The Web of Knightspur-Chapter 208 - 206

Princess Eleanor could not remember when she fell asleep but she could clearly remember the emotions that were welling up in her body.

She was speechless and overjoyed at the same time. When everything had ended, Christopher gathered her into his arms as he walked off somewhere.

Princess Eleanor could guess where it was but when the wave of warm water touched her body, she knew that she was in the bathtub.

She had a lot to say but the feeling of warmth and comfort was too great to ignore and Princess Eleanor was getting caught up in it.

"This is really nice." Princess Eleanor’s voice was soft like a whisper but it had a sweet feeling to it, making it difficult to ignore.

She could hear Christopher’s laughter but soon she closed her eyes and before she knew it, she had allowed the comfortable feeling to take over.

—--

Opening her eyes and rubbing at her eyes that felt as heavy as lead, Princess Eleanor sat up. She looked around only to experience severe pain wrecking her body.

"Hiss..." Princess Eleanor sucked in a deep breath as she closed her eyes. She was suffering and she was in no position to think about anything else. She had to endure the pain. But it did not really bother her that she had to.

Princess Eleanor looked around only to realize that the man who made a mess of her just yesterday was nowhere to be seen.

"Where did he go?" Princess Eleanor murmured under her breath when a voice came her way from the corner of the room.

"I am here," Sir Kit said as his lips curled up, seeing that she was up from her deep slumber.

Princess Eleanor was nervous after hearing his voice. Even though she knew that she had long crossed the line of being embarrassed with the man, there still was a part of her that was still feeling shy.

Princess Eleanor moved her hand in a hurry as she wrapped her body with the blanket.

A deep and slow laugh could be heard as if someone was enjoying her predicament. "Does the Princess think you should be avoiding me after all that we’ve done?"

Princess Eleanor did not know how to reply to that. She knew that the answer should be no. There was nothing to hide when they had already seen each other in the most vulnerable state.

Princess Eleanor’s hand on the blanket loosened as she lowered it down but to her surprise, she was dressed in a thin nightgown. Sir Kit did not see the subtle changes in Princess Eleanor’s face as he walked towards her with a gentle smile on his face.

"This," Sir Kit said as he took a hold of Princess Eleanor’s hand. His eyes looked straight at the Princess whose gaze was screaming ’What are you doing?’

Sir Kit could not help but smile wider. He extended his hand towards the Princess, making her look at the item in his hands. "This..."

"Medicine..." Sir Kit said in a soft tone. "I know it has been painful for you. This will help reduce the pain."

Princess Eleanor knew what the man was saying but she could not answer. Her face was burning red as she tried to avoid looking into his eyes.

Princess Eleanor did not know what to feel anymore. She was never such a shy person and yet she could not seem to forget last night’s incident, making her unable to stop feeling embarrassed.

’Why is it?’ Princess Eleanor thought, ’Is it because I had sounded so lewd and showed such an image to the man I loved? Is that the reason why I am so nervous around him now?’

Princess Eleanor did not know but she felt like it was a very likely explanation.

"Can I?" Sir Kit’s words brought Princess Eleanor back to reality. Her throat was dry as she looked at him with a shocked gaze.

"That ...." Princess Eleanor tried to move fast to grab the medicinal bottle from his hand, but SIr Kit held onto it highly as he moved it towards her.

"Does the Princess not believe in me?" Sir Kit asked as he blinked his eyes. It was evident that he wanted to make Princess Eleanor feel sorry for him and ultimately give in. But he did not expect that the Princess would not reply. "Is it that you regret yesterday’s decision?"

Princess Eleanor was speechless. The question was shocking in itself as she thought deeply about it.

’Do I regret the decision?’ Princess Eleanor shook her head in a hurry as she pushed the thought away. ’Yes, the decision was influenced by the situation, but I do not regret it. It was a decision I had made with my whole heart. So there is nothing to regret.’

"No." Princess Eleanor murmured but she could see in Sir Kit’s eyes that he did not believe her words. At times like these, Princess Eleanor knew that it was better to show her emotions in actions rather than with words.

Princess Eleanor took a deep breath before she removed the blanket away from her body and spread opened her legs. Her eyes were shining due to a hint of water in them as her voice turned seductive, "Slowly, please..."

Princess Eleanor did not want to sound like this and yet she could help. As soon as she saw Sir Kit taking the cold medicine and applying it on her secret place, a shiver ran down her body.

"Hak..." A moan left her mouth and soon Princess Eleanor bit down on her lips to control her voice.

Sir Kit’s breathing was racing but he knew that the place and the situation were not suitable for anything else to happen. Even though he had burning a desire to devour the Princess yet again, he kept it in check as he applied the medicine like a professional and capped the medicine bottle when the work was done.

Princess Eleanor could not help but look at Sir Kit. He had put the mask back on, and it made her confused. "Why don’t you just remove it?"

Princess Eleanor had seen Sir Kit yesterday. Even though it was nighttime and she could only see him in the candle’s glow, she had seen him. The impact was huge and even if she wanted to, Princess Eleanor could not forget the handsome face of the man she loved. The man who made a mess of her, on this very bed just last night. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Sir Kit smiled as he removed his mask. He could see Princess Eleanor’s expression shifting from innocence to surprise then to happiness.

A laugh escaped Sir Kit’s lips as he asked, "Does Princess think I am handsome?"

"Very!" Princess Eleanor did not deny it at all. After all, it was the truth. The man in front of her was handsome. There was no denying that. "But why did you hide it?"

"The Princess will know soon," Sir Kit smiled as he wore the mask yet again as he was trying to hide his identity.

Princess Eleanor knew that the man in front of her had many secrets but maybe he was not ready to say them out loud. Although Princess Eleanor felt a little hurt, she decided to respect his wishes. They were in a relationship where they trusted each other and Princess Eleanor knew that Sir Kit would tell her his secrets when the time was right.

"Sir Kit ...." Princess Eleanor said in a small tone but soon her words stopped as she saw him moving towards her. His lips touched hers without any restraint as if it was a very natural thing to do.

Even though Princess Eleanor was a little surprised, she accepted the kiss willingly. Maybe she also desired the closeness between them.

Sir Kit moved back as he rested his forehead over Princess Eleanor’s, "Christopher..."

His breaths mixed with hers, as he said, "We established this yesterday... When we are alone, please call me Christopher.."

Princess Eleanor was bewitched. Should it not be a crime to be this handsome and seductive at the same time? But before Princess Eleanor could say anything her stomach rumbled loudly in protest. She was hungry.

Princess Eleanor was embarrassed and her face turned red. She wanted to avoid Sir Kit’s eyes but soon a warm hand touched her cheeks. "Breakfast is all ready for you. If I knew that the Princess would be this hungry, then I would have made you eat first and then applied the medicine."

Hearing such words, Princess Eleanor’s eyes widened. She moved back as she saw Sir Kit standing up, "Should I send someone in to help the Princess?"

Princess Eleanor shook her head quickly. She understood that the someone Sir Kit mentioned must be Nia, and at this time she did not want to show her vulnerable side to her.

"No, I will get ready myself. But I would like to have breakfast with Prince Arlo, will that be possible?" Princess Eleanor’s words were filled with nervousness as if she was afraid that her words would be ignored.

"I will make the arrangements." Sir Kit smiled as he kissed Princess Eleanor’s forehead with love. "The Princess does not have to ask for opinions here, she can just order it if she wishes for it."

Princess Eleanor nodded her head but soon Sir Kit’s next words made her stop her movement. "But if Princess Eleanor does not want anyone else to help her get ready for the day, then should I?"
