Lust and Anger

All the people of Rosehallow were preparing to welcome Prince Agenor's army. All the talk in the cafes, the streets, and the markets spoke only of the greatness of Prince Agenor. So did the maids in the prince's castle.

"Again, the Prince has defeated the Valcke royal army in the north," said a round-faced maid holding a broom.

"Don't forget, he also conquered a new town." said the curly-haired maid who cleaned the statues with a duster.

They were silent. As royal slaves obtained from the war, they still clearly remembered the pain of losing their loved ones.

"At least Prince Agenor treats us well here. So, I think we are lucky." The blonde-haired maid spoke up.

"Lucky, you say? He hit even killed the maids and guards!" The round-faced maid denied it. "He is not like his step-brother, Prince Federline."

The blonde-haired woman put her index finger in front of her lips. "Watch your mouth if you want to live. There's no smoke if there's no fire~."

The three maids fell silent for a moment when they saw the princess of Ruxenia walking down the hall with Gregory.

"Look at that woman; since there's been no Prince Agenor, she's pretentious. Whereas, she's just a mistress, " said the oval-faced maid, lowering her face.

"You'd better shut up if you don't want to die silly. The prince likes that woman." The curly-haired maid warned.

When Syrena passed in front of the three maids, they all fell silent again, lowering their heads.

"Continue with your work!" said the brunette princess as she walked away.

After Princess Syrena walked away, the round-faced maid spoke again. "I still don't understand why Prince Agenor made her a mistress if he likes her." Then he laughed.

"You better shut up. You don't understand political affairs." The blonde-haired maid became annoyed and then left the two maids.

"What about you? Are you a smart maid to understand political matters?" asked the round-faced maid to the curly-haired maid while laughing?

"I don't know, so I'd better shut up. I still want to live longer. I have done sweeping. Bye!"

Arrived at Prince Agenor's baths, Gregory waited outside the bathroom. Meanwhile, the maids greeted the brunette princess cheerfully.

The scent of roses filled the bathroom. The smell made her more relaxed.

"This is your special day, Your Majesty. It's time to welcome Prince Agenor in the best way possible." said a maid with straight hair and bangs.

Syrena took the maid's words casually; then, she let the maids undress and help her clean up her body.

A beautiful navy dress has been prepared, as well as hair accessories, earrings, bracelets and necklaces. Everything was prepared well by the nimble servants of Prince Agenor's castle.

After the princess finished bathing, the maids dried her body and helped her get dressed.

"Even you haven't make-up, your beauty has surpassed the full moon, Your Majesty," said a maid.

The beauty that has surpassed the full moon is an admiration expression of one's beauty in the Lagardioz kingdom.

"Thanks," Syrena replied curtly.

Deftly and enthusiastically, the maids dressed up the brunette princess of Ruxenia.

"This is a trending perfume among the Angelhelm royals. Just wear this. I hope Prince Agenor likes it." The maid with brown hair and grey eyes held out a tiny glass bottle.

Syrena grabbed the bottle and dripped it on her wrist. She inhaled the scent for a moment—the aroma dominated by soft, comfortable, and seductive vanilla.

"Okey."

The princess liked the perfume and then used it. She looked at herself in the mirror, and she was beautiful.

[suppose today I met a man who loves me sincerely.]

"Your Majesty, are you ready?" asked a maid.

"Yes."

Then Syrena walked down the corridor. Behind her were the maids following her.

On the castle grounds, she stood with the maids and guards, awaiting the arrival of the most incredible man in Rosehallow.

After a long wait on the castle grounds, finally, the sound of trumpets and drums mingled to enliven the atmosphere.

A tall and sturdy man flew into the castle grounds, followed by the lieutenant generals and his soldiers. He was wearing armour that was dusty with some dried bloodstains.

Inevitably, along the streets of Rosehallow, all eyes were on the second prince of Lagardioz. Some of them were amazed because of the greatness and wings attached to his back.

While the women screamed hysterically, watching the aura of the white-haired prince's handsomeness.

"Prince Agenor is more handsome with his new look!" Exclaimed, a girl in a pink dress stood on the side of the road.

"You're right, and his good looks are inhuman. But I'm still scared to see his long, pointy fingernails." Another girl joined in the conversation. She looked worried.

Whatever it was, everyone discussed the second prince of Lagardioz everywhere.

After entering the castle grounds and past the golden statue of Kheeth, the black-winged prince stopped in front of Syrena.

He stared at the brunette princess, causing him both lustful and angry. She looked elegant in a navy blue dress, and Pearl hair pin pulled her hair back.

The brunette princess pays respects to her husband. Her rosebud earing swayed with her move.

[You're starting to act, huh? I can't wait to play with you.]

Agenor stared at Syrena's neck, adorned with a necklace of roses and gems. Her collarbone looks a little poping. In the black-winged prince's eyes, it looked sexy.

After that, they walk together into the castle. There was a small party in the courtyard and the castle hall to welcome the heroes.

Everyone looked enviously at the princess of Ruxenia, who was by Prince Agenor's side.

"You must be thirsty. Let's have a drink first."

Syrena asked the maid to get her a beer bottle and a glass.

"Where did you learn to greet me with beer?" Prince Agenor smirked when he took the glass in Syrena's hand and returned it to the table.

"I don't like getting drunk so that you know."

Syrena was so embarrassed that her cheeks turned red because Prince Agenor rebuked her.

She did that because of wanting to; her husband soon got drunk and fell asleep.

"But, I guess you're the one who's drunk," said Agenor while holding Syrena's cheek. But, She immediately dodged the touch.

"One month without seeing you causing me to want to devour you right now."

Syrena turned to the maid who happened to be passing beside her to avoid Prince Agenor's eyes.

"Please bring another drink for Prince Agenor."

The servant girl nodded obediently and then left Syrena's side.

"Don't pretend you don't care. I think you miss my touch too, right?"

After having been nervous for a moment, Syrena started her pretend again.

"Sure, My Prince. I missed you so much."

[Are you sure? I can't wait to see you begging me to make love to you.]

"Oke, So, I want to clean myself first. This party is too boring. Wait for me in the bedroom!"

Syrena suddenly felt uncomfortable. However, she soon caught her breath after Prince Agenor left her.

[Calm down, Syrena. Calmness allows you to think.]

After feeling calmer, Syrena immediately headed to Prince Agenor's room in the uppermost chamber of the castle. It takes extra energy and determination to get to the top room.

She sighed when she entered the prince's room and grabbed a glass of drink served on the table.

[The drink taste is a little strange. Uh! Who ordered this drink? Could it be Prince Agenor?]

Syrena waited for Prince Agenor on the sofa. After waiting, she felt her head dizzy, and her body felt hot.

[What happened to my body?]

The brunette princess was walking back and forth in the room. She fanned her body restlessly.
