Jesse's breathing quickens rapidly at Jaden's. He clutches and plays with his sleeves, nervously.

'My body?.... Does he want me only for my body?'

" Jesse....Gem , please."

The king bites his lip turning his head to the side. He almost squeaks when he feels Jaden's body press against his back, the other's hands sliding over his and squeezing.

'At least, he's asking for my consent.....I think?'

"Jesse. " Jaden sighs , feeling the other's muscles tense , as he spoke. He had not wanted this, but the separation did its work nonetheless . He should have been by his husband's side , not leaving immediately after the first night of marriage. " I want to see where she injured you , Gem."

Jesse abused his lip more , making it an angry shade of red . He moves his hands along with Jaden's away from his belly, raising his right to his left shoulder.

"Here?" Jaden asks softly, his eyes going to the said place, not putting pressure over the younger. " Will you show it to me?"

"I-I...." Jesse whimpers, not wanting to remember the time . He still had nights when he woke up from nightmares without anyone by his side, beside the cold white silk sheets.

"Gem. Look at me. " The Emperor says , slowly turning the other to face him, bringing both his hands to cup the pale cheeks." I'm here, alright? No one is going to hurt you. No one. I promise. "

Jesse let out a little sob , tears touching Jaden's fingers.

It was then Jaden remembered how fragile the one in front of him could be. Despite being a prince for a long time and now a king. The younger had been deprived of many things. Two of them being love and trust.

That's what his father may have thought when he arranged the marriage. Having two broken souls, slowly repair one another.

Jaden's lips stretch in a smile , as he leans in to kiss the other's forehead. He raises his hands ,gently taking off the crown from his husband's head, chuckling when he saw the other's shoulders relax at the loss of weight.

Jaden walks across the room where the crowns are placed and lowers it on its place . His eyes trailing to his own on its side ." I can asks the jeweler to make you an lighter one. You will have to wear this one only on certain important events."

"No! NO!" Jesse blushes when he caught himself, looking at the floor embarrassed. " I like that one.....its our symbol and...Father said it was your mother's...so I want to honor her..."

Jaden felt a small tug on his chest at the reminder of his lost mother, his facial expression falling a bit." As you wish." He says , walking towards his husband once more. He intertwined their fingers and leads him to the bed ,making him sit down ."Will you show me?"

Jesse gulps a bit, suddenly his mouth feeling too dry , nodding his head. Being in his shirt only made it easier to just expose his shoulder , so he did just that . Lowering the sleeve , he avoided Jaden's eyes, keeping his gaze on his own lap.

The angry red scar adored the milky skin of his upper arm. It was bigger than Jimin expected, that's for sure. Jaden glared at it fir quite a while, looking back up he met with worried emerald gems. "Did the healer assign you a cream ?"

"Yeah ,in the second drawer. " Jaden walks in the direction the younger was looking . Stopping by the small bedside table, on the left of the bed , he opens it . Jaden's lips immediately stretched in a smile, seeing all the letters he had sent Jesse, placed neatly in a small wooden box , beside the glass with the cream.

When he looks back at his husband, he couldn't help but laugh a bit , seeing how red he had become. Probably redder than the sheets , that's for sure.

The young emperor sits on the bed on Jesse's left , carefully applying the cream with his fingertips. He leans in placing a soft kiss just over the scar on Jesse's arm . "Beautiful ."

Jesse squeaks ,his eyes wide , feeling an hand over his little-there belly, made his heartbeat rise over the limit.

"Looks like someone has been lacking on training. "

Jaden laughed, stroking around the small bump. He turns Jesse's head to face him , pecking his lips softly. " Been a bad boy, while I was away, Huh?"

Jesse blushes."It's not that....I can't exactly.....Train..."

Jaden's laugh stopped, as Jesse felt those honey brown orbs fixated on his skull. "What are you implying? Jesse, are you sick?"

The worry those chocolate brown eyes held, together with the usage of his own name - made Jesse melt . He could practically hear the worry dripping from his husband's tone. He takes a deep breath, before letting it out.

"I'm with child. Our child."

👑~👑~👑👑~👑~👑

"Your majesty, forgive me for my disrespect, but my I ask why ? " The white haired female stays bowing towards the taller male . "You were clearly set on not leaving him escape alive?"

The man smirks , turning towards her and taking slow steps forward. Dark green eyes fixate on the female's figure. "Easy,...I want him to feel pain."

"But the Emperor-"

"SILENCE!" The man orders, and the woman just leans forward more." That Emperor , that foolish prince " He forces the word out, as if it was some disgusting dirt in his shoe." Is going to pay. For daring to touch what is MINE!"

"Now he doesn't even deserve to die with honor in the battlefield!! That would have been his escape. "...

No, that wasn't the male's first plan . But it could be considered a small part of it.

The whitenette visibly gulps nodding her head quickly, never had she seen her cousin in such a rage . The power that he held in his hands had clearly started to mess with his head . And this wasn't an assumption.

"If ,I may ask....wh-what are your plans your Majesty?"

"Poison. " The calmness in his deep voice, comes deafening to her delicate ears. , clutching her equally white tunic, she bites her lip, waiting for him to continue. " My dear Jaden will die...slowly..."

His sick smile , seriously terrified her.
