CH 69

[Sasha, are you feeling better now?]

.

I am currently giving a lap pillow to Sasha. That is to say, it is my punishment Sasha has forced me to do. It is because I was not able to keep my word and went seriously against the knight captain despite assuring her not doing anything dangerous.

.

But the truth is now that I am seeing Sasha as she pouts her cheeks in anger is just too cute. Her expression then changes before she speaks, but Sasha, no matter what, she’s just too cute.

.

[I am not particularly angry. It’s just that I thought that my beloved husband was about to do something reckless again.] (Sasha)

[Is that so…] (Clais)

.

She says that but it is true that it made her a bit mad so I pat Sasha’s head to give her comfort.

.

[I feel bad about it. However, as I am head of the Ducal Fall family, I need to show even once in a while my cool side.]

[…But the dear husband is always cool no matter when.]

.

Sasha says so while her cheeks are still pouting. The destructiveness of her cute madness is just too powerful. It’s getting harder for me to keep my heart in check after hearing Sasha say such a line but I manage to control myself and pretend to be calm.

.

[Thank you. I just show my real self in front of Sasha so hearing you say that really warms my heart.]

[Your real self, is it..?]

[Yes. Because I don’t have to think of anything else when I am in front of Sasha. I want the people I love to see me for who I really am.]

.

Well, to tell the truth, I am currently restraining my overflowing love power to Sasha as something big might happen otherwise. No, I just have to restrain the chaotic part of my love that Sasha doesn’t  need to know. Yes.

.

Sasha’s cheeks are still pouting but I can feel she’s already a bit happy.

.

[B-but I… I’ve only done nothing but show my pathetic side to my dear husband.]

[That’s not true at all. The truth is I think Sasha’s expression is so cute right now I can’t help but feel joyful.]

[C-c-cute…]

.

Sasha’s cheeks then redden after what I said. Is this really a woman who has already given birth to 3 children? There is nowhere in the world where someone can find a bride that already birthed a child as cute as my girl. Still, this lap pillow is nice. Sasha doesn’t really have much room to hide her embarrassment so I can fully observe her bashful face. Her silver hair is so smooth and comfortable too. I’ve taken the liberty to stroke them for quite some time already and I have to say that it’s the most soft and beautiful hair I have seen. Laurier’s hair is pretty too but Sasha is just on another level with the help of the cosmetic goods I’ve developed over the past year.

.

Really, if the material itself is good, polishing it further makes someone really fulfilled seeing it’s brighter beauty. Well, even without the cosmetics, just doing anything with Sasha and Laurier will be enough to make me happy.

.

Moments pass as I cherish Sasha’s cute appearance before she speaks after calming down.

.

[Dear husband… I don’t want my dear husband to get hurt regardless. If you’ve been seriously hurt or injured, I….]

[Thank you, Sasha.]

.

I can’t help but pat Sasha’s head again after hearing her gentle thoughts.

.

[I am such a fulfilled and happy person. I’ve been blessed with such a beautiful wife and daughter. And that is precisely why I have to protect this happiness at all cost.]

[Dear husband…]

[It’s okay. I won’t be reckless. That’s why I want to ask Sasha a favor.]

[A favor?]

[I would like Sasha to allow me to love her as much. As Sasha is the only woman on this earth that I will love.]

.

Sasha heard my words and blushed harder before nodding her head.

.

[Ofcourse. Please.]

[Thank you, Sasha.]

.

The lap pillow remains for some more time and we thoroughly enjoy it. Such a punishment session in itself is really fun but I have to take it to heart and reflect not to increase Sasha’s worry and burden in her heart.
