"If you want food, I can cook for you when I return! You running off to the mountains alone has me scared out of my wits at home. I can't even distinguish between salt and sugar!"
i came across this novel on webtoon and i was captivated. i can relate to Leyla's emotions but i wish she'd be more stronger later on. keep it up author
I looked at the math problem and blinked a few times. "I still maintain that the second the alphabet joins math, we have issues," I muttered. "I once heard a joke that said, "Dear Algebra, please stop asking me to look for your X, she left you, and I don't know Y."
She still had a child of unknown origin in her belly. If it was discovered that she was trying to deceive the royal family by bearing a child that wasn't of royal blood, that would mean death!
If she could, Annalise would like to flip the next person standing before her. It worked to knock some sense into Rafael. Why shouldn't it work for anyone else even if they were to be old?
"I've learned that it is only ladies who have the grace to keep their maids nearby. The servants spoke to me as if I was a member of your family at first. So quick to try pleasing me until I said that I am your maid. Where my room is must have confused them. I won't be surprised if gossip starts that I am your mistress. I have gotten used to it," Annalise answered.
Olivia liked the little show Annalise put on with Rafael since it more than confirmed that Annalise was the woman Rafael wanted. Annalise spoke so much about mistresses just to be one. Did Annalise think she would be lady of the manor one day? Olivia was here to wake up the poor soul.
"I did not get to see your match and I am not scared of you so please do not think that. I just think it is better that I look over here than at you. There is a beautiful tree over there with some kind of fruit. It is red-"
"Then it is fine. If you try something to make me uncomfortable, you will find yourself experiencing a kick that might rid you of any chance to have children. A kick that will have you tingling in that area for a week. Be mindful," Annalise warned him.
"It sounds like I was the only one listening to what she said. You have no chance with her so why should I bother to deny what I feel for you? It is not like I stole your woman. She does not belong to either one of us," Rafael answered.
"I speak to everyone enough. I prefer to be alone and I cannot help there is something I must look over daily. When I retire, I will be more like my father to have more of a relationship with all the servants. Can you hear me?" Rafael questioned since she looked lost in the food already for someone who did not want to eat at first.
"My knee? Oh," Annalise smiled as she realised where her foot was positioned. "I almost rid Beatrice of any chance to have a grandchild. You could always adopt, but your wife might not be happy."
"I could hold it for you and when someone comes around, I would do this," Annalise said, stepping in front of him to show how she would guard him. "You should get to enjoy the night without people staring at you or looking to approach you about marriage I assume. It is not like you could have covered yourself with a cloak since you are so big. Your height, I mean."
What would anyone think if they were to hear the internal battle he was having with himself? Before this got out of hand, he needed to speak with someone to get their honest opinion. Not his father who would tell his mother, the knights who would try searching for who he spoke of, the king's whose mouth could swallow the kingdom in one bite because of how big it was-
"I should have tried my chest tighter. These things are useless," she muttered, touching her breast. They only created a hassle for her to tie tightly to hide the fact that she was a woman whenever she snuck around. "I should just cut you off, but then mother would faint. How will you feed your children," she mimicked her mother.
