"Report the situation." Ares sat in his chair. He just laid Theia in bed. After a long cry Theia finally calmed down and she fell asleep.
"Your Majesty." Rolex is approaching. He put some documents on Ares' desk.
"What's the situation in the capital?" Ares asked as he opened one by one the documents. His hardened face read line by line the document Rolex was carrying.
"All the followers of the Duke West faction have been cleared His Majesty." Answer Rolex briefly.
Duke Ian West's. The western parta faction hostile to Ares. Duke West was the ruler of the Western region of the Bylona Empire. He had a long-standing grudge against Duke Osbern before and could only take revenge on Ares, the current Duke of Osbern. There were only two people who held the title of Duke in the empire. Then for the other two regions, namely east and south, it was controlled by the Marquis.
It is because of Duke West's attack that Ares is injured to forget his memory and saved by Theia. After his memories returned he immediately returned to the Capital and took revenge on Duke West. Ares cleaned all Duke West's followers and his family clean. After Duke West's purge yesterday, Ares became the only high-ranking noble in Bylona. He cast his power so strongly that other nobles shriveled just by passing him.
Actually Ares will not show hostility to people who do not interfere but somehow the purge of the Duke West faction adds to the bad rumors about him.
But Ares is indifferent. He did not care about the rumors surrounding him. There was only one thing that made her care so much, Theia.
"Make sure everything's clean." Ares's word is firm.
Rolex nodded.
"Call the doctor here." Ares Leech.
"Your Majesty."
Ares listened to the doctor's explanation carefully. Doctors spoke at length about Theia's condition and her pregnancy. As Theia's pregnancy goes into its early stages, doctors warn Theia not to be shaken again. The doctor also gave Ares some advice. As forbidden to have sex, pay attention to emotions to any food that is good for early pregnancy.
Ares' forehead shriveled in part 'forbidden to have sex'. Throbbing head. Just now he had almost lost his wits while inhaling the fresh scent from Theia's body. If only they had not engaged in serious talks Ares might have attacked him.
"Until when?"
"Yes Your Majesty?"
"It's forbidden to be intimate." Ares said open.
"Until Miss Theia's state is considered stable Her Majesty."
"When's sampaio?" Ask Ares again.
"Until the age of five months Your Majesty."
That means four more weeks. Ares massaged his temple slowly. It had been quite three months he had not seen Theia, and now he had to refrain from touching her for another four weeks. This time it will definitely be much heavier because Theia is in front of his eyes and Ares is not that patient.
The doctor who saw the change in Ares' face looked down in fear. There were only the two of them in the room. The Ares workspace.
"But if you follow my sara, I think it's okay, Your Majesty."
Ares changed her sitting position closer to the doctor. He listened to the explanation of the doctor full of antusius then a grin appeared on his lips. Like a savage beast that had just been offered tender prey when he was hungry.
The sun had already sunk when the doctor came out of Ares' study. After the doctor died, butler Gion entered.
"Your Majesty." Gion saluted.
Ares lifted his face from the documents Rolex had brought in this afternoon.
Ares nodded.
"For His Majesty's dinner?"
"Prepare in the room only. I'll be there soon."
The butler nodded then withdrew. After the butler left, Ares immediately followed. He left his study and walked to his bedroom.
Ares' usually dark bedroom is now bright. The room that was always quiet because it was occupied by only one person changed. Only one person increased the room felt alive. Mobilization in and out of the room also adds to the atmosphere. Some new female servants came today, those who would serve Theia.
Ares had cleaned his body in another room and now he was wearing a bathrobe tied up. With his hair still wet Ares returned to his bedroom. When Ares came in, Theia was sitting in a small chair and her hair was being combed by the maid. Because Ares' room is designed to be occupied by men, there is no furniture specifically for women. Like a dresser and so on. As a result one of the servants held the glass the other was busy taking care of Theia. When they saw Ares' presence, the waiter stopped their work.
Ares walked over to Theia. "Leave it to me and you can get out." Said Ares by hand asking for a comb from the servant's hand.
The room became quiet as the waiter left the two of them. Ares gently combed Theia's hair.
"After this let's have dinner together." Ares opened his voice.
Theia did not answer.
"Are you still mad at me?"
Theia still did not answer.
Ares put down the comb then walked towards the front of Theia. He lowered his body then knelt on Theia's lap. Theia gasps. His body immediately tensed.
"Have you started punishing me?" Ares asked in a low voice.
Theia turned her eyes.
"They're..." Ares pulled Theia's chin to look at him.
"Well, what do you want Theia? How do I get you to forgive me?" Ares is desperate.
Theia shook her head weakly. Actually Theia herself was confused. He wanted to forgive Ares but also did not want to forgive him. Emotion's terrible. When he woke up, the doctor came to see him to examine his body. The doctor also explained some of the conditions she will experience during pregnancy. The doctor's explanation was justified by Theia because she experienced it. Like emotional changes, sensitive and easy to cry.
The doctor advised her to be more careful to control her emotions because it could affect her fetal development. The doctor also asked her to work with Duke during her pregnancy. The affection between the mother and father will make the fetus develop well. Theia gulped her saliva upon hearing the doctor's last explanation.
Finally Theia only nodded as the doctor left the room. Doctor's right, he can't possibly continue to be selfish. It's all for his son. There is no problem between him and Ares. Ares has also apologized even though he hasn't explained everything. Theia will wait. Theia willing. He had to make up with Ares for the sake of their son.
"I, I miss you." Said Theia lirih.
Ares who looked at him from earlier was shocked. The smile on his lips immediately burst out.
"Really?"
Theia nodded in embarrassment.
"I miss you more Theia. Very." Very." Ares pulled Theia's body and hugged her. The warmth immediately spread throughout his body. Ares' body loosened as the heavy weight on his shoulders had been lifted.
