Witch's Daughter And The Devil's Son

Chapter 233: Unintentionally Has Hurt The Pride Of All Men

She moved her hands down to expose the neck of the man in the sketch and again couldn't help but compare it with Drayce.

'His neck is so long and even has that snake tattoo on it. It looks so nice. I even liked that tattoo on his neck. Why don't I have one...Ahh, I have these scales and a flower on my forehead already. That snake looks good on his neck only….his neck…' It reminded Seren when in the boat she sat in his lap and she could smell that different and pleasant scent from him. 'His neck even has a nice scent...that scent makes my heart beat faster…"

Smiling lightly she moved her hands further down towards the chest of that man's sketch and she frowned, 'This man doesn't have a chest like His Majesty. His Majesty's chest felt good when I touched it and even felt his heartbeats…' Her mind dived into the memories from that night when Drayce had asked her to undress him. How hesitant she was but later she couldn't take her eyes off of his chest.

Being immersed in the memories from that night, Seren forgot her study and again sat like before with her elbow resting on the table and face resting on her palm. A pleasant smile painted on her lips as she stared ahead blankly while those memories played in front of her eyes.

Suddenly the door of the study opened and Seren saw the handsome man she was thinking about entering the study and felt like it was a dream. Smiling, she continued to look at him till Drayce walked towards his study table but she didn't stop staring at him.

The moment Drayce entered the study, he saw her staring at him in a daze. He continued to walk towards his work table which was exactly opposite to the door while the woman, who was sitting at the work table kept on the right side of his work table which was perpendicular to it, continued staring at him even though he walked past the front of her work table and sat on the chair behind his own work table.

Drayce thought she would stop looking at him now at least but he could still sense her gaze on him. 'Only if she knew what she was doing and why. I can hear her heart beating louder than ever,' he sighed and pinched his nose bridge helplessly as her every action was only adding to what he was feeling.

No one dared to look at him even by mistake for more than a moment but his wife was the one who stared at him without caring about the consequences. It was a different thing that the consequences she would be facing would be different from others.

Seeing her not giving up on staring at him, he finally looked at her and noticed her sight was not fixed on his face but was rather fixed at his chest. She was no less than a pervert but the only difference was she was doing it unintentionally.

"My Queen!" Drayce called her.

She finally moved her gaze up from his chest to his face and found that pair of red intimidating eyes staring at her and it brought her back to her senses. This time she calmly moved her hand back from the table which was resting at her elbow and slowly put it down to sit straight on her chair.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Till where have you reached in studying that book, My Queen?" He asked gently, but his intentions were to stop her from staring at him.

"Till your chest...Umm...I mean the chest of this man," she immediately covered up her blunder.

Drayce had already heard her but didn't pay attention to it. He didn't wish to embarrass her when she was studying and maintained a calm and cold face.

"My Queen, make sure to read everything carefully because later I will be asking you questions to know what you have understood," Drayce informed.

She blinked a few times and thought, 'I am not a fool to not understand after reading anything. I have read even more difficult and heavier books than this. Martha never asked what I understood but seems like he doubts if I can understand it or not.'

Seeing her not answering, he asked again, "Understood, my Queen?"

Seren immediately nodded to that cold and strict sounding voice, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Drayce resumed his work and decided to not pay attention to what she does. He was sure after this she would read something and her reaction might make him go crazy like how she had affected him till now. He had no other option but to act cold to hide what he was feeling.

Seren moved her hand down further and saw the man's flat stomach with a navel region. 'His Majesty's stomach looked finer than this that day when I saw it. This man looks to not have proper body shape,' she thought and slowly peeked at Drayce to see his stomach which was half visible, and the lower half was hidden behind his work table.

Not being able to see it, she consoled herself, 'No need to see. I have even seen it without clothes. I can tell His Majesty has it better than this man,' she assured herself and shifted her focus back to the book.

Drayce knew what she was doing and slowly exhaled through his mouth and breathed deeply. 'This woman will surely make me go crazy soon.'

Seren moved her hand further down to expose the next part only to get puzzled by what she had seen. "Huh?"

Drayce heard that 'Huh' and felt like blocking his mind from hearing anything from her further. He knew why she reacted like that.

She moved her hands completely from the picture and stared at what she was seeing between the man's legs.

'Did the artist draw something wrong?' she thought and flipped the page to check the naked woman's picture. 'It looks so different.' She moved back to where she was and stared at the man's picture for a moment, 'Is it some kind of body deformity? Why does it look so weird? Do all men have such deformity?'

She then looked at Drayce and her sight moved down only to be obstructed by his work table that hid the lower half of his body behind it. She turned her head a little to her left to see if she could still manage to see him from the side of the table but heard the voice which disturbed her.

"My Queen, have you finished reading the book?" He asked, not looking at her but could still sense her every movement.

Seren immediately resumed her straight sitting position and replied, "Not yet, Your Majesty."

"Once you finish reading that book, I will take you somewhere," he informed.

"Where, Your Majesty?" she asked.

He finally looked at her, "You will know when we go there."

She could only nod but then thought to ask, "Your Majesty!"

"Yes, My Queen?"

"Your Majesty, you said you have read this book? Are you sure there are no mistakes in this book?" she asked.

"There is no mistake, My Queen" he replied calmly, looking at her questioning and puzzled eyes.

"Umm...Ohh...So, do all men really have this body deformity?" she asked curiously.

"Deformity?" Drayce repeated and realized what she meant. But before he could answer, she asked again, "Do you also have such deformity, Your Majesty?"

It turned Drayce utterly speechless and he could only look at his young Queen in disbelief. The most important thing in one man's life which made different from women, this young Queen had called it a deformity. She had unintentionally hurt the pride of all the men. He had expected her to feel shocked or embarrassed but he had not expected her to call it a deformity. The shocking reaction he was expecting from her and the one he was hoping to enjoy, didn't happen.

Drayce breathed deeply as never in his entire life had he felt this helpless, "My Queen, that is not a deformity. This is how a man and a woman are different."

Seren thought for a moment and looked back at the picture. She observed what was there that woman didn't have and looked back at Drayce.

Before she could ask something weird, Drayce spoke, "My Queen, you should read the next pages to get the right answers."

Swallowing her questions back, Seren looked back at the book and flipped the next page. Just like the images that showed the development of the woman's body, this time there were multiple pictures that showed the development of the man's body. It had images of a baby boy to an elderly man.

Seren studied those images while comparing them with the images of a woman's body. She saw the images showed the changes in man's body as they showed it developed with age. The deformity she found was there since the image of the baby and it lasted till the elderly man.

'So they have it since birth,' she concluded, 'But why like this? It looks so uncomfortable,' she sighed pitying all the men, 'Poor people.'
