Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son Chapter 231: You Can Study Using My Body

Chapter 231: You Can Study Using My Body

He didn't talk to her immediately as he wished to let her mind process over what she saw and calm down herself on her own. He picked up the book from the floor as Seren looked at him with her eyes filled with shock and embarrassment.
Holding a book, he went towards Seren's study table and put the book on her table as he stood at the right side of her table, "What happened, my Queen?" He asked softly, though he had already guessed it.
Still, her hands covering her mouth, Seren finally looked at him as she had nothing to answer.
Drayce moved his hand towards her and moved her hands away from her mouth, "To speak, My Queen needs to move these hands away."
She looked at him feeling embarrassed to her bones and said, "Y-Your Majesty, I don't want to study this book."
Drayce acted nonchalantly, "May I know the reason, My Queen?"
"This book…" she stopped not knowing what to say and asked, "H-Have Your Majesty read it?"
"Of course I did," Drayce agreed, "How can I give any book to My Queen without going through it first?"
It shocked her even more, "Then... how can your Majesty give such an inappropriate book to me?" she asked in a low voice.
"Inappropriate?" Drayce questioned, "May I know what is inappropriate about this book, My Queen?"
"It has naked man and woman in it," she replied.
"So, what is inappropriate about it?" he asked and it shocked her as she thought, 'Is His Majesty always so shameless and ill-mannered?'
Drayce continued, "Without seeing those pictures, how is My Queen going to learn about the difference between a man and a woman?"
Seren felt speechless as she had no other way to know it but she sure didn't want to read that book, "Do I really need to know the difference. Isn't it enough that I can tell I am a woman and Your Majesty is a man. I can also tell it about others too."
'Smart woman! Knows to put a statement to defend her side. Though she was imprisoned, the king of Abetha couldn't suppress her from speaking in her defense. That day she was so amazing when she defended herself from the curtain incident during the engagement ceremony.'
Drayce was busy praising her but he knew she was not completely right. But her statement made sense in her defense as she didn't know the reason why she had to know the difference. He sure didn't want her to get scared when they will be consummating their marriage.
"Your Majesty, Do I really need to read it?" she asked again, hoping he would decide in her favor.
"Unless my Queen knows the difference between a man and a woman, we can't consummate our marriage," he replied.
It puzzled her even more as she stared at him for a few moments, 'What does it have to do with consummating marriage?'
"My Queen, if you don't wish to feel scared during the process of marriage consummation, I will recommend you to read this book," Drayce said with a stern expression as he didn't wish her to find her way out of it.
"B-But that naked man…"
"It is just a generalized figure sketch to represent man and not any particular man who exists around us. If My Queen wished to have a particular man to study over him, I wouldn't mind if you use me."
"Huh?" It puzzled her, 'Use him? How?'
The way she looked at him, he knew what she was thinking and explained, "My Queen, if you are uncomfortable looking at that man's figure sketch, I can take my clothes off and you can study using my body."
It was something she had never expected him to say and almost ended up choking on her own saliva.
Cough! Cough!
He grinned inwardly and asked, "Are you okay, My Queen?'
She nodded, "C-Cold air caused me to cough."
"Should I remove my clothes, My Queen?" Drayce asked as he already moved his hands towards the buttons of his waistcoat.
Seren's eyes left wide open as she exclaimed in a shock, "N-No, Your Majesty. I..don't wish to trouble you...."
"It's not a trouble, my Queen," he said casually, as if taking off his clothes in front of his Queen was not a big deal for him, which was a fact. He had already undone one button and his hand moved towards the next button.
Seren immediately left her place to come closer to him and held his hand to stop him. "I understand Your Majesty wishes me to study everything nicely. I give my word that I will read all these books. Your Majesty doesn't need to trouble himself with it," she said in a hurry before he could undone the next button.
Drayce didn't insist as his lips had a light smirk. Seeing her like this was so amazing and he couldn't take his eyes off her innocent purple eyes. For the first time, she had held his hand on her own though the reason was not anything pleasant, still, it felt good.
Seeing his fingers let go of the button on his waistcoat, Seren looked at the top button which he had already undone, and moved her hands to button it back, 'What if he changes his mind again.'
Not knowing her reason to button his waistcoat, he felt so glad that she was doing it on her own. He got the feeling that this woman was truly his wife and he could only stare at her, 'It will feel even better the day when she will unbutton my waistcoat instead of the button it back.'
Once she was done with fixing the top button, Seren moved back and lowered her head to bow, "Your Majesty, do not worry. I will read all these books."
"I believe so," Drayce said and Seren moved her head up to look at him but he was not there.
"Huh?" She looked at his work table and he was already sitting in his chair while holding the parchment. "When did he go there?" She realized he had used his powers and she sat back in her chair. She looked back at the book while pouting behind her veil and finally picked it after a few moments of staring.
