Ziel and Queen Helena returned to the cottage at midnight. Ziel teleported some distance from his residence because he didn't want Kalya or any girls to see him coming with Queen Helena. The girls would have misunderstood when they saw Ziel appear together with Queen Helena at such a time.
"The night view in this place is wonderful." Queen Helena muttered. She was still in Ziel's arms and didn't want to let go even though they had arrived at their destination.
"Can you let me go?" Ziel asked helplessly when he saw Queen Helena clinging to him and hugging him even tighter.
"Can you leave me like this for a while?" Queen Helena said in a pleading tone. Ziel couldn't immediately reject it when he heard that voice.
"Alright. But we better move to another place. Kalya and the others might have seen us when they came out of the cottage. Though I'm not sure, they'll be out at this hour." Ziel sighed and agreed to Queen Helena's request.
"I will obey you. I will follow you wherever you go." Queen Helena said without taking her arms off Ziel. she was afraid that Ziel would leave her after she let him go. Queen Helena's behavior gave Ziel a headache.
If Ziel used his usual way, he would have to knock her unconscious and let Kalya take care of her. But somehow, he couldn't do it. Ziel sighed then the two of them disappeared from the place and moved to the lakeside opposite the cottage.
"I can't keep you company too long because we have to return at dawn." Ziel took a seat from his space storage and placed it by the lake. He wouldn't let Queen Helena sit on the ground and soil her dress.
"That's enough, and I dare not ask for more from you." Queen Helena took off her robe and kept it in her space storage.
Ziel raised his eyebrows when he saw Queen Helena take off her robe. The woman wore clothes with a broad chest opening and showed her cleavage that looked like a beautiful valley. Moreover, she was wearing a skirt above the knee length, exposing her slender legs.
"Sit down." Ziel invited Queen Helena to sit down. Unlike the one in front of the cottage, the chair is slightly longer and quite spacious even though it has to be occupied by two people.
"Thank you!" Queen Helena smiled sweetly and finally let go of Ziel's arms. Then she sat on the chair and patted the spot next to her, asking Ziel to accompany her immediately.
Queen Helena lifted her skirt to reveal her smooth thighs when she sat down. But she didn't try to cover it up and instead made it more visible by pulling at it secretly.
"I understand." Ziel nodded and sat down next to her. After that, Queen Helena shifted her round buttocks and made her body stick to Ziel even more.
"Don't you feel cold wearing clothes like that at this hour? Shouldn't you put on your black robe again?" Ziel looked at Queen Helena's face and asked. He didn't dare to look down because it was a fatal temptation for all men, including Ziel, who had gotten most of his emotions back.
"I don't feel cold at all. Aren't you here to warm me up, Ziel?" Queen Helena rested her head on Ziel's shoulder and whispered in a seductive voice. Her words sound ambiguous and can lead to misunderstandings.
"Yes. I will warm you." Zel nodded. He took out a blanket from his space storage and covered Queen Helena's body.
"Eh? This is not what I meant!" Queen Helena puffed out her cheeks and complained. She still looks cute, even though she is no longer young.
"If you stay like that, you might get sick." Ziel replied and ignored her complaint.
"So, what did you get from that village in your investigation today? Do you know what particle rain actually is?" Although Queen Helena wanted to talk about romantic stories with Ziel, she was curious about the matter.
"I don't know much about it. The rain of particles affects living things other than humans. Animals or insects that come into direct contact with it will evolve. But I think the effect is only temporary." Ziel explained. He didn't mind telling Queen Helena about it because she had been with him all night.
"Hmm? Why do you think like that?" Queen Helena asked. She was focused on listening to Ziel's explanation, but her hand quietly moved and grabbed the hand of the man beside her. Ziel didn't get angry and let her do it as long as her actions didn't cross the line.
"If the effect were permanent, then this continent would have been infested with those monsters. I still don't know how often the rain of particles appears. But I'm sure it has happened since in their old settlement or maybe much longer than that." Ziel said his guess.
"You are right. Maybe the monsters I fought in the past were also evolved animals because their existence suddenly disappeared and couldn't be found anywhere. Those monsters must have returned to their animal forms." Queen Helena nodded in agreement with Ziel's words.
"The rain of particles may also cause the mana disorder that outsiders suffer from when they come to the village. I feel the particles that fall and seep into the ground will still emit side effects for some time, but it can't evolve the insects or animals around it." Ziel was still confused about the origin of the light particle and why it had only fallen over the village.
"So you mean it would be very dangerous if an outsider touched those light particles directly?" Queen Helena asked seriously, subconsciously intertwining her fingers on Ziel's hand.
"Yes. You may be suffering from a disease worse than a mana disorder. So my current conclusion is that the light particles do not affect gray-haired people, can evolve living beings other than humans, and are extremely dangerous to outsiders." Ziel closed his explanation. That was the only information he could get today, and it was all conjecture. He intended to investigate the village again and confirm his words but not anytime soon.
Ziel had to share the information with the girls and ask for their opinion. He might get other information about the village from their point of view.
"Fortunately, you protected me back then. Thank you for caring about me." Queen Helena said softly. She raised her head and looked at Ziel with moist eyes. Queen Helena slowly brought her face closer to him.
"You already have a husband and children, Helena. Are you sure you want to do that?" Ziel asked. Although Queen Helena is attractive, he can't just accept her feelings. It might be bad for his relationship with Princess Freya and end up hurting both women's feelings.
Queen Helena trembled when she heard Ziel's words. She stopped her lips from touching Ziel's, and tears flowed from her eyes.
"I… Why can't I do that? Is it wrong if I do something based on my feelings? From the start, our marriage was just a political deal. I'm still with him because he treats me well, and we already have a son and daughter. I didn't hate him, but I never really loved him as a man!" Queen Helena looked at Ziel with a teary face. But Ziel kept quiet and let her express all the complaints in her heart.
"When I first saw you, my heart was beating fast. I think it happened because of the brief emotion after seeing your attractive face and also hearing that you can cure my illness."
"After I felt your mana enter my body, my feelings were stirred up, and my long-lost desire was revived. I feel that my lust has controlled me. But I know it's not that simple! I've been thinking about you ever since! Not because of my lust but because of another feeling I had never experienced. After that, I realized I had fallen in love with you!" Queen Helena burst into tears and buried her face in Ziel's chest.
"I'm sorry if my words hurt you. I don't know anything about your life, and I shouldn't have said that." Ziel said apologetically and stroked Queen Helena's hair gently. He secretly sighed in his heart because he felt guilty for asking that and hurting Queen Helena's heart.
"Sob... sob... No! You're not wrong! I'm at fault here because I was carried away by my feelings. This is my first time experiencing something like this. I was nice to Leonida because he was my husband and the father of my children but nothing more. I never loved him as a man! I just got this feeling after meeting you, and I can confidently say I love you, Ziel!" Queen Helena hugged Ziel tightly, and more tears flowed from her eyes.
"Please do not cry. You're not wrong for being carried away by your feelings. I can understand that." Ziel couldn't bear to see Queen Helena crying like that. He didn't know how to calm her down because he wasn't used to dealing with crying women.
In the past, Kalya had been sad and cried in front of him. Ziel felt overwhelmed when faced with such a situation. Though the seal from Azael was still not completely broken, his emotions still hadn't returned then. But Ziel couldn't bear to see the people he cared about sad. Moreover, now that his emotions had returned and Queen Helena's cries left him confused about what he should do.
Ziel could only gently stroke her hair and make Queen Helena feel more comfortable. He hoped it would calm her down. Not long after, Queen Helena finally stopped crying. But she buried her face in Ziel's chest and didn't lose strength in her embrace.
"Have you calmed down?" Ziel whispered.
"Yes. I'm sorry for crying and bothering you." Queen Helena answered in a hoarse voice from crying too long.
"You didn't bother me. When you feel calmer, would you like to go back and rest?" Ziel wanted to return to the cottage immediately since they had been there for quite some time.
"No. I wouldn't! I want to stay like this a little longer." Queen Helena shook her head and hugged Ziel even tighter. If Ziel were an ordinary person, he would have died from having many of his bones broken.
"Alright. If you're getting tired, you should tell me right away." Ziel sighed. He would allow Queen Helena to do as she pleased just for now in exchange for the mistakes he had made earlier.
"Ziel… may I ask you something?" Queen Helena said in a low voice.
"Of course." Ziel replied curtly.
"Do you like me as a woman?" Queen Helena squeezed her voice and ventured to ask the question. She was afraid of the answer Ziel would give.
"If I have to be honest, I like you. You're very attractive, and I can't deny it. But I can't accept your love, and you must know why." Ziel replied calmly. He had expected that Queen Helena would ask that question sooner or later. But he didn't think that she would say it now.
"Are you honest about it? You didn't say that because you wanted to cheer me up, did you?" Queen Helena raised her head and looked at Ziel.
"Yes. I'm serious. Do you think I'm the type of guy who will play with his words to please other people?" Ziel looked directly into Queen Helena's eyes.
"If so, your answer is enough for me. You don't have to accept me. As long as I can be by your side, it makes me happy." Queen Helena reached out her hand and stroked Ziel's cheek.
"Are you sure?" Ziel did not expect Queen Helena to give such an answer.
"I'm sure! So, can I continue what I wanted to do before?" Queen Helena looked at Ziel expectantly. Ziel was silent for a long time, making Queen Helena nervous. Not long after, he finally opened his mouth.
"I hope you won't regret your decision. Once you are mine, no other man can touch you." Ziel said seriously.
"I won't regret it and won't let another man touch me!" Queen Helena wrapped her arms around Ziel's neck and pressed her lips to him. Ziel was not idle when he saw that. He returned the kiss, and his hands began to explore all parts of Queen Helena's body, especially her thighs and cleavage.
"Ahhnn… Please make me completely yours!" Queen Helena moaned seductively. She looked at Ziel with lustful eyes and panted heavily.
Ziel created a barrier in that place and laid Queen Helena on the chair. Then he stripped off her clothes until not a single thread remained. After that, Ziel could see the sexy and seductive body shape of the woman in front of him. It made his male instincts burn. Ziel kissed Queen Helena again and united himself with her.
