(From Blue's Perspective)
"I see... Thank you for everything."
"Hmm... If you want to thank , thank in another way."
"Not now," I mumbled, looking away.
He grabbed my arm and pulled towards him. "Why not?"
"No. We did it a lot of tis even this morning," I said. "I won't do it again until nightti."
"How disappointing...! But what can I do if my wife says no?"
"I will go to my office and work. Let's join for lunch."
"That said, Evelyn invited us for lunch."
"Oh? I was thinking of inviting her these days," I muttered. "What did you say?"
"I said I will talk to you about it and then send her a reply."
"Then tell her that we are coming. It's been quite a long ti since we last t."
"If you want to."
'It's alright even if you are doing it for . I just want you to spend so ti with other mbers of your family too, at least, your sister and her family. They are not bad people. They are your family, after all. We must not abandon or push away family mbers when they have done nothing wrong.'
"Well then, give her the reply. I will go to my office now," I said.
Just when I turned to leave, he suddenly slapped my butt. "Ow! Dem!"
"That place is quite jiggly," he smirked.
"Ugh! Pervert!"
"I have just recharged myself. You see, I need to recharge myself every now and then since I tend to get tired."
'I will pinch your butt, I swear! Pervert!'
"I am going!" I said loudly and walked away.
"Be careful," he said from behind, laughing loudly.
I returned to my office and sat down. He was just too perverted. He had been doing it quite a lot of tis whenever he got the chance. I managed to catch his hand a few tis, but it was not enough. He was just too fast and unpredictable. It would take a long while of praciticing to be able to stop him.
"This guy... He keeps doing things like that..."
"What did His Highness do, Your Highness?"
"Perita! When did you co?"
"Well, I was following you since the mont you got out of His Highness's study," she replied. "That said, what is Your Highness angry about? Even your face is red."
"Nothing... It's just... soone is too... dangerous..."
"What does it an?"
"Nothing, forget it," I said, shaking my hand impatiently.
Perita was a bit innocent when it ca to matters like this. She would not understand if not told in detail. Sotis it was a good thing judging the fact that I had a perverted husband who liked to tease whenever he could. It was better if Perita did not understand.
When I started working, ti flew by very quickly. It was tiring, but I also felt great thinking that I could help Dem a lot more now. I did not have to feel useless anymore.
"Let's go, Your Highness. It's ti for lunch. You will get sick if you don't eat properly," Perita said.
"I have an invitation from Evelyn. Dem and I will go now anyway," I said, standing up and stretching my back. "Perita, can you carry ? I don't want to walk."
"Sure," she said and started picking up.
"Kidding! I was just kidding!"
She did not listen to and truly picked up and even started walking. "Ack! Put down! I was kidding! Perita!"
"Haha, what is going on?" Flint laughed as soon as he saw . He was going back to his office with so bottles in his hands. He had a hard ti holding onto all of them but sohow did not drop any.
"Perita is not putting down!"
"Your Highness is very tiny. It's kinda funny to watch. So, I am not helping," Flint said, laughing like crazy as if mocking .
She finally put down when Dem showed up. "Her Highness said she doesn't want to walk, so I carried her," Perita said innocently.
"You can't walk?" Dem asked.
If she did not say it, Dem would have gotten angry, saying why she carried for no reason. Now, I regretted joking with Perita.
"I think Her Highness is tired," Perita said.
"You could have said so," Dem said and took in his arms. It was getting embarrassing to be carried by two people in a single day. Besides, what would others say?
"Look, His Highness is carrying Her Highness!"
"I even saw Knight Perita carrying Her Highness. Her Highness is so thin that it is not hard to carry her. Besides, I think Her Highness deserves to be spoiled."
"His Highness and Her Highness look as cute as usual. They look so gorgeous together!"
'Never mind. They are enjoying it...'
"That Perita...! And you are believing her too... Are you going to carry all the way there?"
"Yes," he nodded.
"Dem..."
"What?"
"Put down."
"Nope. Keep quiet and be a good girl. Or I will kiss you right now. Everyone will see."
I did not say anything else since it would be embarrassing if he kissed right there. There were knights and gardeners.
Everyone except Evelyn was surprised to see Dem carrying all the way to Evelyn's side palace. She greeted by hugging while Ava jumped on when she saw .
"Why do kids keep jumping on you?" Dem muttered.
"Well, isn't it because she looks very innocent and friendly?" Evelyn said. "That said, how have you been, Detrius?"
"I'm good, as you can see."
"I have been well too," she said.
"I did not ask."
"I don't care. I wanted to say it," she laughed.
"rrick," I said and he bowed slightly. "It's been a long ti since I have t all of you."
"It has been," he said. "Thank you for accepting the invitation."
"We are also glad that you invited us," I smiled.
"Do you know, Blue, that I am accepted to the academy?" Ava said, grabbing my face with her palms. It seed my body gained strength since I could carry her easily now.
"Yes, I heard that. Congratulations! You have been busy with studies these days, so I did not co in person lest I should disturb you. I only sent letters," I said.
"Yes, I know. Uncle has sent one too, but Blue's ones are cuter," she grinned.
It was who pressed Dem to write a letter to her wishing her all the best for the exam. It was a new academy for kids kind of like a kindergarten. Evelyn sent a letter saying that Ava did not want to travel with them anymore and wanted to stay here. But it would be hard to look after her when there would be no guardian. She did not want to be her guardian since it would affect my work.
Even though I said it would not, she insisted. That was when I brought up the idea of publishing an academy for kids. It would be nothing serious, but at least, they would be taught various subjects while they could also have fun and make friends.
It was not hard to get people on this matter and more than enough people thought it was a good idea. I had a lot of personal land and one of them could easily be used for the academy.
Dem did not care about these matters and agreed to whatever I said. The land for the academy was huge and there were a few palaces ready to be used as the academy. The palaces were left vacant for five months. It was actually Dem who built those palaces for so we could go on a vacation there. Now it ca to use even though we could not go on a vacation. It was fine.
There were a lot more places for us to visit.
There was an exam to be admitted to the academy as well. It was not a hard exam, just basic knowledge that a normal kid should know. Anyone could study at the academy if they passed the test. There would be a lot of kids since the exam was quite easy.
Ava was very excited about it. It would be great if Athena could go there as well. But judging her physical and ntal condition, it was not possible.
