Alex and Anna hurried to the Alex’s study. The old lady is waiting there.
No matter how much Anna asked her, the old lady’s answer still firmed.
Then, Anna shot Alex a suspicious look, silently demanding an explanation.
Alex instinctively reached for her hand, but she pulled it away without hesitation.
"So," Alex sai
"I-I... I'm telling the truth... That baby really is Your Majesty's child," the middle-aged woman stammered, trembling before Alex.Alex and Anna hurried to the Alex’s study. The old lady is waiting there.No matter how much Anna asked her, the old lady’s answer still firmed.Then, Anna shot Alex a suspicious look, silently demanding an explanation.Alex instinctively reached for her hand, but she pulled it away without hesitation."So," Alex said calmly, "have you prepared yourself for the punishment you'll receive, old lady?""W-What do you mean, Your Majesty?" the woman replied, her hands shaking uncontrollably. "That little girl truly is your flesh and blood."Cold sweat streamed down her face and neck.Even the sleeping baby in her arms was jostled by the trembling."She is not my daughter."Alex's voice was cold."I've never been with any woman other than my wife. You're obviously lying."
Alex still silent.He didn't respond to Anna's complaint.To him, it seemed like his wife was simply being clingy and wanted to hear the sweet words.Anna’s love language is Words of Affirmation. Hearing such a sweet and genuine words make her feel safe.Alex, however, didn't think it was necessary to repeat himself.Before they got married, he had already confessed that he was willing to let her reject him if it meant keeping her out of danger.He firmly believed that actions spoke louder than words.To him, showing his love through what he did was far more meaningful than saying the same words over and over again.Instead of answering, Alex simply buried his face against Anna's shoulder while still lying on top of her.Then he gently took one of her hands and placed it on top of his head, silently asking her to stroke his hair.Watching her husband act so adorable, made Anna puff out her c
Anna is so thirsty now.But, her body refused to leave the bed.The bed seemed to have a magnet, holding her in place as she hugged a pillow against her chest. She had never felt so comfortable. Really opposite with her feeling.While her body was completely at ease, her heart was exploding like a firecracker.Her thoughts kept drifting back to the Alex's lips.Anna really wants to scream right now.She was overwhelmed with happiness and nervous.How was she supposed to act to Alex after that kiss?After the wedding blessing and coronation, they had hosted a banquet for the citizens, which had ended only about half an hour ago.It’s eleven o'clock at night.Throughout the banquet, neither of them had a chance to speak privately. The palace staff and the citizens had kept them occupied. No room for privacy.Honestly, Anna couldn't have been happier.Their marriage had been blessed by so many people. Anna hadn't stopped smiling.Then… Anna’s strained. She hears Alex’s footsteps.Ohh Go
This morning, Anna, Alex, and Robert were ready to depart for the Sea Dragon Kingdom.As Alex had explained, once arrived, they would immediately prepare themselves and swear the vows before Goddess Exi. According to him, Goddess Exi was the deity who blessed and protected the Sea Dragon Clan.The moment they arrived, Anna was amazed by the view.It looked exactly like the magnificent castles described in fantasy novels—a grand mansion with elegant classical interiors, countless rooms, and numerous servants waiting to welcome them.The castle stood on land, exactly along the coast.Before coming here, Anna had assumed that the Sea Dragon Kingdom would be hidden deep beneath the ocean.Unable to suppress her curiosity, she leaned closer to Alex and whispered, "Since you live on land, does that mean you can't breathe underwater?"Alex glanced at her with adorable smile."What kind of question is that? Of course I can.""We
Knock... Knock... Knock...Anna had only fallen asleep at five in the morning when a knock on the door woke her up."Mmm... who is it?" she asked, her voice still hoarse with sleep."It's me, Ma'am. I've brought your clothes. And the Master would like you to join him for breakfast," said the maid. Anna realized she still didn't know the woman's name."Alright, come in."The middle-aged woman entered the room and helped Anna to her feet. She escorted her to the bathroom before leaving her to get ready on her own.While waiting for Anna to finish bathing, the woman tidied the bed and arranged Anna's belongings on the vanity table—her comb, hair clips, accessories, skincare products, and makeup."Oh, right. I never learned your name yesterday," Anna said as she stepped out of the bathroom.She had already changed into fresh clothes and was casually drying her hair with a towel."My name is Sri, Ma'am. You can call me Mbak Sri. That's what the Master usually calls me."Anna smiled."Alrig
Alexander, dressed in sleepwear and bare-chested, had just finished taking a shower. He was drying his hair with a towel as he walked toward the bed. He looked completely calm, with no trace of guilt on his face despite having entered the bedroom of his father's new wife."I came to see my wife. Am I not allowed to see my wife?""My wife? Who's your wife?" Anna asked in confusion.By now, she had retreated to the far corner of the bed, wrapped tightly in a blanket."You're my wife. Not my father's," Alex replied calmly.He sat down on the bed, leaving some distance between them. He knew Anna was probably afraid of him."I'll explain everything now. But you have to promise me you won't scream."Anna silent for a moment before nodding."First, you have to believe that magic exists."Anna shocked. “Are you joking, now?”But Anna didn’t ask her question and still quiet for a moment."What do you mean, Lex?" Anna asked then.Alex immediately raised his right hand and brushed it across his
