The Goddess and the Cursed Prince

13. Quarrelling

Three weeks later, Chriss learned from the doctors that Ijima was pregnant with her child.

The man instantly left work just like that, a feeling of pleasure filled his heart, Chriss's smile imprinted during the trip to the infirmary.

Ijima was sleeping peacefully, noticing that his king was coming to the servants and soldiers who were standing guard saluting him.

"How's my wife doing?" tanya Chriss sits next to Ijima.

"Very good, your honor. The current queen is very weak as she spits out her breakfast but I have already given her an appetite-boosting potion. And also a glorious survivor" said the physician who answered a nod by Chriss.

The physician sent the ladies and gentlemen out of the room, wanting to give the leader some time.

Unknowingly Chriss rubbed Ijima's cheek gently, "I don't know, what this feeling is, I'm so happy Ijima. Thank you, my Queen."

My queen.

Chriss laughed softly after calling Ijima that name, as if he had found a suitable call for his wife.

The news of Ijima's pregnancy spread to make Neoma people excited, Chriss also held a party as a form of happiness.

At that time Chriss was busy taking care of preparations, he did not care about the messy appearance. King Kodama who was watching his youngest son bit by bit curled his smile,

"Well, I haven't seen my father's sincere smile in a long time" said one man who was confirmed to be his eldest son, Sam Kodama.

"I hope they love each other so that Chriss is no longer interested in the girl" said King Kodama.

"I'm sure after hearing this news, Maki will curse Chriss all out."

"Take it as a warning," said King Kodama, Sam little understand the behavior of his father, who does not want to have a daughter-in-law descendant of the goddess? Almost everyone wants it.

Sam is now serving as a royal advisor, he is no longer on a mission because he has expressed his resignation from the Magic Academy.

"What are you guys doing? This is so much, " complained Ijima as the ladies dressed him up. Just look at Ijima's reflection on the glass, her makeup like a newlywed.

"The queen must be beautiful tonight, we will make all eyes look at you" said the lady in charge of curling Ijima's hair.

"True, we will make everyone know how beautiful the queen of Neoma kingdom is," said the lady-in-waiting who had just finished polishing the lips of Ijima.

Ijima laughed softly, he let the ladies and gentlemen decorate it, from a distance the lady-in-waiting Annie was a little surprised because now the offspring of the goddess was pregnant with the child of an ordinary man.

"Queen, to have them split up seems difficult," muttered the lady-in-waiting Annie slightly in despair.

After Ijima was ready, the ladies-in-waiting led her to the royal hall, the party had already begun and the guests had danced with their respective partners.

The ladies-in-waiting took off the links of her hands from Ijima's hands as soon as she saw her king approaching the queen.

Chriss reached out with the intention of inviting Ijima to dance.

"A-I'm not very proficient," whispered Ijima a little embarrassed.

Chriss placed Ijima's left hand on her right chest and Chriss's right hand hugged her waist.

"Just calm down, I can lead you" said Chriss, and they danced, eyes sky blue and blood red locked. They both realized each other's perfection.

The whispers of the guests began to sound.

"I can't imagine how perfect their descendants will be."

"True, they're the perfect couple."

The music flowed melodiously, the steps along the two stopped when the music was finished. Chriss released his hand link.

"Neoma's future is on your body now, so take good care of him" Chriss recalled.

Ijima nodded with a sincere smile, since the news of her pregnancy earlier Chriss seemed to care deeply about her, it made Ijima very happy.

"Thanks! What the fuck?!" the girl's protest was unacceptable.

For the first time Chriss had no interest in looking at her lover's pretty face.

"We just end this relationship" said Chriss, who succeeded in making Maki furious.

"You! Rejecting your promise!"

"I'm trying to love my partner, Maki. And we don't have to see each other again, Ijima forbade me to see you."

"No! Don't leave me, Chriss!"

On the other side where Awldo met Ijima in the royal garden of Neoma, Awldo slowly removed his mask. Ijima was surprised to see the handsome face of the man. If a male hunter takes off his mask in front of someone it means that person means a lot. Black eyes with blue fringes and black hair were able to nail Ijima's attention.

"I'm sorry, Miss. Maybe it's a brash act but I have to say it," Awldo said, showing a genuine smile, at first glance the hunter was similar to Shwan.

"pronounce what?"

"I love you, Miss. Will you be queen of the kingdom of Celosia?"

This was a stiff proposal that Awldo made, he looked serious about it.

"I really appreciate your feelings, but I'm pregnant with a noble child" Ijima said, trying to formulate a polite word so as not to hurt the man.

"I'll wait until the child is born" Awldo said a little forcefully.

"Awldo—"

"Ijima is the queen of the Neoma kingdom, if someone tries to take her away it means she's declaring war with me!"

The baritone voice made Awldo and Ijima turn to the source of the voice. There stood Chriss with a gaze full of anger and beside him was Maki who was still lingering spoiled in the arms of Chriss.

"Your Majesty, you—"

Chriss quickly slams Maki's hand and pulls Ijima's hand into the kingdom before she finishes her speech.

After the two had reached the room, Chriss threw Ijima's hand until the woman grimaced.

"What are you doing with that fucking guy?!" snapped at Chriss, he clasped both of Ijima's shoulders.

"Awldo and I were just talking about the kingdom" Ijima told a lie.

Chriss laughed, "You think I'm stupid?! The hunter took off his mask while talking to you earlier, and he proposed to you, tell me what deal I said to you."

"Chriss—"

"Say!" make Chriss upset.

"I cannot find another man who has nothing to do with the Neoma kingdom" Ijima said in a trembling voice.

"You know but you still do it" Chriss said.

"You also met Maki earlier," said Ijima, blaming himself.

"I went to see Maki to cut off our relationship, I'm gonna kill that fucking guy!" chriss defended himself.

"Don't, don't do that, I won't let you kill the Shwan family." Seeing Ijima plead like that made Chriss's annoyance peak. He took off the grip and walked out of the room.

He orders Sam to break up the party because Chriss' mood is completely ruined. Sam, who was ordered to hurry, was slightly suspicious of why Chriss had stopped the party all of a sudden.

Though Sam had just seen a cheerful smile from his sister, but now he could only see the irritation radiated from his red eyes.

"Are they fighting?" thought Sam as he set foot towards the royal hall.
