(From Blue''s Perspective)


    "Did Mother say that?"


    "Yes, she will take the carriage," Dem replied. Mother suddenly sent a word saying that she was not going teleport and that she would ride a carriage. "She will take the shortcut along with other soldiers."


    "I am d. The fewer people to teleport, the less power I have to use," Luc said.


    Though Dem and Luc looked very normal about it, I was kind of worried about teleporting. I was worried that what if part of me was teleported, like half of me would teleport.


    Ruby was kind of anxious, but she did not have the same type of fear as me. And as for Perita, she was excited. It was their first time to teleport as well.


    "Don''t worry. You won''t even feel anything," Luc said. "Well, you might feel like your head is spinning after reaching there. But you''re gonna sleep there anyway. It''s nighttime there too, just two hours ahead of us."


    Luc told us to connect to him by holding hands. Dem held my hand and Luc''s hand, which was like barely touching him. Perita held my other hand and Ruby held Luc''s and Perita''s hand. Ruby looked a bit ufortable, holding Luc''s hand and her face was very red.


    "Seriously? Just what''s wrong with holding my hand?" Luc barked at Dem who just shrugged.


    "Skin to skin contact is disgusting," he said.


    "Skin to skin contact? You''re holding your wife''s hand so tightly that it doesn''t seem like you will let go at all," Luc said, pointing at our entwined hands with his eyes.


    "That''s cause she is my wife and an exception," Dem replied. "Don''t make things troublesome and just do it already."


    Luc muttered something under his breath, perhaps cursed at Dem, and then closed his eyes. Everyone closed their eyes as well, perhaps following Luc, except me and Dem.


    A bluish aura spread around us creating a circle in the air. The color was captivating.


    "It''s the color of your eyes," Dem whispered into my ear. "It''s beautiful."


    Before I could see more of it, there was this feeling of being pushing my body through a storm.


    "Huh...," I almost fell to the ground by the time the feeling stopped if it was not Dem who caught me quickly. The ground was different. We had reached Ataraxia already.


    "Ah, greetings, King and Queen of Ataraxia."


    Hearing the deep voice, I looked up and found an old man with a long beard beaming at us. I had seen his portrait before. He was the king of Ataraxia.


    "Greetings, King of Ataraxia," I said formally and Dem just nodded a bit.


    "My, my... The Queen of Querencia sure is very graceful," he beamed and kissed the back of my left hand. "Wee to Ataraxia. Hope you have a pleasant stay."


    Beforeing here, I had been taking etiquette lessons and learning the basic things about everything. Since I was sick most of the time, Dem could not bring an instructor for me. I just learned everything from books that were made for kids of the Royal family and Ruby helped me as well.


    She brought the portraits of important members of the political world and told me all the important things about them.


    But what I hated the most was the way to address other kings and queens. Like I had to address the king of Ataraxia, saying ''King Of Ataraxia''. The same went for other kings and queens. It was very tiring to say it all the time I needed to talk to him.


    The king himself showed us our bedroom. I heard that Dem was feared a lot and that was the reason, even the king of Ataraxia was very careful as to how to treat him.


    On the way, we met the Queen as well. She was actuallying to greet us as well. She had golden hair and green eyes, while the king had silver hair and blue eyes. Compared to Mother, she was not that beautiful, but her moves were very elegant.


    "Are you feeling dizzy now as well?" Dem asked, as we finally got to go to our room. It was huge. A living room and a bedroom were attached together and both of them were enormous along with a huge bath. Well, our bedroom at the Querencia Pce was the same.


    "Hmm... I think it''s because I am sick, I am feeling dizzier," I said. "And I feel..."


    "What''s wrong?" he quickly asked, seeing me pressing my palm over my mouth in a panic.


    "Toilet...," I managed to mumble.


    Dem quickly picked me up and took me to the toilet. I bent over the basin as soon as he put me down.


    I did not want him to see this disgusting sight. ''Just get out of here. Seriously!''


    But he did not go out. He tied my hair in a bun so it would not fall on my face and gently rubbed my forehead, pressing his palm against it.


    "Thankfully, I made you eat beforeing here," he muttered.


    I let everything out that I had eaten beforeing here. "You... You should have stayed outside. It''s disgusting... and smelly..."


    "I don''t care," he shrugged and helped me clean my face.


    ''This guy...''


    "I feel less dizzy," I said. "But I think I need to lie down."


    "It''s fine. Take some rest. I will tell the maids to clean it up," he said.


    "But the Queen said that our servings are prepared," I said. "Won''t it be disrespectful if I don''te down?"


    "It''s fine," he said. "You are sick. Your healthes first. Just don''t think about anything and lie down. I will get your food here."


    I could not say anything else. I truly was not feeling okay. But I also did not likeying down all the time.


    I closed my eyes and tried to rx. Teleportation was harder than I thought it would be. Perhaps because I was sick, the effect was too much for me.


    "Are you alright, Your Highness? His Highness told me that you are not feeling okay," Ruby eximed as she came hurriedly.


    The maids the pce of Ataraxia assigned me were working silently. They asked me if I needed anything though... But I said no. I just wanted to rest.


    "Hmm... My head hurts a bit."


    "Did you take the medicines?"


    "Dem gave them to me in time," I replied. With a husband like Dem and a maid like Ruby around, I did not need to worry about anything. Even when I told them not to, they kept taking care of me as if I could not do anything on my own. Sometimes it was good, but sometimes it was excessive.


    "Then is it because of the teleportation? I mean, I felt a bit dizzy too, but that''s just for a while. I think it''s because Your Highness''s health is weak, you are feeling like this," she said. "Should I massage Your Highness''s forehead?"


    "That would be great."


    "I think His Highness made the best decision," she muttered as she began to gently massage my forehead.


    "What do you mean?" I asked.


    "His Highness made sure that no one will disturb Your Highness all this time," she said. "I think His Highness told the King of Ataraxia himself about this."


    "I see..."


    "And also, kings and queens usually stay in two different bedrooms. Since His Highness knew that they would arrange two different rooms for you, he sent a letter before saying that there should be only one room for Your Highness and His Highness."


    "But why do they stay in two different rooms? Is it because they have their own harems?"


    "I think it''s mostly because of privacy reasons. Kings and Queens, mostly marry due to political reasons. Because of that, they bear none to little romantic feelings towards each other. The harem is also a part of the whole thing."


    "I don''t think I like it. I don''t like the idea of marrying someone without loving them?"


    It was true that I was married like that as well, but we never stayed in different rooms and Dem apanied me more than enough. And I could not help falling for him. Actually, both of us actively tried to talk to each other and improve our rtionship. Though we had our problems, we were very close and talked to each other about everything.


    "I don''t like it as well. I am the one lover or one spouse at once type," Ruby said. "I mean, just because you''re a Royal doesn''t mean you have so high of sexual desires that you need to do it with more than one person. I don''t mean to be rude, Your Highness."


    Ruby was talking in hushed tones lest others should hear it. I chuckled hearing her say it with that tone. It seemed like she definitely despised it.


    I was d that my husband was not that type. If he was, I would surely never love him and leave him one way or another. Because no matter how much he loved me, if he did it with other women, that was a big no for me.
