Chapter 521 - Tale of Rain Part 3 (2/2)
His wife Orthez was clumsily soaking up a towel in a wash basin. ”You have to get rid of the water but not completely.” Osamu called out.
Orthez frowned. ”I know.”
”Did I collapse?” He stated the obvious.
”You did.” Orthez bit her lip. ”You didn't have to rush back non stop like that.”
”I was worried about you my wife.”
”I can handle this! I've been raised to be the Queen since I was born, don't underestimate me.”
Yes that's right. The elders, those around them raised both of them to be the future King and Queen. Their fates were enter winded for so long and yet he recalled her smile earlier. The first person to make her smile, to make her become serious wasn't him.
Even if he disappears Orthez will be fine. It will be hard for her but she will have that man to support her.
Osamu felt the coldness of the towel on his forehead. ”Anyhow your resting.”
”What about…”
”I will handle everything.” Orthez interjected sharply. ”Just don't, just don't do this again!”
His eyes widened when he heard her shaking tone. He glanced over properly and saw that she was trembling. Was she that scared?
Osamu extended his hand out. ”Lay down beside me Orthez.”
She looked frustrated but nodded as she laid down beside him. The moment she was on the bed he pulled her into his arms. ”How long have we been married Orthez?”
”Why are you asking?”
”Entertain me.”
”Only seven years.”
Only seven huh? Only seven years has passed since he took the throne. To think that his time would come to an end so quickly. Osamu already understood the current situation. 'Unless I die this chaos won't end.'
His thoughts broke off when Orthez went on top of him. She played with his hair. ”What are you thinking?”
”Nothing.”
Orthez didn't look convinced. ”Is that girl truly going to be okay there? What if the King comes back?”
”Relax, that kan will be busy. Besides I have entrusted her in good hands.” Osamu quickly explained the situation with the young Prince.
Orthez frowned, she didn't seem very happy. ”Dear she already has a fiance..”
”Indeed, young Allen is a promising man.”
”Then...”
”But…” Osamu trailed off. ”We cannot decide her future for her. All we can do as her parents is help her build her connections. We surround her with powerful people, and it will be up to her to cultivate those relationsh.i.p.s.”
”That's true. So how is this young man?”
Osamu chuckled when he saw her sparkling eyes. She seems to be very interested in this topic.
”Your saying Lyn clung to him?”
”Indeed, she got all fl.u.s.tered when he complimented her too.”
They don't have that much time left together. So he wants to make some more happy memories with her.
