“Okay,” Eugene reassured him as she embraced his arm. If that’s all he wanted, then there was no reason not to comply. Though it was a cherished place, it wasn’t as if they could never return, and it was only for a few months.
“In return, we’ll share some tea, alright?” Kasser suggested, though he appeared somewhat uneasy, as if he had coerced her into it. She willingly agreed, and he found it endearing and beautiful. He gently slid a ring onto Eugene’s finger and planted a kiss on the back of her hand.
“If you’d like, anytime,” Eugene smiled.
Eugene linked her arm with his as they strolled together, a smile playing on her lips. It always astonished her how a man buried in the responsibilities of running a kingdom would occasionally utter lines of a typical playboy. She concluded that it was something she couldn’t explain, a facet of his character that was just part of who he was.
In the afternoon, Charlotte made an unexpected visit, arriving without prior notice. Eugene had been planning to summon Charlotte soon to express her gratitude for her assistance, so she warmly welcomed her.
It was evident that Charlotte had genuinely cared for Lima, as the latter had chosen to return to her previous dwelling, declining the accommodations Charlotte had arranged.
However, Charlotte brought unsettling news. She reported that Lima had suddenly begun experiencing contractions.
“But isn’t it still some time before the due date?” Eugene inquired.
“Yes, Your Highness,” Charlotte nodded. “She hasn’t even completed eight months yet.”
