The Throne Of Valor
Edward's True Lover

The sun began to rise above the mountain ranges around the mainland of the Archangle Kingdom.

Edward opened his eyes and slowly walked towards Queen Aerin's room which last night was very fierce to him.

*tock

“Aerin ... You there?” call Edward from outside Queen Aerin's door.

Hearing Edward's call, Queen Aerin got up from her bed and opened the door for her husband.

“What's up?” the Queen asked Aerin with a cold gaze looking at Edward who looked messy.

“I'm sorry for yesterday.” Edward tried to smile with a chaotic condition.

Queen Aerin extended her hand to Edward's forehead.

“Your body is hot, you must be sick. Go inside.” Queen Aerin prepares a bed for Edward to rest in her room, as Queen Aerin will take care of her Edward until he recovers.

Edward was astonished to see his wife's calm demeanor.

Even when saying her body was hot, Queen Aerin still looked at her coldly.

“Lay here. I'll cook you some food. I won't let you step out of this castle in pain, okay?” queen Aerin asked after covering Edward in her bed.

*Hub-uhuk

The sound of Edward's cough signifying that Edward was really sick apart from his hot forehead.

Unlike Aerin who was always with him to the Dwarfhold, Aerin who was in the palace felt colder and cuey to him.

“Edward, do you understand?”

“Ya-”

*Hub-uhuk

Queen Aerin walks into her castle kitchen and starts cooking there.

The Elf chefs were so shocked that their feet trembled when they saw Queen Aerin herself cooking.

“Your Majesty the Queen, did the servant make a mistake until Her Majesty the Queen cooked by herself?” asked a head chef staring at Queen Aerin who was tasting his homemade porridge.

“No.”

“Ah then allow Her Majesty's servants the Queen to help.”

“No need.”

While cooking food for her Edward, the wise Queen Aerin muttered in her heart saying, “what did that stupid Aerin do to Edward so that he could get sick like this?!”

After she finished cooking, Queen Aerin returned to her room to bring Edward some porridge and warm milk.

“Build. Eat.” Queen Aerin sat down beside her bed and began to feed Edward.

“Edward, don't think too much you can get sick.”

“Aerin, i-”

“What did that stupid Aerin do to you so you could get sick like this, hm?”

“She ... she does that ritual every day to me.”

“What?! Why is it so overreacting, Edward?! Rituals are bad if they are too frequent! If it's like this, I won't let him touch you again!”

Despite being angry, the wise Queen Aerin still fed Edward gently.

He even sucked the heat of Edward's body by lying on his body, so considerate and romantic, but still feel cold.

“Aerin ... You are very different from the usual.” Edward stared at Queen Aerin's forehead, which was being pierced by him to suck the heat of his body.

“Although we are one, yet we are two different people. He was my sloppy, perverted, bar-bar, stupid self. While I myself am a wise, intelligent, and talk as necessary.”

“What about your heart? Do you love me as much as that stupid Aerin?”

“You think why would I bother cooking for you while I have thousands of cooks? Why would I want to bribe you while I have thousands of servants? And even why would I take off all my clothes to suck the heat on your body while I have thousands of healers?”

Edward turned his eyes in another direction.

“Only ... You feel so different. You there certainly can not resist doing the ritual now.”

Inexplicably, Edward felt that Aerin was now someone else.

Maybe because Edward was used to the silliness of his wife who was in the Dwarfold that Aerin who currently feels strange.

…

The afternoon began to rise shining in the vast grassy land of the Archangle Kingdom.

After two hours on Edward's body, Queen Aerin felt that Edward was still in pain.

“Close with me. Maybe fresh air can make you better.” Queen Aerin helped Edward put on her clothes, bathed her in warm water, and took her out of Parmel Castle to tour around Arendel City.

Wanting to enjoy the atmosphere without the urging of the people who greeted them, Queen Aerin and Edward used their disguises to get out.

“Aerin ... I still have something to do in the United Kingdom,” whispered Edward as Queen Aerin was holding her hand across the town square of Arendel.

“Can't leave until you're completely healthy! And I will scold that stupid Aerin for not being able to take care of you properly!”

When she arrived at the Arendel Town square, Queen Aerin learned there was a festival that invited circus performances from the human kingdom.

A lion handler was playing with his lion in the middle of the show.

But after a few minutes of walking, the charmer lost control of his lion as it seemed that the lion was starving.

Unwittingly, the lion ran towards the back of Edward's body whispering to Queen Aerin.

With her sensory magic, Queen Aerin can sense the danger behind those who are heading towards them.

But Queen Aerin can not cast her magic because there is filled with Elf people.

Queen Aerin did not want her disguise to be uncovered so as to attract attention, then crowded around Edward who was sick.

Seconds before the lion pounced on Edward's back, Queen Aerin immediately made her own back as a shield for Edward.

It is impossible if Queen Aerin pulls Edward back or pushes him, because the lion will keep coming back and will definitely target Edward.

“Aerin you got-”

*rek!

The safest sound from the lion's claws tore through Queen Aerin's back.

*byrouar!!!

Edward turned his back and saw a lion tearing the back of Queen Aerin.

With a furious rage, Edward jumped at the lion and caught his neck.

*hap

Edward lifted the lion's neck up, dragged it, and threw it into an iron cage not far from him.

After he finished dealing with the lion, Edward went straight back to his Queen Aerin who was being knocked down with blood flowing from his back.

“Aerin!!” edward shouted while clutching the head of Queen Aerin, then tore his clothes to cover the clothes from the back of Queen Aerin.

“Edward-ku is fine right?” Queen Aerin smiled holding Edward's cheek.

“Why are you asking me while the injured is you!”

“I am a Queen. My strength is the strongest in the Southern Hemisphere. Even a dragon will not kill me. You're sick, why fight a lion like that?”

Edward immediately breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Queen Aerin was fine.

“Is this how much you care for me even giving up your own back to scratch, because I'm sick?”

“Ya .. more or less like that,” replied the wise Queen Aerin with her blushing cheeks.

*hap

Amidst the crowd of people who still do not know their identity, Edward embraced his wife with love.

“Thank you, Aerin. I will try hard to learn to love you and forget Princess Gwen!”

That day, Edward immediately abandoned his intention to go to the United Kingdom.

Edward begins to learn to love what he has now.
