"Mister Albedo, Your medicine," Sucrose said handing three medicines to the blonde Alchemist.
"Thanks, Sucrose" Albedo said thanking his alchemy assistant. "By the way, Mister Albedo does Duke Henry, His majesty knows about your condition?"
"No, He does not know I have Stormiaphosma," Albedo said. "I never have time to talk to her"
"Mister Albedo, please take care of yourself, "Sucrose told the alchemist
Albedo nodded. The Alchemist should take rest and sleep. He has dark holes under her pretty eyes and he looks like a husband that no Nobleman would love.
"Master Albedo can You a look at this stone, I found it on my adventures to Natlan." A traveler said handing the stone to the talented alchemist.
"If you here, to know if this stone is very rare in Natlan, then sorry It is not"
"Dont get your hopes to high" Cerius" The traveler uttered with a heavy sigh and slowly left Albedo's office.
Albedo sighed. He really hated hurting the travelers that come to him everyday to know if he found the rare stone, they heard from Stanley who was lucky enough to find that rare stone and get famous.
"Sucrose I want some alone time," Albedo uttered. The green haired with wolf ears nodded and left the room.
"Sucrose, How many times do I have to tell you to close the door, when I am studying stones and experiments,"
Albedo closed the door and started studying stones. He loves being an alchemist. there is always a lot of things to know and new ways to find out for a successful experiment.
An Alchemist work is stressful but Albedo feels happy when He is in this workplace or studyroom than being inside the palace.
He rather stay alone in his favorite room than be with his husband who doesn't love him.
many years ago Young and naïve Albedo thought that his husband loves him but now he can tell with full confidence, He was wrong....
His husband doesn't love him.. He never did. All the time when Albedo was busy making jewelleries to give to his lover, He was busy sleeping around with noble woman.
On his 5th Anniversary, on that same day when he had tea with his king, that day changed him. That night changed him.
He found out his husband naked with a woman who was his bestfriend Nailuso. He screamed and scolded harry and earned a slap from him and he was called "the workaholic freak.
The old naïve and always happy Albedo left teyvat that day. Now the old boring Albedo is always busy, lacks self care for himself and overall absent minded.
The words, Love, Lover, affection and the sentence "I love you darling" is foreign to him.
He accepted the fact that Harry doesn't love him, He only married him so that he can brag to noble's how talented he is!
Albedo doesn't feel sad seeing Harry with a woman, nor does he feel jealous.
He see the couple dancing with a small smile and sometimes his face getting wet and the tears falling in the marble floor.
"Why he doesn't love me,"
"why not me,"
"What can I do to make him love him,"
"maybe I should find someone new and divorce him" This is more easier at saying, than done. The talented alchemist cannot bring himself to divorce the cheater.
Maybe because He still has some hearts for him or he still loves him.
Maybe both
All Albedo knows that He cannot bring himself to hate or divorce the king he loves. He loves him with his whole heart
But Harry doesn't love him back.
And he will never will......
