Chapter 414: The Smell

Lucia clung tightly to Gastone’s hands as they walked to another part of the town. She glanced at Jorge, who was following behind.

"Don’t worry, I won’t let them do something that can potentially harm you," Gastone whispered and grabbed Lucia’s hands, which were cold to touch.

"T-thank you," Lucia replied timidly. She was still surprised at how protective Gastone was with her, and she appreciated it, but there was one thing on her mind.

’How can I repay Gastone? Will he ask for a payment for the trouble I caused?’ Lucia thought nervously and gulped. She wanted to escape, but she felt guilty leaving Gastone to deal with her mistake.

"Alright, we’re here," the Knight said, looking at Jorge. "I don’t know who you two are, but perhaps dress normally when you go out next time. I don’t want the same problem to repeat twice," he added.

"Don’t worry about it. Thank you for this," Jorge stated sternly and nodded at the group of knights. He bribed them with gold coins to protect Gastone’s identity and an uprising trouble in the town.

In the public’s eyes, Gastone was held as a prisoner and seeing him roaming freely outside the Sabrecrown’s city had two possible results. Either the wolves would get scared of their lives, or they made Gastone’s life miserable.

It would only bring another problem to the New Monarch, which Draco didn’t want to happen.

"We’ll be going now," the Knight stated, gesturing for his comrade to go while splitting the coins between them.

Jorge sighed and faced Gastone. He took a paper bag from his cloak and gave it to him. "I’ve already retrieved your horse. Let’s go back to the house now," he stated before pointing at the faraway tree where their horses were tied.

Gastone frowned since he didn’t want to leave yet. He felt like a failure as a mate, and without any authority made him pissed. He used to get away with everything he did and could desire many things before, but he was trying his best to cope with the changes.

"Let’s go for now. We’ll go back here after a week," Gastone smiled awkwardly and dragged Lucia with him. He was nervous Lucia would hate him after their ’date’ was ruined.

Lucia stared at Gastone without a word. She didn’t like continuing to shop with Gastone if he became insensitive to her emotions and was fine going home early.

Gastone took Lucia’s hand to help her climb the horse, but she swatted his hands away.

"I can manage," Lucia muttered and looked at the horse. It was much taller than her, but she was willing to try. She grabbed the saddle and used her arm strength to lift herself and was able to put her body, but she couldn’t lift her legs.

Lucia looked like a sack of rice being carried in the bag.

Jorge bit his lips and turned to the other side to prevent himself from laughing.

Gastone, on the other hand, was looking at Lucia like she was crazy. He crossed his arms with a smirk playing on his lips and wanted to see how far Lucia’s stubbornness could go.

"Ugh!" Lucia struggled for another ten minutes but gave up. She hated how the heavy gown she wore hindered her movement. She sighed in defeat and glanced at Gastone. "Please help," she muttered lowly.

"I don’t know why you’re acting like that. You’re physically weaker since you’re a woman. That’s why you need me to assist you, a man," Gastone stated, rolling his eyes before lifting Lucia’s feet to settle her on the saddle.

Lucia frowned at Gastone’s words and didn’t know how to react. She knew she was weaker, but using the gender to specifically compare the strength didn’t sit well with her.

Gastone pulled up and sat behind Lucia. Their heat combined and made Lucia uncomfortable, while Gastone liked it.

"Are you done? Your— *cough* Lord Gastone?" Jorge covered his mistake since he was used to calling Gastone by his previous title.

"We can go," Gastone stated, making his horse walk first, letting Jorge stay behind them.

Lucia was puzzled by the title ’Lord’ given to Gastone. She knew he had money, but not that kind of rich. She was in deep thought when she felt an extreme pain in her womb, like thousands of needles pocking into her organ.

"Ah!" Lucia yelled in pain and held her hips. Her body bent forward to lessen the pain she felt.

"Are you alright?" Gastone panicked and pulled Lucia, but she shouted for him to stop. He didn’t understand why she reacted like that and rejected him again. "I’m just trying to help," he stated sternly.

"L-let’s go h-home!" Lucia shouted and buried her face on the horse’s neck.

"Maybe it’s her period," Jorge commented, which received a glare from Gastone.

"Stay out of our issues," Gastone snapped, flicking the horse to move faster. He wanted to go to his house as quickly as possible to interrogate Lucia.

It didn’t take long before they arrived, and Lucia used her last remaining strength to go straight into her room without waiting for Gastone and locked the door.

"Ugh! I f-forgot!" Lucia muttered after flopping into her bed and curled like a newborn child. The pain kept increasing and nearly affecting her consciousness.

"Lucia! What’s going on!? Tell me," Gastone shouted outside the door and continued knocking loudly, but Lucia ignored him. He didn’t stop and banged the door harder.

For Gastone, he was entitled to know everything about Lucia since he was her mate and for her to hide any secret made his pride shattered, and he didn’t like it.

"Lucia! I will break the door if you don’t respond!" Gastone shouted with a threatening voice.

Lucia couldn’t even form a single word due to the pain, but she didn’t want Gastone to see her like that.

"G-get away! I-I’m pooping!" Lucia replied softly. Her voice barely escaped her mouth, but Gastone could hear them due to his sensitive hearing.

"Oh, okay. Poop, well," Gastone was taken back and cringed in disgust. He rubbed his nose before escaping since he didn’t want to smell the foul feces scent.
