(From Blue's Perspective)
"Did he get embarrassed?" I asked.
"Not really. He doesn't care," she replied.
I did not think Luc was the type to not care if soone saw him shirtless. Dem was the type who did not care, but I thought Luc was different.
"I don't know how he remained so calm. I an, if soone of the opposite gender saw naked, I would get really embarrassed," she said. "I get embarrassed even in front of won."
"Hm, too... I got used to being naked in front of you though," I said. Ruby had been helping take a bath and putting dresses on all the ti. So, I did not feel ashad to be naked in front of her anymore. But it was different with Dem. We made love a lot of tis and he had seen naked all those tis as well.
But I still got shy whenever I was naked in front of him.
"I think I will get used to it after getting married," she mumbled. "Your Highness has been married to His Highness for almost half a year now. I bet Your Highness got used to it."
"... I haven't..."
"No offense, but Your Highness and His Highness do it a lot, more than usual couples... Then how...?"
"I don't know... I still am shy when I am with him... Anyway, let's not talk about it anymore," I said. "Have I got any letter from the duchess? I have sent her a letter..."
"Ah, I forgot to get the letters from Reece this morning. I am sorry, Your Highness. My mind must have been elsewhere."
"It's alright. I will see them myself," I said.
After the bath, I went to my office and checked the letters first. Iris had indeed sent a letter.
Dear Blue,
Hope you are well. Well, we are sending each other letters every day, so let's skip the greetings part.
I think it will be a good idea to visit you in the Imperial Palace. I have never been there, so I am a bit nervous. But you are going to be there, so it will be okay. I won't lie- I still have a hard ti behaving like a duchess. I an, I have lived all my life like a normal person, not a noble even though I am a noble. So, this title all of a sudden is still unfamiliar to .
The duke is helping of course, but he doesn't understand how hard it is for to adjust to this since it is easy for him.
Like I said yesterday that today will be a good day, and you also agreed, I am sending a letter to remind you again that I am coming today. I think I will be there by three. Do not wait up and have your lunch. I will co after lunch as well.
See you then. I am really excited!
Yours,
Iris
"I am excited too," I grinned.
"What are you excited about?" Dem asked.
"Ack, when did you co in?"
"Just a minute ago. I ca to see if you are doing alright," he said.
"I am fine," I said. "Iris is coming today, by three."
"Is that why you are excited?"
"Hmm..."
"Sorry to spoil your fun, but I have to tell you sothing regarding Berry," he said.
"Ah, right... What did Luc and Evan say?"
"She was killed using normal thods, not magic. Her body parts have been separated using a blade while she was still alive..."
"Oh my god!"
"No magic has been used to kill her, but to preserve her body parts only. What I an is, that the ice cube had been created using magic and that's why it was not lting. Making ice is very easy magic. It's one of the first ones that a mage learns. The size of the ice cube was massive, but a normal mage can make that.
We are sure that it's a dark mage as the letter said it and you and that bastard saw black strings of the black mana. Luc suspects it's a not-so-powerful dark mage or a dark mage whose power has not been awakened fully, just like you."
"But... if it's my father, how is he so less powerful? First of all, I have too much black mana inside . It's obvious that my father is very powerful. Secondly, we also got the proof of his power through his actions, especially when he contracted out of thin air. It takes a lot of power to do that.
Besides, that letter... He wrote it using a very difficult language. Evan said he is definitely a powerful dark mage. Then why would he suddenly be less powerful?"
"His plan is to get you and for that, he should be showing off his power to scare you. But he is not. I think it's not him who used his power. I an, he is obviously behind this plan, but soone else froze her body parts up. Your father is either not using his power on purpose for so reason, or he cannot use his power for so reason. That's why he made soone else do it.
Didn't you say you have a twin brother that you saw in your dream? It might be your twin brother who used his power. Twins have a connection between them. Perhaps because of that, his power is not awakened either. I am not sure, because you guys are not normal twins. You both have parents who are not of the sa race."
"It can be soone other than my brother too, right?"
"Yes, it can be. But we don't know anything for sure," he said.
"Hmm... One after another, we are just falling more into the pit...," I sighed and slumped on the chair.
He walked over to my chair and kissed my cheek. He stood behind and started massaging my shoulders.
"I can't even tell you not to worry. You got to be careful now. Don't fall into their traps. They will try to lure you to et them, but you must not fall in their hands," he said. "I will try to be with you as much as possible and at least, have soone trustworthy and powerful around you. Luc is the best choice for this.
Though I don't want to admit it, King Ford is a good choice as well since he can protect you. But I am not leaving my wife with another man, especially him. Luc is a man too, but he will never think that way about you. You are his friend only, just like I am his friend. He thinks of us the sa way and it's a good thing. Usually, n fall for you just after spending so ti with you.
You are just so adorable after all. But I hate it when they fall for you and want you. You are mine only."
I chuckled. "That's alright. I think it would be a good idea not to get too close to Evan. He is the type who can be my friend, but I still would not take it that far. First of all, he is our rival politically. It's better to keep a distance.
Besides, you won't like it if he becos my friend, right? I don't want to make you anxious. I will do what is okay with both of us. If sothing is not okay with you, I will try not to do it. You always do the sa after all."
"That's good."
"Before he leaves, I need to talk to him about the rebels and Lacuna. Rember, I wanted to send him a letter regarding this matter? I think it will be good to talk to him face to face about it. When will you be free? We can talk to him together," I said. I did not want to et up with Evan alone since it can trigger Dem's insecurities.
My husband always ca first, after all.
"I am sorry, I won't be ho today. He said he will be leaving tomorrow morning. And I need to go out just after a while. I know why you are saying this, but you can talk to him in front of Luc. That will be okay. Don't worry, I will be fine," he said.

"Is it really important?"
"Yes, I have to. There are so things I need to take care of personally because I can't trust many people. How can I when I can read their minds and know all of their thoughts?"
He massaged my shoulders for so ti more. My shoulders were a bit stiff, so it felt good. Besides, he had very strong and big hands. They surely made the massage feel amazing.
"I will co back late at night. Or I would like to give you a full body massage," he whispered into my ear. "But not to worry. I will just give you a full body massage in the morning. I have to make my wife feel good after all."
