The Return of the Beast Princess

Chapter 51 - I promised *

"I miss taking a bath like this."

The couple is relaxing inside a stone bath tub that Asha requested Dumu to make while they were on their way to Baylor. She kept it inside her secret space for it was huge and heavy for them to even carry.

Dumu filled the stone tub with water using his water manipulation and he was getting better in controlling anything liquid thanks to his wife's guidance and lessons.

They are now relaxed and enjoying this alone time inside the stone house that they rented for ten days.

Dumu was quite enjoying the bath while his wife is massaging his head and neck, to relieve him from the stress and annoyance he is feeling.

"My husband feels better now? You were so irritable earlier, even the guards are getting wary towards us."

Dumu sighs as he strokes his wife's legs underwater. He leans his back against his wife's soft round breasts and looks at her from the side as she looks back at him with a smile.

"I am sorry wife. I just want to get back here quick when we both decided to surrender the wolves and bring back that horse beast. They interrupted my alone time with my wife and every time spent with my wife is the most important of all. I do not care if they plan to kill each other, as long as it does not concern us. I only care about us, especially you wife."

He pulled her to him for a long kiss as to savor moments like this with bliss.

"I understand my husband. It's just that I can't help it when someone is in dire need of help and we are there. I know it's none of our business but you know, little acts of kindness might bring big returns to us that we can take as a blessing in the future."

"I understand wife but what I mean is, not everyone deserves to be helped. We do not even know them so how can we be sure if they will not harm us or even others in return? I am just cautious because I do not want anything bad happening especially to my wife. I always want you to be safe and happy. You are my one and only priority Asha. There are no others, just you."

"I know husband. I just believe what my father always tell me that everybody, good or bad, deserves a second chance. If you waste the kindness given to you by others then the fate that you'll reap is all on you. You reap what you sow. How others treat you is their karma, how you react is yours."

"Karma?"

"It is a powerful force that we can't control which can cause good or bad things to happen. They say that if you do good things, you'll receive good karma. But if you are bad, you'll receive bad karma. Just like what I said, you reap what you sow.

And... if you are anxious that whoever we help will do bad things to us, we can just fight back, even kill them in an instant, right? D'you think I'll let them have a chance to do something that will endanger us? If I am your priority then you should understand that you are also my priority Dumu. If you want to protect me then I want to protect you as well. That's why we've been trying so hard to get stronger, right? To protect each other because we love each other."

"You said that how others treat you is their karma, how you react is yours... but what if you kill them because they want to kill you first or the one you love? Will that give you bad karma too because it is bad?"

"Whatever my karma will be, then so be it. As long as I can protect my loved ones... I will never regret my actions... I will never regret if the reason I'm doing it is because I have to protect you or me or both of us... I love you that much husband...."

How am I to argue with a loving and caring wife?

"I love you too wife... I will do anything for you...."
