Book 3: Chapter 2
“Lucia, are you asleep?”
“No, you’re lying on my hair, your majesty.”
“Sorry, I’ll shift to the side a bit…”
“Don’t. Let me hold you tighter. My scent has almost covered up the scent of that woman’s.”
I don’t know why, but when we arrived at the inn we were resting at for the night, we were told there was only one small room left with one bed. If we didn’t take it, we’d have to sleep in the stables… While it’s true that I’m the elf prince, using my identity to kick people out isn’t such a good idea. Moreover, Lucia who was glued to me said she’d be fine with one bed since we were to-be husband and wife anyway.
And that’s why I slept with Lucia. My bed in the palace is huge. There was room for me even if both mom and Lucia were to climb onto it. It’s just that they always hugged both my arms so tightly I never was able to move… Since this single bed was so small, Lucia and I needed to embrace each other to fit on it.
Lucia also seemed to really mind the fact that I carried the scent of another elf on me. She was really unhappy. She was insistent on attaching herself to me the whole way. In fact, she forbade me from looking at other girls.
“When a female elf willingly embraces a man, she’s bound to leave behind her scent on him. Elves can rely on scents to determine if they have someone they like. Previously, the scent of the queen was really pronounced on you. When I hugged you the day you left, I could detect my scent on you. That woman was definitely able to detect my scent on you and yet she still had the gall to seduce you. If I see her, I’m going to teach her what first come first serve means.”
Lucia’s eyes showed that she was completely serious. It looks like she’s definitely going to give it to Luna if she meets her…
