Emlyn didn't see Mars all day after lunch. He said he would co back right after he t the king to discuss the royal affairs. However, until dinner ti, he still didn't show up.
"Roshan, has His Highness returned?" Emlyn asked for the nth ti that night. The woman paced in the dining room and pouted. She was not used to not having Mars around during dinner.
They already established a routine and she loved their routine. Being cooped up indoors most of the ti bored her to death.
She could only bear the boredom by keeping herself occupied with her sewing, or talking to their baby, and waited for him to co back.
She always looked forward to lunchti and dinner because then she could see him and talked to him about whatever. It was really pleasant.
And they always did that almost without fail for the past three months. Today, was the only ti that he was missing from their dining room, and Emlyn felt really upset.
She didn't know not seeing him during dinner just this once could make her feel so distraught.
"Gosh.. what's wrong with ? Before I ca here, I traveled alone and I ate alone and everything was fine," she scolded herself. "Why am I being so depended and spoiled? He must be really busy that he couldn't co ho for dinner."
"But.. but... if he was really busy, he could have sent soone to let know. I hate waiting.." she muttered to herself. "Didn't he know I hate waiting???"
"Wait.. what if sothing bad happened to him? What if he was injured... or..." She quickly waved and called Roshan to co. "Can you please send soone to the royal palace and check if the crown prince was injured or hurt?"
Roshan who had been observing the princess pacing and talking to herself tried to hold back his cough and bowed down. "Will do, Your Highness."
He imdiately left the dining room and went out to see the head of the castle guards. He notified him of Emlyn's request to send a soldier to check on the prince.
Both n were jealous to see Emlyn was anxious just because the prince had not returned for dinner. They could see how much she cared about him.
Actually, they thought it was nothing strange for the prince to co ho late. He might stay behind to take care of so royal matters or the king might need him to do sothing.
Before Emlyn was around, the crown prince was never ho anyway. He would always be busy with his army on the field or do stuff in the royal palace. He would be ho late at night.
They only noticed that he always returned during lunchti and dinner in the past three months. So, it was likely that he only did it for her.
However, it was only natural if he beca busy and couldn't always co ho for dinner, right?
But apparently, the princess didn't think so. She insisted to find out what happened to him.
"Jero already sent a soldier to check on His Highness to the royal palace," Roshan ca back with his report. "It's quite late now, Your Highness. Maybe you should start eating dinner? His Highness will be distraught if he finds out that you didn't eat just because you are waiting for him."
Emlyn glanced at the dishes on the table and her tears started dripping. She hated eating alone. So, why did he do this to her?
"Please, Your Highness... Think about the little one. You are eating for two now." Roshan tried to coax the woman with a gentle voice.
Emlyn finally relented. She knew the butler was right. She must not be selfish. So, she finally sat down and started taking so food to her plate.
Emlyn didn't understand what happened to her. Why on earth did she cry over such trivial matter?
She was sure Mars must have sothing urgent to do, so he couldn't co ho on ti as usual.
She shouldn't have cried, right?
Yet, she couldn't help it. Her tears kept streaming down her cheeks as she took a bit of at and chew it. Roshan who stood in the corner and observed her could only massage his temple.
He suspected that the lady was having a breakdown because of her pregnancy hormones. She looked so pitiful, crying and eating at the sa ti.
"This is your dicine, Your Highness." He ca over with a bowl of potion from Mr. Vitas after he saw Emlyn finished her al. "Please don't forget to take the potion."
Emlyn pursed her lips, but she took it anyway. Once she finished the potion. She rose from her seat and checked the door.
"Any news from the soldier?" She asked Roshan. The butler quickly ca to her and bowed down again.
"Yes, the soldier returned just now. He said the prince is coming ho soon."
"So, he is okay?" Emlyn asked again.
"Yes, Your Highness. The prince is okay. He just needed to do sothing urgently," Roshan explained.
"Why didn't he say anything to ?" Emlyn stomped her feet. "He could have sent soone!"
Gosh! She felt so upset and angry.
This turned her mind into a ss. She hated the feeling. She didn't want to be angry at him, but she was.
"He could have sent soone so I wouldn't need to wait for him," she muttered, sounding so disappointed.
"The soldier said the prince is coming ho soon. So, I think you just need to wait a bit more, Your Highness," said Roshan with respect.
Emlyn shook her head. The disappointnt was written all over her face.
"No, I will not wait for him any longer. I will sleep now," she said.
The princess walked gracefully toward her chamber and closed the door behind her.
Roshan could only let out a long sigh.
"Oh, Your Highness, please co back soon. The princess is feeling really sad..." he muttered to himself like saying a prayer.
