Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen

When they returned to the stall, Ariel frowned, but Jamie smiled all over his face.Gavin and the priest stood together on the castle steps, watching the pair. She will give him a stroke.Gavin commented. I heard that she threatened to plunge a knife into the chest of a Mai soldier.Father Mu said. indeed.Gavin replied.She was so brave that the Mai family lord and his people were taken aback for a while. Do you think she's scaring people? Of course, she couldn't possibly know how to use a knife. You are very much like your master, Gavin.I think you all underestimate Mrs. Jamie, if she says she can put a knife in someone's chest to protect someone, I'm sure she can, mark my words.

But Ariel has been complaining that she is too gentle.Gavin retorted. She is also very strong, Father Mu replied.And I don't think she can come in as peacefully as Ariel said, just wait and see the sparks flying! Gavin and Father Mu watched Ariel helping his wife off the horse, and Ariel's hand was always on Jamie's waist. Judging from their gazes at each other, the priest and Gavin decided it was better not to disturb.They slipped away quietly, laughing like something at the same time. Ariel knew that he should go back to do more important things, but he couldn't help but put a kiss on Jamie's forehead.And if Donnie hadn't walked towards them, he didn't know how far this kiss would have gone.Ariel handed over the reins to Donnie, and Jamie saluted him, then turned and walked away.where are you goingAriel just wanted to keep her for a few more minutes.

To change my torn clothes.Jamie replied. Ariel originally wanted to go with her, but Downey said he had something to say to him.What's up?Ariel asked the servant, leading his black horse towards the stall. It's about the lady's horse.Donny said.I really don't want to bother you with such a small thing, but I really don't know how to deal with it.It refuses to eat, and is always trying to break out of the pen, and sooner or later it will break its own leg.I've tried changing the mount to it, but it didn't work. Ariel could hear Wildfire kicking violently against the fence, and he led his black horse over, and Wildfire fell silent immediately.Ariel reached out to caress it.It's quiet now.Ariel smiled.

Because your dark horse is nearby.Downey replied.When it can see it or smell it, it becomes calmer and I'm thinking maybe pairing them together. It will kill it. I don't think so, Downey blurted out.And if it goes on without eating like this, it will definitely get sick. Ariel decided to try Donnie's suggestion.If his horse wants to hurt Wildfire, he can still stop it. As soon as the black horse entered the wildfire's corral, it simply walked to the manger to eat, completely ignoring the presence of the other horse.Wildfire hissed in protest of the invasion of its domain.But the black horse gave a stern snort, which quickly showed Wildfire who was the master.This situation made Ariel want to laugh.Wildfire tried to resist two or three times, but the dark horse just let it go.Finally, the mare no longer raised her front hooves and joined the black horse obediently, and they began to eat on the trough together.

My horse is as possessive as I am.Ariel said. grown ups?Downey asked, not understanding what Ariel was talking about. never mind!He smiled and thought of his Jamie, and then he remembered Father Mu's mention that Jamie wanted a bedroom of her own.Damn woman!Ariel murmured that Jie Mi's horse had more common sense than her, and he decided to talk to Jie Mi immediately to make her understand that the only bed she slept in was his. Jie Mi didn't understand the annoyance she had brought to Ariel at all. She was going back to the hall and found that she made a wrong turn and came to the blacksmith's house.Jamie chatted with the blacksmith for a while, then decided to drop by the other huts.

Jamie climbed up the hill slowly, and stopped on the way to pick a wild flower.She thought she seemed to hear the sound of someone following her, but turned her head and saw no one, so she decided it was just wind and kept walking. Jamie looked at the butcher's hut, then went to the last tanner's house.She was looking inside curiously, when suddenly she seemed to be pushed from behind.She fell into the house, followed by the hut door being slammed shut. There were no windows in the hut, and it was pitch black.She cursed a very unladylike word, and fumbled on the ground for the flower she had just dropped.Thinking it was the wind that closed the door, Jamie didn't care until she started smelling smoke.She ran to the door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge.

Then Jamie panicked.She slammed on the door and called Ariel's name.The hut quickly became a purgatory.In less than a minute, the thatched roof was all on fire. Her scream quickly turned into a faint cough, and a flaming beam fell at her feet.Jie Mi moved her body away from it, and was surprised to find that such a simple movement has become so difficult.She was vaguely aware that the wildflower in her hand had withered, and that the flames were surrounding her from all directions. Jamie collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, the floor felt so cold, Jamie refused to believe that she was going to die.Ariel will arrive in time to rescue her, she thought, he promised to protect her forever.

oh!God please make him quick, I can't leave him alone, he needs me and he hasn't told me he loves me yet.Damn Ariel, why is he so slow?Jie Mi suddenly became angry, and after he rescued her, she must reprimand him for the importance of timing. God!She's probably crazy.The anger just now took away her remaining strength, and Jamie closed her eyes and began to pray. Ariel's painful roar came through the smoke, and Jemi forced a weak smile.Thank you. Jamie whispered to her god. Ariel saw thick smoke from a distance and heard shouts.His breathing stopped.He ran at once to the tanner's house.she's in it!He just knew she was in there.

He and Gavin arrived at the wooden house at the same time, and saw the latch outside the door. Gavin just kicked the wooden bar, and Ariel had already removed the door panel and threw it aside.And when he saw Jamie lying on the floor, his cries of pain and rage nearly shook the cabin. He picked up Jiemi and rushed out of the hut just in time before it collapsed.Ariel knelt down on the ground, hugging Jie Mi tightly.He held his breath, feeling for her weak pulse.Jamie started coughing violently, but Ariel's terrified mind still couldn't understand that it meant Jamie needed fresh air.

It took him a while to get a little under control.Gavin, who was squatting beside him, whispered: "Ariel, you have to give her some air." Jie Mi opened her eyes and met her husband's worried face.She tried to force a smile to him from the confused tears, and then she noticed that his eyes were also misty, probably smoky, Jamie thought. Jie Mi raised her hand to touch his forehead, only to realize that she was still firmly grasping the withered flower in her hand.She let go of the flower and began to stroke his brow.Ariel's hand touched her forehead at the same time. I promised you I wouldn't leave you.Her voice sounded like an old woman's.

I will never let you go either.His voice sounded like a trampled dry leaf. They looked at each other and smiled.How are you, Jamie?You are not injured, are you? The concern in his eyes has been warming her heart.I knew you would come to my rescue. How do you know? Because you care, Ariel Kim. She imitated his Scottish accent, and Ariel smiled and nodded, holding her to his feet, and then she noticed that soldiers had gathered around him.she's fine.He shouted at the worried soldiers. Jamie tried to push Ariel away a little, trying to nod to the soldiers, but Ariel hugged her tightly like a big bear and made her cough again.This man has no idea how strong he is, Jamie thought, but his actions also showed how much he cared for her.His hands were still shaking, and if she heard his cries of pain before she was knocked out, he was at least a little bit in love with her already, whether he wanted to admit it to himself or not. Knowing this, she forgot for a moment the horror she had encountered earlier. Jin Yalie, your rescue is really long overdue. No wonder!He grinned.I run like Satan. Then I'm not so insignificant to you after all, am I? He didn't answer her until he was at the castle gate.right. Jie Mi knew that he was only willing to give her so much, but she was still very happy.One bite at a time, she told Father Mu, and she planned to conquer Jin Yalie in the same way.She smiled, knowing she would win his love. How can you still laugh, Mrs. Kim?Gavin asked, and he opened the door for them.I was still shaking with anger. I'm laughing because I just learned an important thing.Jamie replied.You see it's not one bite at a time, it's one kiss at a time.There is a very big difference between the two, but I won't explain any more to you. She was confused by the smoke just now.Ariel shook his head. Why are you angry, Gavin?Jamie asked.You can't possibly think it's my fault!Without waiting for his answer, Jamie turned to Ariel again.It was the wind, it was so strong, the force with which it closed the door pushed me inside.She didn't notice the incredulous gazes of Ariel and Gavin.The wind was also very strange at that time, it sounded like someone was laughing at me.Ariel, why do you look suspicious?you do not believe me? I believe you.Ariel said. We both know it's not your fault, ma'am.Gavin inserted.Gavin didn't finish talking because he had already seen Ariel's face. What happened to the door Gavin? Oh it's stuck.Gavin blurted out. I think so too.Jamie agrees. Gavin, order the servant to bring Jemi bath water, then you go back to the hut and ask the servant, someone should have an important answer. Ariel picked up Jiemi and put him on the bed behind the screen.After taking a shower, stay in bed and rest well throughout the day. But I feel good.Jamie argued. Ariel couldn't help but shook his head.Ma'am, you should be crying now for escaping death, not smiling at me so sweetly. The servant brought in hot water.Jie Mi greeted each of them energetically. She not only remembered everyone's name, but also knew everyone's family situation.Ariel was deeply impressed, and even the cook Hess, who always put on a bitter face, expressed her deep feelings for the hostess.Then she asked timidly: Madame, do you think you have the means to get up and direct the work of the kitchen? Jamie looked at her husband.He saw the hole, Hathe, she whispered.progress will not be delayed It's up to me to take over.Ariel said. You agreed?She seemed very happy, which made Ariel suspect that her goal was more than that. But Ariel liked the way she smiled.Gus would direct the soldiers to patch up the hole.He paused, looked at Jie Mi's disappointed expression, and said: until the corridor connecting the kitchen and the hall is built. aisle?I don't know.Jamie said. The kitchen cannot be directly connected to the hall.Ariel explained.The smoke from the cooking will fill the hall, but we can build a walkway connecting the two buildings, are you satisfied? She looks very satisfied.You see, Hathe, she said to the maid.I'll tell you, Ariel will understand that such a change is right.All clan members are equally important to him. Ariel smiled inwardly.This little witch, she thought she could control me now, but he didn't want to fight her at this time.Take your shower now!Ma'am, the water is cold.he said. The maid left and Ariel left.He paced the hall, trying to make sense of what had happened earlier.Someone wants to kill his beloved Jamie.God, if he doesn't make it in time, if he stays longer at the barn Ariel?Gavin walked into the hall.The servants said they saw nothing. Ariel stopped pacing.Keep your voice down, Gavin, I don't want Jamie to hear our conversation. She has heard it.Jie Mi shouted from behind the screen. Ariel showed his displeasure to Gavin, he waved his hand to signal Gavin to get closer, and shouted: Jamie, don't listen. I can't help but hear it.Jamie called back.Ariel, have you noticed how little privacy there is in this place?That's why I asked the priest if he could move our things upstairs to the bedroom, did he mention it to you? You should have asked me. You have been busy. Really!Ariel smiled.She doesn't look like she just narrowly escaped from the fire pit, does she?Gavin. She is stronger than we imagined, maybe Father Mu is right.Gavin whispered. Of course the priest is right, Gavin.Jamie shouted.He was a priest, remember? Jamie! Ariel, you answered my question, I will cover my ears, I am sure you can easily see that my proposal is wise, if we move upstairs us? What?Oh yes, of course we are.she shouted. Ariel grinned.She didn't intend to move upstairs alone, in fact, he really didn't know how he would even think of going that way.Of course, it was all due to her failure to explain clearly. We'll be moving upstairs tomorrow.he shouted. Thank you, Ariel? A wife need not thank her husband, now take your bath and leave me alone. He tried to sound as stern as he could, but judging by her laughter, he wasn't stern enough.He shrugged, turned to Gavin, and said in a low voice: Now, tell me all the news you got. Only the blacksmith talked to Jemi, but he didn't see anything.Gavin replied.Everyone else had left for lunch by then without a clue. Damn it!Ariel cursed. Why didn't you tell Jamie?She has a right to know and to take precautions. I don't want her to worry, no, we will take precautions for her, and I will find the person who wants to harm her. In the meantime, I want you and Marco to protect her well and not allow her to leave the sight of any of you step. Gavin nodded.I also don't want her to be frightened.Gavin whispered.She has become so important to each of us, I can't believe that anyone would do this to her. And that person is one of us.Ariel said bitterly.wait until i find him Jamie's singing interrupted them, she was humming a vulgar English ballad, Gavin and Ariel frowned and smiled when they heard it.She acted like nothing happened!Ariel shook his head in disbelief. I understand why she wants to move to an upstairs bedroom.Gavin said.Indeed, my lord, you can hear every little sound. Ariel nodded.Don't let anyone into the hall.He said, turning and walking towards the screen. Where are you going, Ariel? bed. bed?Gavin repeated, with an unbelievable expression on his face.It's not even noon yet. Ariel turned and cast an annoyed glance at his deputy. To make sure no one bothers me.Ariel said angrily. Gavin finally understood, he grinned and walked to the door.He intended to stand guard for them at the gate himself. Have a good rest, Ariel.he shouted, the smile in his words extremely obvious. Just after taking a bath, Jamie stood up from the bathtub, and Ariel swayed behind the screen. Seeing him, Jamie gasped in shock, and quickly sat back in the water. She tried to lean forward, covering her nipples with her knees. I have no clothes on.She was telling him an extremely obvious fact. Ariel's footsteps never stopped, and Jamie suddenly found himself pulled to his chest, he turned her around in his arms, and before she had a chance to ask what the hell he was doing, Ariel had already pushed her down on the bed, her wrists were fixed above her head, and Ariel's body covered her. He didn't kiss her, and seemed very pleased to see her first with that rascal smile. Her breasts were warm against his body, her legs were pressed against his, and she seemed unable to resist rubbing her toes against his bare legs. He had taken off his boots, and Jamie didn't realize until now that he wanted to make love to her.Are you thinking what I think you are thinking, Ariel? You are wearing my cloak now, he retorted.That's what I'm thinking about. I'm not wearing anything!she whispered. Ah, you have it, your back on the Kings blanket cape and my cape on top of you.Yes, you are indeed wearing my cloak. She couldn't fault his way of reasoning.Is this the way you want me to rest?she asked provocatively. He nodded, and her disappointment couldn't be more obvious.You will get your rest.He said. I am not tired at all. you will.He parted her legs, moved to her legs and asked.You will be very tired after I finish you, I promise. She thought he was a little too arrogant.She withdrew her hand from his grasp and wrapped it around his neck instead. When I finish you, you will be as tired as I am, my lord, I assure you. He wanted to laugh, but Jamie's enthusiasm had already affected him.Her eyes turned the deepest purple, and Ariel let out a lustful moan as her long legs brushed against his and her body leaned closer to him. He nibbled her lower lip, frustrating her intentionally, then he slowly took her full lower lip into his mouth, and she sighed, making it clear how much she liked what he did to her , his hands cupped her cheeks upwards, so that his lips and tongue could wreak havoc on her more calmly.He was going to make love to her very, very slowly, no matter how much she teased him. Her lips were so soft and submissive, and she started making those sexy whimpers as his tongue sank deep into her warm lips.He fondles, ravages, gives, takes, until Jamie pulls his hair for more. The small sound she made made him forget the original kindness, and Ariel's intrusive tongue made her bolder. He pressed a wet kiss on her neck, and she caressed his shoulders, back, buttocks, making her feel more daring. His huge body trembled. They took off his clothes together, and then Jamie pushed him down on the bed, covering him, her body writhing against his, and Ariel trapped her firmly with his legs.Jie Mi stood up on her elbows, and when she saw the burning desire in his eyes, she couldn't help trembling. I want to touch you like you touch me.she whispered.Please, Ariel.Your body belongs to me as much as mine belongs to you, doesn't it? He wholeheartedly agrees, but he can't seem to find the voice to tell her that his body does belong to her.Yet she must have thought she had his permission, for there was a mischievous gleam in her eyes. As she leaned down and kissed his chest, he began to understand her intentions.Ariel gasped as she wrapped her tongue around his right nipple.Her tongue is hot and magical, and her lips!God, her lips almost made him forget to breathe.She went down and down until she reached what she was looking for.When he tried to stop her, she bit him on the inside of the thigh, and he dropped his hands in total surrender. She was shy at first, but that only made her more attractive and him more aroused.And when she finally took hold, Ariel closed his eyes and let her fire burn him.It was pure pain, but it was also heaven. He didn't turn over and control her until he knew he was about to lose control. He knew he couldn't be called gentle, but he needed to fill her completely, he needed to satisfy himself Satisfy her first. She doesn't seem to care, in fact, she's just as wild as he is, her nails digging into his back, she arches so hard at him that they roll over together before he's all the way inside her .They lay on their sides facing each other, and looked at the enthusiasm in each other's eyes, their breath was shallow, their skin was sweaty, and the wonderful smell of making love filled them. I like the taste of you, she whispered.you like Oh god, yes, I love it when he makes a low moan and her legs wrap around his ass. Don't move, don't, don't. She wanted to tell him that she didn't want to move either, but it felt so unbelievably good that she couldn't seem to stop, and his hand moved between their intertwined bodies, touching where she longed to be touched . Then they start moving together, and their union is wild, raw, and rocks everything. And full of love. Ariel couldn't wait any longer, he felt her wrap around him, felt her first convulsions, and immediately his seed shot into her. After a long time, he was able to move, and then he lay on his back on the bed again, letting Jamie cover him. He hoped his overzealousness hadn't killed her, and smiled along with him at the thought of being so arrogant, when, frankly, he almost got killed by his passionate wife. He wanted to tell her how much she pleased him, and he wanted to hear her compliments and compliments.But no, Ariel suddenly decided that he wanted more than just nice words, he wanted more. It was time for this little woman to understand her duty. He didn't need to explain it to her. She should naturally understand that her duty was to love him. Then understanding hit him instantly like lightning.He wants her to love him because he's already in love with her. God!How did all this happen?She was the most opinionated, bad-tempered, irrational, and stubborn woman he had ever met.Which man dares to want this kind of girl?Then Ariel laughed.He knew he was lying.Oh, every man would want her, but she was his. Ariel sighed resignedly, closed his eyes, and hugged Jie Mi tightly.He heard her shallow breathing gradually subside, and heard the melody of her heartbeat echoing his.Ah, her passion was his alone, Aleigh thought proudly. And his heart belongs to her too.Ariel yawned heavily, and it seemed that he could no longer cure the disease. His tender little wife needs rest.Ariel yawned another time, deciding that he would stay with her a little longer until he was sure she was asleep. And that was the last thought on his mind before he started snoring. Now he knew that someone was trying to kill his wife, yes, the news should have spread throughout the castle by now, and she would be well protected.He dared not risk her safety. But what he doesn't understand is that today I don't want her to die at all.I'm so much smarter than he is, oh, I wish I could brag to them about my smarts, but of course I can't, I just have to convince them he got there just in time to save her.But I knew they would be there, and the flames couldn't go unseen. Now I want to see his torment, not just his pain.I'll wait until tomorrow or later to kill her. I can still hear him calling out to her outside the fire house.I think he's already starting to fall in love with her.That's better, so he'll actually learn his lesson. I want to touch her before she dies.
