I Don't Want to Be Loved

Chapter 138 To Meet Your Expectations

Chapter 138: To Meet Your Expectation

“There are many areas with wonderful scenery to look at around the hunting grounds. I’m sure you’ll love it, Rihannan. After the competition ends, what do you think of spending a relaxing day together? Just the two us.”

He looked at her, eyes full of anticipation and blithe eagerness.

Rihannan pursed her lips together. She found it onerously difficult to decline him and there was no justification to do so. Besides, he looked wholesome at this moment.

Rihannan smiled and nodded. “That sounds good. It’s been a while since I spent time outdoors. Let’s do it.”

Igor beamed brightly and stuck his chest out haughtily.

“That’s great. We’ll have a private area for ourselves and I’ll make sure to have sweet delicacies. I’m not too sure about how I rank amongst the other players in Kiritte, but I’m pretty confident in my hunting skills. Since your appetite for meat has grown quite a bit these days, I’m sure you’ll be able to eat a whole deer, right?”

Igor joked around and grinned. He looked down, staring at the fist-sized meat left on his wife’s plate.

Rihannan giggled and shook her head. “I’ll try my best to make sure I meet your expectations.”

“Goodness. You don’t need to do your best to meet my expectations. You already have. Matter of fact, you blow me away,” said Igor, voice warm and tender.

Every day, he discovered new sides of her that he loved more and more. His beating heart, only she could cause it to thump capriciously. And her deep blue eyes, god… he could get lost in it. She’s looking at him with those eyes and he adored it.

“…..”

Rihannan looked at him, wondering what he meant. He’d speak such words out of the blue sometimes.

Igor smiled playfully and sucked on Rihannan’s finger that he held onto the whole time.

“How about we go through all the homework we delayed?”

Rihannan’s face swiftly turned a rosy wine and glared at the man who declared lewd words early in the bright morning.

When they had a big fight a month ago and made up thereafter with passionate love, she realized many different ways for a man and woman to…

There were positions she never knew and the thought of it embarrassed her so.

Fortunately, Igor didn’t pressure her so whenever she refused.

He often wished his wife would ride him or that they bathe together, but the thought of it flustered her and she’d shake her head vigorously. He had no choice but to abide by her wishes and calmly put away his suggestion in the back of his mind.

However, each time she refused, he’d smile playfully and say that this would become their homework in a sly manner.

Rihannan turned her head and studied the expressions of the maidservants on standby. They didn’t seem to find anything particularly odd with his words. Thankful, she heaved a sigh of relief.

Though compared to the meaning of his words, the outwardly surface seemed benign.

“I don’t think that’s the kind of words you should be speaking while we’re having a meal. Please keep your dignity in line, Your Majesty,” she said in the calmest voice she could muster while managing to hurl out words of faultfinding.

Igor let out a loud snort.

“Dignity, you say? If you know what’s going on in my head, I’ve no doubt that you’d fai—”

Rihannan glared and kicked his feet under the table, causing him to shut up.

Meanwhile, Basil slammed the door open and walked in the crudest way possible.

“Your Majesty, My Queen, something amazing just arrived and I brought it here for you!”

He brought the basket he’d been holding onto and set it down on the table for the Goddess Queen to see.

The basket made with wooden weaves was filled with multiple green-colored fruits. The fruit was called Nori. It was a seasonal fruit and it would only grow around this time of the year in Arundell’s soil. Even then, the fruit only grew in the warmest areas down south. Its yield was drastically low, so it was quite difficult to find them in numbers.

“It’s been a long time since I saw this!”

Rihannan looked at the basket with genuine excitement. For the past six years, the time she spent in Chrichton, she had never gotten the chance to eat her favorite fruit.

Basil smiled widely and laughed. “I knew you’d like it! I know it’s quite rare to see this in Chrichton too. Shall I peel off its skin for you?”

Without waiting for an answer, Basil crudely pushed Igor away and stood in between them intentionally as he began peeling the fruit’s skin.

Igor wore a dumbfounded look at Basil’s unexpected action.

“You should’ve peeled it before bringing it here. Why’d you have to bring them unpeeled?”

“Well, it’s because a certain queen here loves this particular fruit and a certain king nagged and nagged in my ears to bring one to the palace as soon as possible. That’s why.”

Rihannan looked at Igor hearing Basil’s words.

Igor swiftly turned his face away and hid his blushing face, but it was to no avail. Rihannan had seen it and she giggled lightly.
