Chapter 16

It was a gentle pressure on his left cheek that stirred Rozenbach to consciousness. He felt tired, both physically and mentally. His whole being ached with the desire to rest indefinitely. He would have continued sleeping had the pressure on his face not disturbed his rest.

He was vaguely able to recognize that it was a hand that was touching his face. The gentle touch gave Rozenbach the feeling of being unconditionally loved.

"Mom," Rozenbach mumbled and pressed his face closer to that hand, wishing to be spoilt. His mom always gave him the best pats and cuddles. It was only a few years ago that the cuddles decreased as Rozenbach spent all of his free time on studying.

The hand momentarily stilled before it resumed the gentle caress, but the hand was bolder this time. The caresses started to slowly becoming more adventurous and lingered more, trailing over Rozenbach's face and neck as if to familiarize with it.

Feeling that something was off, Rozenbach started to notice that the size of the hand was larger than his mother's. Even the touch gave a different feeling compared to the parental love from his mom.

Rozenbach's frowned slightly before making an effort to open his eyes. His sight was blurry, but it slowly cleared. When his eyes saw that the owner of the hand belonged to a very familiar handsome man, Rozenbach felt goosebumps all over. He quickly moved his head away, staring at King Sigil in horror.

He was being molested by a man!

At the same time, Rozenbach felt a great pain in his heart. He had thought he was back in his original world, where he was still living with his mom and dad, being sheltered and loved by them. There was no trauma or unpredictable future there.

Rozenbach's emotions were clearly shown on his face, and King Sigil took each one and carefully stored them away in his memory.

King Sigil was bewildered at how Rozenbach's emotions could change so quickly. His beauty was the most innocent-looking during her sleep. She looked like an immortal goddess, untouched by the mortal world. When she finally opened her eyes, revealing her beautiful eyes that seemed to sparkle like stars, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw him. She shyly moved away from his touch before suddenly falling into depression.

Seeing his beauty looking depressed, King Sigil wanted to erase any worries or fears that his beauty had and protect him from them in the future. He wanted to keep his beauty in a courtyard away from outside world where she would remain pure and happy with all her attention on him.

Just thinking about it excited King Sigil. He could not wait to experience that future.

"My beautiful concubine..."

"I'm not your concubine!" Rozenbach snapped.

King Sigil's eyes soften at the beauty's outburst. Perhaps this beauty did not wish to his concubine?

"Beauty, I promise to marry you as my second wife."

Rozenbach thought silently that 'second wife' just sounded nicer than the term 'concubine' but they shared the same meaning!

However, what Rozenbach did not know was that second wife was not the same meaning as a concubine! As a concubine, Rozenbach would not have the right to appear by his side in public and would spend his entire life at an appointed residence and wholly focus on King Sigil's needs.
