Chapter 588: 588 Want To See The Stars

As if on cue, the silver-haired elf appeared on the ship where Drayce and Slayer were standing. The two men could not help but look down towards what Yorian was carrying in his arms.

“Not like we won’t provide you with meals here that you went to get food for yourself,” Drayce commented as he looked at the bunch of freshly-plucked coconuts.

“This is not for me, but for the one who will be seasick soon,” Yorian answered as a few more things appeared in his hands out of thin air. “These as well.”

Drayce jumped down from the base of the mast as he spoke, “My wife sure is collecting the people who would take care of her even before she asks.”

That statement was meant for both Slayer and Yorian.

“As a senior, it is only natural that I take care of the younger generation,” Yorian clarified. “I would do the same to you, but you aren’t as pleasing to the eyes as your wife.”

Meanwhile, Slayer said nothing. He had no inclination to give unnecessary explanations, and with Drayce, he never had the need to do so.

“I never doubted your intentions,” Drayce countered as he looked at those fresh coconuts. “You are of some use. It was good to bring you along.”

“I can do more than just getting the coconuts, that’s why you brought me here,” Yorian countered. “Tsk. Not really pleasing to the eyes.”

“Well, can’t deny it,” Drayce said and he looked at his wife who was starting to look a little unwell. “Slayer, you can help him with this,” Drayce spoke and left to go to his wife. He held the rope, and with one swift move, the young king landed next to his wife.

Thud!

The sound of his boots on the wooden floorboards made Seren look at him. Though she wore a veil and thus her pale lips could not be seen, her swaying body was telling him she was starting to feel woozy. He walked closer to his wife. “Are you not feeling well, my Queen?”

“I am fine but…but I think my head feels a little heavy…a little uncomfortable…”

Drayce closed the distance between them and hugged her gently to support her upright body. “You must be feeling seasick.”

“Seasick?” she asked while resting her head at his chest.

“Hmm!” He gently caressed her head. “Though, it is good that it is a mild one. Others would feel nausea or worse, even vomit. It must be because it’s your first time travelling by ship. It gets better once you are used to the swaying of the ship. How about you rest inside for the meantime?”

“I think I should.”

Drayce held her hand and guided her way towards the cabins under the deck floor. They entered the door attached to the elevated platform which had a staircase to go inside the ship. As they reached the cabins, Drayce informed her, “I kind of expected this to happen so I had the cabin next to mine prepared for my Queen. It is the place where you will feel the least movement. Everything you need—”

“Can’t I stay in your cabin, Dray?” Seren asked as she continued to follow him.

Drayce stopped and looked at her. “Of course, you can. I thought you might like to have your own cabin so…”

“I would like to stay with you. And the last time when I visited your cabin on the ship, I already had a plan of staying there.”

“Let’s go to my cabin then. If you need something, I’ll get it there for you.”

Seren nodded as the two went to Drayce’s cabin. As she entered the room, she noticed everything was the same as the one in her memories—clean, fresh, and beautiful with a touch of mystery. The cabin smelled like fresh wood which helped calm her senses, the growing discomfort inside her head slowly fading.

Just behind, the ornate desk was another set of stairs that led towards the bedding place.

Drayce was about to lift her to carry her to the bed but she stopped, “I can walk. I am not that sick, Dray.”

Drayce offered her an accusing gaze, “Now you don’t want me to lift you.”

“It’s not that. But don’t treat me like I am so weak. I feel like I am always a burden to you as you always have to take care of me,” she replied as she held his hand, signalling him to walk on the stairs.

He walked with her, “I love to do anything for you. It’s not a burden at all. But, I will do as you wish.”

“Thank you,” she said and continued to walk. The moment she reached there, her gaze followed the slant glass ceiling above the bed. The last time she had seen it and wished if it was a night and she could see the stars from here.

Seeing her silent, he asked, “What happened, My Queen?”

“I am curious to see the stars in the night from here. Last time you said, it looks beautiful in the night,” she said and walked towards the bed as Drayce helped her climb it.

“I can make you see the stars even in daytime,” he said, a teasing smirk painted on his lips. “If you wish I can…”

Cough!

A Light blush covered her cheeks as Seren understood what Drayce meant. She quickly corrected him, “I will wait for the night so I can see the stars in the sky from this glass ceiling.”

“Well, then night it is,” Drayce covered her with the quilt and made her sleep comfortably. “Doesn’t matter to me if it’s night or a day as long as I can show you stars.”

Seren felt like there was no escape for her from his teasing and pulled the quilt over her face to hide her embarrassment.

Drayce chucked at her adorable action. “My Queen, you will suffocate yourself.”

“Uhm, I am fine,” came her voice from under the quilt.

“You will feel more sick like this.”

“Then stop teasing me.”

“Fine, I won’t.”

Seren moved the quilt down only till her eyes as she peeked at him.

“I will ask your servants to get something for you to eat and drink. You will feel better.”

He looked serious and she finally let go of the quilt. “But you don’t like it if female servants enter your place.”

Inside the King’s residence in the palace, no women were allowed other than those who were permitted. It was the rule set by the previous king Theron and Drayce followed it as both were the same in this matter.

“It’s fine, if it’s for you, my Queen.”

Seren shook her head. “But I am not fine.”

“Then shall I be your servant for a day if you don’t mind?”

“Umm, I can do everything on my own. So no need.”

“But I want to be,” he insisted.

Seren thought it wouldn’t be much so she agreed, “Fine.”

Drayce immediately felt excited. “My Queen, you must be feeling uncomfortable in such a heavy dress. Let me help you change into a lighter one so you can rest comfortably.”

Seren understood the evil intentions of her husband. “I am very comfortable in these clothes. I am just thirsty at the moment. I want to drink something,” and held the quilt tight so he wouldn’t take it out.

“Fine. I will help you change at night. For now, I will bring something for you to drink and eat.”

Drayce stood up and left while Seren let out a sigh of relief, “He is so cunning,” and closed her eyes as her head felt a little dizzy.
