Chapter 306: Pregnancy Symptoms (1)
"My love..."
I heard a familiar voice calling out by my side, it was my husband's voice.
"It is time to get up and eat." His sweet tone helped me open my heavy eyelids.
"W-What time is it?" I asked groggily, rubbing my eyes, and looking around the room.
I was slowly orienting myself after my heavy nap. When I looked around the room, I remembered that we are checked-in in an inn at a village we passed by in our journey east of Alvannia.
"It is half past eight my love." Regaleon rubbed my cheeks gently.
"You had a long nap. I was reluctant to wake you up, looking at your lovely and peaceful sleeping face." He smiled at me.
"I slept that long?" I was a little surprised, but I guess it is to be expected.
I am currently carrying Regaleon's child in my belly, our child. I have at least learned the first signs of pregnancy symptoms, and that is fatigue and becoming always sleepy. It was clear that I was now experiencing such symptoms.
"You must have been very tired in our journey." Regaleon looked at me worriedly.
"At least you had a good nap. It is time to eat now. Tricia had brought our dinner here."
When Regaleon mentioned food, I felt hungry and my stomach made a low grumble. Regaleon and I are the only ones inside the room and so the interior was quiet. The grumbling of my stomach was faintly heard.
"Hehe." Regaleon chuckled handsomely. I felt quite embarrassed but also irritated.
"you do not need to laugh at me." I scolded my husband and lightly slapped his shoulder with irritation.
"I am quite hungry you know, so I cannot help it." I can feel a blush creep on my cheeks.
"I know, I know." Regaleon tried to stop his laughter.
"I would not want to be at the receiving end of your irritation because of your hunger, so come here and let us eat."
Regaleon stood up and offered his hand to me. I took it and slowly got up from the bed. We walked over the small table took our respective seats.
At the table were steaming food. It was a regular menu with meat, vegetables, and soup. Just looking at the food made me even hungrier.
Regaleon and I offered a prayer of thanks and started eating. We both ate in silence at first, but after some time I heard noised coming from outside.
"Why do you think it is noisy outside?" I asked Regaleon just to start a conversation while eating.
"Oh, that..." Regaleon replied and took a bite of his food. "Our men are just busy doing the orders I have given."
"Orders?" I looked at him curiously and took a sip of my soup. "This late at night?"
'Should you not let your men at least have a good night's rest?' I thought to myself and giggled internally.
Regaleon is a good leader, but sometimes he can be a tyrant towards his men and his enemies.
"It is because some pest came inside the village not too long ago." Regaleon said and drank some water from his glass after.
"Pests you say?" I was curious more and more. "What kind of pests?"
"Pests that needs to be exterminated swiftly or else they would multiply cause a problem for the country." Regaleon said nonchalantly.
