I checked him to see him gaze at the horizon as well. It must be hard to learn on your own, more importantly, lead a country by your own hands.

I looked and brushed my tummy. I hope this little girl will be his bright light. "Does your stomach hurt?"

He's too cautious, so I smiled to myself. "No Majesty, all is well." His hand held my tummy and caressed it. Then I felt something..

Both of us looked at each other, a little bewildered that the baby just kicked. For the first time.

"Did she just kick where my hand was?" I giggled and his eyes softened at me when I giggled. I carefully stopped myself as I got ashamed of it.

"She must've known her dad, Majesty." His lips tugged a little smile and that was the highlight of today.

He kept his hand there, waiting for more kicks. Another one came and it's a little hurtful but it's more assuring that the baby is alive.

He suddenly stood and I followed what he was about to do. He kneeled in front of me and held my tummy at both sides and placed his ear on my tummy.

The baby kicked again but she did it on my side. "Majesty, she kicked over here." I took his hand and repositioned it.

She did it again. He unexpectedly kissed where she kicked and I know it's for the baby, but I couldn't help myself feel butterflies.

I couldn't sink it in my brain that time flew by just that quick, I was just struggling months ago with my morning sickness and eating, and now, the baby's kicking inside.

"Do you want to see something while we're here?" He stood up. Hmm, what could I have not seen in a farm yet..

Wait, actually.. "Majesty, are there floral gardens here?"

-

Out of this world.. Before me is a field with a variety of different flowers that are fully bloomed. "Majesty, can I stroll?" I want to walk in the field and just feel my arms brush against the flowers. He nodded, "don't wander far, and watch your steps."

I proceeded to walk and feel the petals. This is wonderful, I turn and turn to meet all the flowers surrounding me, they're tall and beautiful. I walked a few steps more.

Astounding, all of the people who lived here must have taken their time in planting these. I heard a heavy footstep behind me that made me turn. It's Majesty, gazing at the field. "We should go ahead now." i'm well satisfied with the little time spent here so i nodded.

"Would you like to pick some flowers to take with you first?" i shaked my head, "it'll hurt them Majesty, I want them to live." I stroked the stem of this vibrant blue flower. "Hmm."

His sound of approval made me a little happy.

"Y/n~" Stella chirped once she got inside the room. King Jeon finally allowed us to have a time of our own.

"Oh my~ she's big.." she gasped, marveling at my tummy as she held it. I chuckled at her bulging eyes.

"Where did you stay for months? I was asking for you and they said you went somewhere. You never left me a note." I crossed my arms as I pretended to be hurt.

"Aish~ i apologize, i wanted to, but King Jeon never allowed anyone to step foot inside of here." Oh..

"I went to the farthest city where my family lived. I just missed them since I could not possibly talk to you for the past months." I pout hearing that.

"How have you been and that royal guard?"

"Good, I took him with me." I poked her side and cheered for her. She laughed and I could see her eyes sparkle with joy.

"Remember when we talked back then, when you asked if you'd meet the one? Do you feel it's him?" I asked, eager.

"Yes y/n, he's been so caring, i felt like i'm his queen, could you believe that?" She laughed. I smiled looking at her, I'm truly happy that I feel my heart so full.

"And you..?" She smiled. "Hmm?" I didn't catch what she said. "How about you, with the King?"

Ah, the King.. "he's been.." how do i say this- "rude??" She anticipated with fear. "Oh, no.. he's been more.. caring.."

She sighed like a ton of bricks had been lifted from her lungs. "Thank the Lord.."

I heard the door open. "Why are you two standing? Sit on the bed, lay even." He said when he saw us on the corner.

"Majesty." Stella bowed before him. "What would you like to eat?" He asked me. "Majesty, we just ate lunch a few minutes ago.."

"Tell me if you feel the need to eat again." He took something from his drawer and left. I looked at Stella like she sees me as a ghost.

"Stella?" She's frozen- "you meant to tell me, he's that caring?" Her mouth widened.

"Uh, yes?" I held her arm, "We should sit for now."

We sat down on the bed and she's staring still. "Please don't think of it that deep." I shaked my head at her.

"So.. what does King Jeon say after you give birth?" Here she goes.

"He approves of it." I simply said. "Really now." She squints her eyes again. Just then, the door opened again.

King Jeon appeared with a plastic bag. Smells like there's food. Is he still hungry?

"Here, you two eat." He opened the plastic bag and he seems to prepare the food while Stella gets agitated that she's just sitting- "M-Majesty, may i prepare it for y-"

"No, sit down and talk with her." She immediately sat back down. We watch him move here and there.

"Do you feel like eating now?" He stopped halfway to ask me that. "N-No Majesty, still full."

"And you?" He asked Stella that then felt like a shock to her. "I-I'm full Majesty, thank you." She bowed again in panic.
