BXBX NOVEL Chapter 122 - Even Love Bites Can Be This Terrifying? Part1
Sylvia quickly wolfed down the food on her plate and placed it aside.
She typically had a more voracious appetite, but for some reason, she didn\'t feel as hungry today.
She placed the empty plate down beside her on the side table in deep thought, when her face heated up on thinking why she was so easily satisfied today.
She clutched the sheets of the bed tightly and rolled around a couple of times, giggling and squealing, giddy with joy, and only then jumped out to quickly change.
Mikel had asked her to keep her head down and remain as inconspicuous as possible in the King\'s castle, so Sylvia picked out a dulled and faded light green dress.
She then washed her mouth and face and skipped down, humming lightly.
"Afternoon, dearie." Jane greeted her at the bottom of the steps with a bright smile on her face, making Sylvia almost stumble as she hadn\'t expected to find her here.
"Umm... Hi, Mrs. Jane." She abashedly tucked a couple of strands behind her ear and managed to squeeze out a smile.
Standing next to Jane were Ana and Jenny, also smiling and nodding at her.
Sylvia was taken aback to find the young maid so harmlessly greeting her when all their previous interactions had been different, but she didn\'t think too much about it.
Mikel hadn\'t bothered to keep their relationship private and secretive at least within this castle.
He had kissed her and carried her in his arms like a princess in front of everyone, so the reason for the maid\'s change in attitude was not exactly a mystery.
Sylvia, as well, was not a petty person and didn\'t hold on to any grudges. After all, things between them hadn\'t soured too much.
However, that didn\'t mean that she was ready to fully trust the maid.
After what happened with her uncle and aunt, Sylvia knew better than to quickly jump to conclusions.
Perhaps she was being too cautious, but in her experience, it was better to rather be that than be sorry.
"Shall we head on, dear?" Jane asked, patiently waiting for her answer. Sylvia nodded and quickly walked along with the three maids.
The four of them walked to the castle entrance, where two carriages were waiting for them, one obviously luxurious and lavish and the other a bit more plain, simple, and ordinary.
Sylvia\'s gaze wandered around searching for a certain someone and finally landed on the handsome charming devil leaning against the luxurious carriage door.
He was now wearing a military jacket that sparkled and shined in the bright sunlight, not because of the golden and silver thread embroidered on it, but because of the powdered mana gems scattered on it.
These gems provided both a physical and a mana barrier, intending to protect the person from various types of attacks.
Sylvia couldn\'t help but gasp lightly at the scene in front of her. Mikel looked extremely charming dressed in his regal attire.
His golden locks were pulled and combed back, forming a neat wave. The black and red jacket and the pair of black pants looked crisp and attractive.
More importantly, his seductive lips... they curled upwards as if he was enjoying her admiring him, making Sylvia immediately look away.
She gulped, unable to decide if he looked more handsome with or without clothes.
When she looked up at him again, the devil unexpectedly was still gazing at her and he even gave her a nod, signaling for her to come to him.
Without waiting for a response from her, he then opened the door and hopped into the carriage, holding the door open for her to get in.
Sylvia\'s entire body heated up as she slowly walked towards the open carriage door with a sheepish smile on her face.
She could feel the several eyes looking at her and couldn\'t help but imagine the various thoughts running in their mind.
Not just the maids, but Theo, Leol, and a couple of other guards as well were standing.
In front of everyone, she got into the carriage and Mikel closed the door behind her.
"Umm... your highness... What?" Sylvia asked, sitting far away from the smirking devil who seemed to be hellbound on teasing her to death.
"Heh... Your highness? I think that ship has sailed, my darling." Mikel chuckled and stood up to pull the woman sitting far away from him.
He scooped her up and placed her on his lap, but when Sylvia shyly looked at him, his face was rather serious.
She opened her mouth to say something when he placed his finger on her lips. "Listen to me carefully, dear. I want you to be very cautious while we are there in that place."
"Don\'t do anything to stand out and don\'t practice any magic. Do you understand?"
Mmm. Sylvia nodded obediently. She knew that he was not joking. "Should I just stay here then and wait for you?"
"No. I don\'t want you to stay alone, especially since Leol and Theo will be with me. The King\'s castle should be safer." Mikel explained, but he saw that she was deeply thinking about something, worry showing on her face.
"What is it?" He asked.
Sylvia looked up to meet his gaze and then muttered with a serious expression as if she was preparing to go for a war. "Umm… then perhaps should we… umm… do that thing… so that you can become more powerful?"
Huh? Mikel blinked, her words taking a second to full fall on his ears.
"Thing?" Mikel repeated, his lips quirking upwards, making Sylvia blush from his innocent comment.
"You know… that… my body…" She tried to explain, her face turning beet red but she stopped immediately seeing the grin on his face grow wide.
The devil was messing with her again!
"Don\'t be in such a hurry, my dear." He chuckled, his hands wrapping around her tightly.
"If something changed too suddenly, people will notice, which is dangerous for us. We will do that thing as soon as we return back to the castle."
He then leaned closer to her ears and whispered, his words tingling her body. "We will do it every day and night until you are sore and satisfied."
