An Expensive Honeymoon (Part 2)

The funds that Saleen was actually able to take for himself without fear of criticism from the nobles, were the royal allowance allocated to him as the king. As Sika put it, without any other actual royalty in the Metatrin Kingdom, and only nobles around, these was no one who actually cared about the treasury.

"I'm the only one? Says who?", Saleen said as he caressed Sika's belly gently. There were two children moving about within, who, within a few months, would come to the world.

Sika leaned into Saleen, "It's all thanks to them that you can't actually play with me even if I wanted to. That is fine. I can feel them both inside, and that makes me happy..."

Sika laid down again and snuggled up to Saleen, refusing to let him catch any more beasts. She merely wanted to stay by his side and quietly listen to his heartbeat.
