As soon as Raoul and Ariana re-entered the palace hall, the two immediately got busy talking to the envoys sent to attend their wedding. For several hours, Ariana couldn't help but smile and greet them one by one. Now, Ariana understood why Raoul was so worried about her condition before the wedding. To deal with the incessant influx of guests, she did need to be in top health.“Aria.”Just as they finally had time to rest for a while, Raoul, who was originally focused on talking to the guests, immediately turned his attention back to Ariana. Raoul rubbed Ariana's face carefully before he whispered in a gloomy voice.“I must have pushed you too far. Rest, for now, Aria. Let me handle the guests from here on out.”Even though Ariana was sure she could still follow Raoul until the event was completely over, it was undeniable that Ariana did feel a little tired. Her heavy wedding dress had been weighing on Ariana since morning. And after the event, she still had to directly face the envo

In between conscious and unconscious, Ariana felt her body submerged in comfortable water. Behind her, a figure with a strong body embraced Ariana and started rubbing her body in light motions. From his touch alone, Ariana could tell that the person who was hugging her was acting carefully so that Ariana wouldn't be disturbed in her sleep. Ariana subconsciously moaned softly because of the comfortable feeling that enveloped her entire body. Soaking in warm water after wrestling in bed is always the best.“Did I wake you up, Aria?”Ariana got goosebumps when she heard Raoul's low voice behind her ear. Currently, Ariana wasn't really awake from her sleep. The woman replied to Raoul's question with an incoherent mumble, then moved her body to find a safe position in Raoul's arms.Raoul could no longer hold back his chuckle as he watched Ariana unknowingly act spoiled and cute in front of him. Raoul's hand easily led Ariana to rest comfortably on his chest. The king's eyes looked so gentl

Ariana doesn't know what happened to her after she fainted so suddenly. The last thing she remembered was the sound of Carla's panicked screams, and Captain Allen's large arms immediately cradling her. Ariana slightly sighed when she realized that Raoul's bad prediction had come true this time. Raoul tried to keep her out, as the man felt that Ariana wasn't in top shape. Ariana tried not to think about it at the time. Yet, who knew … That she would actually end up fainting halfway when her group was about to return to the palace.When Ariana woke up again, she saw a familiar sight from the top of the bed she was currently using. As Ariana looked around, she finally realized that she seemed to have been taken to rest at her family residence, which was in Alison's territory. Even though Ariana's room in the royal palace had been made as close as possible to her bedroom in Alison's, some small details were still not the same, so Ariana immediately recognized where she was sleeping right

After Ariana felt fine, she thought she could finally return to the royal palace and live with Raoul as usual. However, Raoul, who is traumatized by seeing Ariana faint due to the long journey, finally asks Ariana to extend her stay at Alison, at least until their child is born.Considering that Ariana also can't leave her duties as territory lord, living in Alison also means that Ariana doesn't have to travel anymore to solve the problems that exist in Alison. Ariana has nothing to lose with this arrangement. The only sad thing, maybe only that Raoul could only visit his wife every few days again.Fortunately, because Raoul knew he would have a child in a few months, his enthusiasm for work increased severalfold. Raoul, who initially could only come in the middle of the night and return early in the morning, slowly started to stay longer until he was sometimes able to take days off after finishing his work. Raoul usually used that time to spoil Ariana. The father-to-be was so passion

The atmosphere in the Alison family residence at night was always quiet without any disturbance. Almost all the lights have been turned off. And except for those assigned to watch the night in the residence, the others had fallen asleep once it was past midnight. Both Ariana and Raoul had also rested comfortably in the main bedroom. Raoul didn't change his position in hugging Ariana, and Ariana also leaned comfortably in Raoul's arms. Nothing has changed so far. But at one point, Ariana, who was originally sleeping soundly suddenly furrowed her brows and started to squirm uncomfortably.“Aria, is something wrong?”Even though Raoul was dreaming earlier, the man immediately woke up when he felt his wife's unusual movement. At first, Raoul, who had just opened his eyes thought that Aria might need something like usual. But when he heard the groaning sound and saw Ariana's face that was in pain, the sleepiness disappeared completely when he got up from his sleeping position.“Aria, what
