The Monstrous Grand Duke’s Fake Lady

Soon after Vivian’s assent was given, Knox’s demeanor instantaneously changed to make everything ready.

The butler quickly arrived not long after he was called, which made Knox give him an order while still holding onto her—much more firmly.

The butler immediately understood Knox’s conduct as he didn’t dare to set his eyes even once inside of the bedroom. He simply looked on the ground while receiving his orders in earnest.

“Ah, prepare that thing as well.”

“Pardon…?”

“The thing that was gifted by the chief physician from before.”

“Ahh, I understand.”

Only when the butler had understood all of the orders did Knox finally release the strength in his arms. Vivian, who was quietly listening to the thumping sound of his chest, eventually met with Knox’s gaze.

“Where’s the bathroom located?”

“It’s that door on the north side.”

Vivian’s gaze then took a turn at his words.

It might be due to the fact that she had fairly taken a look around the room when she first arrived as she could easily find the particular door. After much consideration, Vivian raised herself up—still naked—while taking his hand in hers.

“I’ll guide you there. Let’s go.”

“With such an appearance?”

Vivian immediately reddened as Knox’s gaze was intently fixated on her, but she tried her best to stay calm before responding back.

“I know you can’t see that well.”

“But I’m already familiar with this body, so I’m sure I know it very well. Especially towards this sensitive spot of yours.”

As his touch had grazed upon Vivian’s body, she immediately flinched. Still, unlike her body, her sulky pout eventually met up with Knox.

“Are you not going to take a bath?”

“Alright. I’ll stop playing around, then.”

He smiled as he raised his upper body.

Vivian’s face began to heat up once again as his blanket fluttered down—revealing the taut body of his that was without a single stitch on.

She couldn’t see it properly before since she was too engrossed in making love with him, but it was absolutely different now. His nude figure, which had been completely out of bed, was enough to embarrass Vivian.

Vivian could barely hide her sweating palm as she continued to guide him.

As they had gotten closer to the bathroom, Vivian immediately exuded a sigh of relief. The air was too stuffy to breathe, but at the same time, it was definitely enough to keep herself reminded.

Unlike what the Grand Duke had said about his bathtub being small, it was actually quite big. In fact, it was on a scale that had been absolutely incomparable to the basin she used to wash her own body, which caused Vivian to hold down her urge to acclaim excitedly.

“I’m pretty sure that I’ve already warned you not to touch me, right?”

Knox just gave a silent nod to Vivian’s words.

Then, the both of them, each took one edge of the bathtub before naturally heaving a sigh. It seemed like the temperature was adequate in relaxing their evidently tensed muscles.

Seeing how Vivian had gradually settled her slackened body in the bathtub, Knox straight away put the prepared item—that was just beside of him—in the middle of the bathtub.

“What is this?”

“Bath bomb—gifted from a friend of mine. I’ve never used it before because it doesn’t really suit me. But I do think you might want it, so I brought it out after such a long time.”

As soon as Knox’s words were over, the bubbles began to fizz into a shade of pink. Then, rose petals that had appeared like magic had caused the bathroom to exude a fragrant scent at the same time.

Vivian’s face was immediately filled with joy after those series of surprises.

“Woah…”

She wasn’t aware how close her face had gotten to the water as she stirred the water gently. Everything was incredibly breathtaking for Vivian, who was currently experiencing all of these for the first time ever.

She had already forgotten that all of these were supposedly familiar for a Count’s daughter or even the fact that Knox was watching her intently as she caught the petals before smiling brightly.

“It’s absolutely gorgeous.”

Once he heard Vivian’s voice that was as bright as her smile when she looked at him, Knox began to reach out to her—unconsciously. He was trying to bring her close as they were comparatively far away as to when they were in bed, but then, her stubborn hand had put a sudden stop to Knox’s.
