Chapter 41. The Bride''s Scream?

    ?

    ……crazy.?

    ?

    Roselyn quickly averted her gaze and looked out the window.?

    ?

    She didn’t want to, but her face kept heating up. It reminded her of the night a few days ago when she had ‘helped’ him from his power overload.?

    ?

    Just thinking about it made her whole body red and her lower stomach feel numb.?

    ?

    “…Is that the only way to release your power outburst?”?

    ?

    “Probably.”?

    ?

    She scowled at Tamon. The fact that he was smiling so nonchalantly made her think that he wouldn’t tell her if there was another way.?

    ?

    To think she has to go through that again…?

    ?

    The dying climax, the pleasure that came one after the other, the intensity of the pounding that was so intense that it felt cruel, caused Roselyn to collapse several times.?

    ?

    But, when she decided to be his partner, she was prepared for it to some extent. ……..?

    ?

    “Is there a problem?”?

    ?

    Tamon asked back with a look on his face that made it clear he was teasing her. Roselyn didn’t say anything, just glared at him and took a few swallows of ice water.?

    ?

    As careful as she was when making decisions, she rarely reversed her mind once she had made it.?

    ?

    It was one of Roseline’s small beliefs.?

    ?

    “Many.”?

    ?

    “Is that right? I thought so.”?

    ?

    She hated his face that was smiling so strangely at her earlier. While she was wondering if she should step on his foot, Tamon’s plate was filled once more.?

    ?

    Unlike before, it was light seafood. She glanced at him, wondering if the carnivore would finally finish his meal.?

    ?

    “It’s called Sarfish Oyster, but it’s not easy to get.”?

    ?

    He described the seafood on his plate.?

    ?

    “Sarfish oysters are oysters, aren’t they?” ?

    ?

    “Yes, they are. They only come out this time of year, but they are very popular.”?

    ?

    “They must taste good.”?

    ?

    “Well, yes, it is.”?

    ?

    Tamon chuckled as he picked the oyster and placed it on her small plate.?

    ?

    “You should try it. It’s an interesting taste.”?

    ?

    Roselyn couldn’t resist her curiosity, so she cut the oyster in half and popped it into her mouth.?

    ?

    It was very tender and had a savory taste, perhaps because it was cooked. In between the creamy texture, she could taste something crunchy, and Tamon was right, it was quite an interesting taste.?

    ?

    Roselyn nodded to indicate that she agreed with him, and Tamon, who was watching the scene with a smile on his face, keeping his chin propped up, added.?

    ?

    “That oyster has a nickname. Aren’t you curious?”?

    ?

    “What is it?”?

    ?

    “The bride’s scream.”?

    ?

    It was a bizarre nickname.?

    ?

    ‘Does it mean it tastes so good that it makes you scream? …… By the way, why the bride of all people?’?

    ?

    Roselyn took the other half piece of the cut oyster and brought it to her mouth again. Tamon, who was staring at her lips as she munched, added an explanation.?

    ?

    “It’s a food usually eaten on the first night of marriage. Eating it forces the bride to scream out at night…”?

    ?

    “Kak! Kak! Kak!” Roselyn coughed.?

    ?

    “…I understand that such a situation will be created. Good. Today we can check to see if that nickname is real.”?

    ?

    “Tamon Krasis!”?

    ?

    Roselyn glared at him with a bright red face and threw the fork she was holding with a pop.?

    ?

    Tamon dodged the flying fork and laughed out loud.?

    ?

    The low tone with laughter spread widely. Roselyn kicked his shin under the table, as she thought a moment ago.?

    ?

    “Ugh.”?

    ?

    He laughed when she punched him last time, and he laughed again this time for what it’s worth.?

    ?

    “I can’t believe you kicked my leg. What a naughty mistress.”?

    ?

    “Please shut up.”?

    ?

    “As you wish.”?

    ?

    Tamon closed his mouth mischievously. Roselyn turned quickly to the side and stared at the waves shimmering in the sunlight.?

    ?

    She thought that the waves swaying in the wind were just like her, but she bit her lips and erased useless thoughts.?

    ?

    The sound of Tamon’s laughter echoed quietly, as if he was trying to hold back.?

    ?

    The revived heart beat violently.?

    ?

    ***?

    ?

    Ronasso Bashel came to Tamon’s mansion in a hurry.?

    ?

    He told the chamberlain that he had something to tell Tamon right now, but Tamon hadn’t shown up yet.?

    ?

    “Did he drown in the hot water and die, and why hasn’t he come?”?

    ?

    Ronasso hurriedly circled the room. More than thirty minutes had passed since Tamon had gone to wash up.?

    ?

    Before Ronasso came, Tamon had already entered the bath, so about 40 minutes had passed.?

    ?

    “No, is he the new groom who is grooming himself on the first night or what? Why is he taking so long?”?

    ?

    After waiting for another twenty minutes, Ronasso finally lost his patience and was just about to go find him.?

    ?

    Quickly, the door opened and a drenched Tamon walked in with a particularly clear face.?

    ?

    “What’s the matter with you? Why did you come at this late night?”?

    ?

    Tamon, whose face was dirty and wrinkled compared to his clear, clean face, looked unpleasant and spoke to Ronasso.?

    ?

    “Why so long…ah, what is it? Did you enter the land of perfumes?”?

    ?

    A cool, refreshing scent could be detected from the approaching Tamon. Ronasso looked at Tamon with slightly surprised eyes.?

    ?

    “I thought you said you didn’t want scented water. Then you said you didn’t like herbs either.”?

    ?

    “People change, you know.”?

    ?

    Tamon said flatly and sat leaning back on the couch.?

    ?

    His beautiful face looked a little more excited today, and he also looked impatient.?

    ?

    “What is it ……?”?

    ?

    When Ronasso narrowed his eyes at the subtle change in his best friend, Tamon urged him nervously.?

    ?

    “I thought you said it was urgent. What are you looking at?”?

    ?

    “Oh, that’s right. Did you know that His Majesty has also put a watch on my residence? When I was coming over, I saw them hiding outside your residence as well.”?

    ?

    “Leave it be. He’s not the one who would let you go just because you’re angry.”?

    ?

    Ronasso jumped up and down at Tamon’s carefree words.?

    ?

    “What if he finds out?” ?

    ?

    “He already knows.”?

    ?

    “What do you mean?”?

    ?

    Ronasso wondered if Tamon had wings on his buttocks. He rose higher than before.?

    ?

    “How?”?

    ?

    “He came in. Our great Majesty. He opened other people’s bedrooms without hesitation.”?

    ?

    “And what did you do?”?

    ?

    “I made up a rough story. I said that I brought a slave who looked like her.”?

    ?

    “Did he believe you?”?

    ?

    “If he believed me, there wouldn’t be people outside watching me like that.”?

    ?

    “Oh.”?

    ?

    With a blank face, Ronasso looked out the window.?

    ?

    Those people couldn’t have gotten inside the high raised walls anyway.?

    ?

    Tamon’s private escort team was wary of the surroundings, and the shadows guarding him must also be keeping an eye out somewhere.?

    ?

    Only those who were allowed could enter Tamon’s private residence.?

    ?

    Even the King could only bring five guards authorized by the owner.?

    ?

    It was a subtle refraction of this relationship, bound together by loyalty and trust.?

    ?

    The King showed that he trusted Tamon as accompanied by a minimum escort, and Tamon proved his loyalty by allowing the king to enter his residence at any time.?

    ?

    “…But he still put surveillance outside. It’s really an ironic relationship, knowing that and leaving the gate open with impunity.”?

    ?

    Ronasso paced around irritably, ruffling his hair.?

    ?

    “If the king is suspicious, the truth may be revealed at any time. What are you going to do?”?

    ?

    “If he finds out that she’s that woman, he will definitely try to hurt her.”?

    ?

    The king, Theo Lantifu, hated Tanatos.?

    ?

    The word disgust was not enough. Yes, the emotion was close to hatred.?

    ?

    Tanatos’ predecessor made Amor King kneel in front them and his brothers.?

    ?

    Thousands and tens of thousands of Tanatos soldiers watched as the king of Amor kneel down and kiss Emperor Tanatos on the back of his feet.?

    ?

    And he saved the lives of some 12,000 people.?

    ?

    Even though they lost part of their territory and some of their fertile islands, they were able to keep their children’s parents, siblings, old people, and soldiers alive.?

    ?

    That day was called the Day of Sorrows.?

    ?

    In the agreement signed that day, Amor was promised 100 years of peace.?

    ?

    It all came to a cruel end because of one traitor.?

    ?

    Marcus.?

    ?

    He was the one who betrayed his own country, handed over the information, and fled to Tanatos.?

    ?

    Tamon was the one who found the traitor who had been hiding in plain sight and executed him thoroughly.?

    ?

    The one who instructed Tamon was none other than Theo.?

    ?

    In any case, the King hated Tanatos, and he hated everything about stepping on that land and seeing the royal family of that land.?

    ?

    So Tamon took care of all the diplomatic activities going that way.?

    ?

    If it was known that Tamon had secretly taken the woman who was the Empress of that country, no matter how important Tamon was, he would not be able to avoid a conflict with the king.?

    ?

    “No matter how much he suspected, it’s all useless if there’s no confirmation. A person who looks alike can appear at any time.”?

    ?

    Tamon looked indifferent as he crossed his legs and pulled out a cigar to chew on.?

    ?

    When Tamon, who was looking for a fire, flinched, he put down the cigar he was holding.?

    ?

    “And what if he found  evidence? Do you think he can take her away from me?”?

    ?

    Smirking, Tamon leaned back on the couch and lifted his head.?

    ?

    He looked at the air with a sluggish expression, his demeanor somewhat rambling.?

    ?

    Well, when he was not like that??

    ?

    Ronasso looked at Tamon with a bit of concern, and then took a step back.?

    ?

    ‘Well, he knows what to do better than I do. I should stop worrying…’?

    ?

    Ronasso took out a small jewelry box that he had hidden in his pocket. ?

    ?

    When the lid opened, a ring with a brilliant green sapphire was revealed. Glancing at the jewelry box, Tamon shook his head and murmured seriously.?

    ?

    “Oh, I don’t look good in green…” ?

    ?

    Tamon flushed at Ronasso, as if he didn’t know. ?

    ?

    Ronasso firmly said to Tamon as if he was dumbfounded. ?

    ?

    “I’m not giving it to you. Are you crazy?”
