Forgotten Wife

CHAPTER 19: KISSES ARE TERRIFYING

That night Setherian returned early to his quarters, when he arrived he caught Rebecca eating the fruit that was in her room, she choked at the sight of the king, she was tapping her chest, Setherian approached her, stood behind her and put his arms around her and pressed on her stomach, after a few minutes she felt better.

-Thank you so much-, Rebecca said to him.

Setherian was still holding her, Rebecca was on her tiptoes as he was too tall.

-Are you all right-, he asked.

-Yes.

Setherian stared at her, Rebecca wondered when he would let go, her feet were starting to hurt. After making sure she was all right, Setherian let her go.

- If I hadn't arrived just in time you would be dead right now.

-"If you hadn't arrived I wouldn't have drowned"- Rebecca thought. -I thank you very much, your majesty-, she told him.

Setherian sat down on the sofa and said to her.

-Sit down.

Rebecca sat down on the far corner of the sofa, Setherian said to her.

-Have you ever been taught magic?

-I do not possess magic, your majesty.

-I know that, but answer my question.

-No your majesty, I have never been taught magic.

-I will find a teacher for you.

-But if I don't...- Rebecca began to say, but Setherian interrupted her.

-You must learn the principles of magic even if you don't possess magic.

-All right.

-And I think you should go back to living in the palace.

-What? -Her majesty promised I could stay where I'm living until I'm pregnant, wait, I'm already pregnant?

Setherian still hadn't touched the princess, he wondered how Rebecca had come to that conclusion.

-What are you talking about? How can you be pregnant if I haven't touched you yet?

-But we've slept together twice.

Setherian sensed that the princess was more naive than he had imagined and asked her.

-Princess, do you know how babies are made?

-Of course, I read it in a book, it said that if a couple kiss and sleep cuddled in the same bed they will have a child.

Setherian was astonished, the princess didn't really know anything about a couple's relationship.

-Princess, were you ever educated as a wife?

-No, everything I know I learned from books-, said Rebecca, proud of how she had learned everything she knew.

-Don't tell me you thought that just by sleeping in the same bed you were going to get pregnant?

Rebecca nodded and replied.

-That's what the books I've read said .

Setherian was dumbfounded, at some point he had even doubted her purity, but it was just the opposite, she was someone too pure.

-Princess, have you ever kissed a man?

-No, his majesty omitted the kiss during the wedding, although I have read about kisses in books, just close your eyes and press your lips together like this- Rebecca showed the king how she was supposed to kiss.

-Isn't it like this?- Asked Rebecca.

-Yes and no-, answered the king.

Setherian brought his face close to the princess, pressed his lips to hers and gave her a soft kiss, which was getting deeper and deeper, Rebecca felt she couldn't breathe, she pushed the king away, she was gasping for air trying to breathe.

-The kisses are terrifying, I feel like I almost died.

Setherian couldn't help but laugh, that was the first time Rebecca saw him with a smile on his lips, no doubt he looked much better like that.

-We'd better leave this for another day, I think the princess needs to get a wife's education, otherwise this will be very annoying.

Rebecca wondered what the king was referring to, he got up from the sofa and went to the bed, seeing that the princess was still on the sofa he said to her.

-Are you going to sleep on the sofa?

-No, we must sleep in the same bed in order to have a baby-, said Rebecca with a serious face.

Setherian laughed out loud and said to her.

-Of course.

Setherian got into bed, Rebecca did the same, she hugged the king, he asked her.

-What are you doing?

-We've already kissed today, if we sleep in each other's arms I'm sure I'll get pregnant.

Setherian laughed again and said to her.

-I doubt that's the case- even though Setherian said that he didn't push her away, the two slept in each other's arms for the rest of the night.

The next day when Setherian woke up he told the butler to find someone to teach the princess about wife education, that was a bit strange to the butler since members of the royal family used to receive wife education at the age of 14, however, he did as the king ordered.

Setherian went to his office, he sent for Fergal Devitt, one of the best magicians in the kingdom and his friend, when Fergal entered the office he greeted him politely and asked.

-Why did your majesty send for me?

-I want you to teach the principles of magic to my wife.

-To the enemy princess?

-I have only one wife.

-Why do you want me to teach her the principles of magic?

Setherian knew he had to tell his friend what was going on so that his help would be more effective.

-The princess never received any education about magic, she doesn't know she possesses magic.

-But what are you saying? How can there be someone who doesn't know he possesses magic?

-Strange as it may seem, it is so, since his magic has not yet awakened.

-It's the first time I've heard of such a thing.

-You'll be more surprised to learn what kind of magic he possesses.

-Leave the mystery and tell me what kind of magic she possesses.

-The princess possesses light magic.

Fergal had never heard of such magic and told her.

-That kind of magic does not exist.

-It does exist, only it is very old, it is part of the forgotten magic, that's why very few know about it.

-I need to know more about that magic.

Setherian handed him a thick leather-bound book, he said.

-Here you can find all the information that exists about this magic.

-Where did you get this book- Fergal asked as he took the book.

-I keep that information to myself- Setherian replied.

-I will return the book to you when I finish it.

-I can't let you take it, you must read it here.

-Why?

-I can't tell you either.

-I understand, then I'll read it here.
