The Goddess and the Cursed Prince

22. Letter from the Kingdom of Heaven

Chriss pulled his hand up after finishing the pile of reports before him, "Well, why does my body feel so light?"

When he woke up, he felt no pain as usual. Since his work was done, he came out of the room to check if Ijima had come home or not, Ijima asked him for permission to meet Anya in the city, of course he allowed it.

Brucks

Not paying attention to the road, Chriss bumped into someone and the man was his own wife, judging from his smile looking very happy.

"Have you had a good day?" asked Chriss who made Ijima wrong and distanced herself and then bowed her body a little.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty."

Chriss secretly edited the smrik then held his field chest, "Hm, it hurts to be hit like that."

The woman immediately panicked, "I'll call the healer!"

As Ijima was about to leave, Chriss pulled his arm back into the chest of the man's field.

"I don't need it, what if you accompany me to relax this time?" bargaining Chriss that made Ijima nod in agreement, after all he also felt guilty for bumping into Chriss earlier.

...👑...

Ijima's eyes sparkled to see the place that Chriss made with his magic, they held a tea ceremony together in the middle of the lake. Lots of flowers beautify the place.

"It's so beautiful" Ijima said.

The two of them enjoyed the tea while telling stories, as if there was no burden they were carrying.

"I misjudged you, Ijima. I thought you were a weak woman who happened to be born of a goddess but the truth slapped me at the time, your strength far outstripped me" Chriss pointed out blatantly that he acknowledged the power of his wife.

Feeling happy because he was praised made both of Ijima's cheeks flushed red, "You're also great."

The two went back to being silent like they were wrestling with their own thoughts.

"If you may know, when will my decline to queen be implemented?"

Chriss turned his tea clockwise his gaze turned sour, "I haven't thought about it."

"We have to do that immediately" Ijima said after drinking her green tea.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Achlys still needs you."

Chriss' jaw hardened, wanting to say that what he wanted now was not Maki but Ijima. Chriss is already in love with his brother's ex-lover.

"Well, I'm going to have a meeting soon with the Neoma higher-ups" Chriss broke up with an unsteady heart.

Deg

Suddenly Ijima felt a pain in his heart, he believed the monster was still rebelling and wanted to return to Chriss' body, seeing the suspicious wife's gurgle made Chriss furrow his eyebrows.

"You why?" ask Chriss.

Ijima smiled awkwardly then flicked his right palm, "I'm fine, maybe I'm exhausted."

The man sighed slowly, "You should obey my words," said Chriss, upset when Ijima refused to use the horse-drawn carriage and chose to walk, she thought she could be like a hunter.

"I appreciate Anya, she doesn't like riding the horse carriage."

"So you're thinking more about the hunter than your health?" chriss asked even more annoyedly, "Go back to the room and rest."

"But how is this tea? You've prepared it with great difficulty," Ijima refused.

Chriss closed his eyes for a moment then opened them again, "We can do it next time."

"Queen Ijima!" someone shouted from the lake. The name owner turned his head while narrowing his eyes to see who was calling him.

"That's Annie's maid, Your Majesty can we go back?" Chriss nodded, with a flick of them already behind the lady.

Dayang Annie bowed slightly as a sign of respect, "Sorry to interrupt the leisurely time of Her Majesty and the Queen."

"It's all right, what's it gonna take for Annie's ladies to call me?" asked the curious Ijima with the paper scroll held by his personal servant.

Dayang Annie handed the scroll to Ijima, "There's a letter from the goddess Emina for you."

Hearing the name of the goddess Emina, he quickly opened the paper, Chriss also read it.

The contents of the letter told Ijima to come to the sky kingdom tomorrow, Ijima's hand shook nervously. Perhaps he will be judged by the leader of the heavens.

"Are you coming?" ask Chriss.

Ijima nodded, "This is the order of the goddess Emina, as the next future leader of the heavens I must come."
