The sound of Aric's bodyguard approaching the room. A sign that something is happening and waiting for the presence of Prince Aric.
Ai and Allard stared at the bodyguard for a moment and then turned towards Aric. The man is seen taking a deep breath and saying goodbye to Axton.
" i hope the Duke can open his eyes immediately" Aric said slowly and turned around and walked towards the bedroom door. The man nodded as he passed the Duchess and Allard.
" prince" said the bodyguard as Aric exited the room.
Aric walked towards the living room while Ai and her uncle walked slowly behind him.
" thank you for the visit of the prince this morning" Ai said as a form of sympathy. He clearly knows how devastated Aric feels with his rejection of the Queen's letter. Especially when Aric looked at her husband who was still unconscious. The man was very fragile and needed a backrest.
" let me know if anything happens to the Duke" Aric said before he boarded the train to the palace.
" uncle I think the Prince believes in you so much" Allard said as the royal carriage was gone.
" he doesn't have anyone else for him to trust anymore" Ai replied flatly. Then go to Axton's room. The woman tidied up for a moment the condition of the room and cleaned up some dust.
After that he took a bucket of water to clean Axton's body.

the bucket fell making the water in it spill everywhere. A loud sound rang out as the bucket was made of iron.
" a..Axton?!" lirih Ai couldn't believe it. Her husband's eyelids opened, the dark bead staring at her.
" Dalbert, aunt's uncle!" yelled Ai so that the others could make sure that he was not hallucinating.
" are you conscious?" Ai approached the bed and sat on the edge. Axton looked at himself blankly. Ai did not know what the man was thinking, Axton just kept quiet with his flat face.
" thank God, you wake up Axton" Ai smiled and hugged her husband happily.
" jeez, Duke. You're sober, thank goodness" Dalbert was happy. She looked at Ai who was still hugging her husband in a lying position.
" Lt.."
" The Duke" uncle and aunt were made shocked when they saw Axton staring at them. The man is awake and this is very good news.
Ai got up and hugged Dalbert so happy. Allard approached the bed, intending to greet Axton.
" Duke, are you okay?" asked Allard, while the others watched beside the bed.
" what's going on? why are you all here?" axton asked making everything silent and silent for a moment.
" you go out first, let Ai explain everything" said Ai who was all nod.
A few moments later, there were only 2 people in the room. Ai and Axton.
" you were hit by a blow, and were unconscious for a few days" Ai replied quietly and sat on the edge. Not to forget he took Axton's hand for him to hold tightly.
Axton still doesn't remember the last thing that left him sprawled here for days.
" what month is it?" tanya Axton made Ai's forehead wrinkle.
" December" Ai replied quickly.
Axton tried to remember.he held his head that felt a little dizzy.
" December?" reset Axton.
" don't be forced, just slow down" said Ai saw the difficulties Axton. Axton looked at old Ai, this woman wasn't just married, but why it felt so longing.
" help me sit down" said Axton.
" yes" Ai changed the position of the pillow and blanket to be more comfortable when sitting.
