After the Henderson siblings left the dining hall, the feast continued as usual. I was not able to eat after hurling out some of the food I have just eaten, and so Ragnar and I excused ourselves early. "This is a good time to visit the seashore." Ragnar said while escorting me in the hallway. "Is that all right?" I asked. "We have just excused ourselves because I was not feeling too well." "They cannot question our actions." Ragnar gave me a wink and smiled. "This is a privilege only us monarchs have." He said playfully. I giggled with his remark.It is somewhat disrespectful to excuse yourself from the host because of feeling unwell and then they see you up and about some place at the same time. But as Ragnar has said, as monarchs, they will not question our intentions. "Then please lead the way." I said with a smile. Ragnar displayed a wide grin. "Come, follow me." Ragnar said and pulled me gently. Ragnar led the way in the duke’s estate. He led me to a path from the steep cli
[Ragnar’s POV] Isabella and I got back to our room swiftly with Avatar’s help. I carried my wife in my arms rather carefully and laid her down on the bed. I was worried of the pain she had just experienced. "How are you feeling, my love?" I asked in a worried tone. "I am fine, my love." Isabella replied with a smile. "Maybe, it was just a passing pain." "We cannot let such a thing pass by." I said. "What if it was something serious?" "Oh, Erik. You worry too much." Isabella giggled. "I am not feeling any pain right now, believe me." I sighed seeing her bright mood. But remembering her painful expression on the seashore a while ago made me tense and I cannot just calm down. *knock knock* "Your majesty, it is me." Maggie’s voice was heard outside the door. "I have come with Ivy." "Please, enter." I replied in haste. The door opened and Maggie came in with Ivy following from behind. I also saw Philip standing by the door. "I am sorry that I called you out from the fe
[Ragnar’s POV] Juccilia took slow steps towards me, looking at my reaction. When she saw that I was not saying anything, maybe she took it as a sign that she can come near me.But the truth is that I do not wish to utter even one word to her. I looked at her full of disgusts. Her every action was clearly seducing, her every move made me sick "Y-Your majesty." Juccilia was now just a step away from me. When she took another step closer, I took two steps backwards, clearly showing my disgust. "What are do you think you are doing, lady Henderson?" I said with a cold tone. Juccilia kept throwing such seductive gazes at me, as if ignoring my clear rejection of her. "Your majesty, do you not see me as pretty?" Juccilia tried to make seductive poses in front of me. "I am willing to be his majesties concubine. I am ready to give myself to you right here and now." "How shameless of you." I scolded her. "I am giving you the benefit of a doubt just because your father is a good host to us,
"Y-Your majesty..." Duke Henderson ran towards where I was standing and kneeled before me. "Please forgive my daughter’s foolishness." He bowed his head low until his forehead touched the floor.I looked down at him coldly. "As I have said, what she did to a monarch of Avalon kingdom is punishable by death." I saw the duke’s body trembled with my words. "But because you have been such a kind host by far, I will spare her life." "Thank you... thank you, your majesty." Duke Henderson’s voice was shivering, but his tone sounded as if he was relieved. "But I cannot just let this slide without any punishment." I said with a cold tone. "Y-Your majesty..." Duke Henderson raised his head to look at me with sorrowful eyes. "I-If so, then I am prepared to put her in house arrest, as long as you see fit your majesty." I looked at the middle-aged man who was begging for leniency. House arrest is the most lenient punishment I can give to his daughter, but with my experience with foolish girls
[Isabella’s POV]It has been a while since I finished taking a warm bath. Maggie tucked me in bed nicely while Ivy was by my side checking my condition. "Well, all looks good." Ivy said. "You just need rest. Why don’t you retire to bed early?" "I have been sleeping all afternoon." I said while pouting my lips. "I am not yet sleepy you know." I grumbled. "Hahaha." Ivy laughed out loud. "Such a cute little feisty but pregnant woman you are. If your husband were here, he would surely say yes to all of your demands." She said while wiping a tear that came out of her eyes because of her laughing. "Your majesty, you are pregnant now." Maggie said with a tone of an older sister. "Your body needs ample rest. It is for you and the baby’s wellbeing." I sighed in defeat. "I understand." I frowned. "Well it is not that you cannot stay up Isabella. You can sleep when you feel tired. Believe me, being pregnant can make you feel tired even if you did not do anything." Ivy said. "By the way, ho
I finish eating the candies. There was still half left and Ragnar just put it aside in case I became hungry in the middle of the night. I was very satisfied with what I ate and was in a good mood. 'Maybe what they said about pregnant women having mood swings is true.' I thought. 'I can easily become upset and irritated and happy.' "Here, drink your honey water." Ragnar passed me the glass of honey water. "Thank you." I replied and started to sip from the glass carefully.It was just the right temperature and the mixture of honey was to my taste. I drank half of the glass when I gave back the glass to my husband. "You know, I was thinking..." I said while stretching my body. "What were you thinking?" Ragnar said while putting the glass on the table. "You are the king of Avalon. You should be the one who is being pampered." I said while tilting my head sideward. "As your wife, I should be the one taking care of you."Ragnar started to take off his clothes and started to put on his
Ahhh..." I moaned in between kisses. Ragnar’s every touch made my body tingle with pleasure. "More... I want more..." The passion made me want even more. "Then let me satisfy you tonight, my love." Ragnar whispered sensually into my ear and that made my body yearn for his touch.Ragnar’s wet lips started to trail over my chin and towards my neck. I can feel his tongue licking my skin at he goes. His mouth took its time at the neck, sucking and licking so gently. Ragnar’s gentle touches made my skin hot and ticklish. The small fire that was burning deep within me started to rage. My desires started to overflow with my husband’s soft and careful actions. "Ahhmm..." I soft moan escaped my lips. His careful gestures were not enough, and I was left with wanting more. "Erik..." I whispered his name seductively. "Yes, my love?" Ragnar replied with his lips still on my neck. His hot breath tickled my skin and sent shivers all over my body." "I want more... hmmm." I said while savoring my
I woke up the next day and realized that the sun was high up in the sky. Judging by the sun's height, it was nearing mid day already. I rubbed my tired eyes and looked around, searching for none other than my husband. "Erik?" I called in a low tone.Looking at the big and empty room, I realized that he was already up for sure. "I cannot believe I would wake up this late in the morning." I held my head with my palm, feeling a slight headache. "This is why I never want to wake up so late. For sure my head will throb the whole day." I told myself. The doors suddenly opened and the person I was looking for a while ago after waking up, was standing in the door way holding a tray of food. "You are awake." Ragnar said with a sweet smile. "I brought you your breakfast thinking that it will take a while before you wake up. Good thing you are awake. You can eat while the food is hot." He put the bed tray on the bed. I saw the food I usually eat for breakfast, bacon, eggs and a slice of bre
