Ferdinand smiled brightly as they had already reached the port of Francia. His nose breathed deeply into the air of Francia he loved. His direction stared fixedly at the kingdom that he missed so much
With both of his hands still holding his wife, Ferdinand had to move slowly as Francesca began to step down from the ship. Francesca, who understood Ferdinand's situation, slowed down her path while occasionally taking care of Anastasia, then occasionally looked for Tomy who was looking for their invitation.
Behind them. Carl, Xander, Farel, Gregory, Lincont, and Solar are busy carrying boxes of their clothes. Until Tomy finally appeared with Lucas and a best golden knight in the Solar class, the man who was the same age as Anastasia was quickly headed to Francesca.
"Your Highness, welcome back"
Francesca nodded briefly
"Where's Chris' train?"
Solar's best golden knight, Chris, immediately gave a polite gesture. Giving directions where the horse carriage was already waiting for them.
"Please Your Highness"
Without wanting to wait, Francesca immediately stepped towards the direction Chris had pointed. When Francesca started to step up and when their two chariots were seen, Chris immediately opened his voice with a gaze that looked at Francesca and Ferdinand alternately
"Your Highnesses. Message from His Majesty, if this horse-drawn carriage will be delivered directly to Yorksire"
Francesca's head turned to Chris, Ferdinand, who was also about to enter the horse carriage, looked at Chris.
"Why?"
Francesca asked as she looked at Lucas and Chris alternately. Lucas as a senior, went straight ahead to explain
"Actually, there's a bit of a problem about the Barbarian kingdom, Your Highness. The kingdom was planning and coercively wanted to ask His Highness Princess Summer to be the bride of the Crown Prince Barbarus. But because His Majesty always refused, they seemed to be doing the way that was not elegant"
"Will that be a problem?"
Ferdinand immediately asked without wanting to beat around the bush, and Ferdinand's question immediately made Lucas smile while shaking his head.
"His Majesty is already very angry" Lucas searched to see the reaction of Francesca and Ferdinand. The immediate reaction showed that the twins understood how angry their father was. Lucas, who saw that, spoke again. "His Majesty does not want to welcome you who are petty with a little chaos. Because His Majesty wants you to rest in Yorksire only. His Majesty advised not to bother him, because His Majesty really wants to run amok"
After understanding all the explanations of Lucas, Francesca's head immediately nodded briefly. Francecsa's move immediately returned to moving towards the horse carriage. Tomy who saw Francesca's steps, swiftly helped Francesca step into the car immediately.
Ferdinand who saw that Francesca had already entered, very carefully entered the carriage. Her lips smiled again as she got into the carriage with Anastasia still asleep in her arms.
--000--
Both eyes shut Anastasia finally began to twitch. His hand started to raise to scratch his annoyed cheek as Ferdinand continued to kiss him.
Until the moaning sound annoyed Anastasia, making Ferdinand stop landing a kiss bothering her.
"Wake up baby, you haven't eaten yet"
Ferdinand spoke softly while rubbing Anastasia's cheeks with his knuckles.
"Eemm... Where are we?"
"Yorksire"
Anastasia immediately opened her eyes while muttering with a distinctive sound of waking up
"Huh?"
With an amused smile, Ferdinand looked at Anastasia while nodding. He who was also in bed began to explain
"We're at Francia baby, we're at Yorksire now"
With her hands starting to rub her eyes, Anastasia muttered again
"Why not in the palace?"
"The color we need rest"
After waiting for a while to collect his entire life, Anastasia who was finally able to amaze well said Ferdinand immediately jerked while lifting his back from the bed.
"It's Yorksire!"
Ferdinand chuckled amusedly as he lifted his back, his hands helping Anastasia to tidy up the typical hairs of waking up while answering
"Yes, this is Yorksire"
Hearing Ferdinand's very clear answer, without wanting to wait any longer, Anastasia immediately jumped down from the bed. Ferdinand who saw that immediately followed Anastasia's frantic footsteps
"Why An?"
When Anastasia realized that her dress had turned into a nightgown, she hurriedly put on whatever coat she saw, her husband's coat. Ferdinand who saw Anastasia's movements again asked
"Where do you want to go?"
With teary eyes, Anastasia immediately stepped towards the door while answering
"George"
But, Anastasia's footsteps came to a halt as Ferdinand directly held back his hand
"Take An"
The head of Anastasia turned his head, to look at the relaxed looking Ferdinand
"Where can Dinand! George-"
TOK TOK TOK
"Your Highness"
The sound that knocked on the door, the voice that was very familiar with Anastasia, the voice that Anastasia missed, made Anastasia head immediately turned back to look at the door with a smile
"Ruth?"
Ferdinand smiled as he clasped Anastasia's hand.
"Let's have dinner"
With a confused look on her face, Anastasia only complies to follow her husband's steps.
Ferdinand's amused smile came back up when he saw Anastasia's unease. Ferdinand quickly opened the door, and when the door was opened. There Ruth stood with her eyes glazed over at Anastasia.
"Yo-"
"Oh my God! Ruth!"
Ferdinand immediately moved when he saw Ruth's limp body due to Anastasia's embrace attack. With an amused ruckus in the sound of his sobbing, Ruth glanced at Ferdinand who instantly gave a brief nod. A sign that Ferdinand allowed Ruth to return Anastasia's embrace
"Ruth"
By hugging each other tightly and sobbing each other, Ruth and Anastasia had already concentrated on their feelings for each other. Until long enough Ferdinand allowed them to let go of the longing, Ferdinand cleared his throat several times
"An. let's have dinner first"
Anastasia who was finally able to return regained her senses let go of her embrace slowly. Ruth smiled as she helped Anastasia rub her face
"Come on Your Highness, it's all waiting for you"
Replying to Ruth's warm smile, Anastasia nodded obediently and immediately approached Ferdinand who had already raised his hand.
"Let's go baby"
"Yes"
They stepped down the stairs to the dining room. Until their steps arrived at the dining room, there, at the long table of the dining room, Francesca was already sitting on the leader's chair with George in sight? even very healthy!
The fine-looking George sat to the right of Francesca's chair with a warm smile welcoming Anastasia
"Welcome my daughter Anastasia"
Anastasia's lips trembled with a look on her face that looked at Francesca with many questions. Francesca who was on her way just kept quiet without daring to look at Anastasia.
Anastasia, who was finally able to catch the oddity, turned to Ferdinand, who immediately understood the question inside her head
"We'll eat An. We'll talk about it later"
By the time Anastasia and Ferdinand had already taken their respective sitting positions. Ferdinand's position on Francesca's left with Anastasia sitting on Ferdinand's side, immediately linking their hands together so Francesca could immediately start leading the prayers.
After finishing, Francesca again led the table manner which was followed by everyone at the dinner table. Minutes passed in silence, only the soft sound of the clanking of plates filled the entire sound in the dining room. Until finally, fill the plate Francesca toilet and begin to close the table manner that is immediately followed by everyone.
"To the gathering room"
Francesca spoke briefly as she began to move from her chair which was immediately followed by everyone.
When they had gathered, they sat on the sofa facing each other. Anastasia who was impatient finally spewed out her stomach that continued to hamper him.
"So? Which George, who was lying weakly in bed and waiting for his death, Frances?"
Anastasia's incisive insinuation immediately made George and Ferdinand glance at each other for a moment, then join Edward and Tomy to enjoy their audience seats.
Francesca thinned her lips while looking at Anastasia flatly. Her lips began to open to answer Anastasia in a flat voice
"George is in my imagination"
"So you imagined I'd die Frans?"
George immediately stroked Francesca's speech, which made Anastasia immediately swallow the words she was just about to leave
"Sometimes goofy"
Francesca's sinless flat voice made Ferdinand and Edward instantly stare at their laughter. George, who saw the real mockery for her, looked at his favorite grandson with a face that had turned sullen.
"Do you like it when I die sweetheart?"
With a face that did not show the slightest change, Francesca again spoke flat
"Yes, sometimes"
And Francesca's sinless reply for the second time, instantly left Edward and Ferdinand wide open. Anastasia who had been planning to get angry, so undo her intentions. Because it is free, the drought is now immediately subsided. After all, shouldn't Anastasia be grateful that George is okay?
"You broke your heart, Frances. What's my fault, son?"
George's dramatic voice made Ferdinand and Edward instantly stop the laughter from rolling their eyeballs lazily. While Anastasia just chuckled amusedly.
Feeling a little guilty, Francesca answered George in a slightly soft tone.
"Sorry, ak-"
"You're a very old jacka who sucks George. Ck! let alone Frances, me and Edward, every heart always imagines that you die quickly"
After grabbing onto Francesca's words, Ferdinand immediately burst open after speaking. Edward who was also included in his name by Ferdinand did not want to lose to immediately laugh mockingly.
Anastasia continued to chuckle amusedly while looking at George's increasingly wrinkled face because he continued to frown. Anastasia's hand hit Ferdinand's arm hard to stop her husband's laughter. But free, because Ferdinand continued to laugh loudly without caring if George had started pelting himself and Edward with biscuits.
The laughter and teasing in the room continued until they continued to throw jokes and bullies at each other. Couch pillows and biscuits have been scattered because of the actions of all those who are there. Anastasia smiled happily, very happy when she saw the scene, when she heard the laughter of the story. Until his hands began to rub the corner of his watery eyes. The watery ones either because they laugh too much, or because they are too moved.
--000--
Tonight, under the warm summer moonlight, Ferdinand continued to hug his wife's body which was on his lap. Both of Ferdinand's eyes continued to be closed with lips that continued to smile.
Anastasia, who was enjoying her guts, stared at the open window. His direction stared at the star-studded night sky with hands clutching a small box.
The little box that he kept for half his life, the little box that made him so powerful, the little box that brought him to have a family, the little box that delivered him to his beloved, and the little box that made Anastasia want to pursue her happiness.
"I just remembered, if at our first meeting, I always told Jeremmy you were a very sweet little girl. I also always wondered who you were, even though in the palace of Eden everyone said you were only the son of a servant, but I still couldn't believe it until the last day of our visit to Trancia, I finally let go of my curiosity"
Anastasia's lips returned with a big smile as she muttered
"really?"
Ferdinand nodded confidently, then opened both of his eyes to stare out the window. Staring at the night sky while repeating his memories
FLASHBACKS
After seeing Tomy go to deliver a girl who was almost dead because she gave up on a horse, a girl whose head was almost bald and had just been wrapped in her arms by Ferdinand, who had just been killed, Fredrick began to step back to the garden of Eden's palace. Ferdinand finally stopped turning his head towards the departure of Tomy and the little girl, as his father began to step up.
While thinking hard, Ferdinand started humming slowly while continuing to follow his father's steps.
"Jer"
"Yes Your Highness?"
Ferdinand glanced at his towering father before them without any intention of responding.
"Who do you think the little girl with the clear blue eyes was?"
Indifferently, Jeremmy blinked both of his shoulders
"It looks like the son of a servant. Maybe?"
"Hhmm. It doesn't seem like Jer"
Jeremmy glanced at Ferdinand for a moment, then spoke again
"What's the matter, Your Highness?"
Ferdinand hummed again for a moment, then spoke again
"Don't you see the shine of her skin, the line of her face, the softness of her hair, and the sweet face of her Jer? He's too pretty to be a servant's son"
Ferdinand's words made Jeremmy think for a moment, then blinked his shoulders again indifferently
"But from the looks of it, the little girl was very shabby and unkempt, Your Highness. Can't it be if she's a Trancia Princess?"
Although Jeremmy's answer was very reasonable and very logical, but somehow little Ferdinand still could not believe that the little girl was just a servant child. And Ferdinand's thoughts raged, only to return to make Ferdinand hum back slowly while continuing to follow his father's steps.
Without knowing...
If Fredrick, if his father were to keep going and looked unconcerned in front of him, was already grinning meaningfully
FLASHBACK OFF
"I'm sleepy Dinand"
Ferdinand who was still dissolved in his memories, finally came to his senses and immediately raised Anastasia's body quickly.
Anastasia squealed while giggling amusedly as her body, which was being carried by Ferdinand, continued to swirl because it carried her body continuously twisting their body
"Dinand already!!"
Anastasia's laughter continued to echo in the silence of the room, with Ferdinand continuing to twist his body while chuckling. Until long enough he made Anastasia melt by laughing, Ferdinand finally stopped twisting their bodies.
Still in a standing position with both hands carrying Anastasia's body. Ferdinand stared fixedly at Anastasia's face as he smiled and spoke with all his heart
"I love you, love you so much, my wife Anastasia"
Anastasia's hand was raised, to gently caress Ferdinand's jaw while smiling haru. His lips that began to tremble spoke with all of his heart
"I love you too, love you so much my husband Ferdinand"
After hearing Anastasia's reply, Ferdinand glanced as he carried his steps towards the bed
"Tonight, I'm sorry if you won't be able to sleep, baby"
When his body was on the bed, Anastasia returned Ferdinand's eyes with a flirting tease
"Oh my husband, I'm looking forward to it"
And Anastasia's shocking reply, instantly made Ferdinand quickly devour his wife
