The Punishment

(From Blue's Perspective)

We returned to Querencia three days after the banquet. After that night, Cyan went to the magic tower of Querencia and stayed there. He said there were a lot of things to discuss. I could not just leave right away, so I came back three days later. 

It was the first time in two months that I got cramps. The cramps were not too bad, but my mood ended up becoming grumpy. We went straight to the magic tower and I ended up throwing up for fifteen minutes. 

"Do you want to lie down, Your Highness?" Ruby asked. 

"No, I just want to sit down. My back hurts from bending like that for fifteen minutes," I said and took a seat in a chair. "Dion has been grumpy since morning, I don't know why. He has been crying for a long time. I don't know why both he and I are feeling this way at the same time."

"Something about the weather?" Ruby mumbled. "It's really hot these days. Maybe that's why."

"Maybe."
