Chapter 324 - Raging Hormones (2/2)
”I love you so much, my husband.” I said, savoring his warmth in his embrace. ”I will never leave your side whatever happens.”
”I love you too, my wife.” Regaleon planted a kiss on the top of my head.
This position gave me as sense of relief after my bout of anger has passed. I never knew that I can be that angry. Maybe it was because of my pregnancy. They said that hormones in pregnant woman can make them very moody.
I felt so at peace that I fell asleep in my husband's warm embrace.

(Regaleon's POV)
Alicia fell asleep right in my arms. I carried her gently and walked back towards our quarters.
Once we entered the room, I laid her down in bed and loosened up her dress. I tucked her in and planted a soft kiss on the forehead.
”You are the only person in this world that I am afraid of.” I gently put aside stray strands of hair from her face.
My wife was the most beautiful woman in my eyes. Not a woman alive could even compare to her beauty in my sight, and so what happened to Duke Destia's daughter last night was a simple matter to me. I never thought that Alicia would get angry at me for not telling her this.
”I should tell her every woman that comes close to me from now on.” I said. ”I would not want my wife getting angry at me.”
But it was a delight to see my wife getting jelous of another woman. It made me see how much she loves me even more.
I stood up gently and walked towards the door. I need to know what that woman told Alicia when they talked a while ago.
”Sir William.” I called by the door.
The door opened and William was there guarding as always.
”Yes, your majesty.” William asked.
”Can we talk for a bit inside?” I asked.
”Yes, of course.” William said respectfully and entered our room silently.
William and I walked towards the veranda overlooking the sea.
”Let's talk lighlty as to not wake up my wife.” I said and William nodded. ”Were you there when Lady Destia and my wife were talking?” I asked.
”Yes, I was standing close if ever Lady Destia would do something brash.” William replied.
”That is good to hear.” I nodded, satisfied that William was always there to guard Alicia. ”So, did you hear what they talked about?”
I would want to know what Lady Destia had said to my wife. If ever she had been harsh on her words or insulted Alicia in any way, then I was prepared to give her a hardher punishment. I can overlook the things she has done to me so far, but I would never forgive her if she had hurt my wife in anyway.
”They talked peacefully your majesty.” William replied. ”There is nothing to worry about.”
William recounted to me everything that Lady Destia and my wife talked about. He even told me about the conversation between my wife and Duke Destia's son.
”Another man who has fallen in love with my wife.” I sighed. ”And to think they first met when they were still young.”
I was really lucky to have been the one chosen by my wife. Alicia has unknowingly ensnared the hearts of many young men. Well I am most definitely the greatest one of them all, knowing that I was the one Alicia loves and chose.
”There is no harm from young master Destia. It looks like he has come into term with her majesty's rejection.” William said. ”And he is already engaged to a fone young lady.”
”I know.” I sighed once again. ”I am just happy that majority of the men that has fallen for my wife have good hearts. Well except for one.”
I then remembered the crown prince of Jennovia, Gladiolus. To think he was about to marry Alicia by force. I can help but get angry just by thinking of him.
”After this war ends, I will personally punish that mother and son pair with my own hands.” I said gripping my palms tightly.

(Somewhere in Jennovia)
Queen Patricia was forced to flee the Jennovian palace after Duke Matias' army envaded. The civil war has come to an end with the other side's victory. Jennovia's rule was now given to Satiana, as the sole heir of the previous king.
”How dare they?!” Queen Patricia said with fury.
”It was best to flee and fight another day, your majesty.” High priest Hector said.
The hight priest, who was a clear supporter of Queen Patricia and her advisor, has no other choice but to flee with the queen and her son. He would have been thrown to jail and get executed if he stayed.
”I will make them pay with the shame they have given me.” Queen Patricia angrily said. ”What news have you got?”
There were still people that were loyal to the queen, or rather towards her son. The Atlantians that remain under the queen's command still believe that prince Gladiolus is the chosen one that will be their salvation.
”The message that came from my spies contains information about King Regaleon's men looking for so called key fragments.” High priest Hector said.
”Tell them to observe them closely whithout them noticing.” Queen Patricia said. ”Let them do the job of searching and obtaining the key fragments, and then we will snatch it from them.”
Then a young woman came near the queen and the high priest. It was Clara, one of the siblings that were taken prisoner after the naval battle on the Duess Canal.
”Your majesty my queen.” Clara kneeled on one mne before Queen Patricia.
”It is good that you were able to escape from your captors Clara.” The queen said. ”Too bad that your brother Jeremy was not able to make it out alive.”
”I will make them pay for what they have done to me and my brother.” Fury was burning inside Clara's eyes.
”Good. I will need you by my side to seek revenge on those that have done this to us.” Queen Patricia said. ”We will make them pay.”
