The principality of Bertino
–
Juliet breathed a sigh of relief in front of the knights, who looked at her as they left the room after placing the bathtub on the floor.
"Clothes!"
As soon as the prince's order was issued, regardless of his mood, Juliet rushed to his side like lightning.
Undressing that noble body erect like a mountain, Juliet was overcome by tension and had difficulty swallowing.
If she did something wrong, she would be labeled a pervert.
Fortunately, the Prince, who had a frown on his face, as if he hadn't noticed his condition, entered the bathtub as soon as his clothes were off and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
Julieta took the bath sponge, being careful not to look back at the bathtub, which had very clear water.
Killian was smiling at the maid, whose face had turned sour and had her eyes tightly closed, waving a sponge around like a weapon.
It was hilarious to see her desperately wielding a sponge, with or without water splashing on her clothes, which she was still wearing, although the steam was fogging up her glasses from the hot water in the bathtub.
Killian sat back in the bathtub, watching the funny scene.
The roles of the servants and maids beside him were separated with precision.
The servant was responsible for scrubbing his body or bathing him or taking care of his clothes, and the maid was responsible for preparing tea, serving meals and receiving guests.
One day, at a delicate moment when he was transitioning from a boy to a young man, a woman in charge of taking care of him committed the senseless act of groping, casting a loving look at him.
That unpleasant thing was a secret that only he and Albert knew, and it was the cause of the dismissal of the least irritating maid in his mind.
Regardless of the other person's feelings, the women who always tried to cling to him and rush him into sex were just abhorrent abusers.
He knew better than anyone how it felt when he was subjected to unwanted actions by an unwanted person, so even though he had royal family status, he had neither forced nor decided to force a woman.
There was only one criterion for him to choose a woman: a mature relationship that was not painful for the other, and the rationality to break up when one of them asked for more or wanted more.
The women who became his lovers were not chosen for their appearance.
He just chose the least active woman among those who surrounded him and sought opportunities and promised not to ask for his love and future.
Tal Killian, however, was laughing, as he gave an order to the maid in front of him to give him a bath.
This maid was very unusual from the start.
She was so rude that she could never find any respect for her master, and indifferent with no interest in her status as royal family and her pretty face.
Furthermore, contrary to Albert's recommendation that she was sincere and prudent, she secretly displayed her emotions whenever he ordered her to do something she didn't want to do and tried to avoid doing it whenever she could.
His grumpy face made him do it, but Killian didn't feel offended and it felt good.
'When does she surrender when she can't do it?
Let’s see what will happen’
, he thought and surrendered to her, but suddenly he felt a touch in an important place.
“Huck, Your Highness.
It's a mistake.
I didn't mean that at all.
Please forgive me.”
Juliet was able to wash her master's hair and clean his broad, muscular back and even his solid chest.
Her belly was hard as a rock and she finished anyway, but she couldn't even think about getting off.
Until now, the arrogant Prince had managed to keep his mouth shut, but the water was getting cold.
Unable to hesitate any longer, Julieta closed her eyes and rubbed the sponge with a frantic pace.
She had a feeling.
She felt like she touched on something important.
It didn't matter how much Jeff cleaned.
She touched something she could never meddle with.
Killian's mouth turned sour after the woman made a fuss, like, “I touched the dirtiest thing in the world.” He thought he would stop at this point, but changed his mind.
What a hateful face!
“Pardon?
You're saying funny things.
Of course, that's where you need to clean it.
Come on, hurry up.
The water got cold.”Killian's words hardened Juliet's decision.
‘Yes, you know.
It's inevitable.
That's what you should do, as long as you get double your salary and lots of bonuses.
Now the man before you is not a man.
It's your future, someone who pays for your debt and your freedom.
You can do it… but I can’t.’
“Give me the sponge and come down and bring me dinner.
If I wait for you to clean it, it won’t be finished by tomorrow morning.”
When she looked blue and white, like she was going to die, Killian allowed her to stop because he was afraid his maid would stop breathing.
As soon as this happened, his dying face lit up.
The maid even handed him a sponge, her eyes tightly closed, with an air of worldly politeness.
“I’ll get your meal as soon as I can.
Your Highness is hungry, this shouldn't happen.
I’ll be back like lightning.”
Watching her escape with great joy without looking back, Killian briefly wondered if he would call her back.
*****
“Your Highness, the Count insists that he will not leave until he says hello to you.”
After the dinner that the maid had brought enthusiastically, Albert went to Killian, who was calmly drinking tea in a robe.
“Is he here alone?”
“…”
“Send him back.”
“Your Highness, no matter how many times I tell him this, he ignores it.
He's holding on to the ground floor now, that he won't come back if he can't say hello.” Faced with his strong refusal, Albert said: “This old man has to sleep to travel tomorrow.
Oh, my back!”
But the prince seemed unmoved, so he continued: “I think he still hasn't given up on that ambition after all the fuss last year and brought his daughters here to meet him.
How can I defend myself against such a reckless intrusion?”
To the sound of Albert's groans, Juliet unknowingly murmured a maxim: “I heard that attack is the best defense.”
When Killian heard Juliet murmuring, he looked at her with shining eyes.
“Say that again.”
When Killian responded to the muttered comment without realizing it, Juliet, who hesitated for a moment, opened her mouth: “If you just defend yourself, one day it will help you.
Attack is the best defense.
Before being invaded, that side must attack and eliminate the danger, which is the best.
Although Your Highness doesn't like it, if he stubbornly comes to you, it means he has a purpose and doesn't want to give up until he achieves it.
They say, ‘Knock and the door will open for you.’ So if you don’t want to get involved in something you don’t want to do, wouldn’t it be better if you never let him do it again?”
Juliet, who said what she thought of herself, as if she didn't hesitate, hurried to lower her head and think:
‘My God!’
Killian looked at her carefully and buried himself in the couch.
When he opened his mouth to say something, there was suddenly an uproar outside.
“Your Highness, Henry Archibald Baden came up here despite your rudeness to greet you.
Please allow me to enter and do me the honor of seeing you.”
When Baden's voice was heard outside, Killian stopped what he was going to say, jumped up and went to the inner room and sat down on the bed.
And after waving to Albert and Juliet, looking at him in a daze, he whispered as they approached.
“I fell asleep because I had been tired for some time.
He wouldn't dare say hello to me by waking me up.
If he wants to see me sleeping, say: 'No one is allowed to enter without His Highness's permission, and it is treason to disobey his orders.'
Emphasizing this, take the count down.”
At Killian's words, Albert reluctantly nodded with a tearful look.
