Work Text:
It was a beautiful morning, the sun shone brightly and people doing their work. A merchant, wizard, maid and butler happily doing their job although the maids and butlers doing the work quickly around the third ground,sweat dropping from their head not for the work but for the noise that come form the Emperor room. They finished their job as soon as they can and rushed to the kitchen section. Their mind and face are red for embarrassing in hear of the activity of their Emperor and Empress although they are embarrassed what their hear, they happy that, their Emperor love the Empress and of course they happy with the Empress.
The eyes of the maid meet the other maid eyes, both of them nod toward each other, their mind accepted the word that's spoke.
It seems that we can't clean this morning,we have to clean evening.
I see i understand.
And so their busy daily life become more busy than the other day.
At the Emperor room
At the king sized bed, lay the Emperor and Empress sleep like a baby. They face scream happiness at each other arms, a small smile can be see at their face, the Emperor, Erudian wrap he arm around his Empress, his left arm is being cushion to Yenni head and his right arm is wrap around Yenni waist, they legs tangled with each other with a blanket over their bodies. Erudian groan a little before slowly open his eyes and blink to chase away the sleepiness, his arm is numb for the same position but Eru don't care,he love to wake up and see Yenni face in the first morning.
Eru caressed her beautiful bubblegum hair and lightly kiss Yenni hair.
To wake up and see my princess first the moment i open my eyes.
Eru lightly smile before kissed her forehead. The action cause some stir in Yenni and woke her up, she rub her eyes and yawn before proceed to cuddle at Eru chest. Eru chuckle a little seeing the action of his princess. Yenni, who still sleepy, pout she know that Eru laugh at her and glance at Eru still with her pouty face. Eru see this feel his heart thump, he bought his hand, hug her and caress her
"Yereni-"
Thump
Thump
Thump
"Mama, father, why are you still in bed, is afternoon already and father stop hogging mama please," the knock of their front door and the boyish sound of their son awake them fully for their loving dovey morning (ahem) afternoon. Yenni scrambled to go up, wear her night gown and open the door. A little boy 2 years old stare at Yenni, the boy is almost identical to her husband with the perfect silver hair and red purple.
Yenni smile brightly at her son, "oh Debbie what's wrong, is there something happen dear," Yenni softly said while hug her son, she didn't see how Deckard tight the hug, smirk a little at his father while stuck his tongue a little. Eru seeing this feel a little angry.
This little--
"Mama, debbie want to eat with mama, debbie lonely," Deckard show his sad face, he face is full on puppy eyes and Yenni heart clenching seeing the adorable face of her son, in her heart she nagging at Eru,the reason that she woke up late again. Yenni pat her son "alright let's go dear," Deckard give a little hop and hug Yenni tightly, little does she know, his son, Deckard is smirking in accomplished.
Now i got Mama, father can't always take mama away, is always father who hog mama, i want mama too
In his heart, he praised himself that he got to hog his mama with this way although he got this idea all for seeing his father tricks, he will not acknowledged his father just because he do the same as his father.
Yenni smile brightly and take Deckard in her arms, she take and wrap Deckard hand around her neck to secure her son for falling. Yenni turned and smile at Eru who try to control his expression although yenni didn't know that.
"Eru, can i eat first with Deckard I'm afraid he will feel hungry later and growing boy need to eat a lot of nutrients food," Yenni smile playfully at Deckard,giving him a little blew raspberry completely missing Eru shocked face although not at Deckard, Deckard got to see the full shocked face of his father and snuggle deeper at his mama, still face him while smirk. "alright we going to eat okay Deckard, let's go," yenni wink at Eru before going to the dining room with Deckard.
With Yenni out, the room become quiet. Eru didn't realized how impact Yenni is to his room, a few year ago he just think it is an essential to sleep but now it become a safe haven to his. A place he can rest at her beloved without restraint, judges and being assassinated and he loves it, no word can described how he feel that day. But now, he suddenly miss Yenni, his beloved princess, just when he wants to cuddle with Yenni that little-
exhale inhale exhale inhale
Eru take a breath and let it out, he try to control his emotion but still can't and so he glare hard at the his clothe. Eru tidy himself and prepared for the usually thing. He take his coat from the maid and wear it, go out of the room and face with Perrik and count Iven who expression was a bit panic. Eru stare at them and raised one eyebrow.
"What happened,"
"You- Your Majestic, you late for the meeting between every local mayor, they are waiting for Your Majestic," Count Iven face was full of panic when he speak to the Emperor, he panic is not toward the Emperor but toward the local mayor. He was surprise that, there are a new mayor but the attitude, it make him feel like a near death.
Oh Raulus, please safe us for the full anger of the Emperor
Eru only nod and frown a little before walking toward the meeting room. Perrik and Count Iven can only nod and follow the Emperor while gulped at the scene that will come. Both are resigned toward the outcome that will come and pray that something can avoid it.
"Mama, please eat too," a puppy eyes Deckard show towards his mama, he always see that his mama always eat slow or rarely eat. He worry that he mama will fall sick like the other maid, he saw. The maid faint suddenly in front of him but after that, he can't remembered anything and the only he remembered is wake up in a bed with both his parents at his side and her beloved mother crying at her father arms, the night after his wake up, quietly in their room -he didn't mean to eavesdropping them he just want to drink warm milk at the kitchen- and he really don't want to make his mama cry and sad again.
Deckard turn his head to one of the maid at the back, " can you give my mama a late breakfast for her, please be light dish," Deckard strictly said to the one of the maid before turn to his beloved mother, eyes instantly turn soft the minute Deckard see his mama constrast to the how his speak to the maid just a while ago.
The maid who Deckard spoke just a while ago, only nod and went to the kitchen, already know how their young master love toward their Empress.
"Ahh, Debbie it's okay dear, mom is not really hun-" Yenni word got cut off when her stomach suddenly let out a gurgling sound. Her face go red from the embarrassed, Deckard only smile proudly for he is proud to tell that his mama is hungry on time before eating back his food.
Just then a knock at the door sound before a butler and maid come with a tray of simply but healthy food, the butler than take the food to serve the Empress. Yenni nervously smile and prepare to eat the food before a nausea smell come to her mouth that make her want to puke, she try to resist but find it can't, Yenni quickly turn her head and block her nose and mouth.
Deckard, who eating the food happily caught her mother paleness face, his face wide with horror, the spoon he hold slack and drop to the floor.
Clack
Clack
Deckard got up and rushing to his mama.
"MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,"
Erudian is bored. He don't want to hear another baseless nonsense that come for the new mayor, just because he approved of his way of idea. Erudian sigh, he lean to the throne chair and just hear what they talk about, just he want to said something he heart squeezed tightly and his heartbeat thump fast. He feel like he want to jump out of the chair but before he can up, one of Yenni's butler come in without knocking. He almost shout at him, when he see the complexion of the butler, he eyes narrow to the butler.
"Speak," the tone he use make the butler flinch before bowing low, speak with a frightened sound.
"Y-your Ma-majestic the Empress is-is-is-"
BAMMMM
Eru slam his hand at the armrest, his eyes narrow immediately when the word 'Empress' come, the whole room fell in silent. He slowly got up to the throne and march towards the door.
" Count Iven"
" Yes, your Majesty,"
"Perrik,"
"By your side I'm here Your Majestic,"
"Let's go,"
Erudian eyes narrow in anger and worried, anger for himself that he not at his Empress side and worry for his Empress, wishing that he can always stay at her side. He step heavy but fast and the servants nervously step back not meeting the eyes of the Emperor and continued to bow low.
"Blerghhh,"
Yerenica puke at the side, surrounding by the maids and butler. The maids hold their Empress side by side ignored the puke waste and continued to hold the Empress, gently stroke the Empress back.
BAMMM
Heads turn toward the door that be force open loudly, the maids and butlers quickly get up and bow toward the Emperor excluding the maids who hold the Empress, when they see the Emperor come with alarmed face. Erudian look around and see his princess resting at the side of the maids with a tired face. Erudian quickly come at her side and take his princess with a careful, afraid that his princess will hurt if he move roughly. Erudian eyes search to see what hurt his princess from her face to her legs but still can't find anything -well maybe the bit of puke he see but he ignored it, it can clean, his yenni is in danger- Erudian head went to his aide, Perrik.
"Call the imperial doctor, perrik,"
"Yes, your majestic,"
"Immediately Perrik,"
"Yes, your majestic!!"
Erudian than carry Yenni carefully with caution to not make Yenni dizzy again when he see that his Yenni is unconscious and went to their bedroom ignored the maids and the butlers scramble to follow them. Immediately seeing their bed, Erudian gently take Yenni to bed, and put down her slowly with caution. He frowned a bit when he see the slightly pale of yenni face, stroke the cheek and tuck a hair behind the ear before kiss Yenni forehead.
Erudian turn, seeing the maids and the butlers present already, he cross his arms and face them when he see the one he ask doesn't come.
"Where is the imperial doctor,"
They shudder, shiver at the tone they Emperor use. They glance at each other afraid to see before the head maid come in front of them. She composed herself and bow respectly to their Emperor
"The imperial doctor is outside the door, we here to inform that he is here, Your Majestic,"
"Make him come, quick,"
"Yes, your Majestic,"
They breath out relieved even though the Emperor is not like the old times, stern, emotionless and always think about the country they still be careful though the Emperor is doing much better all due to their beautiful Empress and the unspoken rules that everyone understand is, always be caution when the Empress is sick.
A knock come and an old man with long beard come, sweat nervously when he see the Emperor wait and stare hard to himself, he bow to the Emperor.
"This humble doctor will check the Empress, your Majestic,"
With a nod from the Emperor, the imperial doctor come to the side of the bed and take yenni hand slowly--
PAKKKK
The sound of smack resonant through the room, the imperial doctor sweat even more than before when he see the action of the Emperor, the sting of the slap of the Emperor burn at the arm of the doctor. Erudian stare judging at the doctor, the more the time pass the more the doctor is afraid to speak.
"What.do.you.think.you.doing.imperial.doctor,"
The doctor gulp and bow low, his back is riddled with sweat that even Erudian notice unfortunately Erudian only ignored it.His only glare hard to the doctor who is bowing to him.
"Yo-your ma-majestic, this-this humble doctor just want to check the pulse of the Empress nothing more, your majestic,"
Erudian glare before the glare shimmer a bit, he let out a sigh and pinch his nose before let it go. He uncross his arm and relax his body before turn to one of the maid.
"Give me water and food that will good for sick and that boost the energy, imperial doctor you can continued," with that Erudian take a chair and place beside the bed yenni lay and take her hand slowly caress the hand.
The imperial bow gratefully and take the other hand to check the pulse. A minutes pass, the doctor smile happily.
"Congratulation, your majestic, it seem Raulus is blessing us with another royal children, your majestic,"
Erudian stop caress her hand, hand tremble. he stare shock at Yenni even though he know Yenni will not see his reaction. He stop himself and turn to face the doctor.
" it--it--it's true, if not i will not tolerance lies in here," the stuttered turn to hard. Erudian narrow his eyes at the doctor.
"No your majestic, this humble doctor did not lie,"
Erudian breath out and in before let go the doctor and the servants out not before giving the doctor some reward. Erudian hold Yenni hand tightly before kiss it, a kiss of grateful and love. Erudian gaze at yenni(still hold her hand, hold it closely at his temple) full of adore at the beautiful person who give him joy and excited life that he always look forward too.
Yenni stir a bit before open her eyes, she blink a bit to make the blur go before scan her surrounding. Eyes astonishing, baffled that she at her and Eru rooms. She feel an eyes and turn left to see Eru hold her hand with slightly smile. Yenni make a face that make Eru lose the smile the only left is deadpanned toward yenni before shake head
At least, princess is well to make that attitude.
Yenni stare at Eru that make Eru stare at her back, eyebrow raise at yenni, confused. Yenni pout a bit, Eru just stare with confused his mind can't commute with yenni.
"Why you don't said anything Eru, like maybe try to said you okay, dear do you need anything drink, water or food but nooo you need to be silent like a log,a freaking wood," yenni huff, a bit tired of her outburst and stare at her blanket a minute.

Bonus
Raulus in dog form peer at the couple, huff indifferent at both. They both look dazzling in a beautiful way, suit each other like a pair of sun and moon, Raulus remember the sun that shone brightly that illuminated the sky, the one give the nutrients to other and give strength while the moon is show other themselves strength, the one people gaze at, admired at but can't reach. The moon that constantly be alone even though always been surrounding by beautiful thing but still live alone until the meeting of the sun.
They fit perfectly with each other, bright and distant, happy and strict. Raulus can only said opposite attracted, they support each other and do together and he can only pray that this couple is together until they old. Raulus get up for his place and quietly went out of the room, he probably been really annoyed with the sweet scene if he stay too long, with last look Raulus close the door.
