Chapter 230: Unintentional Seducing
Holding that book, Seren was about to open it again but then she peeked at Drayce to check if he was looking at her. She was already embarrassed seeing that naked woman in the book and Drayce's presence around made her even hesitant to read it.
Seeing him busy with his work, she opened that page again where she had seen a naked woman's sketch and immediately put her hands on it to cover that woman's body as she closed her eyes.
Though drayce was busy with his work, he could sense her every movement and smiled lightly while trying hard to not look at her. He was sure if he kept looking at her, she would not read that book. He acted as if he was not aware of what she was doing.
Seren slowly opened her one eye to peek at the picture as she slowly moved her fingers down to let that sketched woman's face visible to her. Once the face was visible, she opened her other eye and looked at it.
The face has lots of arrows pointed towards its various parts to name them- eyes, nose, lips, head, hair, and so on.
'Is it even something to study about? Who doesn't know we have eyes, nose, and everything mentioned here. What's there to study about from books?'
Seren frowned and continued to slide her hands down the picture from its neck shoulder and then further down to the thorax region where the first thing her eyes caught was the sight of two visible rounds on the chest with each having a dot in the center and the sketch showed its proper shape.
'This...Umm...I have these rounds on my chest too,' she thought and subconsciously moved her right hand towards her chest while the left one still covered the picture below the thorax region.
She touched her chest and the only thing she felt was her round peeks as she nodded in satisfaction, 'They are sure so round,' and focussed on the picture to read the names written with the arrow pointed towards it as she read in her mind. 'Chest, breast, nipple,...." She continued to read.
When she was busy looking at the woman's chest in the sketch and then touching her own to compare them, Drayce happened to look at her. This woman was touching her chest to feel those round peeks and didn't know she might end up seducing a devil.
Drayce closed his eyes and exhaled to calm himself down, 'Let her study....don't look at her…' he repeated in his mind and resumed his work. 'I better not look at her or she will get to learn everything today itself from not just a book but with actions.'
Unknown to what she had caused one man, Seren continued to read as her hand moved further down the picture to uncover the stomach of the woman while her other hand moved down from her own chest to her own stomach.
'My stomach and waist seem thinner than this woman,' she thought and continued to move down her hand along the picture. She looked at the place between the thighs of the woman in the sketch which was not exactly visible as the woman in the picture was standing but one could see exactly how it looked in a standing position.
Seren didn't move her hand down her stomach but instead lowered her head to look at the part between her thighs which had multiple layers of clothes. 'Why do they have to draw it. It feels embarrassing,' she thought and looked back at the picture to study further.
Drayce, who was watching her though he thought he wouldn't, saw her moving her hand to her stomach and gulped. He was sure now she would move it further down and exhaled.
'Don't look at her...Don't look at her,' he chanted in his mind and frowned at himself, 'When I thought it will be amusing to see her, it is turning into torture for me. She is unintentionally seducing me.'
He saw her looking at her own body but she didn't move her hand down. He sighed relief and smirked, 'I will be the one to touch her. She doesn't need to do it.' He continued to stare at her for a while when she was busy, 'I wonder how sweet she will taste. How much she will like it when I will go down on her. I am sure her already sweet voice will sound like the best melody when she will…."
Just then Seren looked at him and disturbed his wild thoughts.
She was done reading about that naked woman and was ready to move on to the next page but saw him staring at her. She blinked a few times to know if he wanted to say something to her while Drayce felt like caught off guard.
He immediately collected himself and asked as he cleared his throat, "I-I hope there is no difficulty, My Queen."
"No, Your Majesty," she said and asked, "But, do you wish to say something to me, Your Majesty?"
'Yes, I want to ask you to come to my bed so I can teach you better than the books,' he thought as he looked at her in a daze.
Seeing him not answering, she called him again, "Your Majesty,...."
It pulled him out of his thoughts again and he replied, "It's nothing, My Queen. You can continue."
Seren nodded and moved on to the next page.
Drayce picked up the glass of water from his table after removing a silver lid from it and emptied out the entire glass of water. 'Weather sure is so hot these days.' he thought and then realized with a light frown that it was not the weather but his body. He sighed, 'Only this woman can turn me like this.'
Once Seren flipped the page of the book, she saw there were a number of images that covered the development of a baby girl into a woman. All those images covered both sides of the pages of that book as they were arranged in horizontal rows.
The first image was a naked baby and then they continued to progress with the girl from the age of one to five years old, then ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty, and with ten years of age difference in the next images till the last image showed the old naked woman which held the cane and bend forwards in her spine.
With those pictures, the book had a piece of information written about the changes a woman's body goes through at that particular age. Seren could relate to everything and continued her silent thought process in her mind.
'Hmm, I was like this when I was ten...later…' she looked at the later pictures when it showed the development in the breast size, 'I remember it getting changed to round. It hurt too and Martha had to apply ointment on it. Why does one need to have them round? It makes my chest feel heavy even and that inner silk cloth I have to wear all the time to wrap them is so suffocating. I wish to never wear it but Martha forced me to.'
Frowning at having those two rounds on her chest, Seren suddenly remembered something and looked at Drayce who was busy working. She eyed his chest as she thought, 'Men don't have round chests. That day I saw His Majesty's chest was flat and hard like a rock. So fortunate."
Drayce sensed her looking at him and looked at her. She immediately reverted her sight from him and looked back in the book. He smiled and continued his work as he was waiting to get more shocking reactions from her.
'Seems like she is yet to reach there,' he grinned wickedly.
Seren flipped to the next page to read in detailed information about the woman's body where her eyes caught- Monthly Cycle.
She frowned again, 'Other than the round chest, one more troublesome thing.' Thinking she continued to read about it. 'By the age of fifteen, every girl gets it but I got it late. Lady Tyra said so. I wish it were even late or I had never got it. I wish there was a way to never get it. So painful and uncomfortable. Lady Tyra said it will stop in three to five days. It's the third day and it hasn't stopped yet. At least there is no pain now.'
Drayce looked at her as she was silent for a long time and was reading with a focus. He smiled and looked back at the parchment in his hands, 'It seems like a calmness before the storm.'
Just as he thought, the next moment there was chaos at his Queen's table.
"Ah...umm!"
Thud!
Screech!
Drayce looked at her and saw his Queen was standing at the table, covering her mouth to stop herself from screaming in shock as she breathed deeply. Her chair was moved back with a screeching sound as she stood up so suddenly. The book she was holding a while ago was lying on the floor.
'Seems like she finally reached there,' Drayce thought and stood up from his chair as he walked towards her.
