Arielle nodded in understanding, then followed William to return to her room.
Inside the room, the nausea she felt ca back to her at once. This ti, it felt more intense, and she couldn’t help but run to the bathroom to vomit what was in her stomach.
The urge to vomit was so strong, but nothing ca out. Arielle didn’t eat anything this afternoon, so her stomach was still empty. She wanted to call William or Lucas again but was afraid to bother them.
Her stomach was churning as the ship shook violently. Her experience of facing a storm at sea caused Arielle to panic a little.
The girl rushed to rinse her mouth to get rid of the bitter taste. After everything was clean, Arielle climbed into bed, trying to sleep with the coat and shoes still attached to her body.
Arielle didn’t have the strength to take it off.
"Ronan," Arielle called weakly.
(Arielle? Are you alright? You sound weak?) asked Ronan worriedly.
"I’m fine. You don’t need to worry. But can you sing a lullaby? I’m sleepy, but it’s hard for to fall asleep because of the ship’s movent."
(Arielle? Tell the truth. You’re not feeling well? Have you had your lunch?" Ronan asked frantically.
"I’m totally fine. I’m just sleepy, Ronan. I just need you to sing a lullaby."
"Are you sure? I can call Lucas to get you a warm drink."
"Calling Lucas? Did you forget that we are already in a different place?"
(Er... you... are... right. I almost forgot about it. But please don’t hide anything. I’ll know, Arielle. If I hear you’re sick, I’ll drag a dragon to fly to you right away)
Arielle let out a chuckle. She closed her eyes, trying to sleep so her nausea would go away.
"A dragon? Who is that?"
(Dunno, maybe your dragon friend? What’s his na?) Ronan asked, pretending to forget Maxineo’s na.
"Well, who is he, hmm? I don’t rember his na either," Arielle responded to Ronan’s joke. Ronan laughed and was relieved when he heard his wife laughing along with him.
(Forget about that. You want to sing you a lullaby?"
"Yup," Arielle replied without hesitation.
"Don’t protest if my voice makes your ears hurt and you have a hard ti falling asleep instead.)
"That’s not going to happen, Ronan."
Ronan cleared his throat, then sang a children’s song that he still rembered. He continued to sing, and slowly Arielle felt at ease and began to drift off to slumber.
Arielle fell asleep in her room alone with Ronan still singing through their telepathy.
The nausea was back. Arielle felt uncomfortable in her sleep. She forced herself to get up. She looked at the dark sky outside the window. Maybe she slept through the night. Arielle got up to empty her stomach into the bathroom.
Her mouth tastes so bitter. Even her throat also hurt from contracting to wanting vomit sothing but nothing could be brought out. The ship rocked harder. Arielle held the table to balance herself.
On the table, there was a warm teapot. It seems like Lucas brought it while he was asleep, Lucas brought him so more ginger tea. Arielle imdiately poured the tea from the teapot and found the sa ginger tea.
She tasted it to calm her nausea. Surprisingly, her craving for strawberries grew stronger. Even thinking about it made Arielle’s mouth water. Arielle couldn’t help it any longer.
She was going to ask Lucas if they had any strawberries with them this ti or not. With weak legs walking on the swaying ship, Arielle used the bedroom walls to balance her body.
Arielle knocked on Lucas’s room.
"Lucas, it’s ," Arielle called from outside her room.
Lucas imdiately appeared. still as neatly dressed as yesterday afternoon.
"Yes, Your Majesty? Is there anything I can help you with?" Lucas asked looking at Arielle to check the woman’s condition.
"Um.. sohow my mouth tastes a bit bitter. Did you bring strawberries with you?"
"Strawberries? We only brought frostberries and so Northendell fruit, Your Majesty."
"Ah... is that so... can you bring so Frostberries for ? I want to fill my stomach with fruit."
"Don’t you want to eat? You haven’t filled your stomach since noon."
"I really have no appetite right now, Lucas. This rocking ship is giving a bit of a headache."
Lucas thought for a mont. The man closed the door behind him.
"A while ago I prepared ginger tea for you. I hope you can taste it to make your body more energized."
"I’ve tasted it before here. Your tea really helped ."
"In that case, okay. I will get so fruit for you right away, Your Majesty."
Arielle returned to wait in her room. The woman sat watching the darkness outside. There was nothing to see but pitch darkness. In the window itself only visible reflections of the contents of the room only.
Arielle wonders why Lucas is taking so long? It seed she had been waiting for more than thirty minutes alone.
There was a knock on the door, maybe Lucas had brought her so fruit.
Arielle didn’t turn around, only saw through the reflection of the window glass. Lucas arrived with a man in Northendell coat behind him. The knight was wearing casual clothes protected by a thick coat with a hood covering his face.
Arielle couldn’t see the face of the man behind Lucas. The woman could only let out a long sigh. The man’s posture reminded Arielle of her husband. Maybe she just missed her husband so much right now.
"Your Majesty, I brought so fruit for you. Sorry for making you wait so long."
Arielle turned to give Lucas a smile. The man ca closer then put a plate of fruit in front of Arielle. Arielle frowned at the sight of strawberries also on her plate. She turned quickly to Lucas.
"Lucas? Where do you get strawberries? Aren’t we just taking Northendell’s fruit with us?"
Lucas smiled. "We bought it from one of the sellers on this ship. A girl and her brother selling fruit downstairs, they happen to be from Nieverdell and sell strawberries."
"Oh? They’re from Nieverdell?" asked Arielle enthusiastically.
"Yes, Your Majesty. These fruits also co from Nieverdell."
"Oh, I wish I had a chance to talk to them."
Lucas permission to leave the room. Arielle waved her hand to thank Lucas again for trying to bring her a strawberry. Even though Arielle didn’t force it. She also said yes to Lucas to bring only Frostberry but the man had to look for strawberries from the rchants on the ship.
Arielle frowned seeing the knight who was with Lucas earlier still standing at the door. Feeling caught for paying too much attention, the man bowed in salute then closed Arielle’s bedroom door again.
Arielle didn’t suspect anything. Her focus had been diverted by the strawberries in front of her. Arielle imdiately tasted the fruit she wanted since this morning.
"Hmm...." the sweet and sour taste makes Arielle shudder because it’s so delicious.
Finally... now that her mouth was no longer bitter with nausea, she could taste a more pleasant taste. Arielle finished so of the strawberries brought by Lucas at once. After that, she also didn’t forget to taste the Frostberry fruit that had been provided as well.
Frostberry fruit is full of sweetness. The sweetness is much sweeter than strawberry. The fruit liquid lted inside her mouth like honey. Arielle enjoyed her ti tasting the fruits. The fruits were gone in an instant.
After feeling better, Arielle realized that she had missed lunch as well as dinner. Her stomach is only filled with fruit. If she continues to be like this with nausea, she will fall ill.
And Ronan would definitely bla Lucas as well as William. Scolding them for not taking good care of Arielle. Arielle shook her head. She didn’t want that to happen. she will eat after this. After calming her stomach after being filled with fruit.
Arielle spent the rest of the night talking to Ronan using their mate bond.
The uncomfortable condition in Arielle’s body continued for two days in a row. The storm they t also did not subside, making Arielle unable to get out of her room for two days in a row.
Arielle feels like she had a responsibility to take care of her own body to stay healthy. So, even though she constantly felt nauseous, Arielle forced herself to eat. Apart from that, for the last two days, Arielle has felt a very strong craving.
Like last night, when she managed to sleep, in the middle of the night Arielle suddenly woke up. Her mouth suddenly wanted pumpkin soup. Then after the pumpkin soup Lucas made, Arielle suddenly wanted a bowl of chicken soup too. But after Arielle ate it all, it didn’t take long for her to vomit again.
Arielle felt her body was very strange at this ti. There were tis when she felt very weak and a little later, she felt very excited. Full of energy. Apart from that, Arielle also misses her husband even more now.
Even though she was used to being left by Ronan for up to a week. But this ti the desire to hug the man was very great. Arielle often refrained from whining asking Ronan to approach her when they were talking using telepathy.
She didn’t understand her body right now. It was just so random.
