Chapter 153: Basic courtesy as a husband

" Scram!"

This was something that Yakov had expected and thus wasn’t surprised when Bree chased him out of the tent with a fireball aimed right at his face, he hurriedly strode outside, his face still dripping with Bree’s bath water and chuckled when he heard her rage inside the tent.

Sure enough, she was an interesting woman.

Much more so than a woman who dared to threaten him out of nowhere, Yakov raised his eyes and looked at Harley, she was busy chatting up with a knight who for some reason was blushing. Was she that beautiful? Yakov didn’t know ever since he was a young child, he saw many women who were much prettier than Harley and among them, the prettiest was Bree with her sharp dragon eyes and sharp features as if she was a dragon incarnated as a human instead of just being a dragon shifter.

Maybe his gaze was a bit too burning because Harley turned her head in his direction and smiled, her smile laced with a hint of proactiveness. What an annoyance.

" She really thinks that she is something," Yakov drummed his fingers behind his back, his smile stayed as it was but his fists were slightly clenched. He understood that this was his own fault and in fact, he wouldn’t have cared if the woman inside the tent was the previous Brianna Dragniere, she and him have been at odds with each other from the day they married and even if he did something like that she wouldn’t have cared, at most she would have ordered him to be taken away to the Dark tower and whipped a thousand times with barbed whips, this was something he was used to and would have handled it very well but —— the woman inside wasn’t the old Brianna Dragniere, she was someone who was courageous but at the same time she was wary of things or person who could prove dangerous to her.

If she found out that he had such a plan in his head, then she would be terrified. Maybe she would walk out of his life and keep him at bay, just like before —— and Yakov wasn’t prepared for that, he wasn’t prepared to lose the smiles that he got when he was with the current Bree, a bit more ...he wanted to hold on to her a bit more... such that he will become a little more important to her.

Until then, this darkness that he has inside of him, can’t be shown to her.

With one last glance at Harley, he turned around and walked away, since Bree cannot find out about his plan it was better for him to make it impossible for Harley to say anything to Bree. Something that wouldn’t be too difficult.

" Aileen!" Yakov walked to the hidden groove in the forest and then called for Aileen, being master and aide for so long, he knew that Aileen would arrive in just one call from him and sure enough, he arrived within a second. With one of his hands carefully held behind his back and one in front, Aileen bowed in front of Yakov. " You called me master."

" Are you done taking care of the situation?" asked Yakov since something like being attacked by a mountain golem happened, Yakov knew that the aftermaths weren’t easy to deal with.

" I have brought extra carriages for you and the others," answered Aileen his head still bowed in submission. " But I couldn’t bring much food, given that it would have altered the old ministers and they would have made things difficult for second consort and Dion."

Yakov nodded. " You have done well."

" Thank you for your praise, master." With a quick glance, Aileen once again looked down before he asked, " Is there something else that you want me to do, master?"

" That’s right," with his eyes squinted Yakov stared at his reflection in the small puddle on the ground. " I want you to take care of that maid, Harley ...she seems to have grown a lot of backbone in just a few months, now she is bold enough to threaten me with the knowledge of my plan, I wish nothing more than killing her with my own hands but,..." he paused as he looked at Aileen. " The Queen has announced the decree that no alpha shall harm an omega without a proper reason, and since my reasons are less than proper, then I can’t take care of that woman, my hands are tied, very unfortunately but I am sure you can take care of her, Aileen. She will be waiting for me behind the lake around midnight, go and take care of her since she likes to threaten people so much, I will show her what it means to threaten an alpha."

" As you wish master."

Yakov returned to the camping area without much change in his expression as if he didn’t just order his aide to wipe out someone’s existence from the world and went inside his tent. Bree was done bathing and was now dressed in a long robe with a towel in her hands as she wiped her hair and looked up when he came inside the tent, she glanced at him lightly, snorted and then went back to drying her hair.

" Are you still upset with me, your majesty?" asked Yakov with a slight smile, looks like his wife was still angry with him about what happened earlier.

Bree didn’t even bother herself with replying to the jerk, he not only strode inside the tent when she was washing but also peered right at her while he was washing her hair, she was sure that even with all the bubbles he might have seen something and just that alone was enough to make Bree uncomfortable all over again.

" I apologise if my actions upset you, your majesty but we are husband and wife...is it really that bad that I saw you while bathing...I have seen all of you so why does it matter——"

Before Yakov could finish his sentence, Bree turned around with a towel in her hand and smacked him on the arm with it before snapping waspishly, " It matters because even if we are husband and wife, there is something called privacy. You can’t invade my privacy ...stopping outside the room and waiting for your wife to finish changing is a basic courtesy as a husband! And you don’t have the slightest bit of tact either! If I don’t get angry should I throw myself at you?"
