Chapter 61: To Prudencia
"Yes. For now, I just want to take a look. Someday, let’s go together and take our time," Arabella invited and Ferdinand’s ears turned red. He seemed to like the idea.
[I see. We would visit together someday. She’s already thinking about the future? Does she want to travel with me? If only we were in Estrella, I could let her ride on my back and let her see everything from the skies.]
’Ride on his back?’ Arabella recalled the mighty and huge silver dragon she saw in her dreams. It sounded nice to be able to see everything from above but recalling how high he flew scared her she might fall to her death.
"Alright then. You may do as you wish. But don’t ever leave Rendell and Alwin’s side. I haven’t visited those territories for a while so I don’t know how they are doing. Prudencia and Safiro were just conquered recently so there may still be hostility against Valeria. Especially since you are my wife. I fear there might be people who would try to take out their anger on you. You have to be very careful."
"Thank you!" Arabella kissed him on the cheek before she knew it. She was just so delighted to finally make her plans work.
[She kissed me for the first time?!!]
She froze when she realized what she had just done.
’Why did I kiss him?’
Ah, right. She used to kiss Icarus or her other paramour on the cheek or even on the lips when they did something for her. It was out of habit. Yes, that must be it.
’Would he think it was weird?’
But then again, Ferdinand is her husband so nothing’s wrong with it. It was just a thank you for agreeing to her requests.
