tell you before, I can sense your nervousness. You are not doing good at hiding it. Are you?"

His voice alone was enough to spread warmth to her body. "I can sense it now, wife."

Before she could defend herself, she opened her mouth to retort, but Hamon’s arms came under her waist and knees and swiftly lifted her into his arms, "Hamon! Put me down."

The corner of his mouth slightly tugged up, "You are really silly, wife. Why the heck did you turn off all the lights when you are not yet in bed?"

"...!"

Hamon walked towards the bed carrying her in his arms as if she weighed nothing. In the short distance, Ara felt an oddly tickling peculiar sensation. He then carefully placed her on the bed, however it didn’t end there. He sat on the bed beside her legs with his one knee folded on the bed, before he slightly raised her dress and took Ara’s slender leg on his thigh to inspect her injured knee.

"Let me know when it hurts, if it hurts too much, I’ll call the royal physician to check you up." After saying that, he carefully started to press her burning knee, it hurt but she held it in, it would be too much of a fuss to call the royal physicians this late. However, she was more focused on his hand pressing on her knee, his palm felt hot on her skin. His body temperature was higher than she’d expected.

Ara’s face heat up when his hand massaging her knee slightly brushed up to her thigh, she was grateful it was dark and he couldn’t see her face. Hamon suddenly pressed on the hurtful spot, and Ara quickly hissed as she drew her leg away from his thigh but quickly said, "It doesn’t hurt...I don’t need a physician, really. I just want to sleep." She lied.

"Don’t give me that excuse, I know it hurts. I’ll call the physician." He remarked as he drew back her leg from under her dress again. Looking at Hamon’s red eyes in the dark, she couldn’t help but feel once more he was a man who crossed lines freely. The more she tried to avoid him, the more entangled she became.

Ara pushed away her thoughts and said, "It really doesn’t hurt, I don’t think you should call the physician at this time of the night. If I wake up tomorrow and if it still hurts, You can call the physician."

Hamon frown disapprovingly, but he didn’t insist, and said, "Alright, let’s see tomorrow then." He stood up and gently pushed her to lay down before pulling the blanket to her neck, he made sure to cover her properly, she looked at him in astonishment, he then patted her head like a child, "Go to sleep now."

After saying that, he turned away and made to his side of the bed. As Ara watched his silhouette walk away and then recline onto the bed. Her heart began it’s marathon in her chest again, she glanced towards him in the dark, and thought this was really going to be a long night for her.

__

In the east wing of the crown Prince’s residence inside one of the guest rooms, Oliver sat with an old man. He had been busy the whole day, he had gathered all the servants for Ara. Then later the crown Prince had almost smashed his head because he didn’t report about the gift the queen sent to his wife.

How was that his fault? He had went looking for the Prince, but only found out he went to the royal council meeting. Hamon would normally go with him, but he went alone this time. So could someone tell him how was it his fault for reporting late?

And now he was ordered by the crown Prince to stay all night with the poison expert to examine the perfumes. The expert was the best in Findara, and bringing the old man here was not easy at all. He had to threaten the man by saying; "It is the crown Prince’s order, if you don’t come with me, Your entire family will be wiped out!"

The old man had quickly followed him, because he’d heard rumors about the crown Prince, and wouldn’t want to go against him. But now Oliver had no choice but to watch the man get it done.

Oliver couldn’t help but sigh, this treatment was really unfair to the poor him. He had been sitting here for hours, while most people would be there sleeping peacefully in their warm chambers, with their wife in their arms, and yes he was talking about the crown Prince!

Ara hadn’t given him a deadline, but the crown Prince had given his orders to make sure to get it done tonight or else...

Or else he’d be replaced with that new guy! Humph! That new guy better not show his stupid face in the palace again.

Oliver had been complaining internally the whole time, even though he wasn’t doing anything but sitting comfortably on the couch with his legs placed on the table, while there was a set of empty plates of food on one side, which he’d used to have a sumptuous meal. However, he still thought this treatment was unfair. He had been cursing the crown Prince ever since he sat in the room.

He couldn’t help but think Ara was a match for the Prince. When he first met Ara, he was stunned by her dazzling beauty, moreover she wasn’t just a beauty, but a beauty with brains. The princess might not realize it, but Hamon had changed immensely since he met her.

Knowing how the crown Prince was before, Oliver could safely say that the Prince had become more human than before, he had changed from his ways of shedding blood carelessly to actually building restraint because of her, in fact, his temper had become even better.

_He hadn’t killed anybody for any slightest mistakes, or changed to that thing..._ he thought.

So it was true, the only thing that could put an angry beast to rest was a beauty. Their beast of a Prince had calmed down now, he just hoped no one would trigger the beast to awaken again. A smile spread on Oliver’s face. Their crown princess was really a beast tamer!

The old man who been quietly doing his work on the desk, there was a slight frown on his aged face with his eyes narrowed on what he was doing. He suddenly glanced towards Oliver with a deep frown as the dropped his tools, "It’s done, sire..."

Oliver quickly put his legs down and strode towards the man, "Did you find out what was mixed with the perfumes?"

"Yes...Cusida leaf has been mixed with each of the bottles. A large amount of it...this perfume is really dangerous to any woman, Sire."

Oliver who had no idea what Cusida was asked for a more detailed explanation. And so the old man explained everything to him. Oliver was shocked beyond words, he had an ominous feeling knowing that the queen had sent it, but he hadn’t realized it would be to this extent.

A serious light glimmered in his eyes as he listened to the old man’s explanation.
