On a cooler morning than usual, I decided to take a walk in the garden near the palace and kept my mind on Vento. It grows a lot of flowers, especially blue roses. Anyway, I had no free time to do anything, so I picked up the watering can to water the flowers to kill time. Umiliato once taught me how to take care of flowers, so it applies reasonably now.
These green roses are different from the flowers in the garden. They grow luxuriantly in a corner, no one seems to care and trim like other flowers, rose rose still become the focus of attention in this garden.
But the focus now shifted to something else, an aquatic Ifi stream?
- I hope next time you can stand in front of me instead of appearing behind you!
I still water the flowers even though I know someone behind me is someone who carries Ifi water system, very strong.
Not Suzu, not Vento or Passato.
- I am rude to the Queen. Marquis Swift Annin would like to visit the Queen.
Well, this kind of cumbersome ceremony!
- Stand up.
I waved a hand for the dark blue-haired Annin who was kneeling.
My uncle is a marquis, two steps behind Vento. But he is also a childhood friend, a concurrent servant of Passato in the battle against the Nememis church. I saw him in heavy knight costume. Looking closely today, he looked exceptionally smart, his beauty was not so bad.
- Did you come here for something?
- Rayzin tribe sent lady Kodama Kojima to pray for relatives, who should take care of their position.
Annin lifted the frame. Seems like he's completely serious about this.
Rayzin is probably plotting something, it is best to prevent from the inside out.
- Oh really? So how is Passato's opinion?
- The King could not refuse, so he accepted to let Lady Kojima stay in the White palace as a guest.
He presented a long round that made me dizzy. I nodded furiously and smiled to have:
- It looks like Passato still has a face for us, he doesn't seem to break his promise.
Of course he has to save face for me. Having just finished setting up Queen Hau, two weeks later, I was in a hurry to load my queen, what difference would it be to apply ash on my face?
It was impossible to kick back Lady Kojima, she could only keep it as a guest, and then she planned for a long time.
- Grand Duke Hepburn has led troops to Eftreet to clear Uggcael's border invaders. Queen assured, sooner or later Uggcael will surrender. But during this time no one in the palace protected anyone at all, definitely be cautious. Lower gods please leave.
He bent down and left the garden. I can temporarily trust him. He has good intentions to inform us, every word reminds me to take care of myself. Annin he is not necessarily a bad person.
Vento, who once again immersed herself in war to protect our homeland. What do people do for?
After watering the flowers, I decided to leave the Luc Bao palace and walk around the palace. I have not had much chance to visit this place yet, always reminded by Suzu as a child taught by my mother.
It caught my eye the splendor of a beautiful girl standing before my eyes ever since. Red hair down to the hip with a lyly flower in the hair. Pink face plump, more healthy in the body. She approached me and bowed politely.
- Okay, free ceremony!
We waved our hands quickly before the red-haired girl knelt down, because I was so tired of this type of greeting.
If guessing correctly, this is probably Lady Kodama Kojima?
- Queen, I have a favor to ask for your help
Does my aunt recognize me as Queen Hau? This girl is not bad, unyielding, frank, strong, straight-tempered as a man. And the maids in the palace only got a lot of mouth, singing non-stop non-stop.
- If I can do it, I'll help you, what?
- Help me cancel this marriage!
Kodama looked straight at me, which made me a bit surprised. Is she not voluntary?
- The king and I are pretty half-hearted. This is very difficult for me.
I really wanted to do something to help my sister escape her fate to become "I am the second", but this is something I can't interfere too much. By the name of that Passato Rio nearly a month without even coming to see me, what kind of begging?
- OK. I'll think of a way, just take a break Kodod, everything will be fine.
Yes, I have accepted my help will never swallow. That day, I invited the King to have a meal with me, on the one hand was eating and drinking, on the other, begging for Kodama, but it depends on luck.
Dishes are served on the table. He seemed very happy to be invited here. Even so, I just wanted to get it over and kick him away. Even if he said it, he would really wrap me up
Grabbing the tablecloth, I put all my energy into announcing something I've been trying to cover up for the past two days.
- I am pregnant!
- Really?
His expressionless face made me a little disappointed. Was he not happy to hear that he was about to become a father?
Passato asked me for what he wanted, anything he gave to me. I begged him to cancel the marriage with Kodama, he agreed, and turned to leave like he was angry. I think I successfully begged him with this pregnancy.
The next morning, Lady Kodama Kojima fled, the royal army was not sent. It seems he kept his promise.
It has been a week since the news of my pregnancy spread to the palace. The marquis down and the busy martial arts literature gave away gifts full of jewels, delicious food, brocade, etc.It was mainly for my heart, convenient for promotion. They don't really need to give that much. I'm not lacking because my adopted man is the owner of a kingdom.
Vento, where are you?
We do not need the silk of jewels, I just need a word of encouragement from you.
Why don't you come?
The archer today is very busy because he has to check the pile of gifts very carefully. If anyone has malicious intent to put bad things inside, then something big happens.
In recent days, every night Passato tries to arrange work to visit us. His face always puffed up, making me shudder. There are even days when he sleeps again, but he doesn't do anything to us. I heard he loaded a new queen, what's his name?
Men in the seventh year of concubines are normal, I do not have the right to prevent.
During this time, I could not swallow it even when I painted the seafood, so I liked sour food more and more, so every day on the dining table was full of green mango, sour plum, and even salted lemon slices.
I rubbed my stomach without showing any signs of it. Who will this baby be born to? Like me or like him?
Looking at the book that Suzu left on the table, I studied it for a while.
Books about pregnant women, very useful here!
- Let's see ... do not use stimulants because they are harmful to the fetus, must keep warm belly again. It's winter now, keep warm. Stay away from things like rose, musk, because it will cause immediate abortion ...
Muttering aloud to try to remember these things. But what is musk?
Being engrossed in thinking about musk, then trouble comes.
- Bediza Polvere's concubine would like to appeal to the Empress.
Ah, the new empress, right? It turned out that the name was Polvere.
She covered my face with the white cloth still kneeling on the ground. The fiery body burned the eyes of the onlookers, the thin clothing looked like a dancer at the fair. Do not know behind the other scarf my face like her. I don't want to care about what I'm tired of, just kneeling like that won't make me die.
- The concubine would like to ask for a Queen.
It seems that my wife lost her patience as she put out every word.
- Stand up. What did you come here for?
- Hearing the news that the Queen brought a long pregnancy, the concubine came to celebrate.
- The news has been spreading out for a long time. Why don't you wait until I have my baby and come to have a good time?
Polvere was speechless after I spoke.
- If there is no problem, go home, do not see off.
- My god, please leave.
She exasperatedly went outside, and I could hear her footsteps slamming on the brick floor.
Fast forward also to the fifth month, at which the wave of tragedy is about to strike us.
On a hot summer day, I walked around the palace. At this stage should exercise a little, then the fetus is healthy new birth.
By lunch, before, I wouldn't have minded going all the way down to the barbecue, but it's different now. I am afraid of the fishy smell, every time I smell the food, I vomit to die again.
Now, too, the uncomfortable feeling in my neck makes it unbearable. I stood up and walked quickly toward the tree over there and vomited. Heading on a tree, the whole body is like a noodle in the afternoon. Where nausea goes on forever. My face is probably as green as a banana leaf or something green.
Blue ... today's sky is like your eyes.
Vento was like disappearing from this world, even the silhouette could be seen. What's so good about border crossings?
I still remember those people, but he probably doesn't care about me. There is my affection for the person ...
It is also coming to an end!
Besides spending time to sleep, I read books to acquire knowledge and calm. For me, keeping a cool head right now is the most important thing.
- Aa ~ Open your mouth.
- No, I ate it myself!
- I feed her or I eat her.
Passato threatened me even when I was carrying such a big belly.
- Yes.
I nodded and accepted the fate of being bullied by my husband, opening my mouth so that Passato could apply every spoon of porridge. He was on duty from morning to night, taking care of Suzu.
- I'm full, you go.
- This is our palace, whether I go or not is her steward.
He held the bowl of clean porridge with his hand and placed it on the wooden table. I felt sorry for his overly caring care, but sad when he didn't come here.
- Passato, do you like boys or girls?
- As long as it's her baby, I'll love them. But I prefer girls.
- Why?
I think he will prefer his son for the future so that he will inherit the throne.
- Simple, because the son will fight her with me.
His gentle, definitive voice seemed to be silently deterring the developing baby in our womb. I tried not to laugh at his ridiculous reason.
- Where's Mr. Vento? Long time no see him appear?
- He is patrolling on the northern border. Maybe the end of the new year.
- The end of the year? Maybe then I also gave birth to this baby.
We look at our tummy and then add:
- Have you thought of a name for him yet?
- Yes, of course!
He pretended to raise his chin proudly.
- What? What?
I feel a little excited in my heart.
- If it's a boy, the name is Forte, which means strong. And the girl will be Pesco, a peach tree.
In time to reply, my lips were blocked by the sudden kiss coming from him. Sweet and poison my mind.
I thought that peaceful days like this would last forever, but no, nothing was forever.
We are afraid of the rain, because it reminds me of our loss.
Alone inside the palace, I stared blankly out the window, waiting for Passato to arrive. The rain was falling, and sometimes a light flashed by it, making the room light up momentarily.
Will he come to this heavy rain?
We suddenly have a bad premonition, feeling chills along the back of our spine.
Maybe it's because the wind is blowing too hard!
I told myself then slowly walked to the bed behind the screen. I carefully took a step into the chair to make my steps stronger.
"Sprinkle"
The foot of the chair made a sound. My body stiffened because I was leaning without anything to hold on to.
It's so cold, my stomach hurts!
We know we have fallen down and slept for a long time and not witnessed many things happened. When I opened my eyes, I immediately saw that the demon mask guy pulled out a large blue blade, with strange strange patterns.
Great executioner soul? Indestructible with the ability to cut through all barriers?
And yet, many other black masked men also rushed into the room.
- Brothers, smash this shield for me!
The leader's mask screamed at the helm of the juniors, raised his hand to slay his soul, and slashed a sharp slash at me.
No, it doesn't slash into my body. Something like a glowing barrier blocked the entire room.
- Damned!
This swear is a female voice. I tried to see clearly who it was in the blinding light of the eye, with colorful splashes of Ifi splashing from the collision of the spirit sword and the barrier.
Many times looking at myself in the mirror, I did not dare to recognize myself as beautiful. But the girl using both hands to maintain the barrier is so beautiful, just like my modified version.
Tea brown hair and resplendent sunset eyes, known as the genius of spells and medicinal herbs.
Yubet Lunar Hepburn.
Is my aunt alive? And still protecting yourself?
We could see sweat splattering like bathing on Yubet's face. Having multiple masks trying to destroy this barrier, the more she tried to maintain it, the more it would drain her massive amount of Ifi.
- This is the end!
The masked man backed away from the momentum and jumped up, raising his great sword and slamming his soul into a barrier.
I wait for the pain to come. Maybe Yubet can't handle this slash.
- Do you dare to swing the sword at my two brothers? Courageous.
The soul sword that was blocked by a right hand was said to be firm and extremely strong. The masked shudder noticed the shinthire-colored gaze.
Those eyes made me fascinated how I could not forget. I think he has abandoned us, but it is not. There was a time when I believed that I would be protected by Passato, but when I got into this situation I couldn't see him. And Vento, who never worries me when I'm with you.
Marena Vento Hepburn.
Her strangely beautiful blonde hair was neatly tied up with black silk, the blue knight uniform had been soaked with rain for so long. But his Shapphire eyes were very resilient and his confidence was ready to knock away all opponents.
- Die!
Scrambling his soul, Vento kicked the mask's abdomen with his foot, causing him to fly out through the window, lying on his stomach with merciless rain.
- You are too violent, Rena.
Another person appeared in the blink of an eye. He had disheveled black hair, blue eyes of the deep ocean. His outfit is black, on the hem of the shirt has an R-shaped symbol with a circle around it, something I've never seen.
It was quite designed quite like a knight's uniform but not a knight's uniform either.
Who is this man? What is the relationship with Vento? How could he casually call out someone like that? That's something even me, or Passato - childhood friend of him and Emperor Adonai Ha Arezt could not do.
My mind spun around and about to crack. Heavily lidded eyelids drove me into a coma a second time.
The rain was still falling, it was said that the day it rained was the sad thing that always happened.
