"Are you sure I didn’t do anything?" Ronan asked, still holding back a smile from blooming on his lips.
Seeing his wife covering sothing or lying was the most adorable thing he had ever seen. Arielle raised her hand and smoothed her already neat hair.
"Of course. If sothing happens, won’t I imdiately protest to you?" Arielle asked while looking at the window, avoiding making eye contact with her husband.
"Are you sure, my beautiful angel?" Ronan kept probing and teasing Arielle who continued to put on an innocent face.
"Ronan, I really don’t understand what you an. Co on, don’t waste ti. I don’t want your head to hurt all the ti," Arielle quickly chid in without giving an exact answer. After that, she left the room right away.
It was only after Arielle left that Ronan could laugh to his heart’s content. The man certainly rembered what happened last night. Even though he was very drunk, he was still able to rember everything clearly.
Ronan didn’t forget it one bit. He only pretended to forget to get an adorable reaction from Arielle. The man took off his shirt, showing off his well-ford chest and abs. He approached the sink to wash his face and rinse his mouth.
Even though his face felt refreshed by the cold water, his head still hurt badly. Ronan dried his face, as well as his body from cold water droplets with Arielle’s handkerchief then put back on his shirt which he had been wearing since yesterday.
Ronan could hear different voices from downstairs. He could see that everyone had gathered and four maids had arrived to tidy up the house and provide all their needs. He dragged his feet to co down from the stairs and took the chair that Kael had prepared for him.
After Ronan sat in his seat, he saw sothing different. The hands of Lazarus, William, and Kael were bandaged, and there were traces of blood in their respective clothes. Aie fed Lazarus whose right arm was bandaged. Kael fed William because William was also injured in the sa place, while Kael wasn’t injured in the palm of his hand but only one part of his arm.
anwhile, Irene was eating heartily while looking at the three grown-up n in front of her who looked miserable this morning.
Arielle arrived with a bowl of rib soup for Ronan.
"What happened to the three of you?" Ronan asked with a slight frown.
"Soone made the three of us clean up the living room. Then, a few bottles accidentally fell to the floor and broke, and it got on our hands," William answered while chewing his food.
"Huh? I don’t understand. So, the living room wasn’t cleaned up by the maids?"
"No, it was the three of us who cleaned that place."
"Your Majesty, this is a lesson. The three of them are grown-up n who must be responsible for their actions. How could they drink so unlawfully and ss up the house? Since they have two arms and two legs which are intact properly, I had them cleaned up and tidied it all. There was no Lucas here for them to order around, and the maid had also just arrived. I don’t want Princess Irene to be disturbed by the ssy living room," Aie explained with a fiery gaze.
Ronan glanced at the three of them for a while and wore a mischievous smile that made Lazarus barely stop from getting lost control. Aie quickly put the spoon in front of the man’s mouth to stop him from uttering a word.
Ronan was grateful he got back to his room and didn’t oversleep in the living room. He turned to his wife who looked a bit sulky when he mocked his three friends. The man then whispered using their mate bond and said sorry without a sound.
Breakfast was finished pretty fast. Aie returned to accompany Irene to rest, but the young girl said her body felt better now. It was just that she was still not used to her condition. Lazarus then invited Aie and Irene to take a walk around his workplace.
Ronan knew very well that Lazarus only wanted to impress Aie and Irene. Lazarus was a person who was both respected and hated in this place. It beca a public secret that the man had bad habits of getting drunk and playing with the girls.
However, because of Lazarus’ capability to lead the marine troops, they inevitably had to separate his persona as Northendell’s Greatest Admiral to ordinary Lazarus in his everyday life.
anwhile, William wanted to co along because he didn’t want to stay in the house as he didn’t have anything to do. It wasn’t just because of his boredom, but because he knew what Ronan’s gaze indicated. The king was looking at him with a look of, ’you have nothing to do, right? Do sothing for while I make out with my wife to my heart’s content.’
"Lord Kael? Does Lord Kael also want to co with us?" Irene asked the big man who had only spoken when it was needed.
"Thank you for the invitation, Princess. I will guard this place and keep an eye on the knights coming with us."
Ronan put down his drinking cup. "Co on, it’s a holiday. Relax yourself a bit. They want to take a walk, and I trust you more than those two people," muttered Ronan, which only Arielle and Kael could hear.
Kael looked doubtful until finally Aie returned with a warm coat for Irene.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I’ll go with them," Kael replied sincerely. Then, he followed the four people who had already asked permission to Arielle and Ronan to leave the house.
After a while, Arielle saw Kael’s back disappearing from the door.
"Lord Kael is really quiet, isn’t he...? I hope he can et a woman who can understand his intentions and thoughts sincerely," said Arielle.
Ronan pulled Arielle’s hand and held it tightly. Then, he asked the girl to look at him.
"Is there anything you want to do? Or do you want to join them?" he asked.
