(From Blue's Perspective)
When I woke up, it was past lunchti. I was not even in my right mind after waking up. And the mont what happened last night ca to my mind, I felt even more embarrassed.
It was true that it did not hurt anymore. Moreover, it was too good to be true. I had been weird. Peculiar sounds were leaving my mouth and if I recalled correctly, I even asked for more. How embarrassing!
He was too strong. I had a feeling that he would not even bother to stop if it was not for . We had to keep going on until sunrise. After that, I did not even rember when I fell asleep or perhaps I had lost my consciousness.
My limbs hurt as if they were smashed by a big machine. It was too difficult to even sit. At this rate, I could not even think of standing.
"You're awake, my wife."
I almost scread hearing his voice. I did not notice anything after waking up; rather I was more focused on trying to rember all of the embarrassing things I had done last night.
Now that I looked at him, he was dressed properly. It seed like he had so work done while I was sleeping like a log.
"When did you wake up?" I asked.
"I had woken up late today- at 8," he replied.
'Eight in the morning is late... Are you kidding ? We literally slept after 5.'
"What ti is it then?"
"Three. It's past lunchti," he said. "You weren't waking up. The maids got worried and called . So I've co to see if you're alright."
"Oh, sorry for worrying you."
"Do your limbs hurt?"
I was sure that I had beco all red already. I looked down on my lap, so I would not have to et his eyes.
"They're just... sore," I replied.
"Don't worry, it will be gone soon," he said. "Now you better freshen up. We will have our lunch."
"You didn't have your lunch?" I asked in surprise.
"No."
"Don't tell you didn't have lunch because..."
"Go and freshen up quickly, my wife. You don't want your husband to starve, do you?" he said, cutting off.
"Right," I said and tried to get out of the bed, wrapping the blanket around .
He caught quickly as I almost fell. "Careful. I'll send the maids. Don't move, okay?"
And just like that, he left. A smile curved on my lips. Perhaps everything was not a bad thing. But the best thing that I found was that he was truly waiting for . How could soone be like that? How could he wait for for seven years?
I wanted to know more about when he first saw or why he chose . But he told that I did not need to ask him that. When the ti would co, he was going to tell that himself.
"Ruby!" I exclaid loudly the mont I saw Ruby entering along with other maids. By the look on her face, it did not seem like Detrius hurt her. Rather she seed happier than the tis I saw her before.
"Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!" she said, bowing.
"Thank ? What are you saying? Because of , you had to go to the dungeon. I'm truly sorry," I said quickly.
"No, Your Highness. Because of you, His Highness did not punish . He forgave for my grave mistake and also made your personal maid," she said, sniffling.
Detrius made her my personal maid? But why? The way he behaved last night, it seed like he hated Ruby and did not want her to do anything with . But then why did he make her my personal maid? It was not like I was not happy. But I could not ease my mind.
I needed to ask him about it.
"Anyway, Your Highness, Arianell has prepared your bath. Should we head there? And today, Your Highness needs to wear a dress that covers your neck," she said.
Hearing her words, I looked down to see what she ant. My goodness! What the hell did he do to my skin? Were those the things that people called hickeys?
It was so embarrassing that I did not even know how to look at the maids. They had known what we did, but I did not want them to see marks of it.
"You look so red, Your Highness. Do you by any chance have a fever?" Ruby asked anxiously.
"No, I'm fine. Let's just head to the bath now. Detrius must be waiting," I said.
During the bath, all I did was close my eyes and hear their blabbering about my skin and how good the king was to . Everything was embarrassing, so the best thing I ca up with was to keep my mouth and eyes shut and pretend not to exist.
"His Highness calls Her Highness with such sweetness that's even greater than peach," Arianell said.
"Yes, and did you see the way he was yelling at the tailor for not bringing the cape?" Ruby said.
"What did he do?" I asked, not being able to let this one slide. Did he truly yell at the tailor for that reason? But when did he even order a cape for ?
"His Highness had ordered a cape with black lace and the one the tailor brought had black lace too but the lace was not dark enough," Ruby explained. "That's why His Highness has been in a bad mood in the morning."
No matter how I looked at Detrius's behavior, he was kind of childish and immature in so ways. Even though it was a bit cute sotis, it was not a good thing. I needed to talk to him.
After taking the bath, the maids dressed up in a very comfortable and casual dress. It was a shift dress. Though I liked how comfortable and light it was, the maids were not happy with it.
"Your Highness, don't you think it's too short?" Arianell asked.
"Don't judge His Highness's taste. His Highness chose this for Her Highness," Ruby said.
Detrius chose this for ? When I told him that the dresses here were heavy and it was hard to move in them, he had told that he would get sothing comfortable. So he truly did it for .
"But if others saw Her Highness in this dress..."
"If they try to say sothing bad, I'm sure His Highness will do sothing about it," Ruby said.
They put my hair in a high bun which was not too tight nor too loose. I had three maids before, but for so reason, I did not see the other one again. And as Ruby said, Arianell and she were my two personal maids from now on.
"This dress suits you, my wife. Is it comfortable?" Detrius asked the mont he entered the room.
The servants were preparing a small table in our room. The room was big enough for it. Truth be told, the room was twice the size of the room I was in.
"Yes, it's comfortable. Thank you for being considerate," I said. I could not look him in the eyes. Because whenever I looked at him, I would rember last night.
"My wife, aren't you being too formal with your husband?"
"Am I?"
"It hurts my feelings."
"Sorry, I was just... Never mind. Let's eat now. You must be hungry," I said.
"You're hungrier than I am, my wife. You haven't had your breakfast and besides, your body needs so nutrition as well after a tireso night," he said.
Ruby was shaking with laughter as she placed the dishes on the table though she did not make any sound. Arianell was bright red like a radish. And as for , I almost had a heart attack and if there was a way to die out of embarrassnt, I would have been dead by now then.
"Please enjoy your als, Your Highness."
Ruby and Arianell left after serving everything. We sat face to face at the table though there was no point in doing so as I could not et his eyes.
"What is it, my wife? Is the food not to your taste?" he asked as if he had no idea what was going on.
I sighed. "It's not that. But the problem is you can't tease in front of everyone. It makes uncomfortable."
"So you an teasing you while we're alone is okay?"
"That's... Can't you just stop teasing ?"
"Not a choice."
"You're being childish, Detrius," I said. "Anyway, only if we're alone, you can behave like that. But not always."
"As my wife wishes," he said with a smile. "Well, my wife, tomorrow, shall we go on a date?"
"On a date?"
"Won't you like it?"
"Of course I will. But where?"
"That's a secret, my lovely wife," he smirked. "Just be ready at ten. And by the way, the marks on your skin look good on you."
