Since yesterday, Ronan kept making her eat a lot of foods, starting from snacks to heavy als. The man said that Arielle looked much thinner, and Ronan wanted to pamper her with various kinds of food.
At first, Arielle really felt grateful because when she lived in Birwick Mountain, she could only eat foods from nature. Arielle even had to sort it out first because she couldn’t eat all the at. Sotis, she felt like crying when Otis brought rabbit at.
So, Arielle decided to refuse eating the at because just seeing Otis eating rabbit at made her rember her rabbit family in the palace. She would never have the heart to eat it! She preferred to eat fruit that she picked alone without anyone’s help. Besides, she mostly ca back to the castle in exhausted condition after training under Maxieno, so she no longer had the energy to find her own food and sotis chose to sleep instead.
"I’m still so full. You already made eat so much."
"Of course. Don’t you feel your body has beco very thin? I am worried that I will accidentally break your bone."
"Ronan..."
Ronan laughed and kissed Arielle’s cheek from behind. "I know I am exaggerating a bit, but I want you to see your tubby body again. I also miss your chubby cheeks," he said while biting Arielle’s cheek.
Arielle turned to the side, and Ronan kissed her lips. He sucked it gently while biting the girl’s lower lip. Until the loud thud of sothing crashing into the snow pile outside made Arielle and Ronan break their kiss.
"If it’s William again, I’ll really kill him," Ronan said angrily. He kept cursing while leaving Arielle to see what had just fallen to the snow from the balcony.
Arielle also stood up curiously. Then, the smile on her lips grew. A yellow dragon with pink hues arrived and turned into a human.
"Luffy!" Arielle shouted to Luffy who looked frightened by several knights pointing their arrows at him.
Arielle turned to Ronan and exclaid happily, "Ronan! That’s Luffy. The dragon I’ve been talking about!" She then raised her hand so that Luffy could see her from upstairs.
"Luffy!!!" called Arielle.
"Oh, Arielle! I’ve been looking for you!" Luffy replied.
"Wait there a mont!"
Arielle took Ronan’s hand to co with her. It was really Luffy! Luffy must have brought news from Maxieno! Ronan told Arielle to be more careful, but the girl couldn’t wait to hear about Irene and Arthur from Luffy.
After she arrived at the palace courtyard, Arielle found Luffy who was about to cry because the boy was surrounded by people he didn’t know. Arielle passed the knight surrounding Luffy, and Ronan’s presence was enough to make all the knights suspicious of Luffy’s presence retreat slowly.
"Luffy!"
"Arielle!" Luffy shouted and hugged Arielle’s body because he was scared.
It was true. The young boy Arielle saw yesterday when she left the Birwick forest was really Luffy. The boy had grown very fast. She rembered that Luffy’s height was only up to her stomach, but now he almost rose to her neck.
Seeing Arielle hugging a teenage boy tightly, Ronan cleared his throat, so that his wife would imdiately release her arms.
"Luffy, what happened to you? You look bigger now? I didn’t see you for only a few weeks, yet you have grown this fast!" said Arielle while holding Luffy’s mature face. The boy changed from a child into a teenager.
"I’m going through puberty, Arielle. I saw you training, and it really motivated to try hard too. So, I trained with my father. I also didn’t expect that I’d finally hit puberty, and I’m growing so fast! I can catch up with my other siblings soon," Luffy replied, feeling very proud of his growth.
"Then, how did you get here? Did Maxieno know you were here?" asked Arielle.
"Yes. Just a mont, I brought you sothing."
Luffy reached into the pocket on his robe then took out the red snowdrop necklace that was snatched by Maxieno before. It also ca with a neatly folded brown piece of paper.
"Maxieno gave this thing to summon you. Abigail wants to see you and give her children to you in person. She also told you to bring Arthur and Irene ho right away."
"Huh? Maxieno gave this thing to ?’
Luffy nodded. "Yes, I accidentally saw him being scolded by Otis, and Maxieno threw the necklace on the floor. Then, Otis told to return it to you because Maxieno is still upset and doesn’t want to see you again," Luffy explained, making Ronan who had been hearing it snorted in amusent.
’A grown man acts like a child. It’s both ridiculous and embarrassing,’ he thought
"Then, you’re going to bring Arielle back to that place?" Ronan asked and Luffy nodded his head.
Arielle opened the brown letter then nodded. It was a call from Otis to imdiately pick up Arthur and Irene because Maxieno was very upset because he forbade the man to keep the necklace. That way Arielle had to pick them up herself.
Arielle turned to Ronan.
"I will wait for you here, and I want you to co back before nightfall."
Arielle frowned. She was a bit confused because Ronan suddenly changed his mind. Yesterday, the man had clearly said that he would only allow Arielle to visit Abigail on the condition that Ronan had to co along. So, why did the man suddenly change his mind?
"I know you’re confused right now. I’ve thought about it, and I decided to trust you. I feel I’ve been very selfish for keeping you to myself. I don’t want you to feel bored around ."
"Oh, Ronan ... I will never get tired of being around you," Arielle replied with a reassuring smile.
She ca closer and hugged Ronan gently. Getting the attention and protection of her husband was a very pleasant feeling. Now, Arielle could do everything with a calm and relieved feeling because she was sure that Ronan would always protect her.
However, being given a trust like this made her really happy. It felt like Ronan had acknowledged herself, and she could do sothing in her own strength
