CHAPTER 6: Midnight Guest
A week ago...
"Please forgive me for being greedy, my lady, but I'm not letting you go. Never. "
Guinevere's heart beat like crazy when Lesley said those words. She should be upset; it was never a part of her plan to be tied down in marriage forever. Yet, she was overjoyed. They both then never uttered a word, and the room filled with a deafening silence. All they could hear was their heavy breathing and their loud heartbeats. But their eyes are locked, as if they are analyzing what each other's gaze meant. Affection, hunger, yearning, and adoration are what, in Lesley's eyes, are essential."Do you want me, Lesley?" Guinevere asked, and they shared an intimate kiss again.
Contrary to what Lady Baroque expected, that the two of them would become awkward, she felt that the two of them became closer. They spent the remaining time talking about their past and discussing their plans for the future, after the two women felt their lips swollen from tasting each other's lips for almost an hour.
"Take this," Guinevere said, after handing her a small box. Lesley hesitated and gave it a glance before meeting her fiance's eyes again. "Please," the lady pleaded.
Lesley heaved a smile, but she gave in. She gently grabbed the box from her palm and opened it immediately. Inside was a ring embedded with magic. Mana was certainly on it, she could feel her betrothed mana. However, the ring looks so ordinary. There were no diamonds or patterns on it. If her guess was right, it would be perfect for her to pretend as a man.
"Wear it!" Guinevere exclaimed, full of anticipation. So Lesley didn't spare a second to wear the ring she gave her. In the blink of an eye, Lesley's appearance and voice changed.

"Woah, bloody hell. Even your man version is ho-" Guinevere cursed, her mouth falling open.

Hours passed like a flash, and it was already night. However, Guinevere's energy was drained after eating dinner with her garrulous father. Despite having her maids do her night skin care routine while they massage her entire body, she now feels so relaxed that she doesn't have the motivation to stand up. But she's expecting a guest, and it's Lesley, her betrothed.
