Love After Marriage
(From Blue's Perspective)
I returned to my room with Ruby after the swordsmanship lesson. We were taking care not to wake Sapphire, who had fallen asleep in her arms. She was so cute when she slept that it was impossible not to be careful.
It was funny how we pretended that Sapphire was a little kid without even discussing it.
"Your Highness truly learns very quickly," she said in a low voice. "I think if Your Highness practices every day, you will be very great at wielding a sword."
"I don't have to be perfect, but I do need to be able to save myself. It doesn't feel good to have to rely on someone all the time," I said. "Ack, I am sweating like hell!"
"I'll get the bath ready," she said. "Let me first put Sapphire in her bed."
Sapphire slept on the bed Perita had made for her. It was tiny and cute. Sapphire really liked the bed, so I decided to improve it a little so she could be more comfortable.
