The Cursed Prince Chapter 32 - The Human Blanket

Chapter 32 - The Human Blanket

Emmelyn really enjoyed taking a warm bath before bed. She felt like her body that was previously freezing now felt so warm and comfortable.
Her pores also opened, and she felt her skin become very clean as she rubbed it happily. Ahh .. she felt so fresh.
She deliberately rolled her hair in a simple bun, so it wouldn't get wet while she soaked. If it got wet, it would be difficult for her to dry it before going to sleep. She also saw Mars doing the same thing. Ahh ... by the way, how come that guy could look so handsome no matter what?
Whether he was wearing clothes or not, his long hair went down to his shoulders or kept in a man bun ... Mars always looked manly and attractive.
[Our children will be so handsome like him.]
[Ahh ...]
[Gosh.]
[What the hell am I thinking?]
[Focus, Em. Focus.]
Emmelyn chided herself. She must focus on her plan. This was not the time to admire the devil's good looks.
She must find a witch who could help her to get pregnant. She wanted to carry multiple children in one go so she could quickly leave this place.
The girl closed her eyes and focused her thoughts on her plans.
Meanwhile, Mars noticed Emmelyn's expression and tried to guess what was on the girl's mind.
He knew Emmelyn was just pretending she didn't like taking a bath before bed. He could see from the faint smile on her face that she actually liked it.
[You weird girl.]
[Why are you so stubborn?]
[I hope my children don't inherit your stubbornness.]
Emmelyn suddenly opened her eyes when she felt Mars's hand touch her shoulder.
"Hey! What are you doing?" snapped the girl, spontaneously.
Mars cleared his throat. "Don't sleep in the bath. Your skin will wrinkle, and you can catch a cold."
Emmelyn, who was startled, immediately looked around and found Mars was already clothed, and his body was dry. The man looked ready to sleep.
Jeez ...
Emmelyn suddenly realized that she must have fallen asleep earlier after closing her eyes in the bath while soaking. Indeed, the warm water that wrapped her body felt so comfortable that she unconsciously became drowsy and fell asleep.
"How long did I sleep in the bath?" asked Emmelyn with an embarrassed expression.
"Not for long. I wouldn't let you stay there long enough to shrink and wrinkle," said Mars, with a chuckle. He then put a towel on Emmelyn's head and stood with his arms crossed over his chest, watching the girl get up from the bath and dry herself.
"Hmm ... you don't have to watch me dry my body," scolded the girl as she cast a sharp glance at Mars. "You make me feel uncomfortable."
"Fine. I'll be waiting for you in bed then," said Mars finally.
He then walked to the bed and lay down with his eyes closed. He was a little annoyed that this girl didn't seem to appreciate that he had been kind enough to wake her up so she wouldn't sleep in the bath until morning.
As usual, Emmelyn always treated him like a pervert who only wanted to take advantage of her, and she acted rudely to him.
Okay. You will see, Mars muttered to himself. He had done something to make sure Emmelyn regretted being rude to him.
Emmelyn, who had finished drying her body with the towel, then put on a nightgown from the table. Ahh .. by the way, who put this nightgown there? Was it the servants?
However, earlier she didn't see this gown there before she took a bath.
Did Mars prepare it for her?
Emmelyn turned to face the prince, who was lying with his eyes closed on the bed. Ahh ... this man is actually quite attentive, Emmelyn thought.
Emmelyn had not checked whatever clothes were available to her in this chamber. She did not bring any dress with her when she was still disguising herself as a male servant.
What was clear was, she knew Mars provided many beautiful dresses for her after he discovered her true identity as a woman. Ah, tomorrow she would go through all her clothes and choose whichever one she liked.
If Mars really wanted her to wear beautiful clothes, Emmelyn would take this opportunity to get nice clothes. She would ask Mars to send the palace tailor to come and make dresses that she liked.
After she put on a thin silk nightgown in a light blue color, Emmelyn pulled her hair down and immediately climbed into bed to rest.
It was only after she lay on the bed that Emmelyn realized that something was missing.
[Geez. Why isn't there a blanket here?]
After her body got used to the warm water and soaked in it, as soon as she got out of the bath, the bone-chilling low temperature of autumn immediately made Emmelyn shiver with cold. Supposedly if she slept and got under the covers, her body would immediately warm up.
But somehow, the goddamn blanket wasn't there now.
Emmelyn, who was shivering, immediately got out of bed and moved around to find the blanket.
Did it fall under the bed?
Hmm .. it wasn't there.
She moved to the table and cabinet but could not find a single blanket in the room.
[Brrrrr... so cold.]
Emmelyn gnashed her teeth because of the cold temperature, and she couldn't find a blanket anywhere.
Did the maid pick it up for washing and forget to put down a replacement blanket?
She looked at Mars, who was lying straight in bed, looking very relaxed.
[Why wasn't this bastard feeling cold?]
Emmelyn touched Mars's arm, and she let out a sigh. This man's body was very warm.
Ah ... damn it. It's not fair that this bastard could sleep so well under this cold temperature.
Inevitably, Emmelyn was forced to make Mars her human blanket tonight.
Tomorrow, she had to make sure those damn blankets were found.
With pouted lips, Emmelyn finally climbed back into bed and pressed her body against Mars.
[Ahh ... warm. It's so warm. So nice.]
Emmelyn's body immediately caught the heat from the human next to her, and slowly the girl started to feel comfortable.
When Mars turned his body sideways so that his face was facing Emmelyn, and his hands were wrapped around the girl's waist, Emmelyn did not push him away. She felt very warm and comfortable sleeping in this position.
She let out big yawns several times and then fell asleep. As her breathing became soft and regular, and the girl fell asleep, Mars opened one eye and smiled with satisfaction.
He took a little revenge for Emmelyn's curt attitude to him earlier by hiding all the blankets in this chamber. Now, Emmelyn was the one looking for warmth in him.
With a big smile on his face, the man closed his eyes again and tightened his embrace on Emmelyn's body.
Ahh .. it felt so warm and comfortable.

from the author:
As I re-read this book, I realized that this story is moving at a very relaxed pace. There isn't much conflict thrown yet. We mostly saw this couple bickering, eating, taking a bath, having sex, eating, taking a bath, having sex again, etc.
What do you think about the pace so far? Hahaha. Like I always said, I don't control the book. The book sets its own pace and rolls out the story as it pleases.
I am actually worried that we are being lulled with fluff and sweet stuff because the book wants to prepare us for a really intense roller coaster ride. I hope you'll all be ready when the real conflict starts.
If you read my other books, all three books have intense moments that left deep impacts on the readers. I have a feeling, this book would do the same thing to us, though at the moment I cannot really tell much. I am waiting in the dark, just like you.
PS: Please vote your power stone for this book. Now I can already promise a mass release reward every weekend if we reach a certain power stone votes. One of my books is ending in a few days and I will have time to focus on this book.
Let's start next week.
1000 PS by Sunday = 1 extra chapter on Monday (I'll publish 2 chapters)
1500 PS by Sunday = 2 extra chapters on Monday (I'll publish 3 chapters)
2000 PS by Sunday = 3 extra chapters on Monday (I'll publish 4 chapters)
