Gardenia of Blooming Desire

Chapter 206: Eulogy of the Prince 28

I dashed as fast as I could to Grand Duke's mansion in Roagelt, Irion already contacted the best doctor in the capital city and brought him personally to treat Milord. My hand was trembling, because this was the first time I saw Milord get wounded like this.

Every time I jumped from one roof to another, I checked Milord's breath. I felt relieved because he was still breathing constantly.

When I finally arrived at the mansion, Irion was already there with the doctor. The doctor was flustered when he saw a beautiful man being carried with wounds and bruises around his body.

"Please check him," I asked. The doctor nodded and he checked Milord's heartbeat, wounds and breathing. He sighed in relief, "Grand Duke Aster is fine, but he must've hit his head somehow. But there is no fatal wound, the wounds can be healed quickly with ointment, but the bruises would need some time. However, I suggest him not to move around too much for a few days, because there are many deep bruises, did he fall or something?"

I fell silent for a minute before replying to the doctor, "He was flung to the ground by the Crown Prince."

"Ah tthen, my bad, Crown Prince must've his own reason" the doctor seemed to be nervous when I mentioned Crown Prince Charles. I frowned and said lightly, "He is just insane."

The doctor was frightened, he immediately packed all his tools and then excused himself, he said this before he left, "PPlease refrain yourself from insulting Your Highness Crown Prince, he will end you."

I was stupefied with his panicked demeanor, as if mentioning the Crown Prince was at the same level as mentioning a god. I glanced at Milord pitifully;

'Crown Prince has this great influence towards everyone in Golden Camellia, no wonder you are very stressed about the situation'

'I am sorry for being insensitive, Milord'

I was immature whenever I got jealous, whenever I felt that I was useless and when I could only watch Milord becoming Crown Prince's lover in the eyes of the public. But when I saw how brave Milord was as he was trying to protect me despite my weakness, I realized that I never looked at Milord as a human, but a god.

"Irion, I will treat Milord myself, please leave first," I said. Irion sighed and then left the room. There was only me and Milord now in this room. I kneeled beside the bed, stripped Milord's shirt and pants, and took the alcohol and cotton to wipe all wounds on his body.

Milord unconsciously twitched whenever the alcohol touched his wound, and my heart was shattered whenever he did so.

'Milord, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being useless. I'm sorry because I can't protect you.'

'Milord, you shouldn't have blocked the Crown Prince. Because I know you are also scared. Your legs are trembling and your pale skin became even paler, but you decided to protect me'

'Do you really love me so much? How about your own life? Don't you know that your life is very precious?'

I pinched the wet cotton between my fingers, my heart was pricked with thorns. I continued treating Milord's wounds although my hand was shaking, "Milord, why did you do that? Did you suddenly realize that I am also a coward, so you decided to protect me? I'm not a coward anymore, Milord. At least for you, I will not yield"

"Seeing you like this, I" tears started falling on my cheek, I sobbed and held Milord's hand gently, "I love you, Milord. But you don't need to love me back at least don't love me this much! Your life is more precious than this, what if something bad happened to you"

"I will not forgive myself."

I continued treating all Milord's wounds and bruises, and then dressed him with thin garment and covered his body with a warm blanket. He looked like a sleeping angel, free from all worldly matters, even though he just got hurt by the Crown Prince.

I decided to kneel beside the bed and safeguard Milord for the whole night. I held his hand gently and kissed it, "Milord, I will protect you."

'Prince Rama sleep well'

'Prince Rama, please stay quiet, we will send you to your uncle, he is only a city lord, but he will be able to protect you for the time being. Stay safe'

'Prince Rama Prince Rama'

"Ramuja, wake up," I heard a familiar voice that woke me from my slumber. Milord was smiling at me, I immediately held his hand and said, "Milord, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

"What are you sorry for? It was me who provoked Charles, you are just protecting me."

"But I failed"

"You didn't, dummy. If you failed, I would've been captured by Charles," Milord gave his warm smile and then patted my head, "What did you dream last night? You keep saying Prince Prince Prince."

"I don't know, Milord. I just keep having this weird dream for years"

Milord laughed at me, "I hope it's not a naughty dream about us, because I'll be mad if you really did so."

"WWhy?" my cheek felt hot all the sudden. I thought Milord could read my mind at some point, because it was true, that I had a lot of wet dreams with his Milord. Some of it was really wild too.

"Mhm~ Ramuja have some wild dreams about his master," Milord teased lightheartedly, "How impudent, you are disrespecting your own master like this, what kind of shameful play was in your dreams about this lord of yours?" Milord raised his brows mischievously.

'Bondage, public, sadism-masochism, anal beads, deep throat, raw, creampie' I could list almost all kinds of plays inside his daily dreams, but he lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "It's nothing much."

Milord laughed again and then he glanced at the window, "It's fine, you are not the one to blame. Because to be honest, it went according to my plan. It was ten times more effective than the one in my head in fact."

"But everyone will see you as a seductress I'm sorry Milord, I really didn't mean to ruin your image. I just want them to see you as beautiful but deadly lord, so they would never underestimate you"

Aster grinned, "The idea popped because of your garment of choice, so I have to thank you for that. Besides, don't you see? The impact will be really huge because of yesterday's event."

"What do you mean, Milord?"

"Charles' insane behavior last night must've repelled some of his current allies and potential allies, no one would want a mad king. Camellians are traumatized by my grandpa's madly-in-love behavior, they don't want it to repeat."

"But they saw you and the Crown Prince as a true lover" this one, I felt like it was partly my fault, because I was the trigger. I tried my best to brush off that stupid jealousy, but I couldn't.

"Some of them will rethink that, because not everyone wants a rough and crazy man as their spouse," Milord pinched my chin, our eyes met, "Just like me, I don't like a rough and crazy man. Though, I am willing to follow some of your dreams if you want to realize it."

I blushed instantly, and something down there was getting really hard.

Milord seemed to notice it, he giggled and then pecked my lips. I was stupefied for a moment, and then kissed his lips harder. However, I dared not to continue, because of Milord's condition right now.

"Milord, I will bring you some food. Please wait," I said.

Milord pouted like a cute child, "At least calm yourself first before leaving this room, your huge bulge will make every maid outside go crazy for you."

"TThen, will you"

King Chandra was sitting on the throne solemnly with his ministers surrounding a map, they had been searching for their missing crown prince for years without any result. At some point, they were about to give up and declared that Prince Rama had died when Golden Camellia invaded for the second time.

There were plenty of other princes from King Chandra, but none was destined by their god to be the one to inherit the throne. To be able to inherit the throne, he must be blessed by the god, proved by the symbol on his back.

They already searched in every country possible without any result, until a few months ago, an envoy arrived at their gate. He said that he had news about Prince Rama's whereabouts, he was an envoy sent by a high aristocrat from the said country.

"Prince Rama is in Golden Camellia, sold as a slave for years Your Majesty, what should we do?"

King Chandra's eyes were solemn, he clenched his cane tightly, "Golden Camellia destroyed and colonized our country for years until we finally took it back, it is natural for us to take our prince back. Prince Rama shall return to his kingdom."
