The King's Beloved Mafia Concubine
SKKM CHAPTER 23 - Decision

And according to Izek's wishes when he returned to the house in the city of De Servant, Izek immediately bathed Grace.

As usual, Grace only resigned when Izek touched her body even though she was embarrassed to death.

"The shampoo first" Izek said, taking a shampoo and rubbing Grace's hair.

The girl was sitting in a bathtub that was already filled with water.

"Lift your hand if I'm too strong, I'll reduce my strength" Izek said. She's been rubbing Grace's hair and trying not to hurt the sweet cat.

Grace was silent until Izek finished rubbing her hair and then the man washed her body with soap. Grace could only bite her lower lip.

"Don't get bitten, it's my job" Izek said, rubbing Grace's lips. The girl seemed to cover her fear.

Izek initially wanted to snatch the lips but seeing Grace's expression, Izek undoed his intention. She continued cleaning Grace's body then carried it when it was done.

"You can wear your own clothes, right?" ask Izek.

Grace nodded and picked up a white dress for him to wear. She was so nervous because Izek kept looking at her.

Must be a scar on my back

Instantly the memory of events once again twisted in his brain, how he was whipped to death. If he screams and asks for forgiveness, the lash will be even harder.

From then on Grace chose silence and made her lose her voice, maybe her brain suggested that if she was silent, she would be safe, she would not be sick.

"Is anyone sick?" Izek asked because Grace was suddenly crying. "Is that how scared you are of me?"

Izek thought that Grace was still afraid of him no matter how much the girl had to be with him now.

"I'm leaving" said Izek, who wanted to get out of Grace's room so she wouldn't cry anymore.

Izek's feet stepped towards the door but a moment later he felt a hug from behind. Grace ran over and hugged him, both skinny hands coiled around her stomach.

"King.." call Lurika while knocking on Grace's door. He just got a call from the mafia king.

"Come in!" sahut Izek from within.

When Lurika entered, she found Izek sitting leaning on the bed with Grace in his arms.

"Do you need anything, King?" ask Lurika.

"How did you learn sign language?" Izek asked back, wanting to learn sign language so he could talk to Grace and know what she was feeling.

"I learned from Miss Grace herself, King. Because I'm used to it so I automatically understand myself" Lurika replied.

So, Izek just needs to get used to it. But, he could not twenty-four hours with the girl. And as it is now it is time to return to the palace.

"Prepare Grace's things. I'll take her to the palace, Izzy will teach Grace many things" Izek said later.

Eventually he decided to bring it to the palace so Grace would always be within his reach. Hopefully the decision is the right one.

"I'm going to introduce Grace as my fiancee so don't let her real identity be revealed,"

"Okay, King."
