00140. Un couple aimant beni par le ciel et la terre (Blessed lovers of heaven and earth)
Autumn again greeted Robelia Empire. The greeting was marked by the beginning of changing colors of maple leaves that grew in various corners of the empire. Beautiful flowers that grow throughout the spring also began to leave the glory period. Almost most of the imperial land that was once covered with fresh green shades, now covered by other colors that are no less refreshing to the eye, such as bright yellow, orange, yellowish red, to orange.
This year's autumn is no less beautiful than last year's spring or autumn. Plus the Astoria Empire was welcoming a new light rise in their empire. In the second week of autumn this year, the new light-raising event in the empire was very lively. People who initially knew nothing, were told through information printed through leaflets.
In the leaflets attached to the walls it was conveyed that the Grand Queen Dowager who had power and became one of the important political figures, just raised a young man of blue bloodline descent outside of Robelia's empire as part of the Kwang family. Although impressed suddenly, the decision of the Grand Empress Dowager cannot be disputed by anyone, because the Emperor Astoria himself agreed to the decision.
In a short time, the name of their new prince skyrocketed in various walks of life. Not many recognize his appearance, but from the testimony of some people who had met directly with the owner of the noble name Kwang Sun was known as an extraordinarily charming young man. Carrying a calm, educated, and have a noble character, increasingly makes his image soaring rapidly. The informants who used to sell additional information to the public also came to work, peddling the information they got briefly.
That morning the curiosity of the people was answered by the presence of their new prince, Prince Kwang Min who had completed the traditional ceremony for his appointment to be part of the imperial family.
When the familiar figure rode the black horse out of the palace gate— was ready to be introduced to the people— accompanied by other members of the imperial family including Emperor Astoria, not a few of the Eve who were charmed by her good looks and noble aura that seemed to have become blood and flesh. However, they could only roar without possessing, because after the entourage of men rode, it was the turn of the royal palanquin troupe that was lifted by the few male servants who passed by them.
Usually royal palanquins are made with patterns and materials that are distinguished based on the status of someone who rides them. What broke the Eve's heart was the fact that one of the palanquins behind the cavalry brought the wife of their new prince. The lucky woman the prince had before getting the surname Kwang.
“Be careful when grounded.”
The attention is shown through the words and actions of reaching out, so that the beautiful woman who wants to get out of the stretcher does not experience unwanted events.
“I'm fine.”
The soft voice flowed along with a reciprocating hand. After that, a beautiful woman with traditional Astoria clothes nuanced white with a mixture of dark blue that looks harmonious with the feel of men's clothes in front of her.
“This is your first time riding a stretcher carried by four humans. It's only right if your husband feels so anxious.”
The sentence that was thrown with the aim of teasing and insinuating the couple who were now standing side by side came from another gallant man who had just joined. “I still didn't expect to see you two. How ... how can you be married on the same day as the title of Prince Kwang Min?” he continued with disbelief that was still plastered in his beautiful face.
“Ssymbolic ceremony only, Cesare. Don't overdo it.” Another more mature man came and corrected. “Technically they have not officially become husband-wife.”
“Iya. But for the people here, they have officially become husband and wife.”
Regret is still reflected in the beautiful face of the owner of the name Cesare de Pexley. The young Duke still seems to be in disbelief, if on the day of the appointment of his future sister-in-law as Prince Kwang Min of the Astoria Empire will be carried out in conjunction with a symbolic marriage with their beloved sister.
Emperor Kwang Sun's grandmother said that the purpose of the symbolic marriage was to protect Kayena who had been rumored as the Emperor's woman. If they were married off—even symbolically—then Kayena would be spared from the negative public opinion. However, Kayena was rumored to be the future Empress of the Astoria Empire, because she settled in Yeowang-ui bang.
“Quickly we must return to Edinburgh, then the real wedding must be held soon.”
The eldest of the three brothers seemed to have no objection to his sister's suggestion. He added instead, “we do have to go back to Edinburgh soon. This morning the informant from Robelia has arrived. Apparently King Tyrant of Robelia is also preparing for marriage.”
Suddenly the name of her ex-husband was carried around, the beautiful woman standing next to her lover looked transfixed. Not long after, the warmth he could feel was getting stronger between the links of their hands. He also turned to the side, towards the lover who looked soothing through the look of his shady eyes. The beautiful man must have realized what he was feeling.
“You all right?”
The beautiful woman who was two-bodied shook her head gently. “I'm just guessing. That ugly duckling must be feeling happy, because soon the ideals are achieved.”
His lover fell silent. Seemed to have no option to send a reply. Meanwhile, Cesare also chose the same decision. Only Khayansar took a different action by opening the sound. Replying to the words of his beloved sister.
“Unfortunately, it is not that ugly duckling that will be married,” he said. Successfully made both his sister and his sister-in-law candidates confused. “King Robelia opens the selection of a candidate for escort, not a direct vote. There were many noble families who presented their daughters as potential companions of the king. One of them is the Duke d’Oclean family who proposed the name of their only daughter, Lady Cyrene Asterya d’Oclean.”
“Cyrene?” Kayena looked surprised at the information her brother brought. “No, no. Cyrene must have been forced by her power-hungry father. There's only one man Cyrene wants to be a husband.”
Now it was the turn of the three men around Kayena who were confused. Before one of them adds.
“Even the name of Dowager Duchess Caecilia was also rumored to be one of the candidates for the companion of King brengs*k it.”
“Caecilia?” Kayena was again surprised. “Duke Charles is dead?”
Since her rebirth, Kayena has focused on changing herself to pursue the goal of changing her unfortunate fate. Who would have thought if he missed a lot of important information, maybe one of them about his close friend, Caecilia who has now become the Dowager Duchess Caecilia. Caecilia has been widowed. Duke Charles has died. Leaving Caecilia in a foreign land with dual responsibilities; being a household head and in charge of raising her late husband's children.
Since getting married and leaving Robelia, their relationship has been quite tenuous. Kayena was busy with her duties as a queen, while Caecilia was also busy dedicating her life as the wife of a Duke who had 3 children. While Cyrene, Kayena still often exchanged messages. Since Cyrene is unmarried and still living in Robelia, she decides to help build her family's mining business empire.
“No, Cesare. Dowager Duchess Caecilia will not be one of King Robelia's would-be escorts,” Khayansar denies out of the blue. “His arrival to Robelia because she wants to meet Kayena.”
Cesare hunchback. He never thought if the information he got was more detailed than him. They get information from the same person. In the end he could only shake his head.
“Thank God if Cyrene and Caecilia are not included in the man's long-term plan,” Kayena said in a soft tone of voice. One of his hands involuntarily stroked his still flat stomach.
Deep down, Kayena did not expect that her ex-husband would make the quick decision to find a replacement. That means what Killian said the other day had no point. Whether in his previous life or his current life, Kaizen is both brengs*k and bajing*n. That man never loved her. Perhaps, it was just an obsession that Kaizen had.
The evidence? Evidently. After Kayena disappeared from her grasp, Katarina no longer became an attractive opium. Kaizen still has to find another Kayena who can be presented in the form of a Lady from another noble family who is hungry for power. As soon as Kaizen made the decision to get a new companion, proving that Kayena was only considered a doll and a child-printing machine. As for Katarina, her fate was not much different. King Robelia may have simply regarded Catherine as a puppet to vent her lust.
Again, Kayena believed in one thing; killian's remark about the man who loved her the most until the man who lost her the most was Kaizen, seemed to be unproven.
“What's up? you seem to think of a lot of things?”
The gentle touch of the long and stocky fingers on the temple, made the young pregnant beautiful woman regain her consciousness. When he turned his head, he immediately found the handsome face of the sharp eagle bead owner who was staring at him.
“I was just thinking ..” Kayena was confused to continue. Suddenly his tongue was muddled, not knowing what was really bothering him.
“Don't think too much about unimportant things,” said his interlocutor while dropping a kiss on the forehead. “Thinking things is sometimes very tiring. Pregnant women like you should not be exhausted.”
Hearing her lover's worries— might have been arguably her husband during their stay in Astoria—the reply Kayena gave was a loose smile on the lips.
“I was just thinking about unimportant things. Not anymore.”
“Good. Better now you rest. Today must be very tiring for you.” Along with the sliding of the sentence, the handsome man stroked the surface of his lover's stomach—his wife—from the outer surface covered by a thin evening gown. Without having to put in much effort, he could easily feel the soft texture of the skin that still looked slender under the sweep of his fingers.
“Tonight you will sleep with whom?”
Being asked this question all of a sudden, the owner of the name Prince Kwang Min seemed silent for a moment. This night can be called their bridal night. That is, the bridal night of their symbolic wedding. Simultaneously, Kayena also no longer lives in Yeowang-ui bang. He was placed in one of the pavilions given to his lover after patenting the name of Prince Kwang Min. They are allowed to sleep and even live together, because in their eyes Kayena and Kaezar are officially married.
“The first brother asked me to come to his room. There are a few things we should discuss before travelling to Edinburgh.”
Kayena's innocent pretty face from the makeup sweep seemed to be smiling thinly. His loose smile he immediately reduced, along with the lover's answer. Then a nod of the head was also given as approval.
“Then, hurry up and go to brother. I'll also be resting soon.”
Seeing her beautiful woman who was ready to sleep with her simple evening dress, plus a significant change in facial expression even though it happened naturally, made Kaezar also published a thin smile.
“The first brother can wait,” said Kaezar suddenly. He who had changed his traditional clothes with black cloth pants and a buttoned white top made of soft cloth, now took a lying position.
Although Kayena took a sideways lying position, she could feel someone had just joined her on the bed that was directly stored on the wooden floor.
“Do not get angry,” Kaezar said in a soft voice. His hands also worked to turn his lover's body so they could face him. “You will always be in my main interest.”
The young pregnant woman according to when her body was brought to face the interlocutor. “I'm not angry,” protest. “After all I have used to sleep alone.”
“But not after we officially get married,” says Kaezar. “I won't let you sleep alone, unless I'm not in our house.”
“No drama split bed and so on?” Kayena suddenly asked. The question apparently made Kaezar smile faintly.
“No will.” Kaezar replied immediately. “Even if we are facing a commotion though, there will be no such thing as sleeping in separate beds. We'll sleep together in the same bed.”
Kayena was silent to hear it. Different experiences must be experienced by every couple after marriage. Having a different bedroom, became one of the commonplace things in the kingdom of Robelia. Similarly, Kayena experience during building a household with Kaizen. They have their own personal space and only share the bed on certain dates. However, apparently Kaezar has his own point of view when deciding to build a household with Kayena.
“Now sleep. It's night.” Kaezar whispered softly while making his own arm as Kayena's head pad. While the other hand is responsible for giving a soft touch in the abdomen. “I will always accompany your sleep in the future.”
“Good.” Kayena agreed directly. Both eyelids overgrown with lentic eyelashes appear to begin to close. “For the future you must accompany my sleep, Prince Kwang Min. Otherwise, I would definitely have trouble closing my eyes.”
The last sentence accompanied by a mild threat managed to make the owner of the name with a warm smile. “I will always accompany my wife's sleep. I promise.”
Kayena increasingly drowned her beautiful face in the chest of the field of the lover who issued a fresh aroma of citrus, musk, bergamot, orange blossom ginger, and green tea. Fragrances are made because they are inspired by the sea breeze, sunlight, and water that characterize the male fragrance. A pleasant aroma at the same time soothing.
“Approved promises, must be kept.”
“Sure,” replies Kaezar while dropping one warm kiss on his woman's forehead. “Now sleep, my wife. I'll accompany your sleep all night.”
