Said No to the Prince and Yes to the King novel Chapter 256

Chapter 256 A New Level of Intimacy

Just as Margaret reached the door of the royal chambers, Theodore’s voice rang out from behind.

“Get the acupuncture done before you leave,” he said.

Margaret halted, a bit taken aback. “Okay, all right…”

Anished

He was the one who said I was too tired and didn’t need the acupuncture. Now that I’m about to go, he wants it again. What’s gotten into him today?

But then, thinking about last night, Margaret seemed to figure it out.

What happened last night has definitely taken our relationship to the next level. It makes sense that his attitude has changed. After all, I already agreed to give it a try with him. This isn’t so hard to accept.

Soon, Theodore was soaking in the medicinal bath as usual.

Margaret sat quietly behind him, carefully inserting the needles.

The warm sunlight streamed in through the window, gradually clearing Margaret’s mind.

Even the memories of last night became clearer…

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Seeing Theodore act as if nothing had happened, she tried her best to appear nonchalant. After the acupuncture, she whispered, “Your Highness, your condition is much better. The poison in your body is almost gone. But… well, where did you go yesterday? Why are there so many wounds on your body?”

His physique was so well-built, but his skin was covered with bloodstains.

overed

The wounds weren’t deep, as if they were from whip lashes or scratches by branches.

But Theodore, Prince Theodore, was someone no one in Breston would dare to hurt, right?

“Just minor injuries. Nothing to worry about,” Theodore replied.

After the acupuncture, he got up and put on his bathrobe.

Margaret quickly turned her back.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back now. Based on your current condition, one more acupuncture session and you’ll be fully recovered.”

“Have you forgotten?” Theodore said.

Margaret was a bit confused for a moment. “Your Highness, do you mean… what happened last night?” Thinking of the intimacy from last night, she quickly added, “I know what happened between us. Don’t worry, I won’t blame you. I know you were trying to save me. In fact, I’m really grateful to you.

“No.” Theodore tightened his belt, took two steps forward, and grabbed Margaret’s wrist. “I’m talking about

how you address me.

Margaret blushed deeply and was too shy to look back at him. “Your Highness…”

“Call me Ted.”

“No, Your Highness, I…”

Before she could finish. Theodore bent down and kissed her on the lips.

She was still sitting on the chair beside the bathtub, and Theodore, standing beside her, simply leaned over to kiss her.

She instinctively tried to pull back, but Theodore grabbed the back of her neck and deepened the kiss.

“Don’t…” she murmured.

“Call me Ted,” he demanded.

Margaret pushed him away. “Your Highness, what are you doing? Last night was…”

Before she could finish, another kiss landed on her lips.

Seemingly dissatisfied with her answer, Theodore bit her lip slightly as a form of punishment.

She let out a soft cry of pain. “Don’t…,” she pleaded.

“You know what I’m doing.” Theodore finally let go of her, but his face was still very close.

Margaret could feel his warm breath.

She wanted to move back but had nowhere to go, as if she was pinned to the chair, sitting there like a

statue.

“Your… Ted,” she stammered.

Theodore finally released his hand and straightened up. “Remember to call me that from now on, got it?”

r Margaret blinked her eyes blankly. “But you’re… and we…”

“We’ve given it a try, and it’s a perfect fit. Once I find a good day, I’ll come to propose to you,” Theodore said calmly, as if he was talking about what to have for dinner.

Margaret’s face turned bright red. “What do you mean by ‘given it a try? It’s just the beginning. Besides, do you really know what kind of person I am? Do I know all your secrets? We don’t know each other well enough. It’s too hasty to get married.”

Theodore bent down again.

Seeing this, Margaret quickly leaned back against the chair. “Your… Ted, what I mean is, we need to think this through. I just agreed to give it a try with you a couple of days ago.

Now…

Theodore said seriously, “A couple of days ago was a couple of days ago. Now is now.

“Back then, we were innocent, and we could try to see if we were suitable. But now, you’re already mine. There’s no need for further trials. Whether we’re a good match or not, you have to marry me.

After saying that, he stroked Margaret’s head. “I want to take responsibility for you.”

She thought to herself.

Taking responsibility? I’m a modern girl. Although I’ve never been in a relationship, I’m not that old-fashioned. Just sleeping together once doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice my whole life, right?
