Primrose’s face immediately turned red the moment she heard Mirelle’s words. She hadn’t expected her to ask about the queen’s sex life so openly!
"I ... I’m not sure," Primrose lowered her voice, hoping Edmund wouldn’t hear her. "We just ... do it the usual way."
To be honest, it was usually Edmund who took the lead and changed their positions throughout the night.
But as far as she could remember, he’d never done anything weird or too out of the ordinary.
Their sex life was pretty much exactly how she imagined it would be when she read steamy novels or those adult guides meant to help married couples.
"The usual way is good, but ..." Mirelle smiled knowingly. "Sometimes, to keep the spark alive, you can try something new. Come on, Your Majesty, let me show you around."
Primrose hesitated and shook her head. "I-I don’t think—"
"Oh, don’t be shy." Before Primrose could escape, Mirelle had already grabbed her hand, pulling her further into the shop. "There’s no harm in learning a little more, right?"
What kind of learning was this? Studying shelves full of fake penises?
Wait, what?
Primrose’s eyes widened as she finally realized what was in front of her. A whole row of fake manhoods, all in different sizes.
Some were smaller than her husband’s, but others ... were shockingly huge.
How the hell could anyone fit something that big?
But after thinking for a moment, she remembered that women in the beast land were generally taller and bigger than Primrose, so they probably wouldn’t have trouble taking such large manhoods.
Still ... wasn’t that a bit too much?
"Are you interested in this one, Your Majesty?" Mirelle suddenly picked up one and held it right in front of Primrose’s face.
"This one’s called Companion of the Night. A lot of widows or wives whose husbands are away for long periods use this to keep themselves company," Mirelle explained. "Do you want to give it a try? I can help you find the perfect size."
[Should I buy it for my wife?]
Primrose froze the moment she heard her husband’s voice. She had completely forgotten that Edmund was standing beside her the whole time!
[I’m away from the palace quite often ... Maybe my wife gets lonely while I’m gone.]
In a panic, Primrose quickly pushed the toy away and blurted out, "No ... I-I prefer the real thing!"
Even if she did feel lonely when Edmund was gone, she just couldn’t imagine using a fake one by herself.
It felt too awkward. Too embarrassing.
Besides, sex was more exciting and way more satisfying when she was with Edmund. So, really, she didn’t need anything like that, maybe not yet.
"Ah, what a pity." Mirelle looked disappointed for a moment before smiling again. "But don’t worry. I’ve got lots of other fun things to show you!"
From the outside, the shop didn’t look that big, but once they stepped in, Primrose was surprised by how spacious it actually was. Way bigger than she had expected.
She didn’t quite understand how it worked, but the store was divided into three zones: green, yellow, and red.
Primrose wasn’t sure why Mirelle used colors to separate the sections, but the farther they walked into the darker zone, the stranger everything seemed.
The items on display looked more and more ... bizarre.
And the moment she stepped into the red zone, Primrose’s jaw dropped in shock. She actually considered running away.
There were handcuffs, whips, and even dog collars. Were these really supposed to be for pleasure ... or were they just tools for torture?!
"If you enjoy a little pain, you might like some of these," Mirelle said sweetly, her face completely innocent. "This whip, for example, some people enjoy getting spanked. Who knows? Maybe you’re one of them, Your Majesty?"
Hell, no.
Primrose could barely hold back tears when she stubbed her toe on a chair, so there was no way she’d enjoy being whipped!
Only someone with brain damage would find pleasure in pain.
Wait ... what about Edmund? He didn’t secretly want to whip her, did he?
[If my wife were into this, I’d let her whip me instead,] Edmund thought calmly.
There was absolutely no way she’d want to whip her husband!
No. This section clearly wasn’t meant for her and her soft-hearted husband.
"Um ... could you maybe show me something lighter?" Primrose asked, her voice soft. "Something that doesn’t involve pain ... or maybe something for beginners?"
Mirelle responded in her head first, [Such a pity ... she hasn’t even seen the wooden horse yet.]
The what?
Primrose followed Mirelle’s gaze and froze.
So, she just laughed awkwardly and politely said goodbye.
What was odd, though, was how quiet Edmund had been. From the moment they left the Euphoria Shop until they were seated inside the carriage, he didn’t say a single word.
He placed the bag beside him and couldn’t stop glancing at it like he couldn’t wait to open it immediately.
[I should check everything inside first, just to make sure it’s all safe for my wife.]
Primrose, on the other hand, had zero plans to use any of those things!
But whatever. Edmund would probably forget about it if she just never brought it up again.
Once they arrived at the inn, both Edmund and Primrose went straight to clean themselves up and changed into something more comfortable for bed.
Since Primrose needed help getting out of her dress and removing her makeup, she decided to bathe in a different room.
It took her nearly an hour and a half just to get ready for bed.
"Maybe you should just stay in your room and rest tomorrow, Your Majesty," Marielle suggested kindly. "The view from your bedroom is lovely, and you and His Majesty could enjoy a quiet day together."
Marielle had a point.
After all the walking she had done today, Primrose’s whole body felt sore. Honestly, she didn’t feel like leaving her bed tomorrow.
"Yeah, I’m staying in," Primrose said with a tired smile. "Please have our meals brought up to the room."
Once she made that decision, she meant it.
Nothing sounded better than a full day of cuddles with her husband. Besides, Raven wasn’t coming until the day after tomorrow, so she had the whole day to herself.
Maybe she could even play a game with Edmund, something fun like a board game. It had been ages since she’d played anything like that with someone.
But just as she told Edmund her plan to stay in bed all day, he suddenly pulled out a book from under the blanket and said with a straight face, "How about we try a few things from this book now, my wife?"
Primrose blinked, her eyes widening as she looked at the cover.
It had a drawing of a naked man and woman. And the title, printed in big bold letters, read: "Secrets Guide for a Good Husband: 100 Ways to Please Your Wife."
She was sure this had come from Mirelle’s cursed collection!
But more importantly, why did Edmund look so serious about it?!
