"Did I hear wrong? What kind of bullshit is this? Arielle doesn’t need to have a diet. She has a lot of activity. She should eat a lot too to recharge her energy."
"Your Majesty..." called Aie, trying to be patient with the king’s attitude. These few days, everything went smoothly without any interruptions. Arielle did all the body treatnts and diets, but when the king took the princess to the square, Aie was sure that the man would buy various foods for Princess Arielle.
It was not that Aie and Tania forbid the princess to eat as she pleased, but foods with uncertain nutritional content out there could ss up the results of their treatnt so far. Besides, what if the dress that had been made was too small in Princess Arielle’s body later? This was all so that Arielle could look more beautiful.
Ronan held his ears, feeling ticklish by Aie’s explanation. "Nonsense! Arielle would be beautiful in any form. I don’t want to know. Don’t forbid Arielle to eat anything," Ronan ordered, which Aie accepted with a sigh.
Ronan was suspicious because Arielle had been so enthusiastic about trying various kinds of food earlier. It turned out that all this ti, without him knowing it, they had arranged a diet for Arielle’s food.
"This is for Princess Arielle to look more beautiful on her wedding day."
"Arielle is already beautiful!" said Ronan, who did not accept Aie’s explanation.
Instantly, the atmosphere beca quiet and awkward. Arielle had to co forward to separate Aie and Ronan, who were glaring at each other.
"Let’s keep calm, everyone," said Arielle.
Arielle didn’t need any fight now. She knew that Aie’s intentions were good so that she wouldn’t feel sick on her stomach. Just like now, after overeating at the night market, Arielle’s stomach started to hurt. So Arielle can understand the good intentions of Aie and Tania who maintain her diet so as not to overdo it.
"Ronan... I’m fine."
"But, what if you’re starving, Arielle?" Ronan asked worriedly while holding Arielle’s face, which did look skinnier than usual.
The girl laughed, making Ronan’s worries wash away. "I’m fine... I eat well and never feel hungry at all," she replied while holding the man’s hand.
Ronan frowned and looked back at Aie sharply. "I don’t care. Arielle should eat more," he said without giving Aie, Lucas, or William a chance to interrupt.
Then, the midnight bell rang. William grabbed Ronan’s shoulder and Aie also grabbed Arielle.
"From now on, you two are prohibited from seeing each other until the wedding day," Aie said sharply as she led Arielle to return to her room. Arielle looked back before saying goodnight and Ronan looked at Arielle walking away from him with a heavy feeling.
"Five minutes!" Ronan exclaid before Aie and Tania took Arielle further.
"Co on, Ronan ... it’s ti for you to rest ..." William urged Ronan to go back to his room by pulling the king’s hand to move from the front yard of the Whitethorn Palace.
"Give five minutes to talk."
"But, it’s already past midnight," Aie replied.
"Five minutes or I will force Arielle to co to my room tonight."
Arielle’s face turned red for a mont. She wanted to shut the man’s mouth, but they were too far away. She then released Aie’s hand from hers gently.
"Only five minutes. I promise I’ll be back," Arielle said, reassuring Aie and Tania. Aie and Tania looked at each other, then nodded, allowing the princess to et her beloved fiancé.
Lucas accepted Arielle’s winter coat and led Aie and Tania away. He had a hunch that the two of them wouldn’t just talk, so it wasn’t good for them to stay and watch their intimacy. William was also being pushed away by Ronan. Now, Arielle was standing on the stairs, waiting for Ronan to keep William away from him.
Arielle pursed her lips, feeling funny seeing William’s grumbling face because Ronan forced the man to leave.
After the two were left alone, Ronan walked over. He grabbed both of Arielle’s hands gently.
"Report to as soon as possible if they forbid you to eat, understand?" Ronan said, making Arielle laugh.
The man was really weird, but Arielle just nodded.
Ronan grabbed Arielle’s face gently. Then, Arielle also raised her hand to lower the cloth covering half of the man’s face so she could see Ronan clearly.
"It was fortunate that we can et tonight. Thank you for taking out to the square, Ronan," Arielle replied.
Ronan pressed their foreheads together. "After we get married... we have to go on a lot of dates. You will truly be my wife, and every night I can hold you in my arms."
Arielle tiptoed to give the man a long kiss on the left cheek. Just like what she did when Ronan drove her back from the festival.
"Ronan, thanks again for everything."
Tears rolled down Arielle’s cheeks, rembering everything Ronan had done for her. Maybe Arielle wasn’t really a suitable partner for the man, but she was still in the process of being a perfect partner for Ronan. Little by little, Arielle was able to dare to stand on her own two feet.
Arielle used to have a lot of fears, but there’s nothing for her to worry about right now because Arielle always believed Ronan would support her when she fell and help her get up again. With that belief, Arielle studied harder and promised to herself to reach a point where she could be proud of herself in the future.
There was a process for everything. Nothing was instant. Arielle knew that. Thus, she would never stop trying. It was all thanks to Ronan, who always encouraged her.... Arielle could not ask for anything more from the Moon Goddess because for her the existence of Ronan was the best gift she had ever received in her life.
The kiss on the cheek has moved to the lips. A very soft and passionate kiss.
"Ronan, I love you."
Ronan looked at Arielle’s sparkling blue eyes, then kissed the girl’s forehead gently.
"I love you too, my sunshine," Ronan replied.
