\u201cYou\u2019re ridiculous. Your mother would definitely have me executed.\u201d \u201cI wouldn\u2019t allow it. I\u2019d stop her. And if I couldn\u2019t, I\u2019d kidnap you and run off to live out in the wild with you as my husband. We\u2019d raise rabbits and have a garden where I complain about our rabbits stealing the carrots.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s nonsense,\u201d Hugo chided, but he still laughed, feeling lighter for telling him the truth. \u201cIt is, and it isn\u2019t. I\u2019ll do anything to keep you, Hugo Baker. You make me happier than I\u2019ve ever been, and I\u2019m not about to let that go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hugo wrapped his arms around Everand\u2019s waist, pulling him in close. \u201cThen don\u2019t. However, I must talk to your mother. My conscience won\u2019t let me continue living this charade.\u201d \u201cLet me talk to her first. Soften her up. Get her to see reason. She has to know she forced you into this corner. I\u2019ll fix this.\u201d A frown tugged at the corners of Hugo\u2019s mouth. He didn\u2019t want Everand to be involved with this. It was his problem, but he could see the wisdom in it.<\/p>\n

Everand probably knew the right words to say to get his mother to relent. A few good words from him might also help get her to consider Hugo as a true suitor for her son. \u201cVery well,\u201d Hugo mumbled. \u201cGood. Now, let\u2019s get you undressed and into the bath.\u201d 1kitap1.com\/en Seventeen ugo did not allow the prince to help him take a bath, even though it was incredibly tempting. Prince Everand was also more than willing to play the role of the diligent valet, helping his lord out of his clothes.<\/p>\n

But after an unseemly amount of giggling and even more kissing, Hugo got Ev out the door so he could take a fast bath alone. His resolve was crumbling, though. It was likely this would be his last bath without the prince if he remained in the castle much longer. For now, he was enjoying the slow romance, trying to savor every kiss and smile. He wouldn\u2019t allow himself to believe it was all on the verge of falling apart.<\/p>\n

No, he had a shot at keeping his prince forever. He just had to figure out how he was going to convince the king and queen that he was worthy of their only son. That was a problem for later. Today, he had the chance to spend the day with Ev without them having to run for their lives or fight Wulian soldiers. He washed and redressed in the clothes he\u2019d worn to the castle.<\/p>\n
