Chapter 229: Study The Human Body

While walking towards the study, Seren came across the huge double wooden door that had a dragon carved on the door which occupied the entire door from top to bottom and had gold color highlights at various places sat that carving.

Though she already passed that door, its image was in her mind as that door looked bigger than any others and different too. 'Is that some kind of special chamber?' She thought and continued to walk ahead.

Soon after they reached in front of the door where captain Rulf was present along with another knight. He opened the door for them and Slayer led Seren's way inside King's study room.

Entering the study, Seren's eyes were left wide open as she didn't expect the study room to be this big. It was bigger than her own study which she already found vast enough. It was a spacious partitioned room having interiors made of sturdy redwood. It had a dome-shaped ceiling and a circular chandelier hung in the center.

Seren saw Drayce sitting in the chair behind his work table where he was talking to one tall man who faced his back to them but from his uniform, she could guess he was a knight. Beside him was standing Jasper.

"Your Majesty, please have a seat," Slayer instructed as he gestured to her to sit on the cushioned wooden couch in the study as he knew his king was busy to do so.

Seren nodded but she was busy looking around while Slayer went to his king, where the important discussion was going on.

Though Drayce saw Seren, he didn't go to her as he didn't wish to disturb her from observing his study with curiosity. Her bright purple eyes were taking a note of everything.

Seren's eyes moved towards the backside wall that moved high up to touch that dome-shaped ceiling having bookshelves attached to it till the top and filled with numerous books. 'Does he even read all these books? I can never read all these even if I spend my entire life reading them,' She thought and noticed the wooden poles in the bookshelves had a cloth flag hung to it with a sun-like Megaris royal crest drawn on it.

When she was busy observing it, Drayce's eyes were busy observing her as he heard what his knight was talking to him.

"Your Majesty, the rebels in the northern territory has been captured and punished accordingly. We had strong proof that they were linked to Thevailes so there was no way they could deny it," the knight informed.

Drayce nodded, "You did well, Azer. Good that you are back now. I believe you have done justice with Thevailes' Marquis Godfrey Percy and did not disappoint the old man."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Those scavengers had a nice treat," Azer replied as if it was nothing.

After dealing with Marquis Percy to send him to the gate of hell, Captain Azer returned to Megaris but in his King's absence, he had to take care of other things going on in the kingdom as he handled everything along with Jasper.

"Good," Drayce said and stood up as he went to his Queen.

Azer turned to look at his slayer and greeted by bowing, "Commander!"

Seeing their King going to their Queen, Jasper spoke, "Let's go out as our presence is nonexistent for our king."

The other two smiled as it was the truth. Before leaving they had to greet their Queen and they all turned to look at her, "Your Majesty!"

Seren just looked at them while she heard Drayce, "My Queen, he is captain Azer Brayden. One of my knights."

Azer bowed to her again, "Captain Azer Brayden Greets Your Majesty."

Seren looked at the knight who looked of similar age to others present in the room, including Drayce, and accepted the greeting with a light nod.

Drayce looked at the three and they understood that they had to leave now and turned to leave.

Reaching closer to the exit, they heard their king, "My Queen, did you have a good meal?"

Jasper rolled his eyes as he stepped out of the study, and mumbled in a low voice, "I don't remember he was ever this sweet with us."

Thud!

The door of the study was closed with a loud sound on its own behind Jasper's back and he said again with a light frown, "Always shows off his powers."

Inside the study, Seren looked at the suddenly closed door which made a loud sound before closing. It startled her and she heard Drayce, "It was the wind, My Queen."

Seren nodded quietly but she was not that silly to know that there was no wind and he must have used his powers.

"My Queen, I have arranged one more study table for you so you can read books while being comfortable," Drayce informed and looked at one wooden table with a chair behind was arranged at the right side wall from his own study table and from where he could see it clearly while doing his own work.

But the young Queen had another thought in mind and said, "I can also read them in my study, Your Majesty. My Presence here might disturb your work."

His queen was sure smart and he sighed inside, 'I should have locked that study to not let anyone enter it. Why does she even need a separate study room when she can just use mine and be in front of me all the time?'

"I will take those books with me..."

"My Queen," Drayce interrupted her and offered her consoling smile, "While you read those books, you might need my help to understand them better."

She looked at him as she blinked a few times. She had read all the books on her own till now and she was smart enough to understand them on her own. Before she could say a word more, Drayce spoke, "If you are tired by sitting in the chair, you can also use this couch to sit comfortably."

This man had already made a plan and there was no way she would insist on going against the king. She just nodded as she was forced to show her gratitude, "Thank You, Your Majesty."

"I will show you the books," Drayce said and led her way towards the table. "Have a seat."

Though unwillingly, Seren sat in the cushioned chair behind the table.

Drayce picked up one book from the pile of books from her table and put it in front of her, "My Queen, this is the first book you have to read carefully. If there is anything that you don't understand, you can ask me."

Seren nodded and held the book in her hand while Drayce returned to his work table to go through the pile of scrolls kept on his table.

Once Drayce moved away, she looked at a book that was brand new and as if no one even had touched it. It had a hard brown cover with a label that had the book's name written on it- [Human Body]

'Human body? I have never read such a book before,' she thought and kept it on the table as she opened its cover.

There was a bold heading at the top of the page again the same as the book name- [Human body]. She carefully started to read it like a studious girl.

[Humans are divided into two genders- Male(Man) and (Female) Woman]

There were rough sketches of a man and woman below it covering the rest of the page, wearing the clothes in Megaris style to represent that gender.

'What's there to know about it. I already know it,' she thought and turned the page to read further.

Seeing the next page, her eyes were left wide open as the next moment she closed the book in shock. 'Why is that woman not wearing any clothes?' she panicked.

Drayce noticed it and smiled lightly as he continued to work. Though he was busy, his attention was also on her Queen. He was sure, today he would witness the most amusing side of his queen when she would end up getting shocked after what she would see and read. It was just a start.

"My Queen, is there any trouble understanding the book?" Drayce asked, maintaining serious expressions.

Hearing it, she looked at Drayce and thought, 'Why would you give me such a book to read? So ill-mannered. And why would one draw a naked woman?'

"My Queen, let me help you," Drayce was about to stand up Seren said immediately, "N-No, Your Majesty. There is no difficulty that I need your help yet."

"Fine!" Saying, he continued sitting in his chair and resumed his work.

Seren looked back at the book and then looked at Drayce, "Your Majesty, do I really need to read this book?"

Drayce looked at her with an assuring gaze, "Yes, My Queen."

"Why?"

"So that My Queen can understand why a man and a woman are different. Aren't you curious, My Queen?" He asked, sounding as gentle as he could.

Seren nodded and held that book again.
