Chapter 761: It Was Beneficial For Them
The security measures Ferdinand had in place had kept Arabella safe and prevented more assassination attempts from harming her.
She held his hand and led him to a seat. Ferdinand understood wordlessly that she wanted him to sit down so he did.
Arabella smiled at the gesture and seated herself on his lap.
"..." Ferdinand gulped but did not complain. Instead, he wrapped an arm around her waist.
Arabella held his hand reassuringly and interlocked their fingers, " I understand you worry about me a lot. It cannot be helped. I worry a lot about you too even if I know you are strong and powerful. But regardless of our worries and fears, we have to do our duties and responsibilities. We are not living in this empire as just two people. We have people counting on us so we have to act even if we have our worries."
Arabella wanted Ferdinand to understand that their mutual concern for each other was natural and important since they were lovers. But it shouldn’t hinder them from fulfilling their roles and living their lives to the fullest.
"..." Ferdinand did not reply since he knew she was speaking of facts.
[So we have to get by despite all these fears and worries? I always wish for Arabella to be safe and sound. But what would I do if something happened to her while I push my worries aside?]
"I will be alright," Arabella promised.
