Distraction

Having not met the alleged stableboy for nearly 1 week, Ariana dropped her thin silk dress off herself without a hitch, and immersed her body in the pleasantly cold water in the great heat.

'Finally… everything back to it's rightful space…'

Smiling, she took a deep breath and dived under the water to swim a few lengths.

However, when she came up to the surface of the water for air to her greatest surprise, she was not alone.

"Jü…"

She was almost calling him by his real name, when she remembered that she was naked in front of the lover.

"Ah!"

She hurried back into the water, but panicked when she saw the man approaching her.

'Surely he saw the marks… he must have realized everything…'

Jürgen's face was distorted mixed with feelings of anger… surprise… and horror. Ariana was paralyzed with fear for a moment, it was this moment she feared most of…

'Does he want to suffocate me? No… I don't want to die! '

She tried to escape in a hurry, but it was too late. Although Jürgen was much weaker compared to the Knights and Jerome, the fact that she faced a man didn't change anything ... he was much stronger than the girl. He pulled her close.

"Ahh!"

As the girl's body rose out of the water the bite marks came to light, Ariana didn't have a chance to think of shame… she was sure she wouldn't get out of the man's arms alive.

"What… the hell is this?"

The man spoke.

'Huh? This is not the reaction I expected… I thought he would grab my throat without thinking… maybe… I have another chance… '

She tried to quickly find a way out of the dangerous situation as she looked into the man's eyes.

"Jüzef! What did you thinking? "

Jürgen was also surprised for a moment at the prompt… remembered what his role was in Ariana's life. Hesitantly, he let go of her arm and took a step back.

"Bring me my clothes right away!"

She covered her breasts, seeing this, the man quickly took a glance sideway. Then he headed for the land for the dress.

"I understand… that you are surprised by… my sight, but these are no trace of beating. You don't have to worry about me, I know… that our relationship is close enough, we can almost call each other friends… and you're worried about me… "

She tried to distract the man with blabbering as she quickly pulled on her dress.

'He's more worried about Jerome's dick… I can't believe I'm spouting such bullshit …'

"But as you know my owner, who is also your ruler's word is law, and we must all obey… even if it is not to our liking…"

She grabbed his upper arm and tried to look as sad as she could.

'This will make you realize he is „basicly raping" me and I damn don't want all this… right?'

"I have to serve the king with my body - this is the purpose of my existence, so please… in the future, refrain from such manifestations."

She looked up to check the effect of the slightly exaggerated tale on Jürgen.

"Ariana… I…"

'Ah? Did he fell for it?'

Jürgen almost faced her with teary eyes. The pity was clear on his face, though there were still traces of anger.

"Jüzef!"

Fearing that the man would reveal his true identity and possibly some rival dispute would ensue, Ariana quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the stable to distract his attention.

"Come on, Ebony is waiting for you!"

He smiled.

"Oh… yes."

Throughout the morning, the girl kept getting Jürgen on it to watch for the marks on her body. It was at this time that she tried to direct the man's gaze to her face… the only point that was not adorned with blue-green spots.

After the usual 1-2 hours of smiling and charming, Jürgen finally headed back to the palace.

Although she saw that the man's behavior was strange, she could only hope… that their relationship would not deteriorate further.
