"Leonis,"
"Hm?"
"I don't think I can become your empress just yet."
"I see. Can I ask why?"
"I—I—" Won't I look pathetic saying this? I knew all this before marrying him, yet I'm saying I can't be the empress of this world yet.
"Talk to me, Kiva." He holds me stronger. "Don't keep it to yourself, whatever it is, tell me."
I think about it for a moment and let out a sigh, "It's just that I—I don't want to be away from you." I finally confess with my face buried in my hands with embarrassment.
"Huh?" I feel his hold loosen and I turn around and peek through my hands. He looks confused.
"Urgh," I grumble and bring down my hands. "When we get back, we're both going to be so busy doing our respective duties that we might not even see each other that often even though we use the same room."
"Go on," he urges.
