The Marrying The Prince

43

Ferdinand opened the door of their connecting room while massaging his throbbing back temple. When the door opened, Ruth was still there.

"Yo-"

Ruth's words immediately stopped as Ferdinand directly pressed his mouth to his lips, then gave an order with his gaze for Ruth to come out.

The understanding Ruth immediately nodded obediently and headed straight for the exit of the room.

After the exit closed, Ferdinand who was still standing in front of the connecting door started to step over to get closer to Anastasia's bed. To the bed where Anstasia fell asleep.

His body looked small as it sank into a thick blanket. The sight made Ferdinand smile furiously and progressively stepped towards the side of the bed. Very slowly, Ferdinand landed his buttocks on the chair where Ruh was sitting.

Earlier, while at the dinner table and Anastasia who was suddenly frightened and then cried to sleep, Ferdinand himself took her straight to the room. Laying him down and asking Ruth to accompany him.

Ferdinand returned a smile as he looked at Anastasia's sleeping face.

Beautiful, Anatasia is very beautiful even when she is asleep. It felt very anxious to touch and touch that calm and gentle face.

Wh why? why would they treat Anastasia so badly? What did this girl do that she deserved all the cruelty?

"Say, where does Ana hurt?"

Unknowingly Ferdinand muttered weakly and softly, so slowly that it resembled a whisper. His hand was also involuntarily stretched out to touch Anastasia's forehead which was piled with hair.

Soft, smooth, and pleasant. Touching Anastasia's face was so much fun that it made Ferdinand swipe down to touch her nose, jawbone, chin, then lips.

Lips, sweet lips that he smelled at the wedding. Sweet lips are very beautiful when in the face especially when in the pangut. The shadow about the taste of Anastasia's lips made Ferdinand's thumb continue to wipe the rannum's lips. With great care, Ferdinand stroked the texture and shape of the beautiful lips that were now very tempting to him.

Ferdinand bit his lips as Anastasia moved his lips, her hands raised and floated above Anatasia's face as Anastasia's head moved slightly. But the hand came back again when Anastasia had calmed down.

Back, Ferdinand's fingers stroked Anatasia's cheeks. The taste of Anastasia's skin that felt her sense of civilization really made Ferdinand want to continue touching her.

I don't know how many minutes Ferdinand spent staring and touching the face of Anatasia until finally he realized. Slowly, Ferdinand pulled out his hand, then his butt.

"Great dream, Ana"

After his goodnight speech, Ferdinand raised his lips from the ear to Anastasia's forehead. Land one soft kiss at the temple, then completely straighten her legs to return to her room.

--000--

Their first morning breakfast was filled with thoughtful hand movements and mouth movements. Anastasia was busy with her thoughts and Ferdinand was busy with her thoughts. Until finally, they finished eating and Anastasia started the conversation.

"I'm sorry, I came back last night for a little headache"

Ferdinand casually nodded with a smile.

"No problem, you're probably tired of Ana"

Ferdinand replied casually and as if he already knew. Already knew what Anastasia was going to talk about because she was the one who asked Ruth to hide what happened to Anstasia last night.

Ruth had told Ferdinand that she had found Anastasia like that, and the next day, Anastasia would forget everything, so Ferdinand would follow Anastasia's will. Anatasia wants to hide her fear problem.

Staring at the window that showed a bright spring morning sky, Ferdinand smiled and turned his gaze to Anastasia.

"Want a walk?"

Ferdinand's offer made Anastasia look at him confusedly

"Don't you go to knight camp?"

Holding his butt from the chair, Ferdinand unceremoniously asked Anastasia's hand.

"I'm newly married and can't go straight to work Ana"

The hand that Ferdinand had asked and said made Anastasia smile while giving her hand. Both eyes were as blue as the clear sky sparkling happily.

"Thank you"

Carrying Anastasia's hand, Ferdinand returned a handsome smile.

"There's something I want to show you"

Anastasia's head nodded while letting Ferdinand take their steps.

"What?"

"Something that's not very special, but I hope pretty and...." Ferdinand searched to look at Anastasia who was already looking at him with a big smile. "I hope you like it"

They walked towards the back garden of the castle, Ferdinand occasionally opened a chat and occasionally Anastasia opened the chat, until the beautiful scenery in front of him stopped Anastasia's steps.

"flower gardens?"

The happy sparkle, the two eyes glazed, with the hue of the cheeks reflected by the morning light makes Anastasia very charming.

Anastasia still continued to enjoy the scenery in front of him until she did not realize Ferdinand's hand had been stretched out to slip his flying hair.

Anastasia froze as Ferdinand's fingers touched her ears, tucking her strands of wind-struck hair. With her heart beating fast, Anastasia dared to turn her head, to look at the two green-leafed eyeballs dazzling Ferdinand. When their line of sight met, Ferdinand's fingers moved rubbing Anastasia's cheeks.

"Beautiful"

With an increasingly frenzied heartbeat, Anastasia gave a brief nod

"Yes, this garden is beautiful Ferdinand"

Ferdinand bit his cheek, because what he said was not for the garden. The spontaneous speech was to describe what she was looking at now, the beautiful Anastasia.

"Want to go in there?"

"Yes"

Finally Ferdinand lowered his hand from Anastasia's face and again guided their steps. Ferdinand immediately brought Anastasia to enter the flower garden

"Woah, this is so beautiful Ferdinand"

Now, Ferdinand was again enjoying the happy twinkle of Anastasia's face. And he liked it so much, a happy twinkle and the look on Anastasia's face. It is just a flower garden.

"Actually I wanted to show you this yesterday, but as you know, I fell asleep in the afternoon and I don't think it's a good idea to see this in the dark afternoon"

With a blurry vision and constantly staring at the surroundings filled with flowers, Anastasia said a soft word that came out of all her heart feelings.

"Thank you Ferdinand"

"It's just Ana's little thing"

Anastasia shook her head strongly

"This is the most beautiful little thing I've ever had"

Ferdinand smiled softly. Even just because of a flower garden he had created by ordering people in origin, Anastasia was already on the verge of crying.

"Let's go down"

Enthusiastically, Anastasia nodded strongly and stepped vigorously. Ferdinand sensed that, the spirit in Anastasia's movements, and once again he was very fond of those overexcited moves.

Until the middle of the flower cave, Anastasia stopped her steps. Ferdinand stopped his steps to look at Anastasia.

"Why?"

The head of Anastasia turned to the side, to reply to Ferdinand's question-filled gaze

"Ferdinand, I remember our last conversation before I went back to the room last night. About that-"

"Don't think about An, I remember your answer and I agree with that too"

"agreed?"

With no doubt Ferdinand nodded, his body moving while pulling both of Anastasia's shoulders, to make their position come face to face.

"Listen to Ana" Ferdinand's gaze turned serious as he looked at the nervous Anastasia waiting for her to say. "I'm not a good man, but I promise I'll try to learn to be a good husband to you"

After Ferdinand spoke, silence enveloped them. Anastasia tried to find the maximum in Ferdinand's words, and Ferdinand without hesitation waited for Anastasia's reply. Until Anastasia's breath was heard

"Do you understand the meaning of Ferdinand's 'good husband?"

Ferdinand nodded briefly, his gaze fixedly and determinedly looking at Anastasia.

"I know Ana, that's why I need your help, please help me. You understand my max?"

The love.... Anastasia needed that to help Ferdinand to be a good husband, so that he would continue to keep their holy marriage, so that Ferdinand could forget his lover.

But.... Can Anastasia?

Did Ferdinand really intend to forget his lover? Was he wrong in taking Ferdinand's word?

Anastasia took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry Ferdinand, but I don't really understand the 'max' you're maxing out"
