(From Blue's Perspective)
"You are leaving tomorrow…?"
"Yes, you knew it too. Why are you crying?" Dem asked softly, wiping my tears.
I was just too sad that he had to leave for two months. I had been trying to control my emotions so he would not think his wife was too weak emotionally. But my plan failed and I ended up letting everything out in front of him tonight.
"Are you leaving in the morning?" I asked, sobbing.
"Yeah, that's the plan," he said. "Honey, if you cry this way…"
"… I am not that sad…"
"Yes?"
"Actually, I am," I said, crying harder, hugging him. "I will miss you so much. I don't want to cry like this, but… I will miss you too much…"
"I know, darling, I know," he said, hugging even tighter. "I will miss you too. It hurts to leave you. But what can we do? As a King, I just have to do it. Please don't cry, my love, even if it is hard.
It makes feel very bad."
He looked like he was in pain. I could understand him. I was in pain as well. It was not like we were going to be parted for years, yet it felt very painful.
We did not have sex that night, rather just hugged each other to sleep. It felt like we were closer this way. I cried the whole night. Dem comforted a lot and told to send him letters using the bird of death. Dem would send letters frequently as well.
"Don't cheat on . Just because I have forgiven you once…"
"That was in your dream, honey! I would never do sothing so disgusting!"
"Hmm… Just saying," I mumbled before I fell asleep when it was almost morning. "I love you…"
"I love you too, my dear."
I clearly felt him kissing on the forehead. But I could open my eyes. When I woke up in the morning at seven, I thought Dem was gone already. I wanted to say him goodbye and told him to wake up before leaving. But he did not listen to .
I heard loud chattering outside. It was unusual for knights to gather here and chatter. So, Dem had not left yet?
I jumped down from the bed quickly and ran to the balcony. I was right. They had not left yet. They were preparing to leave.
I still had the chance to say goodbye.
I held my breath and raced out of the door. The maids were surprised as they had never seen run this way. But I could not wait. I had to see him, one last ti as we would not be able to et each other for two months.
"Your Highness!"
"Be careful, Your Highness!"
The maids warned on the way. Sotis, it seed they were truly worried about although Dem said not to trust them completely.
The knights opened the front door when they saw . They were not even the least bit surprised to see wearing my nightgown as I sotis even took walks in the garden in my nightgown because I was too tired to change into sothing else. But they did not forget to tell to be careful.
"Dem!" I called after him as he was about to mount his horse. He was surprised. Perhaps I ca running so fast and suddenly that he did not have the ti to get my sll beforehand.
Before he could process everything, I ran into his arms and hugged him. "… I thought you left."
"So suddenly… You have woken up this early today?"
"I told you to wake up, but you didn't," I grumbled as he cupped my face.
"Don't be angry. You cried all night. I did not want you to have a headache in the morning," he said, kissing on the forehead. "You are still pouting. So cute…"
"Hmph, I am still sad…"
"Don't be, honey. It's not like I am going to war. Anyone will think so if they see you crying."
"I am not crying."
"So, it's the precum of your heart?"
"Oh my god, don't talk like that!"
I regretted telling him about this joke.
He chuckled. "Don't cry anymore, darling. I will co back within two months, right? If you cry, it will make very sad. Let's part with a smile, hmm?"
I could not tell him that I had been having a bad feeling all this ti. I always felt like sothing would go wrong before he would co back.
"Alright, I won't cry anymore," I said, taking a deep breath. "Just promise you will be careful and you won't get hurt."
"I promise," he said, entwining our little fingers. "And you promise to be right here when I co back."
"Of course. Where will I go?" I shrugged.
'It's not like I have anywhere else to go. The Imperial Palace is my only ho in this world, after all. Besides, why would I leave you?'
"Just saying…"
"Don't cheat on ," I warned.
"Don't start it again," he sighed. "It pisses off so much… Please, honey…"
"Alright… Haa, I really will miss you so much. Anyway, I won't hold you back anymore. I just wanted to say goodbye," I said. "I love you."
"I love you too," he said and kissed on the lips in front of everyone. Well, we were already quite intimate in front of them, so this did not matter.
I thought it would be a light kiss. But Dem took it too far and started ravishing my lips. I tried to push him away, but who could push away soone so strong?
His lips left mine only after he was completely satisfied, leaving both of our lips red and swollen.
"Dem! Are you crazy…?" I whispered.
"Goodbye then. Love you, my beautiful wife," he smirked.
"Hmph, I don't love you," I said. After a while, I added, "Just kidding. I love you too."
I waved him goodbye as he rode away slowly along with the other knights. The knights waved back too which was very adorable. I clearly saw Dem asking them why they were waving too. It was easy to understand what he was saying just by seeing the way he moves his lips.
"Are you done saying goodbye?"
I was not even surprised to hear Luc's voice out of nowhere. He had the habit to appear suddenly when he was not needed at all.
"I woke up early today for so reason, so thought of coming here," he added. "It's a good thing that guy is away for a while now. I can have peace now."
I glared at him. "Oh… You are crying? Why are you crying?" he asked, shocked. "Did I make you cry? I am sorry. I was just kidding."
"Two months… It's a long ti," I sobbed. "I already miss him."
"You really miss him that much already?" he sighed and patted on the back. "There, there. I was just joking."
"Hmm…"
"Co to the magic tower whenever you feel like it. The three of us can hang out," he said. "Two months will pass by in no ti."
"We can also go to Mom and Dad's residence. They always tell us to go there," he added as I remained silent. "Last night, Ruby said we all should go there together. It will be fun."
"Okay…"
"Will you co to the magic tower now? Ruby is awake. We can hang out," he asked.
"No…," I shook my head. "I have work. I will co tomorrow."
"You can just skip work."
"I am not like you."
"I hate work… Anyway, co whenever you feel like it. Tomorrow is okay too," he said. "You don't have to send us a word beforehand like you usually do. We are very close, so that's not needed. Just appear out of nowhere. We won't mind."
"Haha, you don't mind it because you do it all the ti?" I laughed, wiping my tears.
"Right?" he chuckled. "Cheer up now. Don't just keep crying just because Detrius has gone for two months. It's not like we are not here. If you act this way, it will make us feel useless."
"I'm sorry. I won't," I said. "I will go to work now. I will co tomorrow, so make sure you two keep your schedule empty."
"Alright," he nodded. "Bring cookies, okay?"
"Sure thing."
"And Ruby will prepare tea. Red velvet cookies go well with the special tea she makes."
"Ruby's tea is surely special, but I don't dip red velvet cookies into tea. I only dip sugar cookies."
"You are so weird. Who doesn't do it?" he mumbled.
"It's just my choice, geez," I said. "Anyway, I will go now. Rember to keep your schedule empty tomorrow, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah."
