Book 3: Chapter 38
“Your highness…”
“Good morning, Lucia.”
I took advantage of mom’s busy schedule in the morning to come to the training area. Lucia had just recovered yet she had begun her daily training already.
We were still in the passionate stage of our relationship, yet mom had been ordering me around all the time recently. She calls for me every time she has spare time. I actually suspect that she even used instant transmission and mind-reading. She appears behind me every time I intend to go to see Lucia. She’s with me even while I read.
Lucia was recovering and training. Our meetings were so short they were pitiful. Lucia didn’t mind my sweat and hugged me whenever she saw me. We would then kiss, but just as our faces touched, mom would appear and interrupt us.
Lucia threw her wooden sword down, excitedly ran over and hugged me tightly. I kissed Lucia on her forehead and stroked her head, and then said: “Lucia, aren’t you training too hard? I’ve seen you training every day recently. Take two days off…”
“I’m alright, your highness. I just shifted my training sessions at night to daytime.” Lucia smiled. She then tippy-toed, kissed me on my lips and said: “I usually train at night, but I won’t be able to train at night after we get married, so I need to switch it up to daytime and get used to it.”
“You still have to look after yourself though otherwise I’ll feel bad.”
“Uhm, you too, your highness… What has her highness been looking for you so often for recently?
