Chapter 60 - Surprise or Shock?

The King's room.

"To be honest, I was going to ask you that day regarding how you would like the design of the birdhouse, but after some thought, I feel that it would be better for me to figure out that by myself. I hope you don't mind about it," said the King as carefully polished a small detail on that birdhouse in his hand.

"I am alright with that, Your Majesty, anything would do. But Your Majesty, you really should get onto your bed now, you have been working for almost the whole day, and I heard you coughing just now," said Rei who sounds rather concerned.

"Well, I am not really sleepy right now, but don't worry, after I get this done, I will be going to bed for sure. As for the coughing, I believe it's due to the dryness in the air, I have adjusted the humidifier just now, so, it should not be a problem," said the King.

Rei sheepishly nodded as she listened to the King's 'excuses'.
