Worried

(From Blue's Perspective)

I had no idea when I fell asleep last night in Dem's arms. His embrace was warm as always. When I woke up, it was almost ten in the morning. 

"It's okay if Your Highness wants to sleep some more," Ruby said. Ruby's eyes were puffy. It seemed she did not sleep enough. 

"Did you not sleep, Ruby?" I asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, Your Highness," she said quickly with a frail smile. "Please do not worry about me."

I knew what happened. Ruby thought something serious happened to me and surely cried a lot. She did so last time as well. And she surely spent the whole time taking care of me without resting. 

"Ruby, don't push yourself too much. You need to take care of yourself as well," I said. 

Ruby bit her lower lip as if she was suppressing something and then suddenly bent on her knees by the bedside. She laid her head on my lap and started crying suddenly.
