She held his hand and led him to a seat. Ferdinand understood wordlessly that she wanted him to sit down so he did.

Arabella smiled at the gesture and seated herself on his lap.

Arabella held his hand reassuringly and interlocked their fingers, " I understand you worry about me a lot. It cannot be helped. I worry a lot about you too even if I know you are strong and powerful. But regardless of our worries and fears, we have to do our duties and responsibilities. We are not living in this empire as just two people. We have people counting on us so we have to act even if we have our worries."
