Chapter 109: Raging Duchess

Rihannan was left alone in the room after Igor left. She wrapped her body with a blanket swiftly before the maidservants arrived. Then she stepped out of the bed.

“Ah…”

But as soon as her feet touched the cold floor, she unconsciously lost strength. Her legs wobbled and she fell to the floor. She knew the issue of her problem. It was not only her lower area aching in pain, her whole body, too, ached in a blaze aflame like it’d been beaten and whipped all night long.

She grabbed onto the bed frame pole and struggled to stand. Meanwhile, Mrs. Cessley came into the room. Behind her were the maidservants holding the bathwater filled full with warm water.

Mrs. Duchess saw Rihannan’s struggle. She gasped in immediate surprise and quickly ran over to her.

“My Queen, are you all right?”

Rihannan looked into her eyes and gave a weak smile. “Mrs. Cessley… I apologize but could you lend me your hand a bit…? I’m a little out of energy right now…”

“Oh my goodness…” Mrs. Cessley propped Rihannan up. She gasped at the sight of her naked body in view between the gaps of the blanket. She turned to the maidservants putting the bathtub down and ordered, “All of you, go outside now. I’ll do Her Majesty’s cleaning for today.”

The maidservants nodded and left the room.

Mrs. Cessley rolled her sleeves up and helped Rihannan into the bathtub.

“What a thoughtless person that foolish king is! To think he’d end up causing his newly-wedded wife to turn into this state on her first night together with him!”

Signs of colorful bruises smothered her body. The spots he held her hard had clear bruise imprinted on her smooth skin.

“He should’ve known that our beloved queen has the type of skin that gets bruised easily, so he should’ve been a little bit more careful during his first night with you,” Mrs. Cessly said in seething anger, “Did that fool even consider my warning at all?!”

She spoke in vehement anger as she rubbed Rihannan’s body with a soapy towel. Despite her rough tone, the hands that cleaned Rihannan’s body was smooth and gentle like she was handling a newborn child.

Though Rihannan was not the one being berated at, she, for odd reasons, made an excuse for his sake.

“He didn’t do it on purpose. So please don’t misunderstand…”

“Of course he didn’t! That foolish king can’t think properly! That’s a given, of course!”

“…..”

Rihannan shut up and said nothing more. If she spoke any further, she’d only anger the fiery duchess. She’d never been yelled at like this, not even from her mother. How to react in this situation, she did not know.

With innocent eyes and pursed lips she looked down and watched the bubbles pop in her hand. She looked like a cute and innocent child who had done wrong.

“If that foolish king plans to embrace you tonight as well, you should kick his bum and shove him out the door. If he insists, cut off his you-know-what. Though I’m sure he’s not that careless, but if he does, by all means, do so. You understand what I mean, right?”

Blushing, Rihannan quickly nodded. Though she’d never do such a thing like kicking the king’s bum or cut off his… she had no courage to say no to Mrs. Cessley who was blazing with anger.

“And My Queen, you shouldn’t allow that foolish king to do as he pleases with you. He’s in that phase right now where he can’t tell from fantasy to reality, so his mind is only filled with those thoughts. If you think that men are simple, know that they’re much simpler than you think. He’s no exception.”

Rihannan was amazed. Mrs. Cessley’s thoughts and adamant opinion amazed her. Her previous Maid of Honor would push her to hurriedly procreate and bear the king a child, but here, Mrs. Cessley spoke the opposite tune.

“But in any case, it does look like you won’t be able to wear the dress prepared for the banquet tomorrow.”

“Yes?” Rihannan had a look of confusion.

“That dress, My Queen, has quite a deep neckline.”

Looking at the red marks kissing Rihannan’s neck and nape, Mrs. Cessley gave a deep sigh.

On the other hand, Rihannan gave a sigh of relief. The subject was changing quickly and she took advantage of it.
