Chapter 289: healing injuries

Marianne pov contd

I could smell drama in the air.. Mother was angry but was Cassius among the one who would listen? Though he was behaving oddly these days, I could not be so sure.

"I know, i was the one who broke her concentration and disturbed her. It was all my fault. Hope i will be the one to get all the punishments you decide, and my wife can rest. She is already injured." said Cassius with a certain calmness I did not know he had.

My mother blinked as he continued to look at him, after a long pause she finally asked, "So your wife is innocent and you are the guilty one or is it you are trying to protect your wife?" what was with your wife.

I was her daughter first. Wasn't it! I can see the glimmer in her eyes, she was smiling ears to ears. Her anger had vanished, she was just trying to enact it and that also very badly

She nodded her head high, and then said,  "since you are accepting you will get your punishment in the morning. For now both of you are tired, go and take rest" her voice was completely changed from before.

Cassius moved and hugged her as she had not taken the initiative, "we will, mother. Thank you." he replied to the stunned lady, who was so last that she did not even react.

Surely she was trying to get close to him and maintain a good relationship as mother in law. But Cassius taking the initiative and hugging her was something unimaginative for her old soul too.

He moved and held my hand as we climbed the stairs. While I just turned and shook my head when mother finally came to her senses and blinked.

As I entered Lina and Daulla followed me and so Clara and one other maid followed him.

"I will take a bath first and then change my bandages, before sleeping '' I told both of them.

"My lord had already sent the message that a physician would come to see your hand in half an hour, once he would treat the knights. Let me help you in taking a bath till then '' I nodded and she followed me to the bath area.

"Your highness, are you all right?" they both asked as they started bathing me.

"I am excellent, just a bit tired. I will be better once i will have enough sleep" i replied but then they both were silent. I turned to look at them, Daulla was looking normal, she just had a smile on her face. While Lina her face was getting red.

My brows raised at her sudden embarrassment. And I followed her eyes, when I found that I had some marks on my breasts. That man had sucked and bit too hard to leave a few marks there. I closed my eyes as if I had seen nothing, but all I could see and feel was the images of that night.

I felt goosebumps on my skin as I remembered what other things have happened and that we have to share the same chamber tonight too.

When I was done they both used a lot of fragrance on my body and I did not need to ask why! I could only bear it. They clad me in a comfortable yet very thin dress, as if they were preparing me for my wedding night. 

"It is very hot today, your highness. You will have trouble sleeping with thick clothes." they said as I narrowed my gaze on the dress.

"Oh, I never knew that such a windy and rainy night could be hot too. I must say your definition of cold and hot had some basic faults' ' she bowed her head but did not change the dress. My comment only increased her speed, she just enacted as she did not hear a word and continued so that she could get there as early as possible.

"Your highness, the physician is here." said a maid entering. I wore my outer robe and he opened my old bandage to cover it with a new one.

"Your highness, the bone of your hand is broken. It will take more than a month to be joined like before, do not put any pressure on it and do not use it in the meantime." he said as he bandaged the hand again.

Then he looked at the other injuries and bandaged them too, "all of your injuries are treated well, your highness. They will heal in a few days. But your body is weak by all the blood loss and exertion. You need a good rest, and good supplements." he continued giving instructions as he put ointment and bandaged the wounds again.

After that he felt Lina helped me in taking off the outer robe again in the name of it being hotter later and I would not be able to take it off myself.

"You may leave too" I told them and they bowed and left.

I looked into the mirror once they left. My hairs were left wet and open, my cheeks were rosy and my eyes were glittering. My dress was looking sensuous even in my eyes, much less a man.

And I was sure it was all my mothers idea. She had become bolder after hearing the endearment font Cassius.

I heard the footsteps and turned to see that Cassius was entering. He had also taken a bath and was wearing fresh clothes. He was clad in loose black pants and white shirt whose threads were left loose to show his chest and muscles.

He looked at me with a smoldering gaze and his Adam apple moved, as his eyes continued to caress my body. I suddenly felt the itch to cover myself with the outer robe but I controlled. His every step was so slow and like a hunter was walking towards his prey. 

i followed his every step he walked towards me and looked into my eyes, his eyes were not leaving me even for a second.
