43. Another Cryptic Master

Juliette's POV:

After making up with Seb, I quickly went to the bathroom to shower before he gets any ideas.

As soon as I'm done, I scramble out of the bathroom wearing my royal blue pajama pants along with a black long-sleeved shirt.

I've tied my slightly wet hair into a messy bun, knowing that it'll just fall on my face while tossing and turning anyway.

After gazing at a thoughtful Sebastian - whose eyes are glaring at the celing with a passion - I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

What could he be thinking about that has him so deep in his brain?

"Everything alright there?" I ask him, who seemed to snap out of his thoughts finally and graces me with his beautiful eyes.

"Not really, baby. I'm thinking about our Kingdom and the possible dangers it might be facing soon." He replies thoughtfully, and I frown even more.

I've never faced a serious and thoughtful Sebastian for more than three minutes. What do I do with him now?

"Seb, you do know that we'll get through this stronger than ever, right?" I say confidently, and he sighs before looking at the ceiling again, and I roll my eyes before approaching him.

"Sebastian Theodore, you, more than anyone, should know how much I support you in any decision that you make, but you being this...serious....it's freaking me out." I say honestly, but I roll my eyes at myself.

What a wonderful pep talk, Queen Juliette.

"Look, we'll get through this. There's absolutely no way that we won't." I say before cupping his face so his gaze is upon me.

"How do you know for sure? I've never acquired such trouble before, and I've been a fucking King for more than fifty years!!" He breathes out, and I sigh before a small smile graces my lips.

"Call it an intuition. I've been having those since I've become Queen." I say simply, and that's when he gives me something I've been yearning for ever since I've cone out of that bathroom.

A breathtaking smile.

"As my Queen and my Mate, you just may be right." He says, and my smile quickly turns into a grin.

"So you finally remember that I'm your Mate? That's an improvement, to say the least." I say before kissing his forehead, and he chuckles before pulling me to his chest, where he places his warm arms around me.

"I'll never forget that I'm your Mate, Juli, and that's a promise I aim to keep." He whispers, and I feel my cheeks heating up.

"Such bold words for an insecure King." I tease, and I can feel him rolling his eyes.

"Never forget that I'm just as insecure as much as you're a hugger." He says, and I fight the urge to slap his bicep.

"You're such a douche." I mutter as I feel the arms of sleep start to grab hold of me.

"Only for you, baby. Have a goodnight." Seb says, and I kiss one of his abs before getting comfortable.

"Have a good night, mi corazon." I said before accepting the embrace of sleep gratefully, after all, today has been s long day.

As soon as I open my eyes, I realize that I'm in a field.
It's not like any other field I've been in before, but yet I feel an odd sense of attachment to...well, everything that's on this field - even if all there is are wheat sticks or whatever they're called; I never really paid attention in class.
