Chapter 191 Kisses and duties.
Melissa woke up from the bed, stretching. She was way too tired to even try and get up from the bed. Sleep has been the only thing she'd been doing for the past three days. She hasn't even tried to get out of her room. She forced herself to even bathe at all.

Richard had been the one running her errands, although he soon grew tired and started sending Vanessa and Candice who were not particularly happy that their breaks were always disturbed by a very annoying man who sent them silly errands.

Melissa on the other hand had been getting away with all this by repeatedly telling Richard that she needed to rest for his child. The latter hears those words and angrily does whatever she asks of him. It has been three days now and she knew her moment of social graces were over. She needed to actually stand up.

She rolled out of her bed and stretched again. She muttered something unintelligible to even her as she walked into the bathroom to freshen up. She hadn't heard anything from Richard since yesterday, in fact he hadn't slept in her room or the castle at all. All he did was post two guards in front of her door.

He also needed rest and Melissa wasn't annoyed however she was planning to act absolutely annoyed when next she saw him. She was definitely going to be angry at him for no reason at all. She enjoyed when he pets her and she has found herself increasingly wanting to be around him and feel his touch more than necessary.

She got out of the bathroom and then dressed up. The moment she finished doing that she arranged her bedspread and then folded the cover. While she was doing this Richard and both her maids walked in.

“Good morning, your majesty,” the maids greeted and her mate just glanced at her with a raised eyebrow and rolled his eyes.

She scoffed. “Good morning,”she greeted the maids and then turned to Richard. “What is wrong with him?” She asked the maids so loud that he could hear.

“I don't know,” Candice replied. “He seemed to be in a good mood since this morning,” she said. “Probably you have something to do with it my lady?”

“No I do not, what sort of silly accusation is that?” Melissa argued with her arms spread out.

“Yeah, your majesty was a handful in the last two days,” Vanessa chuckled.

“Oh you two are on team Richard now right? No qualms,” she said. “I am not gonna utter a word,” she said.

“Just sit down, Madam Beatrice said to tell you that she has prepared your speech for today's interview and that you should get back to her immediately, so you can rehearse it,” Candice recounted.

Melissa looked the girl in the face. “What interview?” She asked.

“You are supposed to speak to the kingdom about the terrorist attack and how you caught them,” Vanessa said. “Did you read the schedule I gave you yesterday?” She asked.

“Schedule? You gave me a schedule?” Melissa replied and Vanessa grunted.

“You didn't read it, by the moon,” Venssa muttered. “I thought that is why you are up early and you knew your schedule today was hectic and long,” she said.

“I had no clue, I just felt like I had enough strength to work today,” she said.

Vanessa went to her work table and shuffled through the files there and brought out a piece of printed paper. “Here is your schedule,”she said.

Melissa nodded and took it, she was about to start folding it when Venssa looked at her and said with a commanding voice. “Read it!” She pestered.

“Okay,” she rolled her eyes and started to read the schedule. Today alone she was supposed to go to the news and also meet the council for a meeting. She already felt tired by glancing at them. Vanessa shook her head and then looked at her.

“Also my lady, I forgot, I am supposed to show you something,” she said. “I will bring it later in the evening, it is a little bit sensitive so I do not want Candice's immature nose snooping around it,” she said and the other maid glared at Vanessa with her tongue out.

The maids began to dress her and make her up while Richard just sat on her bed, reading some book and chuckling to himself while doing it. The entire hour went by fast and she was already done dressing up.

They 'd dress her up in a wine gown that only reached above her knees from the front but had a long dragging tail behind her. She'd also showed a tiny bit of her midriff up front and she found herself looking a little hot. Then she walked up to the cooped up Richard and tapped him. He looked at her for a few seconds. “Let's go to Beatrice, she is probably waiting for you,” he said.

“What!” She exclaimed, “you are not gonna tell me how I look?” She asked.

“Nah, I'll pass,” he said and started to tumble out of the bed and Melissa caught a small coy smile on his face.

“Vanessa and Candice,” she started, but the two didn't wait for her to finish.

“We are leaving already, do not ruin the cloth,” Candice said and they both walked out.

“Oh, so you are angry?” She asked Richard to have the two left and confronted him. She wanted to look him eye to eye but her head barely reached his chin so she had to look up to see him.

The latter just chuckled looking at her and instead of replying to her, he kissed her and she didn't resist him, she put her arm around his neck and kissed him deeper than she ever thought she could. “I love you,” she said glancing into his eyes.

“We are not supposed to ruin the clothes though,” he said.

“How about we ruin it tonight?” She asked, biting her lips seductively.

“Sounds nice,” he smiled and then kissed her again.
