Rose of Decade~ {Chp.21} ~ Rough Awakening
Hizaki P.O.V.
The next morning I woke up and had troubles with getting up. I started to doubt my own capability as a mother. I was male…How would the baby come out? Doctors messed up so often, killing both the child and mother…I did not wish to risk that…
I sighed and moved to the bathroom, again I had to throw up; Morning sickness drove me mad! I had not eaten much and I was starting to get dizzy!
A pout graced my features as I brushed my hair with my fingers, trying to untangle the mess I call hair.
My eyes scanned the bedroom as I returned to it, blushing at the beautiful dress that was laid out on the bed. I wanted to thank my prince, but he seemed to have left.
Another pout came to my features as I moved to one single red rose that was laid upon a silver tray. As I walked closer I noticed there was a small letter on it.
Such a thoughtful person my lovely prince was!
I Smiled at the letter which read as followed;
Dear Princess,
The dress is nothing to compare your beauty with, please, despite that, wear it as we are moving to a different location. Breakfast will be served soon, so please do not worry about that.
Rest, Beautiful Rose, for when I come back, we will have a long journey ahead of us.
Yours only,
Kamijo
My heart was skipping a beat or two as I read that. We were going on a trip? The dress did not match my beauty?
A blush came onto my face as I held the letter close to my heart, butterflies twirling in my pregnant stomach as I tried to hold back my excited squeal.
Slowly I put the letter down and got rid of the dress I was wearing now…Or well it was more one big nightgown. My eyes looked over to the beautiful red dress, quickly putting it on.
It covered my belly perfectly and did not put any pressure on it! Oh my prince was truly thinking ahead of things!
It calmed me to think he tried his best…That he…acted as if we were equals, though inside of me I knew he was a rank higher than me... I'd never deny such a thing.
After I had dressed myself and somehow made myself ready to present myself a knock caught my attention. Shyly I walked over and opened the door, opening it, watching the plate with food being placed down on the table.
The girl that brought the food glared at me. I knew her, she used to hit me and what not… She used to enjoy making me feel low.
Under slaves, only the strongest survive.
I smiled politely at her, ignoring her hateful glare which seemed to anger her even more. I was oblivious to that and moved to my food, watching her leave and close the door rather loudly behind her as she did.
It startled me but it did not bring me off my appetite. Actually, as I moved that silver covering off my food I nearly dug in like a swine.
I held back though and ate with the cutlery, a bit amazed by all this. Unfortunately my hunger was only stilled partly and I was not allowed to leave my room…
I sighed and wondered what I could do, placing the rose in my hair before laying back down on the bed, sighing as watched the door, my hand rubbing my belly softly.
A long journey? To where? Prince what did you plan out?
Either way, I trust you…
Within moments my eyes got heavy and sleep claimed my busy mind. It seemed that ever since I got pregnant I needed to sleep so much more than I used to!
Was this normal?...Nothing in my whole being was normal anymore now was it?
After only a short slumber, or well, so it seemed to me, my prince kissed me awake.
His lovely lips against mine were the best wake up all ever! I tried to look around in the room but everything was pitch black, which made me draw the conclusion that it was rather late.
Confused I look at my prince, gasping slightly as he picked me up "I'm sorry princess, I will bring food for you in a moment" He said softly, his deep voice soothing all of my worries.
Within a blink of my eye we stood outside, or well, he held me in his arms still, bridal style as we stood in front of his carriage.
I was soon placed inside and had a tray on my lap with again delicious food! Again I ate it, still hungry from before.
After I was done the plate was just thrown out of the carriage that was moving by now. My prince did not seem to care about the pure silver plate he had thrown away, at all! It made me wonder about how much money my prince possessed.
Curiously I looked at him, blushing as he smiled at me "You look beautiful, princess" He said, my cheeks heating up even more at the compliment he gave me.
How come he could do this to me with the simplest words?
"Thank you" I replied softly, smiling back, watching as he moved to sit down next to me, warping an arm around my waist. My head moved to lean against his chest as his hand moved to my belly, making me smile slightly.
" Are you afraid, Hizaki?" He asked, making me nod my head
Yes, I am afraid but…I'm excited…and…happy!
He chuckled and kissed my hand softly "we will arrive tomorrow after noon, I hope you can hold up that long in this tight space" He said making me smile.
"With you by my side, everything is possible" I spoke softly, smiling a bit as my prince his free hand moved through my hair, making me feel save.
I was about to fall asleep but a sudden halting of the carriage made me gasp and nearly fall off the bench I sat on; Luckily my prince caught me though.
I frowned and gasped as suddenly the door beside of my prince was slammed open, my heart went wild in my chest as….
