Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son Chapter 597 You Have To Please Me

Chapter 597 You Have To Please Me

The next morning when Seren woke up, her gaze was welcomed by the sight of her handsome husband. His gentle gaze was observing her sleep face while his hand was moving along her bare spine under the quilt as his fingertips gently brushed her skin.
"Good Morning, Seren," Drayce greeted.
She smiled while clearing her gaze. That smile was the result of hearing him calling her name and she could not help but say, "Such a wonderful start of the day."
"Did you have a good sleep?" he asked.
"Hmm!" she nodded, "Did you?"
He shook his head, "I didn't."
"Why? Are you not well?"
"How can I be well when my naked wife is next to me and so close. It would be a shame if I could still sleep comfortably."
Seren understood what he meant and also realized she was still naked under the sheets. Slowly her hand moved to hold the quilt tightly in front of her chest as she offered him an innocent gaze.
Drayce could clearly see through her but had no intentions of doing anything with her as the torture of entire night was enough for him.
Her gaze followed the tattoo on his neck. She always saw it but never raised a question about why he had this tattoo on his neck or if he simply loved to have one.
"Dray, this Tattoo, do you like to have these drawn on your body?" she asked as her fingertips ran along that tattoo."
He shook his head, "I was born with it."
She was a little surprised but then thought it should be normal as he was a Dragon. "It looks like a Dragon. First time I saw it in my first vision about you, I could only see its face because of the collar of your robe. I thought it was a snake head but later when I got to see it entirely, I understood it's instead a Dragon. Is it because you are a Dragon?"
Drayce nodded. "You are right but there is something about it."
"What?"
"Not everyone can see it. My mother was the only one who could see it and you are the next one."
"You mean other than two of us, no one can see it?"
"Hmm! And that was the reason I was shocked when in that marketplace you pointed out this tattoo on my neck."
"I pointed it out because the same tattoo I saw on the red eyed man in my vision and that is how I understood you were that same man."
"Seems like destiny was bringing us closer somehow by showing us to each other," Drayce commented.
Seren agreed, "Maybe it was the work of this flower mark on my forehead. Grandmother said it helped me search for my soulmate."
He smiled at her discovery, "Smart guess, My Queen."
"But what does it mean that only I can see this Dragon tattoo other than your mother?"
"This Dragon part and darkness part of mine is given by my mother's soulmate who is my biological father and that is why she could see it. About you, you being my soulmate you can see it. Mother once said, if I ever find a woman who can see this tattoo, that means she is mine and I should never let her go."
"So that's why you were after me," Seren said with a little frown.
Seeing her frown, he caressed her cheek gently, "That is not entirely true. I was after you even before I knew you could see this tattoo. There was something that kept pulling me towards you and made me curious about you as well. It was as if you were meant for me. Someone I had to protect at all cost, someone I wished to cherish and love and so many things that can't be described in words."
His words calmed her down. "At that time I didn't know who you were and who was the one helping me. Despite trying to run away, you didn't stop me and instead helped me run away."
"I could understand your desperation to have freedom. That was an entirely normal act from you."
She offered him a gentle gaze, "You were always so understanding towards me even when we didn't know each other. You helped me run away, brought me back when I couldn't and....wait....I have something to ask."
He replied with a questioning gaze and she spoke, "You claim to not see me without clothes ever, then how come my dresses were changed and my body was cleaned after both of my failed attempts of running away? Who changed my clothes and cleaned my body covered in mud? No one knew other than you about my attempts of running away. Then, how did you not see my body?"
"At that time, I didn't," Drayce answered honestly.
"How? Did you do it using some magic tricks and you didn't have to see me?"
"If my body can be cleaned and clothes can be changed with magic, then I would not have bothered soaking myself in water daily to clean my body and waste time on wearing clothes."
"If not magic, then how? Did you clean my body and change my dress with closed eyes...or maybe in the dark?"
Drayce shook his head.
"Did you ask those nurses in my room to change it or any servants from the palace of Abetha?" she asked again. Her eyes were full of hope to get the right answer to this mystery.
Drayce once again shook his head. He pecked on her head and stepped out of the bed, "It's morning and time to get up."
Seren immediately sat up in bed as she glared at him, "Wait, first tell me how did you change my clothes and cleaned my body?"
Drayce, who picked up the clothes from the floor, turned to look at her and smirked as his gaze observed her naked body, covered only till her waist, "Beautiful view, My Queen."
Seren followed his gaze and looked down at herself. She immediately covered her chest with a quilt, feeling flustered, "Dray, don't change the topic. Answer me what I have asked."
Not answering, he put the clothes in his hands aside on the chair and went to get a new robe for himself from the wooden chest.
"Dray, did you not hear me?" Seren was getting impatient as she wanted to know that grave mystery when he had already discarded all the possibilities she could figure out.
Drayce got the new robe and started to wear it as he looked at his wife, "I will tell you when you will do something that will please me."
She blinked a few times, "Please you?"
He nodded, "Please me."
"Okay, what do you want me to do?" she immediately agreed as she knew Drayce could never make anything difficult for her. Not like he would ask her to jump down the ship in that cold water.
"That's up to you to decide, My Queen." He finished wearing a robe, corrected his appearance and was ready to leave.
"At least give me any hint of what is there which can please you," she asked, before he could leave.
"A wife should know how to please her husband," he replied and picked up his sword from the stand.
"A wife?" She mumbled and remembered incidents from story books about what wives did to make their husband happy. She immediately got the answer, "Do you want me to cook a meal for you? Wives always cook for their husbands to make them feel happy."
"Cooking?" Drayce looked at her with one eyebrow curved up in a doubt, "My Queen's cooking skills, I am somewhat familiar with them."
Cough!
Seren awkwardly cleared her throat and realized she sure didn't want to burn this entire ship with her dangerous skills.
"Then what can I do?"
"As my Queen is getting smarter these days, I believe you will once again prove yourself smarter," he walked towards the stairs as he instructed, "put on the clothes. It's cold," and finally left with a wicked smirk on his lips.
Seren was left sulking at how he put a condition in front of her and didn't even tell her what to do. "How am I supposed to know what can please him? He is so mean and just wants to trouble me. I am not going to talk to him."
Drayce's sharp hearing senses didn't fail to hear her annoyed self-talk. His innocent little kitten now knew how to get angry at him and express her displeasure clearly.
".....I hate him...I...I really do..."
'But I love you, My queen.'
With a wide grin on his lips, he left the cabin to go to the deck of the ship.
