Even Yelena knew that it was a infantile demand to inform her husband to defy a royal command simply because she didn’t wish to be separated from him for a number of months.

‘Furthermore, the scenario within the north is absolutely dangerous.’

The brand new normal that the opposite nation introduced into command was extra extraordinary than anticipated. Correspondence with the northern border introduced graver information with every passing day. Thus, the royal household modified their plans. They have been now attempting to arrange reinforcements with knights as an alternative of extraordinary troopers.

‘That’s proper, who else could be put in cost if not my husband?’

In her thoughts, Yelena already knew why this needed to be finished. It was her coronary heart that refused to know.

Yelena rubbed her cheek towards her husband’s chest. She may really feel his giant physique change into taut with nerves, making his exhausting muscle tissue even tighter.

Yelena suppressed the urge to stroke her husband’s physique, inappropriate within the present scenario, and spoke.

“It gained’t be harmful, will it?”

“You possibly can belief in me. I gained’t get harm it doesn’t matter what.”

Yelena listened to the agency voice communicate over her head and thought, ‘I’ll need to curse the crown prince.’

The erudite Rosaline was well-versed in that space as properly. When Yelena had first met Rosaline within the lounge space of a banquet corridor, the latter had been piercing a ragdoll with nails.

‘She’d stated that it was actually efficient.’

Maybe Yelena ought to get her arms on that doll.

Her eyes sparkled. If the crown prince may see her, he could be rubbing his arms from getting goosebumps.

It was unclear whether or not Kaywhin knew what his spouse was considering as he gazed at her quietly. Then, he lowered his head in direction of Yelena’s ear.

“Kaywhin?”

He hesitated for a bit, after which whispered quietly.

Yelena blinked.Then, her head shot up.

“Simply now…”

“…”

“Actually? Do you imply that?”

“…”

“Once you come again… Actually?”

“…Sure.”

Kaywhin’s ears have been redder than regular when he gave his affirmation. Yelena stared at her husband blankly after which her face flushed.

“Darling, you may’t change your thoughts about this. Completely not.”

“I gained’t.”

“You promised. You already know you need to preserve guarantees it doesn’t matter what, proper?”

“Sure.”

“You possibly can’t come again and say that you simply modified your thoughts… Don’t even attempt to say that. I gained’t allow you to get away with it.”

“That gained’t occur.”

“Good. Then lets signal a contract now?”

Kaywhin, who had been responding with ease, went speechless.

“…Do we actually need to signal a contract?”

“Hm.”

Yelena chuckled, seeing these blue eyes tremble.

“No, I simply stated that for the heck of it. We don’t need to signal a contract.”

Yelena opened each arms and pulled her husband in for a hug.

“It’ll be a verbal contract, I suppose.”

She at all times felt protected each time she held this broad and agency physique. The guts-fluttering was a plus.

“I can’t wait.”

“…”

“I hope that day comes rapidly.”

Kaywhin’s ears turned much more crimson from Yelena’s unabashed honesty.

Then, Yelena pulled away as if she had considered one thing. She raised her head.

“I desire a down cost.”

“A down cost?”

“A contract continues to be a contract, so I ought to a minimum of get a down cost,” Yelena stated after which closed her eyes and barely puckered her lips. It was apparent what she wished.

“Please do it deeper than regular. Because it’s a down cost.”

“…Okay.”

Kaywhin gulped. He held Yelena’s chin delicately and lowered his head.

The perceptive servants and helpers gave them their house.

The couple spent fairly a very long time within the backyard, simply the 2 of them.

***

The day of Kaywhin’s sendoff was determined: in three weeks.

The schedule was unexpectedly delayed as a result of organising the elite reinforcements was a harder activity than anticipated.

‘In the meantime, they have been capable of determine the commander of the reinforcements in a matter of seconds.’

Yelena scoffed, however nonetheless, it was excellent news that she had three extra weeks to spend along with her husband.

‘We’ll be inseparable.’

Simply as Yelena had pledged, the couple mainly turned joined on the hip for these three weeks.

[Are you two joined at the hip? Were you two cut in half by accident in the past? Excuse me, can you please do me a favor and tone it down?]

Yelena was ignoring the Holy Sword’s numerous grumblings as regular when Sidrion visited the ducal citadel.

“Black Tower Proprietor.”

Yelena regarded the person, a bit shocked.

“…You’re nonetheless the identical.”

“How ought to I interpret that?”

Sidrion’s face appeared regular. He did appear a little bit fatigued, however other than that, Yelena couldn’t spot any variations from his regular look.

‘I believed he’d be all pores and skin and bones.’
