She clasped my face with her hands and gave a gentle kiss on my head. She greeted with a smile, Good morning, Troy. Wait. You are now King of the North, King Troy.
I rubbed my eyes. I virtually couldnt open my eyes due to my sleepiness and fatigue. Perhaps I didnt want to wake up at all. Sothing furry suddenly brushed my eyes and nose, inducing an urge to sneeze. I opened my eyes to see a red tail swaying back and forth in front of my face.
Under normal circumstances, Id be very willing to lay here with you for a while longer. However, today is your coronation ceremony, so you cant be late.
I turned my head to see Ling Yue supporting her face with her hand and scanning . Her long red hair was sprawled out on the bed, while her pure-white skin was underneath the blanket. Smiling, she said, You, honestly, havent changed. Its very tough for to see you as the ruler of the North.
Youre right. I indeed cant be considered the ruler of the North in front of you. Im your husband. I turned over to hug her.
Ling Yue giggled softly and pushed away: Stop ssing. You should get up now. There are lots of things to do today. Your coronation ceremony is today. Dont show such an exhausted gaze.
Ling Yue clasped my face, and then gave a kiss out of the blue. However, she moved her face away before I could react. She smiled: That kiss was for encouragent. Go on, my husband.
All right.
I touched her eyes then sat up and began to get dressed. She rolled onto her back and let out a soothing sigh. She watched from behind and asked, Did you really not find yourself another personal servant? Doesnt it feel strange to have to clean your own room when youre the King of the North? Lucia and Nier have their own rooms now, so you have to clean your own room. Doesnt it feel a little dreary to have to clean your own room up after coming back from work every night?
Its all right. I used to clean my own room in the past, not to ntion that we had higher requirents at the ti.
What are you talking about?
Nothing, dont worry.
I draped my coat on then wore on my dal by the side. The way we wore dals in this world was slightly different, but I could handle it. At first, I was befuddled without Luna; but nonetheless, I learnt to take care of myself. I could still sort out my life without a personal servant, Lucia or Nier.
In a serious tone, Ling Yue asked, So you really dont plan to find another personal servant?
No. Id be fine with you coming over to take care of , though.
I dont take care of people. Im a noble. Others should be taking care of and not the other way around. That still applies even though Im your wife. A wife is not a maid. Dont mix them up.
She rolled over and didnt bother with again. She lazily waved her hand: I wont send you off. I want to continue sleeping. I only arrived last night. Then, Nier and Lucia clung to for a while; therefore, Im very sleepy now. I brought over the food I prepared for you, so dont bother again.
Wait, Ling Yue. I have sothing to give you.
I picked up a box by the side. The box had been in my bedroom ever since I received it. I was always looking for an opportunity to give it to Ling Yue. To be precise, I was looked forward to returning it to her. Curious, Ling Yue turned over. She hesitated for a mont when she saw the wooden box in my hand. With a smile, she asked, What? Isnt this the box I sent you? The money was useful, right? Thats all of the jewellery my family has passed down. You fetched a good price for them, didnt you?
I didnt reply. Instead, I walked up to her and opened it. Curious, her ears twitched. She froze up when she looked inside the box: Whats this supposed to an?! You complaining that its too little?!
Ling Yue straightened up then looked up at with a grumpy look. Her tail gradually expanded. She misunderstood . She misunderstood that I kept them, as I considered it too little. I shook my head then sat down next to her. I picked up the head cloth she usually wore. and then gently stroked her hair. Finally, I helped her wear it on.
You
This head accessory is very becoming of you, Ling Yue.
I placed the accessory on Ling Yues chest. Sporting a smile, I explained, Ling Yue, youre a Princess Consort and a noble of the Moon Fox Tribe. How can you be without jewellery? To be honest with you, I was genuinely very sad to see that you didnt save anything. You should be a bright, charming and lively fox. Ling Yue, you need these things more than I do.
Ling Yues ears jolted a few tis. She hugged the box tightly and, in a soft voice, asked, Do you have enough money?
I replied, Mm, I do. Dont underestimate , Ling Yue. I have many thods. Isnt money the easiest thing to make in this world?
Yeah, yeah.
Ling Yue tapped my face several tis, but I noticed that, while she wore a reluctant look on her face, she wagged her tail joyously. Ling Yue was the sa as always; she couldnt hide her true thoughts. I pinched her face: Wake up and get dressed, Ling Yue. Youre a Princess Consort. How can you be missing from my coronation ceremony?
Oh? You plan to announce our relationship to the world?
I thought our relationship was public knowledge ages ago.
Ling Yue giggled. She sat up and grabbed her clothes. I knew she was reluctant to make an appearance at the ceremony, because she didnt have jewellery. Castell once said that how extravagant one presents themselves, represents their status in society. If a noble didnt have any jewellery, it would be far too embarrassing. Additionally, it wouldnt be just their reputation that was damaged but their entire tribes.
Ling Yue prioritised her tribes honour over all else. Naturally, she wouldnt let her tribes reputation be tarnished. At the sa ti, her pride wouldnt allow her to admit she didnt buy jewellery due to lack of money. However, I started to understand the gentle girls true feelings.
Onii-sama, are you awake, yet?
Ah.
Freya knocked on the door once I finished adjusting my cape. Freya ca in with a pile of docunts. She gave a smile: Congratulations, Onii-sama. Those nobles have agreed to our request. They will sell all of their resources to us, and keep just their resident and manor.
Thats great, but theres one more thing I want to know. Freya, what ans did you use to convince them? I rember they were unwilling to even loan us money, yet theyre now willing to hand their resources over to us?
Freya chuckled softly. She explained, Sotis, military force and money are equally important. As for how I managed to persuade them, I shall share that with you another ti, Your Majesty. Now you can wear on this crown without any concern, Your Majesty! The entire North is waiting for you to ascend the throne. Your dream and future is now close at hand!
