"Your Majesty, you may return to your room. I can accompany Princess Irene after this. It is getting late too. You should also go back to rest."
Arielle shook her head and sat on a wooden chair near the table where Irene’s embroidery was there.
"It’s fine. I’ve had too much rest. I’ll probably wait for Irene for a few more hours. Aie, you’re the one who should be resting. You haven’t slept since we got here," Arielle replied.
She was very aware that Aie had done a lot for Irene. Calling the maids living in different houses would also take too long.
Arielle knew how hurt it was the first ti she had nstruation, so she wanted to make Irene comfortable and would be there whenever needed. Aie uttered her gratitude for Arielle’s generosity. Truly, she couldn’t imagine a queen doing all this.
Perhaps if another woman was their current queen, she wouldn’t want to bother herself. She would definitely call the maids to do everything, especially if the queen was born and raised in a noble family. They would never want to trouble herself with this kind of thing.
Moreover, Arielle also cooked for Aie earlier. A typical Nieverdell cuisine. The warm soup that accompanied the two of them along with Kael who didn’t go to the port city. This simple gesture certainly stuck in Aie’s mory.
Just as Aie was about to close her eyes, there was a knock on the door from outside. Arielle imdiately stood up, forbidding Aie to get up.
There was already Ronan in front of her with various kinds of food that she didn’t know where the man got.
"Where did you get all this?" asked Arielle curiously.
"I bought this while we were in the port city. I hope this will accompany your night."
Arielle received the variety of food and fruits from Ronan and put it on the table in the room.
"Arielle," called Ronan once more.
The girl ca back and closed the door so that her conversation with her husband wouldn’t disturb anyone.
"What’s wrong?"
"Please help explain about won’s bodies to those idiots down there."
"Huh?"
Ronan sighed in an exasperated manner, like a person who was exhausted of facing life.
"Lazarus just ca back and they are currently arguing about won’s nstrual cycles. I don’t have the capacity to answer that because I’m not a woman. However, if you are the one who explains it, I believe they will understand."
"But, I don’t know anything about science."
"It doesn’t have to be scientific. You can tell them about anything you know."
"Okay, I will accompany you." In the end, Arielle relented and followed her husband.
The two of them ca back down, and Arielle felt sorry upon seeing Kael who was currently pulling his hair in an exasperated manner. The man sat between Lazarus and William who were arguing heatedly. It was clear that their debate wasn’t sothing to be trifled with.
"Is there anything I can help with?" Arielle asked William and Lazarus.
The two n stopped talking and turned to Arielle. They quickly asked a series of questions along with their opinion about a woman’s body. Arielle didn’t know which to listen to first. The two of them were very fiery when they spoke.
anwhile, Kael still hung his head low with his hands covering his ears. He wanted to leave that place right away. If only he were in the palace, he could use the excuse of patrolling or training his knights at a ti like this.
Arielle felt the sight was quite hilarious, and she couldn’t stop herself from laughing. Hearing Arielle’s laugh, both Lazarus and William fell silent, feeling confused why the girl in front of them laughed when they asked sothing serious.
"Sorry, I couldn’t hold back my laughter. Both of you are so adorable. It reminds of when Sasha was whining about sothing. So, can you ask one by one? I can’t really keep up with all of your questions if you ask them at the sa ti like just now."
William raised his hand, asking permission to ask first. Ronan told Arielle to sit on the couch, and he sat on the armrest while folding his arms on his chest, waiting for William and Lazarus to solve their problem.
"Your Majesty, I have a question. Do all won experience nstruation? Lazarus said there are also won who don’t experience it. He said his mother and Aie never had nstrual cycles," William asked, making Arielle crease her brows in thought.
"I’m telling the truth! My mother never experienced that. Aie also never experienced it. You can ask Kael. Kael, have you ever seen your sister get her nstrual cycles?"
Kael groaned softly. "Ugh, I’ve never seen one. It’s because I’m not close to my sister. Sigh... Now, I realize that I am not a good older brother."
"But, that can’t be Lazarus."
"How confident are you about that?"
Upon hearing that question, William sowhat looked baffled. He wasn’t sure either. He had never seen the won around him experience nstruation. Even Arielle, who had lived with them in the palace for quite long, had never bled as much as Irene before.
Not only Arielle, the maids who often passed in front of him were also never seen bleeding that much.
"Um... I-I don’t know," William replied hesitantly.
"I’m not good at giving answers scientifically. I will answer according to what I know. What I know is that every human being who has a uterus can experience cycles of nstruation, bleeding, nstruation, or whatever you call it."
William, who looked doubtful earlier, straightened his back again and laughed at Lazarus’ confused face.
"But, Your Majesty..."
"Because our bodies can clean ourselves as well as store the blood properly."
Arielle tried to explain everything she knew to William and Lazarus. What surprised her was that Kael was equally ignorant of this matter even though he had a mother, as well as a younger sister.
"It ans... Aie also experienced it?" asked Kael.
