His Wife ( Granger X Lesley )

26

Lesley put the mat and arrange the whole picnic things on it. Harley was quite excited too. He helps with a few things. Granger already left, after give a peck on her hair.

"What a wonderful picnic, right?" Lesley sat down, while take out some sandwiches.

"Yes! It's been a while since I enjoyed the grass. It is green." Harley sigh. He takes some of sandwiches before stuff it in his mouth.

"So, all cold in Northern Vale?" Lesley asks. She pour some coffee in her cup.

"Kinda. But I like winter too. It has snow everywhere. I need to wear double clothes in everything." Harley reported.

"Owh, we'll visit there on the other time." Lesley assure, before take a few sip of coffee.

"Lesley, I want to ask." Harley put down his sandwiches.

"Sure, ask it." Lesley put down her cup. She look at Harley, waiting for his question.

"How did you and that demon hunter met?"

"Oh... We met during a mission. Why did you ask?" Lesley giggles.

"I don't know. He looks... Weird. Beside, you already have that Paxley guy... I don't even remember his name. Urgh. Now, you are married. Wasn't confusing?" Harley sigh. His gut telling him that this was so wrong.

"Oh, Harley... Don't think too much about that. Let's just say... It was all coincidence. Gusion and I aren't compatible anymore. Granger, are nice. He's a good guy." Lesley pat his orange hair, which makes Harley startled.

"Fine, fine! Just, don't touch the hair." He shooed her hands, making Lesley chuckles.

"That's my boy. Now, let's enjoy our picnic!"

"Urgh, Saber!" Granger massage his forehead. He was stress. Saber was running like a rabbit into the room.

"Yes your Highness?" He remains calm.

"Make me coffee. No sugar. Make it quick." Granger sigh, before continue his work. Saber nod, before leave the room.

Granger have a mission too, today. Killing demons, again. A duke was only a title, but a demon hunter is his job. Forever, the permanent one. So, he will reunite with Lesley a bit late, maybe in the middle of night.

Saber then comes with a cup of coffee and a coffee pot. He pour some in it before serve his master.

"Here is your coffee, your Highness." Saber put it on the side of the table. Granger nods. Saber stands on the side of the table after bow.

"Oh, Saber. Please pick up my wife and his little brother after this. Tell her I will be late this night." Saber nod, understand.

Granger continue to do his work again. Ah, he can't wait to finish all these fucking works and go to bed.

"Ouch." Granger blinks a few times. He feel pain all over his eyes. He closed his eyes for a while.

"What's wrong, your Highness?" Saber seems concerned.

"The same stinging pain again. But, it somehow less than before." Granger hold his breath for a while before breath out. Pain. But it's not too much like before. He wonder why.

"Hm, for how long did you feel like this, your Highness? I mean, you said it was not too painful like before." Saber take out his note to sketch something.

"I think... It's all started since I'm married, Saber." Granger put down his paperwork for a while. He reminisce. Ever since they had sex, Granger feel much better than before. Meaning like sleeping, pain and so on. Or, is it only because newlyweds effect?

"Oh I see. From my point, it might be caused by Lesley. She had a curse too, after all. A red eyes. Oh, does the effect just take part after the vow?" Saber stops his note. After this, he will scan and save the note as memory.

"Hm, you have a point. It's not after the vow, Saber. You know, after the deed." Granger groans for a while before continue his work.

"What deed?" Saber seems so confuse.

"You don't know?" Granger doesn't seem surprised. Inside, he just want to laugh his not so innocent butler.

"I don't, your Highness." He smile.

"I thought you have a girlfriend."

"I don't." Saber's eyebrows creased. What is all this deed about?

"Well, it's something that a married couple do, to make children." Granger explained in a simple way. The robot man nod.

"Oh. I wonder why. Maybe, her curse react with yours. It might become painkiller for you, your Highness. You should check on it. Now, if you please, I'll go." Saber bows, before leave the room.

The alone Granger sigh. It might be true. He shall heads to the Moniyan's Great library tomorrow or so. Maybe, he will find something about this.

After a few hours, Lesley stretched herself out. The picnic was wonderful. It would be better if Granger was here too. She wonder if his job will never complete in his life.

"Ah, Harley. It is his carriage. Let's go." Lesley finished cleaning all those picnic things and want to go home. Harley was holding all sort of things, so he walk a little late.

But, Lesley stop just before she enter the carriage.

It is not Saber. I wonder who... But, why I feel uneasy about this? It's shady.

Lesley's behavior makes Harley confuse. What's with this again?

"Lesley, why-"

In just a second, Lesley was pulled into the carriage with force. Harley didn't have the time to react, only to see his sister gone, along with the carriage.

He was scared. Now he know, it's not his brother in law's carriage. Oh my, where did Lesley go?!

A few minutes later, Harley was standing still there, no response or reaction. Ah, Saber already arrived.

"Hey, Harley. Where is Lesley? We should go home." Saber greet the little Harley, but he didn't budge. Saber feel uneasy. He jumps down before walk to Harley.

Harley didn't react.

"Harley... Where is Lesley?" He asks. Harley starts to cry, which lead Saber to panic state.

"She'd been abducted! We must save her!" Harley beg in front of Saber. The robot nod, before make him enter the carriage.

"We will. Let's inform your Highness first." Saber sigh.

They have a complicated journey after this.
