I Became Crown Prince's Wife
What seems to change does not change (8)
Even if his health was poor, he was still Marquis Westin.
If it was a chronic illness, he would have known about it a long time ago, and if it was some kind of injury, like a fracture, then they had a doctor or a special priest who could handle it.
It's nonsense to think that he wouldn't bother calling a priest or a doctor and saying that he would do the treatment to prepare for the wedding.
Tomorrow is Ron's wedding day.
This caused an uproar throughout the nobles. Not only the Emperor, but also many nobles will attend the wedding.
Of course, Blake and I were also present.
There were still people who would attend Richard's wedding despite the bad public opinion he had gained thanks to the fake Crown Princess incident.
Even if Marquis Westin was seriously ill, and Lady Westin was in a hurry to get married because of her father, Richard would oppose him, saying it was impossible tomorrow.
That day was very important for Richard if he wanted to restore his good reputation.
There was no reason to set a date tomorrow and risk losing his reputation thanks to not many guests coming because they instead attended Ron's wedding.
I'm sure something weird came in.
I was still deep in thought when Jayden suddenly asked me, "Your Majesty, are you agitated?"
“T-no.”
I shook my head.
In the end, Jayden became my bodyguard.
Seeing the chaotic atmosphere among the knights, Edon handled the situation and appointed Jayden as my bodyguard. Of course, I agree.
“By the way, are you okay?”
"What do you mean?"
“You must have joined the Imperial Knights because you wanted to escort the Crown Prince, but you were assigned to be my bodyguard instead.”
“No, I'm very flattered. I'm fine, but it's just that, sometimes, I feel like there's someone who doesn't let go of his gaze on my back.”.
"Huh?"
“No, nothing.”
Jayden didn't say it clearly so I couldn't catch what he said at the end.
"Hey, Jayden."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
“...how is Diana doing while I'm away?”
Diana simply said she was fine and no one else told me about her honestly.
I wonder how this kid really is.
I thought Jayden would tell me honestly.
“He is brave and hardworking. She never gives up and is kind to her friends.”
I was a little relieved to hear Jayden's reply. I'm glad that Diana didn't seem to spend too much time being sad.
“Diana is very confident and she has the ability to lead people naturally so everyone loves her. She is very popular among women.”
"He's not popular with men?"
"I don't know. But I like that."
I looked at him in wonder.
Did he admit that he liked Diana?
I did ask her that question to catch a glimpse of her thoughts about Diana, but I don't think she will answer this directly.
"Do you like Diana?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Jayden replied monotonously. Did he say he liked it as a friend?
Maybe so consider his tone of voice.
“I was very happy when His Majesty returned. I see how much Diana misses you. As soon as I heard that you came back, I called Diana without your permission".
"But you didn't tell him before, did you?"
Jayden didn't tell Diana when Ser showed up pretending to be me.
“To be honest, I was suspicious of him before. His Majesty's reaction was too cold. I don't want to disappoint Diana with uncertain information.”
When other people talk about me being dead, Jayden will call them to it.
Maybe he did it for Diana.
“But when you came back, I thought this time was really real. I forgot that I can't tell anyone without your permission and tell Diana. I'm sorry."
“No, thank you, I can see Diana early.”
“I'm also happy because she's happy.”
Jayden smiled wider. Was just thinking about Diana enough to make her smile?
It's none of my business, so I don't think I should just assume. But at this point, I'm sure.
"Jayden, are you a coincidence ..."
"Yes?"
“What do you think of Diana...?”
“She's my best friend.”
He did not beat around the bush and answered quickly.
"Well…"
A comrade.
Actually, I think he has other feelings towards her, but I can't say anything if he just calls it friendship. Diana also said that they were just friends.
“Ancia.”
When I entered the Amoria Palace, I saw Blake waiting for me.
"Why are you out in the cold?"
“I miss my wife.”
He took my hand with a big smile.
"But what are you talking about so seriously?"
“I asked about Diana. Mr. Jayden is friends with Diana.”
"I understand. I'll be happy to hear it with you next time.”
Blake smiled brightly and held Jayden's hand. At that moment, Jayden's face turned pale.
What the hell's going on? Is he nervous?
"I-I'll go."
Jayden lowered his head and quickly turned around as if he was running away.
"Did you happen to do something to Sir Jayden?"
Blake shook his head as I asked him that.
"No, of course not. I'm a good man.”
“Come go to the greenhouse. I want to show you something.”
"okay."
I went to the greenhouse with him. Then, a white rose blooming on one side of the greenhouse caught my attention.
I planted a seed with Blake yesterday, and it grew in a day.
"Are you doing this?"
"Yes, I practiced what you taught me yesterday."
I taught Blake the magic of growing crops yesterday.
However, he mastered the magic so perfectly that it bloomed in just one day.
"Looky! Not even a witch could learn this fast!”
“This is all thanks to you being a good teacher.”
“No, this is your natural talent! What genius!”
“Eh..
Blake's face flushed with just a few compliments.
It's funny to see him looking down a bit and turning around…
“You have trouble practicing, huh?”
He must be tired from training alone. I would ask her to take a break today, but she took note of my thoughts and answered quickly.
“No, I can still learn today.”
“Do not overdo it. You do not need to rush.”
"It's not like that. I just love studying with my wife.”
Blake smiled and looked me in the eye. I touched her silver hair slowly.
I didn't want to push myself too hard, so I decided to review what he learned yesterday with him.
He made strawberries appear on trees that had been planted not too long ago using mana.
I plucked a strawberry and put it in his mouth.
Her mouth was bloated as she ate strawberries and the sight reminded me of our childhood.
He's very funny. He still had a young face that did not change with age.
"How does it feel?"
“Stroberimu is sweet and tasty, but mine is a bit tasteless.”
“It had nothing to do with it. The only miracle is growing strawberries. This magic is used to plant plants that initially grow slowly in a short time. ”
"okay."
“You have to work hard. In addition to watering it, you also need to control Mana.”
I held Blake's hand and let the mana flow.
“What is tingly?”
"Little."
“This is how you ship mana to the whole plant.”
“Ya, I'll try.”
Blake injects mana into freshly grown strawberries. He was always serious when studying magic.
Strawberries begin to grow in size. The leaves, which were slightly smaller than a moment ago, became green and full of vitality.
Sweat drops formed on Blake's forehead as he focused his entire mind on mana. I wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.
His shoulders shook as I did that. Is she embarrassed?
She was very surprised, so I rubbed her earlobes playfully.
This time, Blake showed an indifferent response, but I saw her ears getting redder.
At night, he acted like a beast, so it was funny to see him embarrassed by such a slow touch.
Suddenly, as if she had been triggered, Blake could no longer bear it when I rubbed her earlobe and turned her head around.
“I-my wife?!”
He shouted with a red face.
“My husband's ears are so beautiful.”
“A-If you touch it like that..!”
It's ridiculous to see him stammering in shame…
But before I could say anything, Blake muttered in a small voice.
"I'm ashamed…"
Gasped…!
I can't stand seeing Blush on her face because she's so cute. Blake is the funniest in the entire continent.
Eventually, I lost control and hugged her tightly.
“I-my wife..!”
Blake was embarrassed. I really leaned on him and he supported me so I wouldn't fall to the ground.
“My husband is so funny!”
"really?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"And?"
"Fuck!"
“.... still far yes?”
He sighed.
"Huh?"
“No, nothing.”
Blake shook his head. He took a strawberry and put it in my mouth.
"How's that?"
"Lezat."
"really?"
"Yes." Yeah."
He picked another strawberry and tried it himself.
"It's still less than yours."
The strawberries I made were still much sweeter. Still, it was an incredible development compared to the beginning.
“This is the second time. It's been good.”
I comforted the pouting Blake. But I don't mean for manners. He really has a natural talent for it.
