"Bring the crown princess a glass of water." 

Joaquin glanced at the maid, who returned with them while he escorted Aries back to the Sapphire Palace. Since everyone helped put out the fire, they somehow calmed it down. So when they were certain it wouldn't spread, he escorted his wife back to the Sapphire Palace for her to rest for the night. 

"Thank you," Aries expressed, sitting on the edge of the mattress and smiling meekly at him. Joaquin perched on her side, nodding at her as a response. "Will you stay for the night?"

"As much as I want to, I have a duty to make sure everything is in order." He sighed and raised his hand to her side, brushing her cheek with his thumb. "I'll visit you once things settled down."

Her lips pressed into a thin line. "I know," cradling his wrist, keeping her eyes on him. "Joaquin, is there something going on I must know about?"

"There's none that is worthy of your concern."

"Are you sure?"
