His insides screamed at him to run away as if his life depended on it, but he knew he wouldn't be able to from this close, so he stayed still and watched Duke Alastair, weakly returning the intense stare. Entry was clearly forbidden if the bath was already preoccupied, but who could really stop the royal prince from doing it? Then he saw Duke Alastair suddenly starting to unbutton his coat, dropping the articles of his clothes one by one to the floor.
"Do you know what I regretted the most after that night?"
"…"
Only after a while of hearing Alastair's voice did Ellis wake up from his shock and snatched the coat from the floor to somewhat cover his important parts and potentially run out of here!
Clutching the coat tightly, he pulled himself out of the bath; one step away from Alastair, he was immediately grabbed by the arm by Alastair, who was completely naked. Ellis exchanged an uneasy gaze with him, and the next second, he was dragged into the bath with Alastair.
SPLASH
