Deep darkness was casting a full black light in the room. On a deep night when everyone was resting in the arms of the Goddess of Sleep, a man still wake up, sitting alone against the bed.
With one hand pressing his forehead, he frowned his straight brows deeply, as if there was something wrong with him.
How much time passed?
The man, who had been sitting in that position for a long time, slowly raised his head and looked at the empty seat next to him. His deep blue eyes were shining in the dark room where there was no window.
“Tia…”
His wife, the empress was not beside him. With low voice, he calling her name, who he missed so dearly and he breathed a long sigh.
It’s been a month since she left.
The sleepless nights that have been going on for a while finally seemed to have reached its peak today. He can’t fall asleep even though his eyes were dried out from mounting fatigue felt painful.
When he can get out from this sleepless night?
Ruve sighed once again and rubbed his stinging temple firmly.
It was only a few days ago when he received her letter that asked for a little more time for her to stay in the state. Then, he sent her a reply, telling her to enjoy her stay more and pretending he was alright.
And, he regretted that he had granted her request. He was deeply regretful and think that he should have let go of his pride and everything and told her to coming back.
[‘No, maybe I shouldn’t have let you go there from the beginning’]
Thinking about what happened a month ago, Ruve frowned unconsciously. Was it a problem that he accepted Marquis Monique’s request readily at the thought of winning Tia’s heart by all means?
According to his promise before marriage, Tia, his lovely wife was the empress and at the same time she’s also the successor of the Monique family.
So, Ruve he had no excuse to turn a blind eye to her earnest request to visit the state with her father. Moreover, it’s her first time visiting there in almost ten years.
[‘Well, whatever it is, it’s fine if Tia is happy.’]
Ruve muttered as if he was sighing, then pulled the string.
Shortly afterwards, a servant on standby outside came in and asked politely, “Your Majesty, I’m ready to accept your order.”
“Get me some candles, and…”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Anything else ?”
He thought about going to his office for a moment, but Ruve immediately gave up his thoughts and waved lightly at the servant. The work he brought last night was a lot anyway, and he didn’t think to cause unnecessary burden and bother many people at a very late hour.
“That’s enough. Just bring the candle.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
A servant with a deep bow lit the candles in the emperor’s spacious room.
Ruve smiled bitterly at the scarlet light that began to fill his bedroom little by little.
Before he got married to Tia, this was his daily routine. RUve had been accustomed to living alone in the empty room and worked until late at night.
Until Tia came to his life, he found it very hard to go to sleep alone because he got used to the comfort and relaxation she gave.
After a long sigh, he got back to work, but closed the documents after reading them with blurred eyes for some time. His eyes were so dried out that he couldn’t read anything because I couldn’t sleep properly.
He seemed to be having a headache that calmed him down. As he could not stand it anymore, Ruve removed the papers, then lay back in bed and closed his eyes.
He didn’t know his bed was so wide. Without her, it looked so spacious and empty today.
[‘What is she doing by now?’]
[‘Is she also can’t sleep because she missed him?’]
[‘Or is she sleeping peacefully as usual?”]
When he recalled Tia’s sleeping face, his nerves, which had been tense all along, finally subsided a little. He seemed to feel relaxed a bit after being on edge all day long.
All aspects of her were lovely, he loved all of her. But among them, what he loved most was her sleeping figure in his arms.
Whenever she slept peacefully as if she forgot all her bitter memories of the past, leaving her everything to him, it’s always filled his heart with pride
His feeling was so good whenever he looked at her sleeping face. So Ruve always woke up a little earlier than her and stared at her for a while.
But after that, he couldn’t control his desire and kissed her pink lips.
Tia will wake up, and her golden eyes that were revealed by her fluttering eyelashes were so beautiful.
When he thought of her soft body and her sweet lips, the heat suddenly rose from below, he felt he was having a sexual pleasure all of a sudden.
Ruve broke into a smile when he get a ‘hard-on’ that came along even when he was exhausted from work.
Maybe he was so tired that he couldn’t keep his body and soul.
It’s already been eight years since he married her. In the meantime they had a baby girl who looks just like her, but whenever he think of her, his body would show a honest response just like now.
People say, after several years of marriage most men lived with their spouses through thick and thin, high and low, not with love anymore. But for Ruve, he was obviously not in that category.
Judging from the circumstances so far, it was clear that he would never be able to break away from her. By his behavior patterns until now, it was evident that he could not stop loving her.
[‘I think it was right that I made such an oath back then.’]
Instead of pledging to love her only at the risk of his own life, Tia was also involved with him for the rest of her life.
Without his oath that day, it was evident that it would be very difficult for Ruve to overcome the situation, it was clear that Tia, would always suspected and scared of him.
When he thought about those days when he was nervous and restless because of others trying to win her heart, Ruve suddenly had a sizzling smile around his lips.
[‘To be honest, it was a miracle that i could endured it without going crazy with jealousy at that time.’]
Only now Ruve could reminisce with a smile, but at that time he had to calm down his violent temper several times a day whenever he thought about her back then.
People around her valued her so much, and they were the people she cared about. And he knew clearly that if he hurt her feelings for nothing, she would not really look back at him again.
That’s why Ruve still living in a daze. Without her he can’t live as a devoted husband.
But he genuinely thought that wasn’t too bad.
As the emperor, Ruve already had everything in the world, but whenever he saw Tia smiling, he felt like he really had the whole world.
He could feel that.
Even though Ruve listened to her pillow talk every night, he knew when he talk with her, he could have her agree with him nine out of ten times.
Of course, Ruve had to be ready for her nagging the next day. But it doesn’t matter for him, because Tia would carry it out as he wished.
Though he barely calmed down his strong sexual desire a moment ago. The heat that had barely subsided suddenly rose again.
When he recalled her narrowing her eyes sharply with a full disheveled look, he found himself turned on again.
Ruve groaned and buried his head in the pillow. Being sexless for one month was driving him crazy.
”I’m afraid I have to change my job to be a priest if she’s not coming back”
Suddenly Ruve became cynical, thinking like that, and hysterically pulled the blanket over his head.
Ruve swear, as soon as Tia comes back to the palace, he’ll nail her to the bed and make love with her three days in straight.
