Everyone was having dinner. They were all eating in silence. Their utensils clashing against the plates. Making noises. Everyone was enjoying except for one person. Felix was only poking the food, not eating. He didn't have the appetite to eat. After what he had just saw I don't think he can eat. Not when he saw all the blood. Rheyna noticed he was silent, and not eating.

Rheyna: Felix?

Felix flinched and snapped out of his thoughts.

Felix: Yeah?

Rheyna: Why are you not eating?

Felix: Uhh...

All eyes were on him now.  Making him feel small and nervous.

Felix: I just...don't feel well. I'm not hungry.

Valinrina: Why? Do you want something else?

Felix: No. I'm just not hungry. Can I go to my room please?

Arthur: Sure. Have a rest.

Felix nodded and smiled. He stood up from his seat and went near Rheyna's seat and kissed her on the cheeks and temple. The sudden act made her blush tense still. He smirked and proceeded to walk to their room. She was still tensed. Her face so red. Arthur laughed at her face.

Arthur: He's unpredictable sometimes huh?

Rheyna: Huh? Ah yes... He could be unpredictable.

She said. Arthur laughed and continued to eat. She smiled and then proceeded to eat. Meanwhile with Felix, he opened the door and closed it behind him. He signed heavily and was about to walk towards the bed when he saw a piece of paper on the bed. He furrowed his eyebrows. He went up to the bed and picked up the paper. Again as usual it was empty. Just a plain piece of paper.

Felix: *Sigh* This is just stupid. I wonder who does this.

He said and put the paper on the drawer. He laid on the bed and closed his eyes to relax. He felt his body getting heavier and heavier. Until he finally slept. The door opened and closed. The bed dipped down and fingers were tracing his chest. The woman chuckled underneath her breath.

???: I swear, when the time comes, you and I will be together. And your wife? Hmph, she will be the maid. And I will be the Queen of your life.

The woman kissed his forehead and placed her lips on the corner of his lips. She backed away when she felt him move. He grumbled and scooted away from her. She smirked, she backed away from him and left the room. When she closed the door she yelped in surprise when she saw Rheyna standing in the door.

Rheyna: What are you doing Andrea?

Andrea: My Queen, uhh I was just... Checking the King-

Rheyna: Who gave you permission to check on the King?

Andrea: Well... I'm just walking by and I heard him-

Rheyna: Whatever he does is none of your business. And you don't get to enter our room without permission. Understand?

Andrea: Yes my Queen.

Rheyna: Get back to your work. Excuse me.

Rheyna opened the door and closed it in front of her face. Andrea scoffed.

Andrea: You stupid rat. Tch...idiot.

She walked away angrily. Meanwhile Rheyna, she signed heavily. She saw him sleeping peacefully. She went up to him and laid down beside him. She placed her head around his arms and relaxed under his touch. Felix groaned and pulled her closer. Cuddling close. She chuckled softly. She placed her hand on his hair, combing his hair with her fingers. She hummed a song. Her voice was such an amazing voice. It was so gentle. Like a lullaby, putting the baby to sleep. It was exactly like that. Her voice is so smooth. So soft. So gentle. He signed softly and kissed her chest and collar bone.

Rheyna: I wish I could hold you like this forever. I wish you'll see how much I care for you. I wish you'll love me like how much I  love you. I've fallen for you. Andi can't stop this feeling. I know you will never look at me like I am your true love. And I understand that. And it's okay. It hurts me when you...when you look at me like you're so disgusted. But I can't stop, loving you. It sounds crazy I know. But there's nothing I could do about it. All i know... Is that I love you. I wish you can see that. And I wish you know the truth. Someday, you will see... You will know what happened.

She kissed his head and closed her eyes. Both slept peacefully, thinking about nothing.

(Morning)

Felix was standing in the balcony window and was leaning on the railing. Watching the people work and do their chores happily. The farmers doing their jobs. The gardener cutting the extra bushes. The view showed peace. The people of Lazica and Nyland were everywhere. Walking around and minding their business. He signed and closed his eyes. Rheyna entered the room and saw him standing there peacefully. She signed softly. She went up to him and placed her hands on his both shoulders making him flinch and open his eyes and look behind him. Felix signed relieved when he saw it was just her. She smiled sweetly at him making him relax. Yesterday, what he saw was just so terrifying. It's as if it was a nightmare. He just can't get it out of his mind that easily.

And even today, it still gives him the creeps. Especially when he saw Rheyna getting murdered. He shook his head and rubbed his arms because he feels the goosebumps again. Felix placed his hands on hers and leaned his cheeks on her hands that's on his shoulders. Rheyna smiled softly and leaned closer to him.

Rheyna: You've been very quiet. Even yesterday too.

Felix: I'm just thinking.

Rheyna: Are you okay?

Felix: Yes. How are you feeling?

Rheyna: I'm okay. Morning sickness sucks.

Felix: *Chuckles* Just by even hearing you say it, it does sound like it truly sucks.

Rheyna: It does. You'll wake up feeling like you want to puke ever morning. It's a bad start every morning.

Felix: Bet it does.

He turned around and hugged her close. She leaned into his warm hug. She noticed that he's been very clingy every since yesterday. Always walking with her. Everywhere she goes, he always follows. It's odd and strange. When he goes somewhere he'd always leave a kiss on her head or lips. Every single little thing, makes her heart always burst. She shook her thoughts away and just enjoyed the time with him. She signed softly and so did he.

Felix: Alright, I'm afraid I'll have to cut this whole hug session now because I still need to go and teach the new soldiers train. Will you be okay on your own?

Rheyna: Yeah. I will be.

Felix: Okay. I'll see you later hmm?

She nodded and he left a sweet kiss on her lips before leaving the room. She smiled lovingly. She went to the bed and sat down. She took the book that was laying on the top drawer and opened it. Reading peacefully. Meanwhile with Felix, he was watching the soldiers train. And also helping them with they need help. He sighs heavily. His body itching to have Rheyna on his side. Ever since he had the odd dream, he always gets this eerie feeling that someone is watching them and waiting for them. He doesn't feel good. He feels like he needs to be with her this whole time. To protect his baby and his wife. He's scared. Scared of what might happen to them if he's not paying too much attention to them. He knows he's being clingy.

And he knows that Rheyna is confused by his sudden acts. But he doesn't care. It's their life he's protecting. Not his. He rubbed his temples, his head hurting from all this thinking. He's getting so stressed out. He sighs heavily and walked towards Skye.

Felix: I'll be heading upstairs. I'm not feeling that well.

Skye: Do you have a fever?

Felix: No, I don't. I just have a headache. I think I'll be fine if I take a little nap.

Skye: Sure. Go ahead. Me and Nathaniel will take care of everything.

Felix: Thank you.

He walked away and left the training room. He was walking away. He untied his tight half pony.

Felix: I really need someone to style my hair. My poor hair needs good treatment.

He said at the end. As he was walking by, he saw maids and servants crowding the gate. Out of curiousness, he walked outside and saw some of them murmuring.

Felix: What's going on here?

Maid: My King, a terrifying incident happened. Our guards. They all have been brutally murdered.

Felix: What? Who did this?

Maid: We have no idea my King. All we know was that their body has been found dead this morning.

Felix: Excuse me.

He excited himself and pushed through the crowd. He heard a woman crying. When he pushed through, he saw the guards' body was on the ground. And a woman crying.

Woman: Son! Wake up son please!

She cried out. The five dead body of the guards were laying down on the ground bloody. He saw Draken asking someone. When they saw each other, Draken excused himself and walked up to him.

Felix: What happened?

Draken: Someone managed to get through our gate. It must've been an assassin since the work is oddly a clean work. Some of us also found this.

Felix looked down at Draken's hand that was holding a some kind of odd tool.

Felix: Where'd you find this?

Draken: It was stuck at hook of the gate. Like I said it must've been an assassin. And also, we found this. This was the weapon used to kill our guards. Some kind of dagger. And based on the paleness of their body, they've probably been murdered at around midnight.

Felix: You said it was an assassin right?

Draken: Yes?

Felix: Bring the bodies to the doctor's clinic.

Draken: Yes my King.

The woman suddenly screamed making them confused. The woman ran towards Felix but the other guards stopped her.

Felix: No no it's okay let her go.

Guard: But my King-

Felix: Let her go. Now.

He said sternly. The guards let her go and she moved towards him. She kneeled down to him and hugged his knees.

Felix: W-what are you doing?

Woman: Please! Please I beg you! Find out who did this to my son! Make whoever did this pay to what he's done to my son! Put this animal in the dungeon!

Draken: Let go of the King-

Felix: Draken, it's okay.

Draken nodded. Felix faced the woman.

Felix: I swear. I'll find out who did this to your son. I promise you, this person who killed your son, will thrown in the dungeon.

The woman cried and nodded. She let him go. Felix told the guards to take the dead bodies to the doctor's clinic. For investigation. The woman cried harder.

Felix: Follow me.

Draken and Felix left.

(Doctor's clinic)

The doctor removed the white blanket that's covering their head. The white pale body had a slit on the throat.

Doctor: I'm guessing you already the know the cause of death.

Felix: Yeah. It's obvious. Tell me exactly what you know Draken.

Draken: Well based on the investigation, it is confirmed an assassin.

Felix: Damn it.

Draken: The person's work was clean. No traces of footsteps were seen. No fingerprints. Nothing. The assassin must've been wearing a gloves to hide the handprints.

Felix: Unbelievable. This assassin is getting smarter and smarter. Alright, what about the dungeon? What have you found?

Draken: Still investigating. Like you said this assassin is getting smarter and smarter. So, I am afraid this investigation will be longer than expected.

Felix: Do what you have to do. Inform me if you found something. Doctor, you know what to do.

Doctor: Yes my King.

Felix nodded and Draken bowed and Felix left the clinic. He went straight to their room to check up on Rheyna. His body itching to have her close to him. He opened the door and saw her sitting on the sofa reading a book. She saw him and he signed in relief and closed the door. He went up to her.

Felix: Hey.

Rheyna: Hi-ooh!

She squeaked when he pulled her in a tight hug. She chuckled and hugged him closer.

Rheyna: You seem stressed. What happened?

Felix: A lot happened.

Rheyna: Have a rest first.

Felix nodded and brought her to bed with him. They laid down, clutched on each other while breathing the same air. Their hearts beating together in the same rhythm.

Rheyna: Are you hungry?

Felix: A little bit. Why? Are you hungry?

Rheyna: I'm just craving for something sweet and juicy.

Felix: Stay here. I'll get it.

Rheyna: No it's okay. I can get it myself. What do you want to eat?

Felix: Same as yours.

Rheyna: Okay. Stay here. I'll go get it for us.

Felix: You can just stay here I'll get it for us.

Rheyna: I've been sitting here in this room all afternoon. I also want to do something. I want to walk around too.

Felix looked nervous. He looked down completely nervous. Rheyna noticed that and she took his face on her hands and made him face her.

Rheyna: I'll just cut some fruits and I won't be long okay?

Felix nodded. She smiled softly and squished his face making his lips pout cutely. She laughed softly at his face. He laughed along too.

Felix: Okay, you can stop that now.

Rheyna: I don't want to. You look cute.

Felix: I look like a fish.

Rheyna: A cute fish.

Felix playfully whined making her laugh. Her laugh is so angelic. So beautiful. Just like her... Wait what?! He didn't say that did he?

Rheyna: Okay. I'll be back.

She let his face go. Felix grabbed her hands and kissed her palms. She smiles softly at the cute action.

'I love you. I wish I can say that but I'm scared that you'll be back to being harsh to me again.'

She thought sadly.

Felix: Go on.

Rheyna: Okay.

He let her hands go and walked towards the door and left the room. She walked down to the kitchen. The maids greeted her and she did too politely. She grabbed some fruits and cut them using a knife and a cutting board. Once she was done cutting them, she threw them in the big bowl and placed the knife and cutting board in the sink. She took the big bowl and walked upstairs and was walking to the hall to their room. She opened the door but gasped at what she saw.

Felix was kissing another woman. Much worse it was Andrea.

She dropped the bowl and they both snapped.

Felix: No, Rheyna this isn't what it looks like.

Rheyna shook her head in disbelief and wiped the tears that fell off. She ran away from the room.

Felix: No Rheyna wait!

(Earlier)

When Rheyna left the room. Felix stood up and went to the balcony window and signed heavily. Everything is slowly changing. And now he's starting to think she wasn't the over who killed Zeke. She just looks too innocent. But again, looks can be deceiving. He doesn't know. But what scares him the most is, he is slowly falling for her. He is scared of what might happen. He doesn't know what to do. His mind is telling him to not believe her. Since she killed Zeke. But his heart was telling him to forgive her and love her. Now that she is pregnant and they she needs him. He signed heavily. He heard the door open and thought it was Rheyna.

Felix: Rheyna let's eat together-

Felix turned around but we surprised when he saw Andrea instead of Rheyna.

Felix: Andrea, can I help you?

Andrea: Yes. Yes you can.

Felix: What is it?

Andrea: I need something. I've been longing for someone that I like for a long time.

Felix: Okay? Who?

Andrea walked closer to him.

Andrea: What if I say it's you?

Felix: Excuse me?

Andrea: I like you. Since maybe your wife is not here, maybe we could you know, have a bit of fun?

Felix: I'm sorry Andrea. But I'm not that kind of guy. I am married.

Andrea: It's just an arranged marriage. I'm sure you aren't happy right?

Felix: Stop. Whatever you're thinking, stop that. I am married. I am happy. So please, I'd appreciate it if you just get out-

She interrupted him when she placed her lips on his. He tried to push her but she kept clinging. That's when they both heard a noise. They both looked at the door and he froze when he saw Rheyna with shock visible on her face.

Felix: No Rheyna, this isn't what it looks like.

She shook her and ran away.

Felix: No Rheyna wait!

He yelled out. But Rheyna was already running away. Felix looked at Andrea with anger.

Felix: You will pay for this.

He said before running after her. Andrea signed and smirked. Meanwhile Rheyna was walking away with Felix behind her. He grabbed her wrist which she pried off. He grabbed her wrist and turned her around but a hand met his cheek.

*Slap*

Felix looked at her completely shocked.

Rheyna: Don't touch me. I am...disgusted... Really? In our bedroom really?! That's so low of you!

Felix: Rheyna I'm sorry but it wasn't me! She tried to kiss me and I tried to stop her! Please believe me-

Rheyna: Let me go! Stop lying to me! Why do you really have to drown me in pain Felix?! I thought we were doing okay!

Felix: We are doing okay! It was just her! It was her who entered the room and she kissed me! Believe me I tried to stop her!

Rheyna: Stop it! I'm tired of this! I'm tired of everything! I saw it with my own eyes so just stop-ah...

She hissed when she felt her head pound. She almost lost balance but luckily he was there and helped her stand up. He wrapped his arms around her waist.

Felix: Are you okay?

Rheyna felt her knees weak leading her to almost fall. So Felix carried her to the room. Luckily, Andrea was already out of the room and the broken bowl was also cleaned. Felix placed her on the bed. He signed softly and caressed her cheeks.

Felix: Don't stress yourself too much. It's bad for the baby.

Rheyna wiped her tears and softly sobbed. Felix felt so bad so he just hugged her close. She sobbed on his shoulders while he caressed her hair.

Felix: I am sorry. I'm so sorry.

Rheyna: Don't leave me please....

Felix: I won't. I will never.

She pulled away and leaned her forehead on his.

Felix: I will never. Okay?

She nodded and softly sobbed. He kissed her temple and forehead softly.

Felix: Let's just lay down.

They both laid down. They signed softly. They both were too relaxed that they didn't noticed that they both fell asleep.

(Meanwhile)

The sound of the stomping of the horses running, stomping on the tiny branches and tiny woods creating a weird crashing sound. The man in a black mask lifted his hand up, gesturing a 'stop' sigh. The men behind him with their horses stopped. The man in black mask continued to walk with their horses. Pretty sure you get what I mean. They walked past a burned village. That was completely broken. Ashes around. Skeletons, and skull laying around everywhere. Some of the horses stomps on them, the whole sky was grey. Everything was a destroyed mess. Then a big castle could be seen. But it was ruined. The burned marks. The destroyed parts of the whole castle was so heartbreaking. He laughed under his mask. Enjoying the destroyed sight in front of him.

???: It still hasn't changed. Still a pitiful land of waste.

Man: What exactly are we doing here...?

???: Enjoy the sight! Isn't it a beauty? Look at this! We made all this! By making smart decisions and actions! Our mess, led us to have a beautiful and such breathtaking sight! This land my friend. What you see now, is a sigh of greatest victory! This shows it, meaning that we have won! We are strong! We have defeated a land! Now look!

He got off his horse and caressed the head. The horse huffed.

???: I have been planning my whole life to destroy this place. My whole life I have thought of nothing, but completely destroying this place! And look! There's beauty in every
