Chapter 195: The Queen Who Hates To Be Touched

Primrose finally decided to sit up. Edmund immediately reached out to help her, concerned the ride might shake her too much.

But to his surprise, Primrose gently pushed his hand away and steadied herself by grabbing the seat instead. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

That small gesture confused him because it wasn’t like her to push his hand away.

He wanted to ask why, but Primrose spoke first. "Can you send a message to Lady Solene? Ask one of your soldiers to tell her to come to the palace once she’s done with her business here."

Edmund glanced down at his own hand in silence, still wondering why his wife didn’t want him to touch her.

In a soft voice, he finally replied, "Sir Vesper already promised to bring Lady Solene to the palace once she’s finished."

Primrose raised one eyebrow. "Oh? When did he say that?"

Just remembering how Salem left her yesterday made her blood boil again. She really wanted to grab him by the collar and shake the smugness off his face.

"Last night," Edmund answered, pausing a bit before continuing. "He came to me to tell me where you were."

Primrose blinked in surprise. "He came to you?"

Edmund only nodded, but that small gesture was enough to calm the fire in her heart.

So Salem hadn’t just left her behind. He had gone to find Edmund first ... and told him where she was.

If Salem hadn’t gone to find Edmund, it might’ve taken him much longer to reach her.

Primrose knew she owed that honey badger an apology for thinking such terrible things about him when all he did was try to help.

Once she heard that Solene would be coming to the palace later, she lay back down and pulled the blanket up to cover herself.

Turning to face Edmund, she softly said, "Since Sir Vesper won’t be at the palace for a while, would you ... be my poison tester?" But right after she said it, she immediately shook her head. "No, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t be asking a king to taste my food for poison."

"I’ll do it," Edmund replied without a hint of hesitation. "I may be king, but I’m also your husband. Don’t forget that."

[Why is she suddenly acting like this?] he wondered silently. [She used to ask me for anything without a second thought.]

[Whatever happened yesterday must’ve really shaken her. She even pushed my hands away ... like she couldn’t bear to be touched.]

Was she really acting that differently?

She didn’t mean to push him away. It wasn’t about him, it was just that right now, the idea of touching someone made her feel sick.

Even though she trusted Edmund with all her heart, she still found herself pulling back.

The worst part was that she didn’t fully understand why, but somehow, her mind kept linking touch with something sexual.

No, of course Edmund would stop the moment she said no. He would never force her.

But still ... something in her just couldn’t handle being touched right now. She just wanted to stay wrapped up in a warm blanket, protected from the world, for a little while longer.

But then again ... if she really hated being touched, why didn’t she stop Edmund when he held her yesterday?

Maybe ... she was simply too tired to stop him at the time.

But still, it didn’t make sense. Why didn’t she want to be near him now? He was her husband. Shouldn’t his touch bring comfort?
