Tangled By Fate

Chapter 323 - [Bonus ]I WANT TO KISS HER



"How useless! What else can you tell us?" Darius was pissed.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But that's all I know. Please have mercy!" the fake Arthur begged.

"What's your identity? Why were you in prison?" Veronica inquired.

The fake Arthur introduced himself, "I'm Dion, a professional thief. I lived in Silvertein before I was caught stealing a necklace. I was in prison for three months and was dying in starvation when that guy came and took me away."

"Not professional enough, I see." Darius sneered. Then, he looked at Arthur. "What are we going to do with him?"

"Take him to the prison. Leave him there. Also, the other one; find out his identity too. We need to know everyone's information and how they were being picked up," Arthur instructed him.

"All right." Afterward, Darius dragged him away from Arthur's office.

Veronica glanced at her husband. "The enemy made their move here. I guess they already know that we are here. They have the latest information. Just whenever we are together, the fake 'you' appears. This is getting scary."

Arthur got up from the seat and approached her. After that, he carried her in his arms and walked back to his chair.

"What are you doing? Let me go!" Veronica lightly pushed his chest.

"What are you worried about? No one will see us here." Arthur sat on the chair and placed her on his lap. He kept her close to his chest and stroked her head. "Don't be scared. As long as I'm here, I won't let anything happen to you."

Veronica leaned her head against his shoulder. "I'm not worried about myself. I'm worried about you. The Imperial family already doesn't like you. If they find a flaw in their reputation, what do you think will happen? I'm afraid something bad will happen to you and I don't have enough power to protect you."

"You want to protect me?" Arthur found her answer adorable. He couldn't help but smile.

Veronica could sense his voice changed a bit. She raised her head to look at him. She fumed when she noticed him chuckling on his own. She was embarrassed for what she said but didn't show it. 

Rather, she reprimanded him, "Why are you smiling? Did I say something funny? I was being truthful!"

"I know. I know you are. But still, just who do you think your husband is?" Arthur tried to coax her. "Your husband is the most powerful person in the world. Have a little faith in me, or I'll lose my confidence."

"I know you are powerful but that doesn't mean you are not human. I'm scared of seeing you getting hurt…" Veronica lowered her head. "And, I don't want to separate from you either."

"You won't be separated from me. I will never allow anyone to do that to us again. Once was enough," Arthur promised. 

He pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. "Didn't you say we will do this together? Then what are you afraid of? Don't tell me you are afraid of a little fight?"

At his provocation, Veronica raised her chin. "Only a fool will be scared about a little fight. I'm a warrior with a warrior's pride. There is no way I will be scared of a fight. I can even fight a war."

When she proudly said that she was a warrior, she looked like a child who recently learned how to fight and bragged about it. In Arthur's eyes, it was the cutest thing ever. He wanted to laugh heartily but ended up controlling himself. 'I can't laugh, or I'll hurt her pride. I should endure it,' he told himself.

Veronica shifted closer to him and rubbed her nose against his. "After your work is done, shall we go out? I'll be free in the evening."

Arthur lowered his gaze. His eyes were glued to her rosy lips. He gulped. "Yes, we can do that. I'll finish my work before evening comes."

'I want to kiss her. I want to kiss her. I want to kiss her.' Like a mantra, he kept repeating the same sentence in his head again and again.

Veronica's face beamed when he agreed to go with her. She pecked on the corner of his lips and stood up from his laps. "That's great. I'm going to prepare for my lesson. Roxana will be coming in a minute."

Then, she quickly turned around and left the room. Her husband failed to see her red face. After the door was closed behind her, she covered her face. Her face felt hot.

'I can't believe he was poking me down there just because I was sitting on his lap. What would happen if I stayed there any longer?' She felt that her legs were weak and her heart was thumping loudly.

On the other hand, after she left, Arthur lowered his head and looked at the thing in between his legs. It was growing like a proud mountain. He let out a deep sigh.

'Just how long do I have to endure this? I'm already tired of playing by myself,' he tiredly thought.

---------

Although Veronica said that she would go out in the evening, before the sun went up to the sky, she was already dead meat. Roxana made her exercise and run five times faster than she was already used to. As a result, whatever energy she had left, was gone.

Later, Ironin wanted a match with her. She wanted to say 'no' but her pride would be hurt if she did that. Thus, she sparred with him and got beaten by him. After an hour, she told herself, 'Ver, you are a loser.'

She dragged her tired body to the upper floor when she saw a female magician. She had dark skin. Her voluptuous and curvy body was attractive. The collar was slightly open and it was showing off her deep cleavage. 

When Veronica looked at her chest, her pupils quivered.. She had never seen such big breasts before. 'OMG! Do they even exist?'
