They ran to the three men and showed what they had in their basket. Huli only nodded while Ronin and Kyro lifted the two children and gave compliments for helping their parents so well.
"Tama and Joben where are you with the herbs, your mother is waiting for us"
Tatsu came back to fetch his two children and saw that they were with the three men. He bowed and said
"greetings my Lords and your highness, my apology if the children have harassed you three"
All three of them looked at Tastu in surprise and did not know what to say. Huli was the first to move. He approached Tastu and hugged him and said with joy.
"My old friend you dont know how long I have been searching for you, it is good to see you again. And you are a father already! "
Tatsu felt surprised and looked at Huli with a questioning look. He uncomfortably stepped back and said in a humble tone
"again my apology but besides your titles I don't know who you are. If you would excuse me the queen really needs these healing herbs "
The moment Huli heared the words of Tatsu, his eyes changed and his world collapsed. Before Huli could say anything, Tatsu had already walked away with the children.
The three remained stunned and looked ahead without saying a word. Was this the same Tatsu they knew? What had happened to him and wasn't he going to marry somebody else then Jaya?
...
All day Huli could not concentrate on his work and was distracted all the time. He decided to quit his work and to see how Kaida was doing. A servant had informed him that she had woken up and Jaya was taking care of her.
When Huli opened the door to their bedroom, he saw Kaida sitting in front of the mirror. she was wearing a satin dress with a transparent satin bathrobe.
Her long red curls ran loosely over her back and part of her hair ran down her shoulder to her chest. With smooth movements she was brushing that part of her hair.
From where Huli stood he could clearly see her reflection. She looked down with a warm look, making it look like she had her eyes closed. She had a smile on her face and was humming. She looked so breathtaking that his heart was beating faster.
When he approached her, he saw that Kaida had noticed him. When she looked at him with her beautiful red eyes he only had eyes for her.
Where his thoughts were first fulled with concerns about Tatsu they were now replaced by Kaida alone.
Kaida turned and stood up. She made a small bow
"my king what brings you here at this time"
Huli stopped an inch in front of her and slid his finger along the lines of her face. As he looked at her deeply, he said
" My queen does the time matter when I want to visit my wife?"
Kaida swallowed but her mouth was completely dry. By the way he looked at her, her heart beat faster and everywhere his finger touched her felt warm. She looked at him and tried to keep looking into his blue eyes.
Although his facial expression was tight, she could see a desire in his eyes. She felt his fingers go over her lips and saw that he brought his face closer to her. Soon she felt his lips on hers.
His kiss was wild and rough, and before she knew it, she felt his tongue slip into her mouth to explore every corner.
She felt his arms around her waist and he quickly lifted her up and carried her to the bed.
He threw her down on the bed and took off his clothes. He leaned forward and slid his hands over Kaida's shoulders, removing her dressing gown. He pushed Kaida on her back and laid down on her.
Kaida looked at Huli and noticed that there was something off about him, as if something was bothering him. She put her hand on his cheek and looked lovingly at him
"my king, are you all right?"
Huli frowned but quickly restored his facial expression and gave her a kiss on her hand
"my queen, I don't feel like talking now"
Before Kaida could answer, she was kissed rough and intense again. It was clear that he had something on his mind. Normally his embrace was tender and soft, this time his embrace was rough and intense. If he did his best to forget something.
....
Kaida opened her eyes and saw that she was lying on Huli's chest. She looked up and saw that he was already awake. He had a document in his hand and was reading it carefully.
The more she looked at him, the more beautiful she thought he was. She was staring so much that she didn't realize he was watching her.
"Do you like what you see
Kaida jumped up and sat up, blushing she looked away
"I can't complain"
Huli gave a small smile and sat up.
"Like I said, your sister is getting married in a few months. It is common for a representative of each tribe to visit the other three tribes a few days before the wedding to discuss the wedding presents. Since it is your sisters, I think it is a good idea to give you this task "
Kaida's eyes began to glisten and she almost jumped up from joy
"my king it would be my honor!"
Huli saw that Kaida was very happy with the news, so he hesitantly said
"you must know that the council members have already decided to let Nana accompony you during your trip to the other tribe"
Kaida joy left as quickly as it had come and she looked at huli with a cold-blooded look and said with a cold voice
"why is that?"
Huli scratched behind his ear and looked away
"my queen even though you are married to me, you still have the blood of a dragon in you, where nana has the blood of a fox in her. In order to not offend the other tribes to only send a by marraige envoy, we will also send Nana who has the princess title "
"Mmm"
Without looking at Huli, she got up and grabbed her bathrobe.
"My king as you wish. In the coming months I will be busy building with my army "
Huli sighed and stood up. Suddenly he turned to Kaida and said
"Jaya is the healer who made the poison during the war isn't she? "
Kaida turned and looked at Huli, before she could say anything he stood right in front of her and grabbed her chin with his hand
"my queen I am not in the mood to entertain you, tell me everything"
She looked at Huli with her eyes low. where he was holding her was hurting her. The way He responded somewhat surprised her.
He had never been so hostile to her. Normally she could still see a few emotions in his eyes but this time there was only emptiness to be seen.
She swallowed and said
"my king, if you let me go I will tell you everything"
Huli looked at her and then slowly released her. He sat down on the sofa and waited for Kaida to take a seat next to him. When Kaida sat down next to him, he looked at her.
When Kaida was talking he listened attentively and occasionally his expression changed and there were various emotions in his eyes. When she finished telling, it was quiet for a while.
"So that's why he did not know me, he lost his memory"
Kaida held her heart and was already prepared to defend and protect Jaya, but Huli was only talking about Tastu.
He wanted to know if he had had a good life in those five years, if he is happy with Jaya and his children. All questions that Kaida didn't have the answer to.
Kaida took his hand and interrupted
"My king, why don't you ask him yourself?"
Huli looked at Kaida and felt an emotion he didn't know coming over him. He stroked her hair and gave her a kiss on her forehead
"my queen you are right. It is about time that I started working. Good luck with building. I will give u all the space you need "
