The Happy Ending Love Story

More Than Love, This Is Destiny #12

"What are you doing without me?"

Suddenly a hand wrapped around Theia's waist. He was overwhelmed by the presence of someone. His voice was low and his face was now in the recess of his neck. Theia slightly turned her head and looked at Ares who was smearing his open shoulder.

"Your Majesty." Theia.

"Ares, call me Theia. You promised me last night." Pinta Ares bit Theia's shoulder leaving a small red stain.

Theia nodded. His eyes closed as Ares bit his shoulder. It was like being bitten by a beast. His eyes opened again and he looked around, ashamed of Ares' actions in front of the servants. But when Theia looked around there was no one. Theia searched where the servants had been surrounding her.

Theia had no idea that people were leaving immediately when she saw Ares approaching.

"Do you like flowers?"

Theia nodded. His hand lifted a bunch of flowers picked by the gardener earlier.

"What flowers do you like?"

"Everything." Theia replied with a smile on her lips. "Particularly beautiful." Theia blushed in embarrassment.

They were not facing each other but their bodies were clinging to each other. Ares hugged Theia from behind. His hand continued to stroke Theia's round belly.

"I don't know much about flowers. If you want I can make a garden near the main building."

"no need. I've seen enough of it here, elsewhere there are also many parks. Creating a garden will definitely cost you a lot of money."

Ares pulled Theia's body to face him.

"Theia, your husband is rich. You don't have to worry." Obviously Ares with his hand stroking Theia's cheek.

Theia bengong's. Although Ares is rich but making a garden is not an easy job and Theia does not want to do it. There are many parks in the mansion. For Theia, that was more than enough.

"Ah, aren't you in a political meeting?" Tanya Theia suddenly remembered.

"Yes, I'm having a meeting with the subordinates." Ares pointed to the building that was right to the left of the park.

"You must be busy."

"Yes that's how." Ares replied reluctantly. If possible, he'd still want to be near Theia. She did not want to see Theia smiling at the other man.

"Go back, I've picked enough flowers."

"Other times wear more covered clothes. It's cold outside Theia."

Ares took off his outer shirt and placed it on Theia's exposed shoulder. The clothes she was wearing were the servant's choice and Theia was comfortable as they asked Theia for her approval first. According to Theia the air is not cold either. Hot though. But he kept quiet and accepted what Ares had given him. Theia replied with a smile.

"Hurry back. It's cold outside." Ares looked down and kissed her round stomach.

Their meeting was brief and Theia did not expect Ares to come to her. Happiness filled his heart. They made peace last night. With a light step Theia returned to her room with flowers in her hands. Today she wants to make flowers.

Curiosity was born everywhere. One of Duke Osbern's followers accidentally saw the window and his eyes were wide open. He stood up and invited others to follow him. Some people peered from the gap of the open curtain and others tiptoed to look.

A low boisterous voice sounded. Rolex who was not far from them breathed deeply. He is unable to control the situation.

"Is that the Duchess?"

"Lord see, a happy face dripped from the Duke. That creepy duke look at it."

"Is the Duchess pregnant? Since then the Duke stroked the Duchess's stomach. Oh, my God."

"Yes I agree. Duchess's stomach is slightly round."

"When did they get married? Why aren't we invited?"

"Don't we need to discuss this with Duke."

"Yes I agree."

The Duke's followers formed a discussion circle while standing near the open curtain. Rolexes who were still paying attention were rendered helpless. The situation has changed rapidly. He just kept silent to see the change in the situation.

"Duke's back!." Someone jockeying and just contact the followers who were in the group back to their respective seats and the atmosphere was calm again.

"You've returned Your Majesty." Count Aster, the ruler of the Aster region opened his voice. He was the most respected follower because of his age. The Aster region was the longest-serving territory of Duke Osbern.

Ares nodded then sat back down.

"Your Majesty, there's little we want to say. I represent the others." Count Aster asked permission to convey."

Ares nodded back. He straightened his back.

"Your Majesty when are you going to introduce the Duchess to the social gathering?"

Ares' forehead shriveled. They know where Theia came from. Ares hasn't told anyone about Theia. He immediately turned to the curtains that were open and stiffened. From where he sat, he saw the garden outside. Obviously the people inside saw Ares and Theia in the garden.

Ares's face hardened. He got caught, everybody saw Theia. Ares wants to hide Theia for a while. Theia's condition is not completely stable. Doctors also said to keep Theia's emotions in check during this early pregnancy. Ares did not expect Theia's whereabouts to be revealed any sooner.

"If you are willing, I will ask my wife to prepare a meeting for the ladies of His Holiness." Count Aster.

"I also agree Your Majesty, our wives will also definitely be willing to come." The other timpal.

"No. His condition is still unstable. Outside meetings are forbidden." Cut Ares fast.

Tussles happen here. The original followers of Duke Osbern could not be said much or little. Because the northern region had taken over the western region that previously belonged to Duke West made many followers who came including from the west. So the hall is almost full.

"If so we can arrange for a meeting at the mansion of His Highness the Duke." Marquis Howart the ruler of the Howart region corroborated Count Aster's statement.

Many of the heads of the family now crawl under Ares' feet after he took control of the Western territories. Ares's power was limitless if he wanted to overthrow the Bylona Empire by forming his own state because the north and west were the most vast and fertile regions of Bylona. But Ares did not, so many nobles licked his feet.

"No. Excessive activity is also prohibited." Reject Ares firmly.

"Only meeting the wives for tea, Your Majesty, our wives need to get along with the Duchess. If not now you will surely happen, Your Majesty."

Not a matter of getting along or not, Ares worried about Theia's health. Ares doesn't want to stress Theia out. He knew for sure if Theia felt burdened to be his wife. If Theia gets dragged into Ares's social circle can't imagine. Women's meetings often have arguments. High-ranking nobles tend to intimidate low-ranking nobles. Theia is indeed the Duchess now but the spreaders of the rumor see the origin of Theia will definitely be excited.

Ares is at the conclusion if he should secure Theia. Keep it well like a very valuable item. But the turmoil of the subordinates cannot be ignored just like that.

"Invite your wife to have tea at the mansion next week. Mansion Osbern will host the organizers. Only those who get a special invitation can come. Otherwise the door of the mansion of Osbern would not have allowed them to enter." Ares clearly with a nosediving voice.

Count Aster closed his mouth and then sat back down. There is also a sense of relief of fear. This meeting can be used as an event to strengthen the legitimacy of Duke Osbern's support to the invited family, instead becoming a threat to those who are not invited.

Who knows this gripping atmosphere is a testament to the affection of a husband who does not want his wife to be hurt in the upper class social circles of the nobles.
