Chapter 329 She Might Explode Soon
Inside the most famous inn in the Capital City of Cordon.
It was a good thing that Freya left a note to her mother as Jayra suggested, saying that she was currently in a disguise with her friend while going out to watch the tournant by the arena. She assured her mother that there was no need to worry and that she would soon co back to the castle with Gideon.
Together, they continued walking around the city for so ti before Gideon stopped by the most famous inn in the Capital City. It was known for its delicious als, with a dining area that had a spectacular view of the nightly castle lights from afar.
Freya hid her excitent as they entered the place. The inn owner, knowing Gideon, imdiately offered him the best and most private spot for the evening. Taking her place, Freya casually sat down, with Gideon sitting opposite her.
Sitting at the sa table, she suddenly felt awkward as Gideon intently stared at her.
“What’s wrong, Commander?” she casually asked with an awkward smile. “Do I have sothing on my face?”
“You look like a male version of my mate,” he bluntly comnted.
“Is that so?”
He nodded and then continued, “But you sll different.”
“What do you an?” Freya curiously asked, wondering if Jayra had put a particular sll on her to sohow mask her natural scent even further.
“You sll like mud, while my mate slls like freesia,” Gideon dreamily described. “Her scent is so addicting and intoxicating that I wish I could just bury my nose in her forever.”
Freya gulped at how intensely he looked at her, his eyes shimring as he talked about her.
She hastily brushed away her face, knowing how deep red she was at the mont. Frowning, she snorted, “Your stare’s making uncomfortable, Commander. I’m not your mate, for heaven’s sake, and it’s uncomfortable for to talk to as such.”
“There are so many similarities between you two though,” Gideon pointed out.
Freya was only grateful that a servant had finally co to take their order, saving her at just the right mont from showing just how red her face had beco.
[I bet he already knows and that he’s just playing along, enjoying tricking you in the way that you’re tricking him,] Yal comnted with a yawn.
Freya didn’t acknowledge her wolf, and instead, looked closely at Gideon who was now busy talking with the servant. When he was done presumably placing their orders, he returned to looking back at her.
“Is she beautiful? Your mate?” Freya asked.
“Of course, she is. She’s the most beautiful woman in my eyes…” Gideon answered without batting an eye.
“You said I look like her… I’m the male version, you say?” Freya casually mumbled. “If so, then I guess I’m handso in your eyes.”
Gideon let out a hearty laugh as he suddenly replied, “Oh, let’s just stop this, Freya. I’m so bad at acting… I feel like I can die anyti soon if I kept up with your trick.”
[I told you he knew,] Yal chortled. “I wonder since when though…]
“Since when did you know?” Freya whined. “I hid my scent and everything too.”
“I instantly knew it was you the mont you shouted, sweety,” Gideon scoffed. “Plus, it’s obvious that the one beside you is Jayra. You see, ever since Bartos and I failed to recognize His Majesty and Princess Xenia in their disguises, I vowed then and there that I won’t let it happen again.”
“Right, and it’s not even the first ti you saw Sister-in-law in her disguise, and yet you still failed to recognize her that night,” Freya teased with a grin.
“Well, in my defense, Princess Xenia’s disguise that day was quite different from the one she used in her disguise as Xen before,” he defended. “Also, I’ve heard that she’s really quite good at disguising herself. Still, as one of the high-ranking royal knights of our King, I should make sure that this won’t happen again.”
“I guess you’ve indeed improved then, recognizing with just one glance,” Freya praised with a thumbs up. “I’m appalled…”
Gideon chuckled. “It was way too easy for to recognize you above all else. Even without your scent, you’re the love of my life, so I naturally know every little detail about you,” he confidently stated with a triumphant grin. “Your mannerism, and even the slightest expressions you always make on your face are all the sa. Not to ntion your style of writing and the fact that you’re left-handed.”
Again, Freya’s face turned crimson red in embarrassnt. Before she could react, Gideon had suddenly moved to sit beside her, making her hold her breath at his sudden closeness.
He then raised his hand, his fingers trailing one of her eyebrows as he said, “These perfectly shaped brown eyebrows that looked cute whenever they moved… Those dark grey eyes that are so enticing that they can make lt with every gaze…”
Freya gulped. She felt like a statue as Gideon trailed every part of her face. His fingers moved softly, trailing the bridge of her nose as he whispered, “The perfectly pointed nose that I would love to have a sniff of my skin… And these…”
‘This is pure torture! Does he know that what he’s doing right now is making every part of my body tremble?!’ Freya inwardly complained as she felt her stomach churning while Gideon seductively touched her lips, trailing its very shape as he spoke.
“Oh, heavens… This is what I love the most…” GIdeon gasped. “Your plump red lips that are so addicting to kiss…”
Finally, he leaned closer, and Freya closed her eyes as she anticipated his lips sealing hers. To her disappointnt, however, nothing ca. She frowned as she opened her eyes. Without her even knowing, Gideon was already back in his seat opposite to hers a wide smile on his face as he spoke.
“As much as I want to kiss you right now… It would be safer not to, sweety…” he chuckled. “I might end up taking you here without a care in the world. I would be labeled as a cheating man who cheated on the Princess with a lad.”
Freya felt like a bucket of ice had been thrown right at her. She almost forgot how they were still in a public setting, and the fact that she was still disguised as a lad.
“You’re so adorable,” Gideon comnted with a teasing grin.
Freya touched her cheeks, knowing that her face was currently burning hot at the mont. She honestly wondered how long her self-control would last against him. She felt like she was about to give in at any mont to Gideon, and she was practically burning to be intimate with him…
At this rate, she might explode soon.
