nRoselyn the next day woke up with a bright huge smile over her lips, it was probably for the night they spent together or probably because they finally enjoyed some hours alone and she felt like they could finally live in peace and tranquillity.

nAs soon as she woke up from that creaky almost destroyed bed that was nothing compared to the huge soft one Roselyn was used to sleeping in the castle she noticed John wasn't there.

nHer forehead frowned before she forced herself to stand up and gaze around the room in his search. When she didn't find him she dressed and began to search for him in the hall trying to call his name.

nAfter having tried to call him few times and not receiving any answer she decided to follow the trail of noises that lead her in front of a door, she leaned her ear closer to it to listen better and just after recognizing John's voice she opened it. Just to remain completely shocked by the view, her eyes widened and she unconsciously shook her head, she must have been dreaming that couldn't be real, that was surely a nightmare.

n

"W-What!

" she exclaimed aloud when the pinch didn't wake her up and she realized that what she had to see was a nightmare in real life.

nAbout twenty girls all beautiful and well dressed were around John and three of them sat over his lap staring down at him as if he was the most charming man they had ever seen before.

nRoselyn's face became purple and her facial muscles tensed so much for clenching her teeth that her jaw almost hurt.

n

"Roselyn…

" John's voice echoed in the room and for the first time since they've met Roselyn hated the sound of his voice.

nJohn pushed the women he had over his lap slightly up so that they get up allowing him to stand up and reach his wife.

nBut at each step John took Roselyn took two behind,

"I can't believe what I am seeing right now. Do you want to build a harem since you come back to your habitual house?

" Roselyn spat in all her fury not even giving him the need to justify himself.

nA giggle escaped from his lips as he saw her livid face and her clenched fists, even her voice became lower than usual.

nSeeing him laughing drove Roselyn even madder, wasn't he taking her seriously!?? After the night they spent together and the afternoon they quite… enjoyed…?

nRoselyn placed a hand over her hips and knitted her eyebrows to scrutinize him upside down,

"you dare to giggle?

"

nRoselyn scoffed,

"what's so fun about it?

"

nAs soon as she heard the words that slipped out her tongue she realized her question was just silly. What wasn't fun in having so many women all for him? Probably it would be the dream of every man but the nightmare of every woman.

nHe took few more steps toward her and Roselyn kept stepping backward until she found herself crashing against the wall, he smirked finally reaching her but Roselyn stretched her arms to keep him distant even if there were just a few inches afar from each other.

nBut Roselyn wasn't going to make his life so easy and forgive him so quickly even if his deep big eyes were surely testing her vulnerability and she had to bit her cheek internally not to smile like an idiot.

n

"Those women wanted to thank me for establishing the order in Kratez and…

" Roselyn didn't let him finish that her gaze traveled toward every single one of those women to find that there wasn't even a single one of them that was bad looking or wasn't squeezing in a corset that was giving their body the hourglass shape emphasizing their curves. How could she compete against them all those beautiful dolls?

n

"What a nice thought of them!

" Roselyn's voice raised and she unconsciously punched John's chest,

"after the last ni…

".

nJohn couldn't suffocate the laugh anymore and he let it go as he smirked widely,

"Roselyn I haven't done anything with them.

"

n

"And they were sitting on your lap because their legs were so tired of being squeezed into tight dressed and high heels for so long? What a gentleman you are!

" Roselyn whispered as her eyebrows were still knitted down and on her forehead formed new creases.

n

"Just because they sat over my lap that doesn't mean that I would do something with them.

" John rectified, usually he hated when his women made scenes of jealousy but this time he was enjoying it. It was making his heart melt to see how much she cared and how much she feared losing him.

nJohn turned around and indicated to Roselyn,

"ladies, she is my wife.

" The women who had to attend to their conversation without taking their eyes off Roselyn forced a gentle smile even if Roselyn's gaze wasn't showing them kindness at all. If looks could kill Roselyn would have become a serial killer in a matter of few seconds.

n

"You have to thank her if we established the order to Kratez because if it wasn't for her I wouldn't even be here,

" John explained. The women's smile became slightly gentler and truer.

n

"I don't need to be thanked,

" Roselyn said still angry.

nShe hated how women were obsessed with him and the more she questioned how many women he had before her the more that thought killed her inside.

n

"See you in the next few days. Now if you excuse us and leave us alone…

" John said referring to the women who nodded before neatly walking in line toward the exit of the residence.

nWhen they were finally alone and he turned around to gaze at Roselyn she had her arms folded and her head slightly tilted to glower at him.

nHe smiled and pinched her cheek,

"you're even more beautiful when you are angry.

"

nYet Roselyn kept gazing at him straight into his eyes, and she felt the need to finally ask him the question that had been harassing her since they had been together.. She took a long breath before finally finding the courage to ask him.
