Mars focused his attention on Emmelyn who was eating. He wondered whether Emmelyn was already pregnant or not. It's been almost a month since they were doing 'that' regularly, right?

And every time, he always made sure he released his seeds inside her womb. So, if they were both healthy, they should be able to conceive easily.

Maybe they should see Doctor Vitas to check on Emmelyn's health. Mars couldn't wait to find out whether he would soon become a father, or not.

Since meeting his cousin Athos's children in Southberry, and especially since holding little Jorei in his arms, Mars's fatherly instinct had kicked in and it became more intense by the day.

He was eager to cuddle their baby, the child created from their loving union. Even though Emmelyn still didn't want to admit her feelings, Mars was convinced that the girl loved him back.

Ahh .. he couldn't wait to carry his child, pamper him, and teach him everything he knew.

Mars swallowed hard. He took a jug of wine and poured himself a cup. While waiting for Emmelyn to finish eating, he decided to sit down enjoying the wine beside her.

Emmelyn ate quietly. During her time alone with the fish, she had managed to calm her feelings.

She realized, now Wintermere had fallen and become Draec's colony. She couldn't turn back time and change everything.

Instead, she must focus on the future. Emmelyn currently had two options. If she succeeded in killing the king, then she would get the satisfaction of getting her revenge, and her life would end here. She could die smiling.

She didn't really mind dying at this age, because after all, even though she was young, Emmelyn had seen the world. She had traveled across ten kingdoms on the continent of Terra and she event went as far as Atlantea.

However, if it turned out that she couldn't find a good opportunity to kill the king she wouldn't try to act foolishly. She was not stupid to die trying. She would only kill the king if she knew she would be successful.

If she couldn't find such an opportunity, then she could continue her contract with Prince Mars.

She would bear children for him and then return to Wintermere as a free woman. Not only her freedom, but she would also get Wintermere back.

Her kingdom would be the only other sovereign kingdom on Terra.

Once everything was over, Emmelyn would start her life over and set her own path.

After spending so much time pondering about it, Emmelyn realized she did not want to linger over Wintermere and her family's death. It would only make her sad.

"What were you doing earlier?" Mars asked in a tone as neutral as possible. He wanted to know if Emmelyn had spent two hours thinking and now feeling better or if she was still upset.

"Not much. Just watching the fish in the pond," said Emmelyn. "Your fish pond is very nice. After I sat there for a long time watching the fish, my feelings became calm."

Mars nodded happily. "Indeed that is the reason I have the pond made. A minister has a pond like that in his villa, and he was the one who told me that having a small fish pond like this around the house will be nice for stress-reliever."

"Then what happens when winter comes? Isn't the pond going to freeze? Then, will the fish die?"

Mars shook his head. "When winter comes, the fish will hibernate and wake up again when spring comes. I think they're used to it."

"Oh, that is good."

Autumn was almost over, and winter would soon arrive. Emmelyn could imagine that their lives would come to a halt during winter because there was not much they could do in that season.

"I'm done eating," said Emmelyn, wiping her lips with a napkin. "I want to rest now."

Mars nodded. He finished the wine and got up. Emmelyn had already gotten up from her chair and walked out of the dining room.

The two of them walked together to the third floor and entered Emmelyn's chamber. Warm water was already prepared in the bathtub for them.

As usual, the servants swiftly provided bath water for the prince as soon as they saw him come out of the chamber to accompany Emmelyn to dinner.

"I'm going to take a bath now, to relax my muscles and then sleep," Mars announced. Emmelyn nodded, said nothing. Mars, who was standing by the bathtub, slowly unbuttoning his clothes one by one, turned to Emmelyn and asked, "Would you like to join?"

Since living together with this scummy prince, Emmelyn had been used to taking a warm bath before going to bed. To her, it was very relaxing and helped her sleep better.

Therefore, when Mars asked Emmelyn if she wanted to take a bath with him, the girl's face flushed red, and she nodded.

The sky outside was dark, and their room was dimly lit by several candles.

Emmelyn waited until Mars finished taking off all his clothes and got into the bath, then she blew out the candle closest to the bathtub so that the room became darker. Then she took off her clothes.

Mars just laughed internally at the girl's behavior. Emmelyn still didn't know that Mars could see in the dark, so what she did was useless.

Mars could still see every curve of the girl's body in all its beauty, even though the atmosphere around them was completely dark.

However, Mars decided to say nothing. He would let Emmelyn think he couldn't see her in the dark, to make the girl feel more comfortable.

After removing all her clothes, Emmelyn then stepped into the bath. Mars watched everything the girl did with a smiling face.

Ahh ... he really missed Emmelyn's sexy body sharing the bath and bed with him. As Emmelyn sat on the other end of the bath, Mars stared at the girl's face lovingly.

Ahhh ... he missed their routine so much. After soaking and relaxing their bodies, they could vent their longing and make love in bed.

He couldn't wait!
