Chapter 187- Secret lover

[Minoru's POV:]

It has been two days since I came here.

For the past two days, my routine has been limited to eating food and eating the Prince.

Elves live longer than humans, as such, I can only imagine how many years' worth of lust he must be nurturing.

And that was shown by how much Tarven craved me in these two days.

I stopped counting after the thirty-fourth time. Yes, he came that many times, and yet he was lying beside me with a smile of content on his face.

"These past two days have been the most beautiful days of my life." He said with a sigh of contentment.

His head was on my chest, and my arm was around his lithe form.

"I am glad you enjoyed your time with me," I said in my usual voice.

Truth be told, he is a great bed partner. He doesn't shy away from doing things for his partner that can make them excited and fulfilled.

He even dressed up for me in sexy lingerie just because I wanted.

I mean, for a Prince to wear see-through underwear was really quite something.

He fainted thrice yesterday night. We had quite a fun time indeed in these two days.

That brings the question, "Why do you force yourself? You can just enjoy sex however you like. It's not necessary for you to appear like a dominant male. Your other side...your real side is very beautiful. Don't hide it."

He hid his face in my chest. Was he blushing? How cute.

In a low voice, he relayed, "You won't understand. My family members would admonish me if they found out my sexual preference. They want me to be like my brothers. Bold and domineering."

Somehow their situation feels like many of the conservative families back in my home world who force their thought process on their children. Just let them be how they want to be.

Running my hand up and down his back I said, "Then...why don't you find yourself a silent lover? Someone whom you can trust and who can fulfill your needs? Suppressing your desires would obstruct your work."

Tarven flipped on his chest and looked at me before asking me with a faint smirk, "Why don't you become mine? I can provide you with everything you need...in return, just become my secret lover."

The offer was tempting. Really. However,

"There are people waiting for me..people whom I can't abandon. So, I apologize, Your Highness, but I must return." I didn't lie to him.

I didn't want to make a fake promise here when the other person was so sincere in his proposal. He really needed someone who could understand him. But, unfortunately, that can't be me.

Tarven heaved a sigh, "Really....I thought you would accept." He suddenly got up from the bed before saying, "Well, you will at least accompany me for today, right?" He slowly made his way towards the bathroom, intentionally swaying his hips to tempt me.

I grinned. Now that requires some thorough punishment.

[Third Person POV:]

Although Seraphina unhesitantly handed the job of investigation to Minoru, it would be a bare lie to say that she wasn't nervous.

Digging out information about the beast tribes who would be attacking the human realm was a crucial job. If caught, the demon race would be regarded as an enemy to the beast race. And Seraphina couldn't afford to let that happen unless she was prepared to answer the Demon Lord.

That's why, she had to contemplate for a long time before she chose Minoru. He had all the skills required to infiltrate the Elven territory and dwell inside the head of the Prince.

Despite the warnings from her subordinates, she trusted his skills and sent him with the Prince of the Gladeborn clan.

And now, two days have passed and today Minoru was supposed to return.

"Do you think he would be alright?" Her secretary asked as they stood near the entrance.

The carriage has been sent to Tarven's palace. Seraphina had sent the letter with the carriage saying that the masseur's mother was sick, so he had to return.

Hopefully, if Minoru isn't caught, then the Prince would let him go...but if he got caught, then Seraphina might need to prepare for a war against the elves.

"I just hope he returns safely..." The Queen muttered under her breath. For some reason, more than the information he went to attain, she wanted his identity to remain hidden.

"How long would it take?" Asked the third person near the entrance. It was Mira.

Her presence here was natural. She was worried about her son's safety and could no longer remain inside the room.

Seraphina sighed before informing her, "He should be here-ah!" She paused, her eyes widening as she saw the familiar carriage rolling inside the mansion.

The two ladies, excluding the secretary, stepped forward.

The carriage came to a stop right before them.

Mira stepped forward and parted the curtain—only to find all the color from her face draining upon finding the backseat empty.

"M-Minoru..."

Seraphina's heart sank as well.

However, just when she was about to say something, the carriage driver called out, "Missed me?"

The three ladies turned towards the one who was driving the carriage, and there he was. Smiling as if he had played the best prank in the world, Minoru sat there.

Mira didn't wait for another moment before pulling him into her embrace, "You had me worried sick."

Minoru chuckled as he rubbed her back, "I am home, Mom."
