Chapter 130: Beas Feelings

I forgot about my wedding anniversary.

When I was still in JapanI heard something about this.

That when the husband forgets about the wedding anniversary, the wife resents him, and the conjugal relations get colder.

I must avoid this no matter what.I must get to Bea even one second faster!!

I clad myself in the entirety of my magic power and ran at top speed through the imperial capital at night.

I heard all sorts of screams but I didnt care.

Since my top priority was Bea, I ignored all that and hurried to get to her room.

Welcome back, master. Oh? Those flowers?

Suu, is Bea still awake?

I arrived at my room and Suu was waiting there with a surprised expression.

Hm? Theres no way Suu doesnt know about my wedding anniversary.

Whats going on?

The madam is drinking some tea on the terrace. She put young lady Wis to sleep after a long cry, so I believe shes taking a break.

I seeAbout the wedding anniversary

Wedding anniversary? Ah, in a few moments and it will be today.

In a few moments?..Damn you, mother-in-law, you tricked me!?

.No, she actually showed consideration.

Understood. I want to be alone with her for a while.

As you wish.

Grinning, Suu left the room.

Youre anxious to please madam with those flowers, right? I get it, her facial expression was saying this and I wanted her to stop.

Its been a hard day, isnt it, Bea? Today is our wedding anniversary, right? Please accept these.

Eh?

Bea was sitting in a chair on the terrace and I approached her from behind and called out to her.

She turned around and I saw that she was crying.

Wh-wh-wh-wh-whats wrong, Bea!? Did someone make you cry? Ill go destroy that person so tell who it is!?

Zest-samaZest-samaaaaaaaaaa!!

Bea jumped at me and continued to cry even louder.

I brushed her hair lightly and waited for her to stop crying.

Did you calm down?

Yes.But, I didnt want you to see me like this. Its too embarrassing.

The flowers were now scattered about the terrace and we sat down on them.

Actually, to be more precise, Bea was sitting on my lap.

I was sitting cross-legged on the floor, but I was all right since it wasnt a particularly cold season.

What made you feel this sad? Will you tell me?

Its not like I was sad. Urm, ever since before getting birth, I have many moments when I feel this way.

Bea started to speak, hesitantly and feeling embarrassed.

If I were to make a summary of what shes told me, it would be something like this.

About the time her belly started to grow, all these things started.

During the day she felt irritated and during the night she felt like crying.

Apparently, she was repeating this cycle every day.

&ldqu

o;Thats why, I didnt want to burden Zest-samawith something as trivial as this.

She was aware of it, but she couldnt stop.

After the birth, everything was supposed to go back to how things were before.But she couldnt put this into words, so Bea continued, while crying.

But, this time is the babyWis cry woke me up and I couldnt calm down these feelings anymore.

Am I being strange? If I continue to act like this, Zest-samawill start to hate and hell cast me aside.

It seems that she kept thinking of these things.

Sigh..

Without realizing, I let out a long sigh.

Bea was shocked by my reaction.

I am sorry. Zest-sama, I will be careful from now on!

Youre wrong, Bea. This sigh was directed to myself.Sorry. Im really sorry for not realizing what you were going through.

Bea, who wanted to apologize herself, looked at me blankly and I continued to brush her hair lightly.

Since I am older, I shouldve paid more attention. We will soon choose a nursing mother so until then I will help you change diapers and everything. Besides, for you to feel this way is not strange at all. Its normal, so dont worry about it. I will never hate you.

Is itnormal? But my mother didnt.

There are individual differences after all. There are women who dont go through this, but many women actually do. Thats why, theres no need for you to feel unease, Bea. You only have to depend on me and let me spoil you.

But, arent you angry? Dont you hate the me I am right now?

With her face red and full of tears, Bea looked at me.

I allowed such a young woman to worry about these things all by herself, I am such a shameful man.

Ah, my only wife is Beatrice. I do love you, and I will from now on tooNo matter what happens, this will never change. On the contrary, if I ever go bald and you will start to hate me, I will still chase after you.

YesYes! Ufufu, its all right, though. If Zest-samaever becomes like that, I will still love you.

Bea finally smiled and I embraced her, then I kissed her after a long time.

On the terrace illuminated only by moonlight, we started to.

Master, excuse me. His Majesty

Suu. As you can see, Im right in the middle of something.

Suu. Read the situation.

The both of us were in the middle of relieving the tension that has built between us.

We couldnt stop midway.

Yes. I do understand, but his Majesty.

If its a messenger, let them wait. If its a letter, leave it here.

Geez, that Emperor.Ill ask Toto-chanto send his wig flying again.

We told Suu as we kept kissing, but it seems like this wasnt the case.

Urm, his Majesty is here.

You two, Im sorry to intrudeBut will you please stop extinguishing my wig?

Well, well, being young is amazing. They do it in such a place even.

Their Majesties sneaked on the terrace.

We both hurried to stand and salute them.

This is bad, very bad!!

Please excuse us! Your Majesties!

We-we were being impolite!

Its all right. We suddenly intruded anyway. Right?

Yes, its not an official visit after allPlease stop the wig thing.

The Emperor was holding down his head and the Empress was smiling, her face red.

Just when did they even arrive here?

I feel like I just watched a lovely scene.

Yes, if they do it on the terrace.everyone outside hears it.

Please stop the wig thing.

The Empress and Suu were making a fuss over this.

In this case, I must do something in order not to hurt the Empress mood.

Youve caught us in an embarrassing situation.

Ah, I never imagined that her Majesty the Empress would hear us.

We never had faces as red as now, but the Empress kindly informed us.

Theres no need at all to feel embarrassed, you know? It was a wonderful talk after all! If he goes bald, youll continue to love him, right?

Yes, your Majesty the Empress. Ill love him even bald.

If I ever go bald, please take care of me, Bea.

.Again, youre talking about hair.again.

Your Majesty the Emperor, youre slightly off.

Suu, fix him back.

And so, the curtain raised over the midnight clandestine meeting with their Majesties.
