"......" Your Majesty! Wake up! It's already morning! "
" Um "
" why don't you wake up? Why can't you wake up today? You don't even sleep."
The high-pitched child voice made Ruve frown. His head was heavy as a wet sandbag because he barely fell asleep at night. With a low grip/shaking touch, he raised his eyelids and saw something silvery glimmering in the brightening vision. Somehow, a small child smiled back at him,
"Good morning Your Majesty "
'...isn't it Diana..."
"What have you been up to this morning?" asked the child, slowly raising himself up, rolling his golden eyes
Ruve raised his body slowly and asked, the child rolled her big golden eyes back and picked a word for a while. It looked like Tia when he looked at her eyes,
Ruve forcibly opening his eyes, forgot about his unpleasant heart for a moment and laughed.
"Your Majesty, may I go outside the palace today?"
"Where you want to go? ”
"I'm going to play with Gradis. Can I go there? Yes? Yes?"
Ruve recalled the boy with the red hair that resembled his father, and the feeling that wasn't so good, ( ahahahhahaha gradis is carsein's son ) but he didn't want to disappoint his daughter who looked at him with her eyes full of anticipation.
"Yes, you can go. ”
"Thank you!"
" However, you shouldn't just walk around like last time. Do you understand?"
"Yes! I'll be back!"
Diana, who looked at him with an irritated look, smiled as soon as the words of permission fell. Then she rushed straight to Ruve, leaving a light kiss on the cheek and running out of the room.
After watching it for a moment, Ruve woke up, swallowing a laugh. His body on terrible condition, he couldn't help himself because he only sleep for two hours but he I couldn't come back to sleep even he tried hard.
Ruve head feel heavy when he want to changing clothes, once again he realized the absence of the Empress and headed to the office. He thought about dropping into the Guards Division for a while, but the morning exercise seemed to be unreasonable in the present situation, when he already have fatigue.
The same with Knights' inspection. ( Knight division is under Tia (empress) ) Perhaps they had noticed his keenness, his aides hurried on without a sound. Ruve raised his lips in a dour way as he watched them closely chant for the past month. If there was an empress, she would have comforted them with proper words, but he didn't really want to do so. This was his preferred way in the first place. "If it's unfair, try telling the empress to come back quickly.'
Suddenly, Ruve took the documents handed by the aide. What the heck, maybe there wasn't even one notice. The article is about Carsein, one of the few friends of my lovely wife, who once wandered around her looking for Tia's heart.
Ruve knew that the only heart he had for her was friendship, and that he was already have his own happy family.
Considering the friendship between Him and carsein for nearly a decade. Ruve still got on his nerves everytime Carsein getting close to his wife
"Yes, Your Majesty? ' His aides surprised him
Ruve frowned lightly and waved his hands.
"Nothing. Go on."
"Oh, yes, Your Majesty. Then I'll keep going. In this case...…."
Ruve listened to what his aides were saying in one ear and picked up the pens.
It was already a month ago, but the more he think about it, the worse he felt. Ouy Of all the 7I companies, why is it that Lord Carsein becomes a member of the empress's entourage for leaving the territory? ( LOL jealous Ruve, so Tia have a mission together with carsein )
Ruve emembered his daughter, who had been waking him up in the morning to play with his son. he felt like he was already on a downward curve,
Ruve muttered inwardly, giving strength to the hand that held the quill pen.
"Huck, Your Majesty?"
"...what else?" Ruve broke his thoughts and sharply answered them,
The aide said in a fluttering voice.
"The pen....."
"What happened to the pen !!!
Ruve sighed irritably as he looked down at his ink-stained hand. His hand collar had stained in a messy way.
His nervous aides said they were nervous to see him and put down his pen.
"Well, Your Majesty, I think it would be good to put off work today....until tomorrow. I'm going to make up for it, so why don't you take a break today? Your face don't have a good color. ....No. I'm afraid you're going to lose your senses. I'd like you to stop working today."
"...... I will. Everybody's gone now,"
Ruve didn't even think he could do his job now
When he saw aides rushing out of the office in a hurry like something, he felt better somehow, but he told him to pull the rope without saying anything and bring some water to wash his hands.
He couldn't used the precious handkerchief that Tia had made herself for anything like this.
After cleaning his hands, Ruve sighed and reopened a letter from Tia a few days ago. At the bottom of the silver glittering letter. there was the empress's own crest with a spear - shield - a lion and tiara. It was a special symbol that Ruve gave for her, the Empress and the successor to Monique.
( awwww Ruve give a new symbol for Tia as empress and successor )
He was swept away with a warm feeling.
Ruve re-read her letter, which he almost memorized. It was because he read it several times and the letter that she write ended up in an instant even though it was quite long.
Dear Ruve,
How Are you ? Did everyrhing fine ?
I am doing fine. All the attendants are also safe.
I thought I would stay here a little longer , can I ?
My father is very happy and it is a place that I can't easily come to.
i'm really sorry. You know that I still want to see you, right?
Say hi to Diana.
Then, I will be waiting for your reply.
With love, Aristia
Ruve saw the phrase carefully and felt bitter inside, but the heart melted away as soon as he saw the sentence at the bottom.
It's a pleasure feeling to hear that Tia still loves him even though they've been married for 10 years. He took out the blue paper from the drawer. The truth he was a reply for her. Ruve had already sent it on the same day he received the letter, but now he had nothing to do because all the official schedules already done today.
Still, Ruve wantI to keep the promise he had on the day They have Diana ( that time ruve promise to write a letter everyday )
I miss the empty bed side without you every night, and the longing for sleepless nights.
I run to Monique Territory several times a day,
why are you so cruel to me
.....
Ruve glance at what he wrote, and he crumpled the letter paper without hesitation and inked his pen again
How are you? Maybe it's because we always been together, and today I feel really lonely without you. Don't worry about Diana. I am doing well and healthy.
Diana come by early in the morning to play with Gradis and she wake me up
But oh, Tia. Diana is now seven years old. Can I let her play with an alien man? Actually I don't really like Gradis very much ....
Isn't it enough to be the son of Lord Karsein, but why his name also similar to Lord Verita ...
( ahahaha yes it's similiar Gradis - Allendis )
'No, can't be like this.'
Ruve crushed the paper again, sighed and put down the quill. He wasn't able to complete the letter even if it seemed that there was a lot of thing he want to tell Tia
But Ruve ended up giving her a bunch of questiom in the letter and There was nothing to hide from her now, but it was a little bit too much to show his jealousy. Ruve leaned against his back, squeezing his hands between his stiff eyes. When he with her, time flows fast
in the past month, the day has felt so long.
'I'd rather just pick her up.'
Suddenly, the thought that passed through his head passed by, and the patience he had been trying to keep was shaking precariously.
Although his aide said he can leave the capital and leave Diana alone
Ruve heard a knock and immediately a chief stepped in, said. "Your Majesty, Marquis of Fenrill, is asking to meet.
"Let him in.."
Ruve give a sigh answered, a man in a white uniform came in and bowed deeply
"Istern La Fenrill greets His Majesty, the Emperor of the Sun Empire."
"Come on, Marquis of Fenrill. What did you want to report ? Say it "
"Sorry, Your Majesty. the Empress did not tell you this but in fact, the empress had already departed from Monique Manor two days ago. … .
"What? What did you just say? Empress have leave the estate?"
“I heard it two days ago, maybe she have arrived in the capital by now…Your Majesty?”
… ..
This woman really..
She love playing this kind of mischievous prank to kill someone.
There's an etiquette for a royal pickup, but Ruve ignored them, he speeded up and went out to the central palace.
Marquis of Fenrill say that Tia would have been arrived in the capital city now
The pace that had been getting faster and faster changed to the level of jumping, Tia could see a strong wall that divides the outer and inner palaces far away. Because it was still 5 o'clock, the bridge still open for the public and She see a man who appeared in the shadow of the wall.
"Your Majesty?"
"......"
"How did you know? I was going to surprise you. why is your face hurt like this? You look older than before"
" Yes? "
Ruve see Tia running up and down and looking at him. He can't believe his wife was back, Ruve pulled his out of worry like a waterfall and kept her in his arms.
The nerves that had been sharply forged by the gentle fragrance of lavender
"Your Majesty?"
" ......You're my breath. Never leave me alone again."
Tia was silent for a moment, she softly wiped his back gently as the words were pouring out. The tender hand was going to move away, and Ruve whispered more, giving more strength to his hug
"I thought I was dying like this. Even if you came a day later, I would have gone out from imperial palace to look after you"
"Ruve..."
"I missed you, Tia. How long is a month without you, I'm afraid that you will never comeback, So please never again .. Don't leave me so lonely again. Please."
"I will. I'm so sorry, Your Majesty. I should have sent you a message in advance, but I didn't think much"
She just crossed the apologize and didn't trying to get out of his arms. "In fact, as soon as I got a reply, I immediately packed up, but it's a little late because I have more things to pack than I thought.
"You did."
" I'm sorry, Ruve .I should have come sooner........"
Ruve calm down a little When he see Tia eagerly apologizing over and over again, the feelings that have been frozen for the past month begun to melt.
Rublis shook his arm and looked down at her, who said something. Warm golden eyes, straight silver eyebrows, and pink lips that look very covetous. The appearance that I faced for a long time suddenly reminded me of my determination. Ruve whispered a little in her ear, struggling with the heat that began to spread from the bottom.
"Are you really sorry?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Then you shouldn't apologize properly, not just in words like this?"
" Are you .....on ur right mind ? ”
The tiredness from her whole body seemed to fly away. A Laughter suddenly came out, but Ruve tried to hide the smirk inside, disguised as a friendly smile.
"Let's talk slowly, let's go first. You have been tired on a long trip."
"Yes? Ah, yes, Your Majesty."
" I will do it the next day for the empress's safety, so let's dissolve today. "
Only then, together with the knight they moved to the Empress Palace with his arms around her lovely wife's shoulders. It seemed Ruve will be able to fall asleep well today. .. in many ways.

Adrian's Diary
When I think about it, I think I heard about the story of Diana's birth in a very young age-according to the mother's ex-maid, perhaps after the first accompanying meeting they had been passionate.
for me It seems, strangely, But I haven't heard about the story of Elina's birth and me for a very long time.
Until now, I had probably assumed that 8 years between the birth of Diana and us had many unspeakable circumstances, but later it turned out that there was indeed such an amnesty.
According to a report, the emperor must have suffered a lot since he had no news after a natural-born queen like Diana's. ( i think Tia and Ruve need a Son be a crown prince )
In any case, the Queen Mother visited the marquis manor to solve the problem of the heir successor of the family in a semi-abandoned state. and immediately after returning, you got me and Elina / Eleanor ? In fact, in this passage, I couldn't help but be surprised.
Queen Mother, How can you keep somebody away from for a month! Besides, if that was the reason, they wouldn't have let me go any further.
I was curious about this, so I looked into it later, and at that time, My Father was in vain because he didn't know the story and wanted to visit you at the manor
Anyway, while I was talking about it, my mother was so blushed, but the latter days had a good reason. The love of both of you is very famous,
I think the actions my father showed on the day my mother returned to palace were unrivaled.
Breathe... well, that's the kind of sweet line you're talking about, but you're also very powerful. How did you spend 3 days and 3 nights in the bedroom?
zzzz... I'm ashamed to write more. ......anyway he allowed me and Elena to be born, so should I say thank you?
