himiko's pov
i look around the gazebo where the princesses are talking and drinking as our usual past time.
what is unusual is scaramouche beside me.
i've told him to not join my teatimes because it's only girl time but of course he wouldn't budge.
"i need them to know that i'm such a caring husband."
that's what he had said when i tried to reason with him.
well, now here he is bringing out the giggles from the girls.
even from princess nilou, the princess of sumeru who so hates my guts.
"himiko, my queen why are you so quiet? is there something bothering you?" i feel a hand grab mine and kiss the top of it. i internally cringe but of course show a sweet smile on the outside to my husband while the rest of the princesses squeal at the title he calls me by. except princess nilou, of course.
"yea, it's nothing. the tea was too good that i zoned out." i explain and hold scaramouche's hand, to further irk her.
if it does that is.
she smirks once we hold hands and she looks at me, "prince- oh my apologies, i mean queen, you should go and rest in your room. we have the king to keep us company now." she gives an innocent grin that makes me want to smack her face.
i give her a lopsided grin and mutter, "it's alright. i wouldn't want to leave my husband's side now would i?" i kiss him on his cheek and his eyes widen.
ew never again.
nilou looks like she'd be anywhere but here.
"i must say, i mean no offence but your marriage came out of nowhere." she states and i roll my eyes internally.
of course it'd be offencive if she says 'no offence'.
scaramouche takes my hand again and squeezes it under the table, locking eyes with me and nodding.
guess i'll let him take the lead after all.
"princess...nilou right?" she nods at his question. "well, i suppose you're saying our marriage was out of rush?" she nods again and scaramouche sighs.
"if you're in love deeply with someone, you just want to be with them more. i suppose you haven't experienced such euphoria yet so i really think it's not appropriate for you to make any judgement of our marriage that was done out of goodwill."
goodwill my foot.
that shuts nilou up and the whole table erupts into giggles and whispers, making nilou flush in embarrassment. she immediately stands up bows and in courtesy before leaving the gazebo.
