I do not own Soredemo Sekai Wa Utsukushii

Rated M-due to the type of anime it is

~After the anime~

The kiss ends, I scoot down the grass to lie down on Livi's chest. His arm wraps around my shoulders and I listen to his heartbeats. It is a first time that I am being affectionate like this, but I've missed him.

"How long do you think we have until Neil shows up?" I ask.

"My beautiful wife, don't think about Neil," Livi replies withy annoyance in his voice.

I smile and open my eyes to look up at the blue skies. Seconds later, a shadow looms over us. I blink and jump about a foot into the air. Livi scoots back and jumps onto his feet as well.

"Your Majesty! Princess Nike! How many times do I have to say this? No flirting on the job!" Neil, the butler yells at us.

"Neil, come on, I haven't seen my wife in days. All this work is getting tiring. I need a break," Livi says.

"Your majesty, I completely understand. Now, we need to get ready to celebrate your sixteenth birthday," Neil says.

Well, that's a way to switch the subject. I blink and then yell in surprise. "What?" I look back to Livi.

He smirks and crosses his arms.

"You… you are turning sixteen?" I ask.

He rolls his eyes. "Yes, what, did you think I am twelve or something?"

"Well, yes," I reply, truthfully.

Livi sends me a death glare and I blush from my stupidity. I never thought to ask him his age.

Neil coughs to gain both of our attentions. "I will have Bard continue with the rest while the both of you will learn to dance as a couple. The grand ball will open when you two dance the first dance."

I look between the two men and fall to the ground. I can't dance to save my life, especially with Livi. This is going to be bad and he will end up hating me because I will ruin his birthday ball.

Once again, a shadow falls over me. I look up to see Livi smiling. He ruffles my hair and leans in forward. "You will be fine because you are my wife."

I smile at him. His encouraging words, helped me regain my usual attitude.

"Then, let's start dancing," I smile and get up.
