is it raining husbands?

Ceslee's pov

" wow this smell" I inhale deeply. It's been so long since I smelled this heavenly petrichor. Chicago smells like rotton eggs now. Wish I could bottle up this auroma.

" good morning my majesty"

" arr.hur? fuck" I clutch my blanket tightly and back away to the corner of bed. damn, I forgot about the knock on door because of fragrence.

" my majesty, cursing first thing in morning will cause bad luck."

I look up and meet his lush green eyes that contrast sharply with his ivory skin Did he step out of historic drama or did I transmigrate in a historic novel like those lucky goodnovel female lead?, blond long hair, green eyes and this build, man like him doesn't exist.

He bends down and take the blanket from my hands. A gentle breeze forces his hair back, revealing his pointed ears.

Body modification? Wow, It looks so natural.

" your ears.. umm.. your ears are beautiful" and strange.

He didn't respond to my comment, his gaze is fixed on something else. I scream when I follow his gaze.

" you bastard" I push him and try to cover myself with my hands as much as I can.

" what did I do to deserve to such profanities? Now am I not allowed to even look at you" His arm circled my waist, pulling me up. my heart leapt at the proximity.

" I am afraid that one day you will forgot that I am your first husband." He scoffed

He is also my husband? It's ok. It's ok. Polygamy is new normal, I smile as wide as I can.

" no it's just.. it's morning so I am cranky" he went behind my back and pulled a flimsy gown out of thin air.

In a spur of a moment he tightened it around me. I was high alert as I think of the crime thriller where killer throatle the victim with their own cloth. I can feel every lace as he tied it suffocatingly tight.

"here, just as you like. Tight and easy to open" he smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. I can even see a hint of mockery and disappointment swirling in his green orbs. Am I thinking too much? Does it mean we still have brain in afterlife.

" should I help you or you want master blaze to join you again, my majesty?" his sudden voice jolted me out of my thoughts.

" what? NO NOBODY.!!" help me bath? What's this nuisanse I am not 2 year old unless, heat rushed up to my ears. Is he suggesting shower sex? I look up at the elf and shook my head in denial . he looks like holy priest the only difference is that he is wearing green instead of white but if he is offering thenn

No no I shook my head once again to shake off all unholy stupid thoughts.

" my majesty" he is looking at me, his eyebrows pressed together like I have elf ears not him.

" I heard you already, you'll sprain your neck" fuck I was shaking my head like a clown. Deep breath Ceslee you got this. he is husband I am wife, just need to behave like a wife with confidence.

" thank you for your concern, hubby?." i feigned highly joyful voice as much as I can muster but elfman's eyebrows shoot to the sky and I knew I said something I shouldn't.

" are you ok Lilith? Should I call the healer?" he looked at me with doubt. Damn, I need to behave moore like a regular loving wife

" I am fine, absolutely fine.. dear. How are you?" I try again and this time his jaw is hung open. Why he is getting shocked at every word. I'm messing this up.

" I am good, thanks for your grace majesty." He bow at me and then continue to stay and stare at me. should I say something?

" you can leave"

" thank you my majesty, I will inform maids" he bows again and walk out gracefully like the models in fashion show.

" thank god" Before I can even breathe a sigh of relief, dozens of people in blue uniforms swarmed in.

They all kneeled in front of me with a 'thud' sound.

(poor floor)

"GOOD MORNING. MAY YOU SHINE BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN EVERY DAY !!"

They spoke simultaneously, almost blowing my ears to Antarctica.

"ok?!"

They all continue to stare at the floor. Should I speak something more? Damn, if only I didn't sleep in the history class but I have watched dramas.

"I want to take a bath." I announce in a loud, stern voice. Now they will get the water ready, and I will call them after bath easy peasy.

"SURE, MY MAJESTY!"

uff my ears

I close my eyes because of their loud uproar. For many seconds I can only hear ting ting in my ears. When I open my eyes next, I found myself in the... bath hall?

What the fuck? How did I get here

I didn't even have the time to think on it before I was gently pulled into the water.

Many hands start scrubbing me everywhere and everywhere means everywhere. Some hands are applying some kind of gel on my inner lips while some hands scrub my breasts with....ash?

"hey.. Stop! Leave, all of you!"

And that's it. They all just vanished into thin air.

"if this continues, soon my brain nerves will burst and I will die, again!"

My voice echoed in the empty bath hall. I heave a sigh.

Yelling at empty walls would change nothing. Let's worry about everything else after I am clean. I wash myself thoroughly, trying to get rid of every touch I felt since I opened my eyes in this strange place.

After taking a bath, I look at my surroundings. Whole bath hall was illuminated in a soft purple glow but I can't find any light source. The pool I am in is almost twice at the size of my swimming pool back home.

'home?'

I wonder if Charles knows that I am not coming back ever. Will they ever find that I didn't die in an accident but was murdered by my uncle?

I shake my head to clear all the bubbling thoughts.

I need to focus on my current situation. I dry myself. What should I wear now? In a split second a red frilly gown appeared in front of me.

" bloody shit"

I glare at the red gown who is twirling in air with no wires or support. I snatch the gown and examine it.

No battery, no magnet, is it really magic?

I slip the gown in one go but couldn't tie the laces behind my back even after trying 7 times. I open my mouth to call out to someone, but immediately shut it. No, I don't want a repeat of the pool scene.

Let's just try one more time. Finally, I catch a dangling lace and spin to catch the other one only to step at my frilly gown and fall back into water.

*Splash

The more I try to swim and get my head above water, the more I sink further down. I move my legs and hand faster to reach the surface, but it's to no avail.

Just when I feel like I'm going to drown my hands grasp something hard and rough floating on surface.

'Wood? enormous chunk of wood"

I clutch it tightly and pull my body up with its help. as soon as my head is out. I shout for help

"ppphh!"

In the end I only blew some bubbles and throw some water around before I realize that my bloody gown is weighing me down and it's getting hard to hold the wood chunk.

'Oh god, just help me this time I'll light 5 candles this Sunday. I promise t.... my next thought was drowned because of the lack of oxygen. My vision turned blurry and eventually, Everything turned darker and I felt weightless as my body sinks further into water.

Am I going to die again?

Suddenly with a splash, I hear an alluring, seductive voice.

"Deadly Thornes hid behind the most delicate petals of flowers and sweetest dishes are most likely to be poisoned. To get out of the danger, you must let go of the allure of beauty."

'Whoever you are I'm freaking drowning here; can't you save your poetry for some another time.'

I feel something cool near my thighs and then a tearing sound comes. after that I couId move my legs freely. I don't let the opportunity go and pull myself up with all of my power and finally manage to sit on the wood chunk or whatever it is.

After I calmed myself, a rippling of water around my legs caught my attention.

I look at my legs and...

Fin? I'm not sitting on a wood chunk. I'm sitting on something blue that has f...fin?

My eyes widened as I realize I might be sitting on a whale!

"WHALE!"

"Whale? That's not a good nickname for me, mufi. I'm not that weak"

With summoning all of my courage I peak at the left and almost jumped in the water back.

"Merman?!"

He frowned and flicked his white hair aside from his forehead uncovering his beautiful blue eyes

"What happened to you, Mufi? Why are you giving me these childish nicknames? If you really want to give me a nickname..."

His tail suddenly flicks upward which made my head collide with his but surprisingly it didn't hurt

"think like an adult."

He licks his lips and I gulp at the proximity. I try to look up to avoid any more embarrassing situations but my gaze stopped at his deep red scar. It goes from his nose bridge to his left cheek.

He noticed my gaze and smirks

" I can give you more beautiful and deeper scares than this, mufi"

His voice was soft still it made me feel chilled to bone.

' now what bad I've done to him, torn his scales?'

" Afterall love can hurt more, right?, mufi?"

I look up at him, failing to hide my surprise and shouted

"LOVE??!"

"yes darling"

He smiled at me.

I love him too? Oh god. Just how many guys I have?

Who is next?...Spiderman?

I was lost in my thoughts when I feel something cold and wet on my lips. He pulls me closer and before I can react his lips already left mine.

"oh! I apologize for intruding your privacy, my queen. i didn't know brother lyric will be here since you clearly said you don't need anybody to help you bath today" Someone said in a sharp voice. I turn towards the voice and see the elfman glaring at me and merman.

" it's not what you think. I just fell in water and I was drowning so he only helped-

" you don't need to explain yourself to this humble servant, I know my boundaries and my duties very well. I asked because wanted to make sure everything's set in the bath-hall for you to enjoy." Elfman bowed and turn his back against us

" I will take the leave, my majesty. Enjoy ur bath. " I can almost hear his teeth grinding

" why you are in such hurry, brother dil? You can join us too, the more the better"

"it's earndil for you, brother lyric, I don't appreciate being called informally especially from you"

" oh ok EARNDIL. if you don't wanna join you can just stay and watch. I am sure the queen will like the thrill of being watched while moaning in pleasure. Right, my queen"

" what the-" I stopped myself in time. I feel my ears heating at his words but I can't do anything out of character what if they think I am witch. No can't risk getting burned again. I shudder in fear.

" sure, you can join" my voice come out weaker than I expected. I clenched my fists, please say no, please say no. I am seriously not freaking ready for it.

Earndil sat on his knees with a thud .

" her highness, I apologize but I would like our intimate actions to remain private." He glared at the lyric

So he is saying no. yes!!!

" ok, you can leave" earndil bows down and kiss? Kiss the floor

" thank you for your kindness my majesty" I feel merman's hand snake around my waist as he make me turn.

" you have suddenly become so kind and modest. What are you planning  wifey" he whispered softly and rubs my left cheek but the only sensation i feel is buzzing in my ears.  he is my husband tooo??

" your skin is glowing too"

" it's because-" before I can make up a lie, his lips are on me again. it tasted like sea, salty yet addictive. The world around me soon vanish in burst of sparks. The kiss deepend as he takes my lower lip between his teeth, gently nibbling on it.

" mhmm" a soft sigh escaped my lips as his tongue entered my mouth. he pulled back abruptly

" you taste different too. You taste like burnt rose unlike lavenders before"

I feel cold. Does he know

" I changed my perfume"

Lyric smirked and put his hands atop mine, resting on his chest. when did I even put my hands on him?.

" you surely changed" he smirked. My heart skip a beat because of fear.

" I have some work to do, hope you enjoy your trip with alex" he said and snapped his fingers

" ok what?" in a millisecond I am back in the room I woke up before and I am all alone

" fucking bloody duck, was it illusion or a dream just now " no my lips are swollen and I could still smell the fishy smell in my mouth

" it's not a dream, not a book and it's raining husband here.  please don't let another husband pop up in my life" i smack my head, nothing is making sense 

" I am in somebody else's body for real and I am a strange ancient queen who is fucking three husbands everyday! Great just great"

" actually it's four not 3, your majesty"

A voice came from right behind me
