Moonlight Ball - Chapter 116

It was the same old crowd in the palace society. This world was so small and everyone knew each other from the moment they were born. Rosemary was no exception, there wasn’t a person who didn’t know her. But now she was claiming to be kind and benevolent? Who would believe that?

People aren’t stupid, they just choose to be in certain situations. They just turn a blind eye in their own favor. They pretend to shut their eyes, but they’re secretly watching through a crack.

“What about the lawyers?”

“I’m preparing them. If the trial starts, her own wishes will be the most important factor.”

Sidrain remembered a few nights ago. Her moist and hot body. He was going crazy. He just wanted to be closer. He wanted to become one with her. He forgot everything due to his desire. He lost himself inside her and poured out his heart’s desire. It was as if he was feeling the intense sensation of his entire intestine being sucked out, rather than just his semen, as he held onto her tightly.

He kissed her beautiful face like a madman.

He wanted to have a child with Iris. He wanted to meet the child growing inside her stomach and give them everything he had. He wanted to see what the child would look like, what their facial features and eye color would be. He was so curious. His heart raced at the thought of Iris pregnant. Sidrain, who had become a kind person in Iris’s world, thought that.

“If she’s pregnant, then I’ll win the trial. She’s mine.”

Sidrain, the cold and calculating man of the outside world, opened his eyes like a beast in the dark.

Sidrain’s back, which was like a mix of light and darkness, warmth and cold, leaned against the wall as he thought.

He wanted to get Iris pregnant.

“I, I’m busy.”

The door slammed shut in front of his eyes.

He couldn’t even lay a finger on her, let alone impregnate her, and another night was passing by. Sidrain sat down, feeling crushed. Even though the guards were around him, he didn’t even have time to think about his pride.

“What did I do wrong?!”

He asked himself for the 2754th time. Of course, there was no answer.

One thing that Iris felt the palace valued highly was tradition. Tradition. That word held so much power.

The noble ladies’ hunting tournament.

Iris stood in front of the forest entrance, feeling exhausted. It was her turn in the summer hunting tournament season for the noble ladies’ hunting tournament.

The gentlemen sitting by the forest entrance were delighted. They loved this traditional festival. They looked at the noble ladies in their hunting attire, holding guns, and licked their lips, their waists flinching. It was quite sensual. And there was another festival that was equally sensual.

Iris walked straight, just as Elena had taught her. She walked straight towards the King’s throne and pointed the barrel of her gun at him, her face blank due to lack of sleep. Only the Queen was allowed to act so disloyally at this moment, by pointing the barrel of her gun at the King.

The innocent-looking Queen stood there, looking arrogant, as she handed the King her gun. She looked majestic, like a goddess.

“Ruthna, please don’t try to test me…”

Sidrain prayed with all his heart. He was already half out of his mind seeing Iris in her hunting attire. The clothes that revealed her dynamic body were cruelly stimulating him, as he had slept with her once before but had been sleeping alone since. He bit the inside of his lips, trying to calm his craving. He just wanted to take her for himself.

Iris tried to remember what the King had said with her tired mind. Elena had told her to just repeat what the King had said the first night they arrived at the cottage.

“Blessings, my Queen.”

Ah, that’s what he had said. Iris looked down at Sidrain for the first time in a while. He was just looking up at her with no expression. That made her think of him in bed and she smiled a little. She couldn’t believe that she was putting so much meaning into his lack of expression after just sleeping with him once.

“Blessings.”

Iris smiled as she spoke these words. Sidrain was expressionless for some reason, but she was happy to see him for the first time in a while. Her eyes felt clearer as she saw the beautiful face of the man she liked, after having to deal with beakers, liquids, and the whining of the spirits. She couldn’t help but smile as she felt her heart warm up.

“My King.”
