Chapter 7

After several hours of crying, Pearl Crystal goes to the garden to sit among the flowers. Not long after doing so, she is joined by her husband who has just finished up his meeting. "I heard you crying earlier, why was that?" he asked her curiously but calmly.

"It's just this is the first time I've ever missed a Sea Kingdom Annual Ball, that's all, I miss my home," she sighs. "I miss my sisters and my father."

"That's understandable, you haven't been gone that long, you've only been gone five years," replies Rubius. She then falls into his arms and begins to cry some more. He comforts her for hours until she finally cries herself to sleep on his lap. He then carries her inside and puts her into the bed and tucks her in. He then goes off to the castle library to do some reading. Reading helps him unwind after a long day's work and that is truly what he needs right now more than anything else in the world.
