"I-I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. I’m sure you two have secrets that I shouldn’t know," Long Xiurong refused. However, deep down, she was curious if Queen Swan had written something about her because she had promised to help Long Xiurong and Rock get together.
"I have nothing to hide from you, Lady Long," Rock stated. "I think it’s only fair since you’ve been keeping my presence secret. You could always tell His Majesty about my presence, but you didn’t. So, I trust you enough."
Long Xiurong hesitated for a few seconds. She stared at Rock as if searching for assurance. Rock gently held her hand and guided her to sit at the edge of the bed while he sat next to her.
Honestly, he didn’t care if Long Xiurong knew about the content of the letter or not. He was doing this so he could have a reason to sit next to her and take a whiff of the scent around her nape.
He opened the letter but secretly took sniff after sniff of her scent like a dog in heat. He bit his lip, as he gradually realized one thing, ’There’s no mistake. Her scent is truly one of a kind. It’s really hard to control myself right now.’
Rock didn’t want to scare Lady Long just like when he scared his Princess Swan back then. He knew the situation was different, but what he did to his Princess back then was too horrible to even think of. It made him feel like he would hurt Lady Long as well.
Rock crossed his legs as he tried to hide his boner. Luckily, the angle of the letter made it possible for him to cover his bulge with the letter. But the whole situation felt stimulating because now it seemed like Long Xiurong was looking at his crotch.
Rock shook his head lightly and berated himself, ’Focus, Rock Silverfang! You don’t want to scare her, right? I don’t want to hurt someone else after I failed Princess Swan before!’
Pushing his improper thought aside, Rock decided to focus on the letter and read it;
*Swan’s Letter*
To my dearest knight, Rock Silverfang.
I’ve received your letter and read it well.
I’m so glad to hear you are doing well. I was worried that something might’ve happened to you during your escape to the north continent. But I shouldn’t have doubted you, since I know that you are the second strongest after my husband.
My dearest knight, I am in good health, and the situation around the castle has gotten better as well. You do not need to worry about me.
I prefer you to be as strong as your Alpha, my husband, Gale Stormfront. So you and he can go toe to toe and have a proper conversation without him hunting you down.
However, if the path of becoming as strong as him will lead you to be cursed like he was, then I forbid you to enter the Sacred Selene Lake. My husband suffers every day due to his curse, I don’t want you to inflict the same pain on yourself.
