Chapter 436: Eternal Love and Commitment [Bonus - ]
"Oh, but once we are back in Riva, we can’t do it that much. My body won’t be able to take it. If we do it too much there, I would end up sleeping all day. I don’t want to be called a lazy Empress, so I must work too," Arabella clarified.
[Oh, that means we have to do it as much as we can here.] Ferdinand had a mischievous plan.
She had no qualms about that. It was better to do it a lot here while Ferdinand could heal her. They would slow down once they were back in Riva.
"Right, of course. And I won’t allow anyone to call you lazy," he said with such a serious expression. He planned to punish anyone who dares to say such a thing.
"Thank you," Arabella smiled. It’s nice to know she had her husband on her side.
"You don’t have to thank me. I’m your husband. It’s my duty to protect you. I won’t allow people to slander you. Especially when you are already working so hard even though you were just crowned a few months ago. Please don’t overdo it," Ferdinand kissed the back of her hands.
He was worried again.
"I won’t. I will rest when I want to. Moreover, doing my role as the Empress is also part of my duty as your wife, so it’s alright. I can manage the workload."
[It’s truly my fault.] Ferdinand sighed. But even if it was, he was not willing to let her go.
"Hmm. Partly, I guess," Arabella ruffled his hair.
’But it’s also because I don’t want a repeat of the past. His enemies were already plotting against him even when I wasn’t doing anything. They would surely do it again in this life.’
