[Ragnar’s POV]When Isabella told me she was pregnant, it felt like I was in cloud nine. I was so happy and ecstatic, knowing that our love has borne fruit at last.It was not long since the two of us had been married and we became an official couple. Yes, we did it probably every night after we got married, but to think we would be blessed with a child this early in our marriage made me very happy. We may still be young, but I am sure that with our parent’s guidance we would raise our child with outmost care and love.Our parents had made mistakes when they started out, but their mistakes can tend to be lessons for us the next generation. I have promised to be a good father to my future children even before I met Isabella. The time I first laid eyes on her, I knew she was the suitable one to be my partner. And as time passed by, my feelings grew into love. I was fortunate to have won her love, I was happy to have her by my side.But after Isabella mentioned that she kept the pregnanc
I can feel her warm body in my arms shivering. I let her cry and until all her sorrows have came out. Her quiet sobs were like small needles piercing my heart slowly and painfully.After some time, her cries started to die down. She had calmed down and her body stopped shaking. I gently lifted her face to see her face. "No." Isabella tried to refuse my advances. "I surely look haggard from crying she said. "To me, you will always be my beautiful wife." I said with affection.Isabella had let me see her face at least. I gently lifted her chin and saw her eyes swollen with her crying. On her cheeks were still some wet tears. I took out my handkerchief from pocket and gently wiped her tears away. "See, you are still so beautiful." I said with all honesty. In my eyes, Isabella my wife, was the most beautiful woman in the world. "You are clearly teasing me." She smiled at last. "I am sorry for leaving you my love." I said and planted a kiss at the back of her hand. "I was momentarily
[Isabella’s POV] Like Ragnar had planned, we traveled to the Beach 🏝️ city of Vienna on the back of Avatar. We are accompanied by Ivy and Maggie, while the rest of the men in our group will continue in horseback and will probably arrived by late afternoon or early evening. Snow was also with us in her cat form, seating on my lap looking so carefree. We were high in the sky traveling, for about ten minutes. I was able to see the sea now, meaning we are nearly in the Beach city. "It has been a while since I have been in the Beach 🏝️ city of Vienna." I said. "So, you have been here in the past?" Ragnar asked. "Yes, it was a long time ago. Back when I was still young." I replied. "Our whole family came out here to greet and meet with the envoys of the country of Kabul, a country beyond the seas to the east. It was courtesy because the envoy consists of royal family members from their country." When I was little, I was able to visit this city with the royal family. As I recall
But Ragnar’s gaze did not even rest on Juccilia who was clearly trying to get his attention. His eyes were glued to me, his arm was firmly encircled around my waist while his hand held mine to support me. "If you are done with the introductions, can you please lead us to our quarters at once?" Ragnar said with clear irritation. "My wife is pregnant and needs to rest." "O-Oh, yes. Of course, your majesty." Duke Henderson said feeling embarrassed. "I would like to congratulate both of you for the good news. My butler will lead you to your rooms." He gestured to his butler. The butler came and bowed down to us. "Lunch will be served a little while. Would you like it to be sent to your rooms?" McPherson asked. "It looks like her majesty is currently not feeling well." He said with utmost respect. "That would be fine." Ragnar replied. "Would you be dining with us, your majesty?" Juccilia asked with a cute voice that peeked my irritation. I looked at her sideways with a cold look,
I was able to take a refreshing nap all afternoon after eating lunch. When I woke up, the sky was turning red orange and the sun was just about to set. Ragnar was sitting by my side reading a book. "Did you get a good sleep?" He asked with a smile. "Yes, I feel refreshed after taking the afternoon nap." I replied with a smile. "Where did you get the book?" I asked out of curiosity.I thought that maybe Ragnar left our room when I was asleep. Then the thought of him meeting Juccilia by chance made me feel irritated in some way. I know that Ragnar loves me and is a loyal husband, but I cannot stop women such as Juccilia from try to get close and seduce him. That is what makes me feel irritated. "If you are thinking that I left when you were asleep, then you are mistaken." Ragnar smiled sweetly at me. "H-How did you..." I was about to ask how did he knew what I thought but I sighed and smiled. I am happy that my husband understands me to this extent. "That is because I can see the s
"It is a great pleasure for us in the Henderson estate to host your majesties here in Vienna ." Duke Henderson said. "This feast was made to welcome your grace in our beach 🏝️ city, and also your retainers as well. Please eat to your hearts content." He said with outmost respect and courtesy. "Thank you for your generous hospitality duke." Ragnar replied. "As the duke said, eat at your hearts content. Let this fest begin."The men at the table thanked the duke. All of us took our seat and started to eat merrily. Ragnar was very cautious of the food that was given to me. He was not only tasting it first before putting it on my plate, but also picking the most nutritious food available. "It will be best to stay from oily food for a while." He said softly. I smiled thinking how protective my husband is of me even to small things such as my food to eat.Ragnar had mentioned that when I was sleeping, Ivy came to our room to check up on me. They had a little chat on what to do and what
After the Henderson siblings left the dining hall, the feast continued as usual. I was not able to eat after hurling out some of the food I have just eaten, and so Ragnar and I excused ourselves early. "This is a good time to visit the seashore." Ragnar said while escorting me in the hallway. "Is that all right?" I asked. "We have just excused ourselves because I was not feeling too well." "They cannot question our actions." Ragnar gave me a wink and smiled. "This is a privilege only us monarchs have." He said playfully. I giggled with his remark.It is somewhat disrespectful to excuse yourself from the host because of feeling unwell and then they see you up and about some place at the same time. But as Ragnar has said, as monarchs, they will not question our intentions. "Then please lead the way." I said with a smile. Ragnar displayed a wide grin. "Come, follow me." Ragnar said and pulled me gently. Ragnar led the way in the duke’s estate. He led me to a path from the steep cli
[Ragnar’s POV] Isabella and I got back to our room swiftly with Avatar’s help. I carried my wife in my arms rather carefully and laid her down on the bed. I was worried of the pain she had just experienced. "How are you feeling, my love?" I asked in a worried tone. "I am fine, my love." Isabella replied with a smile. "Maybe, it was just a passing pain." "We cannot let such a thing pass by." I said. "What if it was something serious?" "Oh, Erik. You worry too much." Isabella giggled. "I am not feeling any pain right now, believe me." I sighed seeing her bright mood. But remembering her painful expression on the seashore a while ago made me tense and I cannot just calm down. *knock knock* "Your majesty, it is me." Maggie’s voice was heard outside the door. "I have come with Ivy." "Please, enter." I replied in haste. The door opened and Maggie came in with Ivy following from behind. I also saw Philip standing by the door. "I am sorry that I called you out from the fe
