Chapter 8 - Volume 8 Couple rings

Yuri woke up early in the morning, he walked down the stairs looking for a kitchen. A maid cleaning around the room assisted him, Yuri wore an apron. He was craving for a simple home-made breakfast. The maid placed all the ingredients he needed on the table. Victor was startled when he saw Yuri out of bed, putting on his robe he ran downstairs. Victor was mumbling, "Where did he go? He usually sleeps in till eight…" Victor heard Yuri's voice singing coming from the kitchen, he ran to kitchen and saw Yuri cooking breakfast. All the maids had tried to stop him, when they saw Victor they fell on their knees. Victor dismissed them, he sat on a chair, "Did you made breakfast for two?" Yuri looked at Victor, "Good morning, yes I did. Only me and my child." Yuri placed the dishes that he finished cooking on the table, Victor said, "I will eat on the baby's behalf." Nara joined also on the breakfast squad; he was reminded of his old days. Lord Usagi was forced to join by Victor, he took one bite and chugged down the whole plate of egg omelette. Eating in an enclosed place with their heads close together was Nara's wish, laughing as they share their funny stories as a family was what Lord Usagi needed. Yuri in a small amount of time with a simple breakfast had fulfilled their wishes, Victor said, "Next time wake me up to assist you." Nara helped Yuri to clear the table, with a pleasant smile on his face Nara said, "Thank you for the food, I want to join the breakfast crew." Everyone starring at Lord Usagi had their hopes high he would give in also, Lord Usagi cleared his throat, "This was lovely, I wouldn't mind having another happy morning." Victor helped Yuri prepare for work, Shion was already downstairs. Gia and Shion had breakfast just the two of them. Gia from a distance was watching and waiting for an opportunity to execute her plan. At work everyone kept starring at Yuri, no one had the guts to ask him his relationship with Victor. Shion brought coffee for Yuri, he said, "I received your class schedules, I will do my best to assist His Highness with work in your absence." Yuri was pleased by Shion's dedication to work. Yuri placed his coffee down, "Shion can I ask you something personal." Shion placed his cup down, Yuri looking directly in his eyes asked, "What is your marriage with Victor like? You never reacted to me being pregnant with his child…it is weird that you aren't angry." Shion held Yuri's hand, "We aren't married out of love, our marriage was an alliance for our kingdoms. Growing up I was always taught about royalty and how to be fulfil my duty. We were never taught to love…or to feel anything outside fulfilling our duties." Yuri felt hurt to hear what Shion said, "Everyone deserve a chance to be loved and love, it is a choice we make as humans because love is a part of us. We can't be taught how to love, it happens naturally. If you need an expert to assist l am here for you…I have seen different scenarios in movies." Shion's heart skipped a beat when Yuri was talking. Victor called on the phone, "Yuri, can you come in my office." Yuri stood up and said, "If you have someone who you think you love, come and tell me. I will help you win that person's heart." Victor was reading a book about how to care for an early pregnant person. When Yuri entered the office, he saw Victor sitting on the couch. Victor said, "I ordered lunch for the two of us." Yuri banged Victor's head, he said, "Prince Shion is here you know. I guess you aren't hungry." Victor was unhappy to share lunch with Shion, but Yuri he respected Yuri's wish. Prince Shion ate his food slowly, Yuri kept looking at him. His stares could pierce a hole on his face, "Perhaps is there something on my face Yuri?" Victor felt uncomfortable with how casual these two were, "Prince Shion, as someone superior than you address His Majesty appropriately." Reflecting on his mistake Shion said, "Forgive my…" "I should apologise because I am the one who made Shion to address me casually." Yuri felt guilty that Shion. As they were going through the minutes from the previous meeting Shion kept glancing at Yuri. Victor was seriously focusing on his paper, he said, "Prince Shion, I hope you have noted the mistakes you made. That's it for today thank you for your hard work." Victor walked in front of Yuri, touching his belly he said, "Hey baby, are you alright?" Yuri was startled, he hit his head with a paper in his hand, "Next time tell me before you touch my stomach!" Prince Shion couldn't hold back his laughter, Victor had never seen him laughing before.

The day of Yuri's lessons arrived; they noticed a bunch of mothers attending their lesson as they walked upstairs. Yuri saw his well decorated lesson room; his teacher was a middle gentle woman. Nara sat beside Yuri; the woman handed them a book. Yuri felt bored, he said, "Excuse me, I would like to use the bathroom." Teacher replied, "Of course, it is common for pregnant people to use the restroom quite often." Yuri sneaked inside the other class with other mothers, these mothers were full of gossip. Yuri easily fitted in, all the mothers were thrilled to see an eager father learning. After an hour Nara and the teacher went to look for Yuri, they searched all the restrooms. Nara opened the first level door, all women paid their respects, "Greetings your Majesty." Yuri tried to hide behind a doll, Nara went in front of him, "You know I can see you right? Why did you run away?" All the woman thought he was a simple man eager to learn about parenthood, they never thought he was a royal. Yuri sighed, "I am sorry I will return to class." Nara lightly rubbed his cheek, "I can see you were enjoying your time here; you can attend lessons here if that's what you desire. Teacher, prepare the upstairs room for the ladies and His Majesty." All the ladies looked at Yuri, they bowed down, "Forgive our rudeness your Majesty." Cara was the person who easily blended with Yuri, she was a gossip queen. Cara leaned over to Yuri, "As I was saying Roy's wife is totally unaware that his mistress is Bella. She is pregnant and next month on when the Father's Day all dads are attending the lessons with us there will be drama." When the lessons were done Yuri saw Nara and the guards waiting for him. Yuri shared all the juicy gossip with Nara, even though he was totally unaware of the people he was happy to see Nara that excited. Nara said, "I am surely excited to witness all that drama next month." When they arrived home after dinner Yuri was watching a new series with Nara waiting for Victor. Yuri had a bowl of popcorns and a large mug of juice. Nara said, "What do you think Roy will do next month?" Yuri took a large sip of his juice, he replied, "He might come up with an excuse not to attend. If he ends up coming then his wife will have a fight with the mistress." Victor gently lifted Yuri's head, he looked in his eyes, "Hey I am back, shouldn't you be in bed?" Prince Shion greeted Nara and Yuri, with puppy eyes Yuri replied, "We were talking about my lesson today, how was work?" Victor sat beside Yuri, he had a bad day at work, "I am behind with my proposal for a project, I will be all night on it." Yuri placed his snacks down, "It is the oil and gas project, right? I have already done my research maybe we can work on finishing up the proposal document." Shion felt bad for being so worthless, he was eavesdropping on their conversation. Gia said, "It hurts right, we are basically treated as ghosts in our own home." Shion knew Gia wanted to provoke him, "I am tired Gia, unlike you sleeping here all day I was at work." Victor was served dinner in his study room; he was working with Yuri on the proposal. Looking at Yuri's work he said, "I am impressed Yuri, you are definitely the best secretary and fiancé one can wish for." Lord Usagi smiled as he saw his son working with Yuri, he quietly closed the door and walked away. Yuri fell asleep on the desk whilst waiting for Victor who was polishing the report. Victor stared at Yuri, he wiped away the drool on his mouth. Victor carefully lifted him up, he tackled him in bed and kissed him goodnight. Victor was pleased when the shareholders approved his proposal, everyone was satisfied with the polished work Victor did. Victor kept starring at Yuri during the presentation, at that moment he realised in his life Yuri was the best choice he made. After the meeting Victor treated Yuri to an expensive meal, Yuri looking at Victor asked, "What's the big occasion? People usually come to expensive hotels for dates and proposals." Victor looked at Yuri face stuffed with meet, he took a napkin and wiped away the crumbs on his face. Victor looking directly in Yuri's eyes said, "Thank you for being a part of my life, I love you." Victor French kissed Yuri, gasping for air Yuri squeezed Victor's hand. With red flushed cheeks Yuri felt powerless, Victor smiled and said, "I now know your weakness." Victor slipped a ring on Yuri finger, Victor had a similar ring.
