Forgotten Wife

CHAPTER 31: CALL ME BY MY NAME

Setherian could not fulfill that wish either, it was too dangerous to leave the princess alone, in the kingdom there were countless people who, like the servant who had attacked her, wanted to kill her, who wanted to avenge their loved ones who had died an atrocious death at the hands of King Quin, if he let her return to that house, someone might try to kill her again and he could not allow it.

He was about to answer in the negative to her wish when someone knocked on the door interrupting them, it was Romano, he asked if he could come in, Setherian arranged Rebecca's nightgown, covered her with a blanket and gave permission for Romano to enter.

-Brother, I didn't know you were here, if I interrupt I can come back later.

-Don't worry, you're not interrupting anything, I have a meeting I was just about to leave.

Setherian turned to Rebecca.

-Don't get out of bed unless you have to.

-Yes.

-And if you need anything, no matter what it is, let me know.

-Yes- she replied again.

-Roman take care of her, see that she does what I told her to do.

-I will do so, brother.

After Setherian left Roman said.

-It seems your relationship with my brother has improved a lot.

-Yes, we talk more now and he is nice to me.

-My brother has always had a hard time opening up to other people, so don't think badly of him, he's a good person, once he gets to know you he will open his heart to you.

"Just as I did," thought Romano as he looked at her, at first he had hated her, but as he had treated her he had realized how wonderful the princess was and without realizing it he had opened his heart to her, but he knew that his feelings for the princess were an impossibility, she was his brother's wife, his only family, so the only thing he could do was wish them to be happy.

Rebecca was still staring at the balcony, Romano asked her.

-Do you want to go outside?

-Yes, I hate being locked up but his majesty will be angry if I get out of bed again.

-My brother does it because he worries about you, your wound hasn't healed yet, if you try too hard it could open, the best thing would be for you to rest until you recover, once you're well we can take a walk in the garden, we'll take the little fox with us.

-I haven't seen him for a long time, he must have grown up a lot, I would like to see him.

-Then I'll bring him to you.

-But I don't think his majesty would like me to have an animal in his room.

-My brother said you could ask for anything you wanted, tell him that's what you want and I'm sure he won't be upset.

-You really think he won't be upset?

-Yes, I'm sure of that, so I'll bring it to you right now, so you won't be bored, I can also bring you some book to read if you want.

-Really?

-Yes, what kind of books do you like?

-When I lived in the kingdom of Baldoyle, in the palace I lived in there were a lot of romance novels, I used to read them all the time, I wish I could read some.

-Then I'll go to the library and bring you all the ones I find.

-Thank you very much.

-You don't have to thank me, you've done so much more for me.
