The Vampire King's Storage Waiter

Chapter 21. Because I'm your Husband

“The lead is not too bad. Her Royal Highness Princess Floretta only felt shock and also experienced symptoms of hypotemia. So he just needs to rest and stay warm,” said the doctor who examined the wife of the vampire king.

“Thank God. Thank you, Whitney White,” Alden said to be relieved.

Floretta heard two men talking. The woman from the human race blinked her eyes. However, his eyelids were still too heavy to open.

“Sama-sama, Your Majesty. I think His Majesty can go back to the room and rest. Me and the nurses who will be on guard here,” Whitney said.

“Nothing. I'll rest here and wait for him to wake up,” Alden refused.

“But His Majesty must have felt very tired, after fighting the thugs and traveling long ago,”, said Whitney again.

“Do you know why Princess Floretta escaped from the palace? He is uncomfortable with our nation. So I don't want to let her feel alone and scared anymore. I'll accompany her here until she wakes up.”

Alden was adamant on his stance. The vampire king took out a pillow and placed it on the sofa. The plan was that the man would straighten his body for a moment there, until the wife woke up.

The king's personal physician did not obey the king's orders. He stood facing Alden, then asked an unexpected question.

“Why does His Majesty always save him? Though His Majesty knew, someone who ran away from the palace would be considered a traitor. And the person who helped him was also branded as a criminal. This will be a new reason for the board members to depose His Majesty.”

“I'm just like him. Feeling lonely, despite being in a crowded place. And no one understands my heart. Only when with him do I feel alive again,” said Alden Black.

“After all, I brought him here. So I have to take full responsibility for him,” continued Floretta's husband again.

Floretta who accidentally heard the chatter shed her tears. He did not expect that Alden would break the law to save him.

“I did not expect, it turns out His Majesty the King can behave this romantic. Though since the first His Majesty is most anti-equal women, including me,” said Whitney White.

“Ehem! You want to praise me or drop me, anyway?” alden pretended to be angry.

“Hahaha, that's not what I meant. But I'm happy if Your Majesty finally feels happy,” reply to the woman who once liked Alden.

“Because of that, I will stay here to accompany my wife. I feel guilty for freaking her out, during my stay here,” Alden said.

“Alright if Your Majesty wants to stay here. If you need something, we will come soon,” said Whitney and resigned.

After Whitney left, Floretta opened her eyelids. He was no longer surprised, seeing himself lying in the luxurious room of the king. It had only been a few days, Floretta was already used to the luxury there.

“Floretta, are you awake? Does anything hurt? Doctor just left.” Alden came with a thick blanket, and spread it over Floretta's body.

“Uhm, yes? We're at the palace?” said Floretta then.

“Yes, we have arrived at the palace. You fell asleep during the trip,” Alden said while taking his eyes off the wife. He hides the fact that they went home first to the palace by teleportation.

The vampire king then turned on the room's warmers. The temperature this winter is extreme. Humans like Floretta would not be able to withstand the cold air in the vampire world, which was much lower many times than the human world.

“Weather on the border is very bad. So I have not been able to take you to the human world,” Alden said gently. “But I promise to take you back to the human world, if things are safe,” continued the vampire king.

“You feel uncomfortable here, right? I won't force you to stay here again. You can go back to the human world, and choose a servant from your own people,” explained Alden.

Floretta's forehead was getting wrinkled to hear the husband's words. It's true that Floretta doesn't feel comfortable living in the middle of those vampires. But Alden's good attitude still made him suspicious. Especially after hearing Alden's sentence about his secret plan.

“Why did you save me again?” floretta said softly.

Although she had heard the same question from Whitney, Floretta still wanted to hear it in person.

“Huh? why are you talking about it?” reply Alden with a frown.

“I am just an orphan. No academic degree, no possessions, no face. Why do you keep saving me? What's reason?” Floretta repeated the question more fully.

“Hahaha? Reason?” Alden laughed at Floretta's words just now.

“Kok even laughed, anyway? I'm serious, loh,” urged Floretta with a sullen face.

“Why should there be a reason to save you? Isn't it the husband's responsibility to protect his wife?” sahut Alden with a faint smile.

It turned out that Alden's answer was different from the one given to Whitney, even though the question was the same.

“S-husband?”

Floretta turned her gaze quickly, before the handsome face of the vampire king returned to upset her heart.

“Iya. I'm your husband, right? And the important thing you should know. Without a university diploma and a certificate of land of thousands of hectares you remain valuable in my eyes. So do not feel inferior,” continued the vampire king again.

Floretta could feel his heart beating faster. His cheeks also warmed up a little, hearing the king's confession. Only Alden sacrificed himself many times to protect him.

“While my blood doesn't taste good?” floretta said doubtfully.

“Yes, even if your blood doesn't taste good. You remain precious in my eyes,” Alden replied confidently.

“I still don't trust you, Al. You kept too many secrets behind me,” Floretta said, after calming her heart.

Alden rubbed the back of Floretta's cold hand like a pile of ice. Normally Floretta would dance his hands out of sheer unease. But this time he just let it go.

“I'm not forcing you to trust me. That's why I want to send you back to the human world, if you feel uncomfortable here. I feel guilty because you want to run away from here,” Alden said.

“But if you ask for a divorce, I can only grant it in six months. Until all the wedding gifts I gave, have been re-named in your name,” continued Alden again.

Floretta raised her face, and looked into the husband's eyes fixedly. Again, he found no lies there.

“Is this vampire king honest, or a professional actor until his goal is met?” inner Floretta.
