(From Blue's Perspective)
"By the way, the wedding is getting closer. I will need more information about married life from you and Detrius, though I still doubt he will be able to help," Luc said.
"He can help you with so things that I can't help you with. I can help Ruby mostly because I am a woman and I know more about won," I said.
"I want to know too. I am not married. It's better to know, right?" Evan said.
"Are you planning on getting married?" I asked.
"If I say yes, will you find a bride from Querencia?"
"If you want to, I don't mind," I said.
"Nah, I am not planning to get married any ti soon. I think I will marry when I am old, but still able to make an heir," he said.
"Why does this sound so gross?" Luc grumbled.
"In that case, you will die soon and leave your child behind when they are not ready," I pointed out.
"So, what do you suggest? Have a child right now?"
"Well, I am not in a position to suggest you anything about this matter since it's your personal life," I said. "But I don't want that for . I plan on having a kid after a few years. At that ti, neither Dem nor I will be old and it will be a perfect age. If nothing wrong happens, we can be there for our child."
"You are so young, only eighteen, right? It's better if you wait," he said. "But I wonder if the King also wants the sa... It's odd, isn't it? I sotis wonder if the King wants a kid in his lifeti or not."
Luc glanced sideways at once and then looked at Evan. He was also perhaps wondering the sa thing as because both of us knew what kind of person Dem was.
"How did you get this kind of idea?" I asked. "There is no way Dem would not want a kid. Besides, it's not always about what he wants. We are going to discuss everything and then proceed with sothing since it's both of our life. And more importantly, we need an heir who will be the next ruler."
"That's true," he said. "But I think my confusion won't go away just like that."
"Then keep being confused, King Ford," Luc said since there was only Perita other than us in the room. "What His Highness, King Detrius wants is his decision only. It's better not to get involved."
The lunch involved our little talk. I told Luc about married life as much as I could. I could not tell him much from my experience because Luc and Ruby were not like us. Dem and my married life were different in many ways. So, I could not tell him exactly what kind of married life I was experiencing. But in the end, I was happy- that was what I was sure of.
After lunch, I worked for a bit when a guard told that the duchess requested a eting. I told him to take her to the garden and I would be there in a mont.
I made my way to the garden quickly after taking care of the ergency docunts. I found Sapphire on my bed when Ruby forced to co with her so she could fix my hair a bit. Sapphire did not want to stay in the room anymore and kind of forced to take her with .
"All of you keep forcing ," I mumbled.
"I did not force you, Your Highness," Perita said.
"You force to take swordsmanship lessons," I said.
"That's for your own good. And besides, Your Highness doesn't want to take your lessons so days. Your Highness usually takes your lessons enthusiastically. Thanks to your regular practice, you completed the second phase. The third phase is harder than the second one. So, it's better not to take a day off."
"Yes, yes, I will rember that," I said.
"Blue!" Iris exclaid loudly as soon as she saw and ran towards . And in a mont, I found myself in a hug. "I missed you so much!"
She pulled back and looked up and down at . "Wow! You look so cute! You are small and this style suits you... The frock looks good, especially because it's blue in color. You look good in blue since your eyes are of the sa color.
The pigtail style looks so cute on you...!"
"You look lovely too, Iris," I chuckled.
"But you look cute! It's amazing!" she almost scread.
"Calm down," I said. "It's not like I wear frocks all the ti. It's for the ti I stay inside and I won't et anyone officially. Frocks are more comfortable than gowns and the gowns I have to wear are very heavy. I won't have to et up with anyone else other than you, so I wore this."
"What did His Majesty say? Did he not complint? Didn't he call you cute? I am sure he has gone crazy by now!"
"Sit down, at least," I chuckled. "Dem has gone out. He will co back late tonight."
"Tsk, not fun..."
"He has seen like this before."
"What did His Highness do then?"
"Um, when did he see like this for the first ti...?" I mumbled, thinking. "Ah, I rember... He had been out for three days and then when he ca back, he went straight to my office and stood there. That's the ti when he saw like that."
"Did you make out in the office?"
"N-No... Of course not! We went to have lunch."
"After that?" she asked, grinning as she raised her eyebrow.
"... Really? Stop it..."
"Our Blue is the shy type, it seems," she grinned. "I can already guess sothing..."
"Jeez, your thoughts are really dirty," I said. "Purify your mind. Dirty thoughts, begone!"
"Pfft, they are important!" she laughed. "I think I was born with a dirty mind. I started swearing at people when I was five. I learned them from a book, hidden under the bed of our house. It was my mother's. She was just as shaless as I am now, at least, with words and her mind was dirty as well."
"What kind of backstory is this?"
"Right? It's weird!"
Spending ti with Iris was fun. I could laugh freely after a long ti. Though I was happy with Dem, there were tis when I wished I had a friend with whom I could talk freely, joke and laugh a lot. Iris filled that spot and I truly felt happy.
"Wow, the macarons are tasty! I love them!"
"Our cook is amazing. I can send you so if you want to."
"Yeah, do so. I love 'em... That said, who is that man over there?"
"What man?"
"That man...," he said and pointed towards Evan who was sitting in the balcony of his room. I had no idea it was visible from here.
"That's a friend of ours," I said. "He will leave tonight. He was here to help with an investigation."
"Really? Is he part of the investigation departnt?"
"No, he is a mage," I said. "He helped Luc."
"He is noble, isn't he?"
"He is. His family background is supposed to be kept a secret. It's part of our agreent. But we know about it since we needed to verify. Please don't mind."
"Yes, sure," she nodded. "A secret is supposed to be kept a secret. I don't mind. You told enough."
"He is reading a book," she said. "Wow, he is good-looking. I am surprised that he could be your friend?"
"What do you an? Soone good-looking can't be my friend? But you are my friend, and so is Luc," I said.
"No, no, I don't an that," she shook her head. "I an, he is a guy and a good-looking one. His Majesty seems to be the jealous type and the type to say that 'You are mine. No one can touch you, or even look at you like I do'."
'She is right...'
"I don't know if I am right, but I think I am. No, I am sure I am. I can read n well, good-looking n, I an," she said. "So, you being friends with a good-looking guy sounds very strange. I am sure His Majesty minds, but doesn't tell you in case you get sad."
'He tells . No, he gets very violent and suddenly starts to kiss or sothing.'
"Lord Luc's case is different. The duke told that Lord Luc is His Majesty's childhood friend. So, he beca your friend as well after you got married to His Majesty. His Majesty won't mind because he knows what kind of person Lord Luc is. And ? I am a woman and I prefer n in case of romantic relationships.
Besides, I am married. His Majesty won't get worried if you hang out with . See? That's my point!"
