(From Blue's Perspective)
"Really, I am going to miss Blue a lot!" Iris said as she hugged .
This morning, we were leaving for the palace. I requested Dem that I wanted to spend two more days here in the duchy and he agreed. I wanted to spend so ti with Iris. Within just two days, we had gotten very close. Our personalities were different, but we sohow matched.
"It's alright. You can co to visit anyti. Just send a letter beforehand," I said, hugging her back.
"Then, is it alright if I send a letter within the next week?"
"Yes, I will let you know when I am free," I smiled.
Finally, we were able to left after Iris held back for a very long ti. It looked like she truly was not willing to let go.
"You have gotten quite close to the duchess," Dem said as the carriage started.
"Yes, she is amazing. I think we are going to get even closer in a few days," I smiled.
"Is that so? Then it's good, I guess."
"Yeah... It will be really good if she and I can beco very good friends," I said. "Iris was very frightened when she heard that I fell unconscious? You know, everyone knows that I get sick often. So, she thought that it was sothing serious. I reassured her, but she kept nagging .
I don't know why, but I feel like everyone around likes to nag about my health..."
"No way, that's not true," he muttered.
"Says soone who does this the most...," I mumbled.
"Well, you are very precious to . I think everyone finds you very precious the mont they see you. You have that kind of aura..."
"That's nonsense."
"It's not. You won't understand because you can't see yourself. But I know," he said.
"Anyway, let's not talk about it anymore. By the way, what are you going to do with the kids?"
"They are going to be imprisoned," he replied. "You freed them from the dark mage's hands, but they had not been controlled too much. So, they are still against us and think that it's our fault that they lost their families. It's hard to make them understand the truth. Just like you said, the beta and so other knights tried to tell them about it. Very few of them responded positively."
"I see... I feel bad for them. Kids don't deserve this kind of fate..."
"No one deserves it, especially not kids," he said.
Though Dem was the type to not care for others, he still had a very strong sense of protecting the kids' ntal health. When I told him why he should not let Calix, the 16 years old knight, go to wars, he seed to understand. He knew very clearly how important ntal health for kids was since he was abused ntally before.
"Yeah...," I mumbled.
"Do you want to sleep?"
"I can't..."
"I can lend you my arm. You won't hurt your head," he said.
"That's not it."
"Or you can just co and sit on my lap. I will hold you," he said with a serious face.
"... I just have my period. It's the first day and it's hurting a lot... Riding a carriage right now makes it worse..."
"Riding a horse would not have done any good either," he said.
"I know. That's why I told you that we should ride a carriage rather than a horse," I said.
"Does it hurt too much?"
"It doesn't hurt all the ti. It hurts from ti to ti all of a sudden."
"Should I rub your lower abdon?"
"Huh? No, it's alright..."
"No, it's not alright. Co here," he said and pulled towards him and made sit beside him.
He placed my head against his chest and pressed his palm on my lower abdon.
He started massaging the place using light pressure. It actually felt better and I could relax. The cramps did not go away completely, but they were a little less than before.
"Does it feel good?" he asked.
"Hmm, a lot better. Thank you," I said.
"I told you before too. You don't have to thank ," he said.
I chuckled. "Are all husbands like this?"
"Like what?"
"This caring..."
"Nope," he shook his head. "Just . I am the best husband."
"Iris also told that you are one of a kind. The duke is not like you. Work cos first for him. Iris told that she wished that the duke would care a bit more for her."
"I don't know if that's possible. That guy likes to work more than anyone else. I haven't seen soone like him before," he said.
If soone like Dem said this who worked almost all the ti, I could guess pretty well how much the duke worked.
"Don't give that look. I work a lot too, but it doesn't an I like to work. I hate working. I want to spend all my ti with you. I wanna cuddle... Work is sothing I have to do.
That's why I do it. But that guy is not like that. He works because he has to do and he works overti because he likes to do it."
"You want to cuddle?"
"That's the part you are interested in?"
"I an, that word sounded very cute when you said it."
"Don't start with 'cute' again. I hate it. It suits you only," he grumbled.
"But you are cute..."
"Sleep."
"Now?"
"Yes, sleep and clear your head. You are blubbering nonsense right now. I will wake you up when we reach the palace," he said and closed my eyes with his palm.
"I know you won't wake up. You will just carry to our bedroom and tell everyone not to disturb . You always do that."
He did not say anything. I was sure that he was going to do that again. "Hey, don't do that today. I need to get so work done. Reece surely had to do all the work. I need to start working as soon as we reach the palace."
"Reece? It's his job, that's why he is working."
"I an, I know. But it's not okay to take a break for no reason."
"Sleep."
"Wake up when we reach there, okay?"
"Just sleep."
"Rember to wake up."
"Sleep, honey."
When I woke up, the first thing I realized was that my husband did not wake up. I knew he was going to do it. That was the reason I told him again and again, yet he did it.
"Ugh! I told him to wake up!"
I quickly got down from the bed and ran to the restroom. I cleaned myself up quickly. He perhaps even put a nightgown on as well.
It was afternoon. If I did not have my lunch, it ant Dem did not have his lunch as well. Who was worrying who now?
"Your Highness, slow down. Why is Your Highness in such a hurry? You just woke up, so please slow down a bit," Ruby said.
"Ruby, it's been a while since I have seen you. Well, that's not the point now. Can you help get ready quickly? I need to go to work. Dem did not wake up even though I told him to..."
"Your Highness is on your period, so His Highness told that you should rest. He is right about it. Your Highness even has a period cramp."
'Just because of that? Am I the weird one to think that he is being strange?'
"I am fine. Just help get ready. Reece must have been working hard, huh?"
"Your Highness doesn't have to worry about my brother. Your Highness can make him work like a bull," she said.
"That's not a good thing to say..."
After Ruby helped get ready, I quickly went to my office. I found Sapphire there who jumped on the mont I entered the room.
"Aww, did you miss a lot? Sorry, I could not take you with ," I said as I kissed her. "Next ti, I will take you with , okay?"
I originally left Sapphire with Ava since Ava liked to play with her. But Sapphire stayed most of the ti under my bed and in my office, Ruby told .
I told Ruby to bring my lunch here and also send Dem's lunch to his office. I sent a note for him as well, or he would delay again.
For so reason, worrying about soone felt very good. It reminded that there was soone who loved and who I loved so much that he made so worried. It was sothing I could not even think of when I first ca into this world. I thought hell was waiting for , but instead of hell, I was welcod with a flower path.
