(From Blue''s Perspective)


    Dem grabbed my nape and kissed me as he kept moving his hips. I was breathless. Tonight, I wanted more. I just could not satisfy myself. Nothing was enough.


    "Haa... Ahh!"


    "Huh...," he groaned into my ear and licked my earlobe.


    He kept ying with my breasts while his lips marked all over my neck and chest. I felt sudden butterflies in my stomach. My mind was going nk as an orgasm hit me. I tightened up, just like every other time when I reached a climax, but he still tried to go in. He kept moving even though he could enter just a bit, which made the orgasm even crazier and messier.


    "Huh... haa...," I panted.


    He grabbed my arm and pulled me up. He brought my weak body to the opposite side of the bed. I grabbed the wooden board to pull my body up slightly.


    Without a warning, he suddenly pushed forward, entering me from behind. "Ah! Ahh!"


    "Look at yourself. Look at what I am doing to you in the mirror," he whispered into my ear. His warm breath made the hair on my nape stand up.


    That was when it came to my sense that we could be seen in the mirror of the dressing table from that ce. I could clearly see my face and my naked body as well as what he was doing.


    I could not even recognize myself. I was messed up. My face, my ears, my neck, and my chest werepletely red as if I had been suffocating. My eyes were teary and my mouth was open, just like an animal in heat. Dem''s hands were on my waist, tightly holding me in ce. His face was slightly red too.


    In the mirror, I could clearly see how strong he was and how ferocious each of his moves was.


    "Ah! Huh... Oh! Ahh!"


    "Are you seeing this? Are you seeing everything?"


    "Haa... Uhh... Yes! I am..."


    "Seeing yourself getting knocked up by your husband is turning you on more, huh?" he smirked and pounded inside me. I was losing my mind.


    "More... I want more!" I yelled shamelessly.


    "Of course, I will give you more," he muttered and held my neck to pull me back toward him and started pushing me to the end of my limit.


    "Ahh! Uh... Ohh! Ah! Hngh... uhh!"


    I looked into the mirror once again. He looked like a ferocious hungry beast and I looked nothing more than his desperate prey. But this time, the prey was not desperate to flee, but rather have the beast herself.


    "Dem... ahh..."


    "You are driving me crazy, babe..."


    "Haa... hnn..."


    I did not know what time it was when we finally stopped. Dem was too strong and if I told him to go on, he had the energy to do so which was pretty scary. I would have told him to do so as well if I had not been too exhausted to move. My whole body felt numb.


    We had tried a lot of positions tonight and at one point, I did not even remember which ones we did. We did not even talk about which position to try. It just sort of happened.


    "What happened when I was gone?" Dem asked sharply.


    I had my back turned towards him, so I could not see his face. But I knew what expression he had.


    "Nothing much really. Ruby and I had dinner together. I forgot about it. But Calix reminded me. He knows more about my schedule than myself," I said.


    "Nothing else happened?" he asked again.


    "No..."


    "No?"


    "Honey, look at me."


    I turned towards him and met his eyes for a little amount of time. Before I knew it, I started crying again.


    "... I was worried...," I sobbed.


    "Worried? About what?" he asked, touching my cheek gently as ifforting me.


    "I just had this thought... What if you grow sick of me and don''t want me anymore? What if you want to have another wife? What if you just consider me as your ything? And when you will grow bored of me, you will leave me and get someone else. I just...


    I know you love me and it was really stupid of me to think this way when you give me so much love and attention... But I just could not stop myself from getting worried. I don''t know what''s wrong with me..."


    "Who started this?"


    "Hm?"


    "Who told you this first? You are not someone to think about something like this suddenly. There must be someone who triggered it," he asked. He knew me too well. "Who was it, honey?"


    "... It was just a voice..."


    "A voice? What do you mean?"


    "After Ruby left, I was waiting for you here. I was bored. That''s when I suddenly heard... Draven''s voice... He was saying those things that made me a bit anxious..."


    "Draven? That''s that bastard brother of yours," he grumbled. "I am not insulting you."


    "I know..."


    "But why would you hear his voice out of nowhere? It''s not like he can be here."


    "It was not my imagination. I truly heard his voice. Sapphire heard it too. She was looking around as well... That said, where is Sapphire? She was..."


    "She left. Must be because we were screwing," he muttered.


    "Dem!"


    "That''s not the point. So, what you mean is you are sure you heard the voice."


    "How can I describe? It felt like he was right here, talking to me... It was just like the time when I heard my biological father''s voice out of nowhere."


    "Do you think he has done it?"


    "For now, that is the only thing to assume."


    "Let''s say it''s his work. Then why has he done this? To emotionally sabotage you?"


    "I don''t know..."


    Dem and I both knew that even if I did not want to admit it if their motive was to emotionally damage me, they were notpletely failing.


    "Can you tell me what exactly he said?"


    I bit my lips. I did not want to talk about it, not even once. But I did not want to hide it either. I needed to let him know so he could understand more about my situation. I closed my eyes and told him everything he said. Thanks to my memory, it was not hard to remember every single thing.


    He did not say anything for a while. I was getting worried. The silence was too heavy. "Dem?"


    "Yes?"


    "Why aren''t you saying anything?"


    "... Have you said anything back to him, I mean, the voice?" he asked.


    "I did. I did not want to be told such things," I mumbled. "I defended myself enough. Then suddenly, the voice was gone."


    "If that silver punk was here, you could have told him."


    "Yeah... But what can we do? Luc is in Lacuna," I muttered. "He hasn''t even reported to me."


    "That said, he has reported to me today."


    "What? When?" I asked, surprised.


    "Tonight, actually," he replied. "In the letter, he mentioned that King of Lacuna is truly being controlled by a dark mage. It is very hard to detect, but King Ford still managed to do so. Anyway, they still could not do anything about it. They have been attending dinners with that dumb King. But they couldn''t break him from the dark mage''s grasp.


    And there is another problem now."


    "What is it?"


    "Ataraxia suddenly started a war against Trouville."


    "What?!" I sat up in shock.


    It was too sudden. Moreover, Evan was in Lacuna. It was not like he had a Queen or anyone else in his family who would be able to give orders.


    "Yes, I am shocked too. If Querencia was between Ataraxia and Trouville, we could have stopped them from entering Trouville. But that''s not the case. I will still see what I can do. King Ford knows about it and he returned to Trouville immediately," he exined calmly.


    "But shouldn''t we have known at least something about it? Howe we werepletely in the dark?"


    "It''s because they moved very suddenly. It can happen. I don''t know what''s the cause.


    "I see... That''s very..."


    "Luc could not report because of it. The crow he sent got lost somewhere."


    ''We use crows? I suddenly forgot about it...''


    "Don''t worry. We all use a special method to send letters that only the potion Luc makes can make the words visible. He mentioned something in Ruby''s letter he said thinking the report might get lost somewhere. Anyway, he sent five letters in total, containing the same report so at least one of them reaches us. He can''t use any mages because the mages we sent there are kept an eye on.


    It is a rule to send only one report via a crow or something."


    ''Well, you guys have some weird rules. I am not even surprised.''
