(From Blue's Perspective)
"Wake up, sweetheart, and drink this dicine."
"My butt hurts...," I mumbled.
"... It must be because you were sitting on top of the table... That position surely was not comfortable for you."
"Dem...?"
"What? You didn't even notice it was ?"
"Ah, I thought..."
Usually, it was Ruby who woke up these days. So, I did not expect it to be him. I had completely forgotten that he had told that he would wake up when he would co back.
"What's this dicine?" I asked, taking a little Chianti-shaped glass bottle from him.
"The doctor checked you up when you were sleeping. He said everything is alright, but you will feel better if you take this dicine."
The mont I opened the lid, a dicine-type odor spread throughout the room. "Ehh, the sll is not the best..."
"Not the best? It's the worst sll ever," he grumbled. "Are you sure you can drink that? Or should I tell the doctor to change it or sothing?"
"No, it's fine. I will manage," I mumbled.
I closed my eyes and pressed my nose with one hand as I quickly drank the whole thing in one go. The taste was terrible as well.
"Yuck!"
"You did well," he said as he took the bottle for and patted my head. "I don't even need to taste it to know how bad its taste is. But you really did amazing."
"You are talking as if I have accomplished sothing great," I muttered.
He chuckled and hugged . His hand around my waist shook a bit. Even though he was trying not to show it, it was clear that he had got a big scare. He pulled back after a while and cupped my face in his palms.
"Baby, will you tell everything that happened today? I want to hear every single thing," he said.
So, he had not found the person who fed an aphrodisiac yet.
"I went to practice this morning when you woke up. Then I practiced for three hours and a few minutes more I guess. Then I ca back and bathed. Sapphire is sick. So, I wanted to take her to Doctor Bernard."
"You went to Doctor Bernard today?"
"Hmm... Ruby wanted to take her there, but I said I will do it."
"Why do you have to do it? Your maids are there for a reason."
"But Sapphire might get scared, so I thought... It's not wrong, right?"
"... It's not wrong, I just... It's nothing. Continue."
"Then I heard that Ava was crying because she wanted to et ."
"Yes, she ca to and asked to et you. But I told her no and said that you were sick. Then she said sothing which I did not understand since her words are not that clear."
"Her words are clearer than kids her age. Anyway, hearing that, I decided to go et Ava. I thought she might be too sad. If I knew, I would have t her earlier. After going to her room, I found out that she refused breakfast as well."
"She did that? Well, isn't it too extre?"
"She is just a kid! I spent so ti with her, made her have her breakfast, and then went to Doctor Bernard. She went with as well."
"When did you co back?"
"What are you planning to do about the pregnancy thing? I an, we have done it. I can get pregnant... I can't even take the dicine."
"Answer first."
"If I want to answer you, you need to tell this first," I said.
"... Why?"
"Please tell ."
"Ha, alright," he sighed. "Doctor Dimitri made a dicine exclusively for you. I have told him a long ti ago. He had been working on that this whole ti. He thinks it will work without doing any harm to you. But we are not sure.
So, awakening your power is very important. It perhaps will be very hard to find soone who can awaken your power completely. So, I am planning on talking to Luc so he can bring the duke of Ataraxia here so he can at least awaken just a bit of your power so you can take pregnancy preventing pills."
"Have you talked to Luc?"
"No, I will after a while," he said.
"You don't have to."
"You went to Luc after eting with Doctor Bernard?"
"Uh-huh," I gave a nod. "I said the sa thing you said just now."
"Why would you do that? Because you were desperate?"
"... I was..."
"..."
I looked down on my lap, blushing furiously. "It's the truth," I mumbled. "I missed you so much, I did not want to spend my days without touching my own husband. It was suffocating."
"You actually did this because the full moon is near, didn't you?" he asked.
"It's the main reason. But I wanted to do it with you as well," I said. "I don't know if I am being indecent or sothing, but I truly wanted to... feel you."
He fisted his hands and gave a peck on the lips. His body was stiff as if he was controlling himself.
"If we can have your power awakened a bit, I will make sure to satisfy you fully. I can't keep my wife hungry for anything, can I?"
"... Even if my power is not awakened, you will spend the full moon night with without being stubborn," I said.
"We will talk about it later."
"Dem..."
"Later. Let's focus on the present for now."
He was avoiding it again. I did not want to tell him that Luc and I planned to awaken my power. But Dem wanted to talk to Luc about the sa thing as well. If he went to Luc, he would find out about what Luc and I were planning. I thought it was better to tell him myself about it rather than him finding out about it by reading Luc's mind since Luc would not tell him about our plan.
"What did you do after talking to Luc?" he asked.
"I ca back and sent Ava to her room, then went to take a shower. After that, it was lunchti. I had lunch with Mother."
"What happened during lunch?"
"We ate and talked a bit. I could not eat much. So, she asked if the food was not okay. I lied that my throat hurt."
"So, that's why you said that... I knew that your throat was not hurting, so I was surprised when Mother told this."
"Mother? You went to et Mother?"
"Tell what else happened first."
"Well, after that, she suggested that I should have so tea. But I refused, saying that I have tea twice a day only. Then she told that so warm honey water will be good for my throat. I had to have so warm honey water since she was telling so much. Then, I decided to see if you have co back. I an, I wanted to see you a lil bit...
The beta was coming out of your study. He told that you were inside after I asked him and said that... you were in a foul mood," I said. "I thought it would be best not to visit you then since most people did not like other people near him when they were angry. I wanted to give you so ti. But I heard a loud noise all of a sudden.
I thought you were hurt, so I quickly went in. Then I saw you like that..."
"I was a bit angry," he muttered.
"Why?"
"I will tell you this after you finish."
"Okay then... Well, you know what happened next. I bandaged your hand, at least, tried to. And you suddenly... did that..."
"Kissed you?"
"Hmm..."
"Then you started feeling weird?"
"Yeah. I was surprised. I was fine even just a while ago. But after I went into your room, I started feeling like my body was heating up. I did not think anything of it. I an, I thought it was just a fever.
But then, it started getting worse."
"Do you rember what I said that ti?"
"About the banned aphrodisiac? Yeah, I do," I said. "It is hazardous to one's health. It is only intended for females, and the effect will wear off when her mate ejaculates inside her. It sounds funny, but dangerous."
"That's because it is," he said firmly. "It's just sothing that should never have been made. That's why I banned it. But soone got it sohow and mixed it in your drink."
"In my drink? You an the honey water?"
"Yes," he nodded. "I questioned the maid who gave your drink to the maids who served you lunch."
"Didn't the cook make it?"
"He did. But there was water on the floor and he tripped and fell, hurting his leg badly. That maid ca forward and offered to make the honey water instead of him."
