Chapter 74: Affectionate Touching.
So essentially, we just need to sit back and get into a few scuffles here and there before swooping in and taking the throne"
Arthur summarised and got a nod from Renner, who he then gave a peck on the cheek.
"You know some would say you're shoving your relationship into our faces with such obvious acts of affection"
Brain spoke, and Arthur simply shrugged at his words. Although they were true to some extent, sometimes you just gotta show off.
"Edstrom, if you don't mind, could you bring me something to wear"
"Of course, your Highness, also you don't have to worry about the office getting clean up, we already tasked some maids to do that"
Edstrom explained, and Brain once again gave the couple a thumbs up, Arthur simply nodded in acknowledgment. Renner gave her thanks to Edstrom before both the maid and the martial artist excused themselves, exiting the room.
"It's seems like we have some time on out hands"
He said while using his arm to fondle her breast, the feeling of its fleshy smoothness was something else, like a water balloon filled with thick liquid rather than water.
Renner laid her head on his chest, letting out muffled moans and enjoyed the fondling of her breast, while both probably wanted to have sex right now, she was still sore and she needed at least a few hours, plus Arthur's dick was also a bit sore.
"You know I might not be able to walk properly today"
She said, looking up at him, her beautiful turquoise eyes shining as the light refracted on them, their crystalline look adding to the cute features of her face.
Arthur kissed her on the forehead with gentle affection before he calmly responded to her words.
"I suppose that means I did my job, right? What is a man if he can't please his woman"
He said as he grabbed her chin and used his hand to carefully direct her head to look up, allowing him to give her a kiss on the lips before kissing the side of her neck, then her ear before finally kissing the back of her neck.
Renner couldn't help but silently relish the moment, his affectionate kisses made her feel a different type of way, it made her t insides tingle,it was as it should be, her lover lovingly kissing her almost as if he can't get enough of her body.
"If your job was to cripple me, then I suppose you did it right, although how exactly am I supposed to do other things that require my legs?"
She asked jokingly, letting her body lean further onto his body, to sell the idea of being crippled.
"Quite the dilemma, isn't it? Well, you're in luck. Your knight in shining armor is available 24/7, and he shall be your legs"
He said as their hands locked together, her delicate small and feminine hand intertwining affectionately with his masculine and larger hand.
"You can't do everything for me, my knight"
"Oh I assure you, I can"
He informed as he brought their hands close to his face and gave her hand a quick peck on the back of her hand, his action only causing Renner to feel a deeper sense of affection for him
Renner couldn't help but think back on her life, prior to before she met Arthur. Before him she was stuck in a situation that did her no favours, she had managed to get her way when it came to when she will be married despite that she would still end up being a tool used for political purposes.
If Barbro had taken the throne, no doubt he would have sold her off to whatever noble was offering support to the crown, if not that then he probably would have her killed to get rid of any threat to his rule.
Zanac as king would have been better for her, however he too would use her as a bargaining chip at some point, such was the nature of being a princess, though you may live it, your life isn't yours.
But all of that didn't happen and now she has things that she wouldn't have gotten without Arthur, she had never thought of being a ruler, yet with Arthur she was able to make that a goal to work towards.
It may not be an original dream but it is something that she currently wants and probably wouldn't have wanted without Arthur's presence, she can certainly do better than both her father or brothers at being a ruler.
Speaking of being a ruler.
She turned her body and faced him, she gave him a kiss on his lips before looking him in the eyes.
"About you and I being king and queen"
She began, they hadn't properly spoken about it, aside from the one time where they revealed what they wanted, they've never had a proper talk about who's going to do what.
"Yes about that…"
Arthur had his own thoughts on the matter, while he does want to sit on the throne of the king, there are things to consider, like that fact he's a foreigner and such
"For the most part, the nobles are traditionalists. Despite you being a foreigner, they'll still favor you as the ruler. After all, no woman has ever been a ruler before"
She explained, her hands delicately caressing his face.
"I don't particularly have a problem with you as the ruler, as without you I wouldn't even have the opportunity to sit on the throne, however I also don't want to be sidelined, this is my Kingdom too, it's my home…"
She said with resoluteness in her voice, her hands squishing his cheeks, and Arthur couldn't help but stifle an amused chuckle. He grabbed her hand and spoke.
"That's true, besides I wasn't planning on just being the one who rules, both of us need to be rulers sharing equal power of the throne, I say this because it would be unfair on you not to and because I highly doubt everyone would be OK with just me at the seat, so we'll be sharing the power and establish a new ruling system"
He informed, Arthur didn't particularly believe ruling a nation was a single person job plus Renner was quite smart, he needed someone like her as a second head, it's better to have someone of equal power to you, second guessing you and you to second guess them in order for a proper decision to be made.
"That's what I was thinking as well, I believe that the citizens will be more pleased with that form of rule, even if the nobles object to it, as long as the citizens don't it will work."
She concurred, and Arthur kissed her softly, tasting her lips once more. His arms felt her body as he held her close, feeling her warmth. The fact that she belonged to him was unchanged, although there was another that he needed to claim.
