"How, Lail? Do I deserve to be your husband and father to Arthur?"

The atmosphere suddenly tense, Asye decided to retreat while dragging Rakaz out even though the red-haired young man still wanted to see the unexpected thing that Zavir had just created.

Silent. Lail broke eye contact because Zavir never took his eyes off her. Zavir's smile was created. "I heard everything from the outside."

Lail looked back at Zavir, but the hazel-eyed man looked at Arthur with love and anxiety.

"I tried so hard to fill the void between you and Arthur."

"But you know that ak—"

"Women without husbands? Strangers who escaped?" Zavir interrupted quickly and at the same time Lail nodded her head and lowered her head in lethargy.

"I wouldn't go this far if those things bothered me or weighed me down. Instead I thought, are you the one who is burdened with my request. If I take a step to become closer to you, will I be able to fulfill all your desires? Do I deserve to take over the responsibility that man once filled?"

Lail was unmoved while Zavir just smiled faintly. "I love you so much Arthur and I think I'm ready to take you and Arthur to be a part of me, I won't let you down. I promise."

Lail's chest rumbled, the strange taste of her stomach making Lail's body somewhat bristling.

"I'm not gonna push you, Lail." Zavir's pale face was a little mingled, already from the beginning he was holding back the shame after pouring out all the sentences earlier.

"I'll wait for your answer. No matter how long it takes because I'll keep looking forward to it." Zavir then put Arthur into a swing while looking at Lail who bit his lower lip.

Zavir let out a slow breath seeing Lail so tense that from that, he let himself go from there and Lail did not prevent. After the two were invisible to each other, each of them instantly ignored all the things around, thinking about what had just happened.

Meanwhile, in the Gazebo the residence of the King or Hendry. Rakaz doesn't stop talking about what Zavir told Lail. Asye exhaled because Rakaz was so shocked while Hendry only chuckled because he had guessed that Lail was the reason Zavir rejected all the candidates.

"But ... Doesn't Lail still have Hendrixine citizenship?" Rakaz started to stop from his shock.

Asye bobble head. "That's not a problem. If Lail is to marry Zavir, then his citizenship will follow Zavir."

"Then, what if anyone knew that Lail was a woman from the other side of the country? Are you sure the Orcal people will accept Lail as their Duchess?" Rakaz returned.

Hendry smelled a smile. "I'm sure Zavir has thought things through. He wouldn't have established himself if anything would have hurt Lail."

Asye exhaled while rubbing her big belly, before long her smile was created. "I hope they can be together.

...***...

A week later after news of Zavir rejecting the candidates had spread in the royal capital. Some nobles who were disappointed after his son was rejected by Zavir began to speculate that the second prince did not like the opposite sex. As a result, unpleasant rumors have spread.

Hendry exhaled. By now Hendry had called Zavir to meet him in the study. The hazel-eyed man stood in front of Hendry's desk indifferent because he knew what made Hendry call him.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"You know what I mean?"

"That's a bad rumor, right?"

Hendry rubbed a rough face before looking back fiercely at Zavir. "The palace people are talking about you clearly. In fact, I realized some of the male workers in the palace were a bit wary when they came across you."

Zavir then went out to let Hendry roar annoyed in the meantime after leaving the King's residence, midway to the queen's residence, Zavir saw Lail's way while carrying a pile of files.

While accelerating, Zavir's smile did not fade until finally the road along with the blonde-haired woman.

"Need help?" Zavir held back the ruckus when offering help, it was because Lail was so focused on stepping that she was unaware of his presence.

"Eh?!" Lail was surprised, almost dropping all the files.

Zavir laughed then the two stopped, facing off. From some corner of the queen's residence, the workers began to notice the two.

"No need, I can take him." Lail refused.

Zavir nods his head and reaches into the pocket of the robe, a red box with gold ribbons and is thrust on Lail along with the file taken unilaterally by him.

Zavir's sturdy body slightly bent, his lips then approached Lail's earlobes while whispering somewhat sensually, "Let me take it to the Queen by chance I have some business there. Open the box after returning to the pavilion."

Lail felt amused until she inched backwards while touching the earlobe, her face was already flushed red.

Zavir laughed even more with anxiety at Lail's reaction and waved to rush to meet Asye.

"Ah, so miss secretary, huh?"

"It is fitting that the second Prince always visits the pavilion."

"Well, no matter how rumors are rumors."

"The two are compatible, right."

"really. Her Majesty the Queen alone seems to be supporting the relationship of the two."

Whispers began to pour out, the conscious Lail had taken a lot of attention straight away from there while looking at the small gift Zavir gave.

Lail let out a long breath, now that he had reached the pavilion, his room. While sitting on the sofa, Lail opened the box carefully and found a necklace with a jewel pendant. Lail was amazed, a flash of light appeared in his eyes as the sunlight collided with the jewel.

The necklace Lail lifted up high and then her smile was painted. "It looks like the moon too ..."

Lail stopped the words for a moment Zavir's beautiful eyes flashed through his mind. Well, aside from looking like the moon, the sparkling gem resembled Zavir's hazel eyes.

"Should I wear it? But, if I wear it does that mean I accept the proposal?" Lail began to get frustrated while in a different place, Zavir continued to chuckle when he told Asye.

"Aren't you too excited, Zavir?" Asye bobbing head.

Zavir stopped laughing and leaned back tired on the sofa. "I've been holding myself back too much. In addition, I would like to introduce Lail indirectly to people so that there will be no bad rumors after Lail actually accepts my offer to marry her."

"Isn't it, rumors are better to storm at once? That way, it's easy to clean up. After all, I don't want to make Lail have a lot of trouble and pressure because she's had enough." Zavir grinned thinly while staring at Asye.

Once more. Asye exhaled and then nodded her head. "You're right. But ... How long are you gonna get reassurance from Lail?" now Asye smiled sarcastically at Zavir.

Feeling underestimated, Zavir replied Asye no less sarcastic. "Of course soon. Even if I say I'm gonna wait, it doesn't mean I'm gonna let it go for too long."
