The Reason for Marriage
Chapter 22.1
After Anriq bowed his head and took a step back, after hearing the direct order, he proceeded to jump out of the open window from whence he’d come, disappearing into the pitch-black darkness. Iveca felt paralyzed by fear, now that they were the only two people in the spacious bedroom, and Daniel stood towering in front of her.
“Do not catch a cold,” he said, his tone sounding different now, and goosebumps crept up on the back of her neck. “The wound hasn’t healed properly.” Hearing his usual sweet words, Iveca shuddered and looked up at him to see him smiling so beautifully as usual. “I got a report from Olita that you can go to work in two days. If you want to rest more, why not take a few more days off?” He spoke as if nothing had happened, with kind, gentle words, accompanied by a sweet smile.
Although Iveca hadn’t caught a cold, she still felt a chill, and because of that, she clutched the hem of her pajamas trying to cover herself more. She couldn’t bring herself to think that he was somewhat a crazy person, even after witnessing the sudden change in his disposition. Barely able to keep her composure she replied cautiously, “I, I have a lot of work to do so…. I will go to work in two days.”
“I don’t want you to go to work. It is terrible for the Queen to be exposed to danger. If you want to stop, tell me. I am thinking of that as an option.”
“I don’t want to stop,” Iveca said in a hurry, just in case he asked her to quit. She instinctively wondered if this was what Anriq had meant by her acting like ‘His Majesty’s dog’.
Daniel smiled slightly and ruffled her hair playfully, “We also received a report from the Bureau of Investigation. We lost them, but I don’t think we will give up. The guards attached to the Queen were wounded, but I don’t think that we could’ve prevented this, even though there were other escorts, so now the Bureau of Investigation staff will be assigned at the Judicial Affair Bureau as well.”
“I see.”
“There were a lot of complex issues, so I didn’t want the Bureau of Investigation to get involved. It’s difficult for me to trust them now. Frankly speaking, I am very wary of them. I previously had a different opinion of Rihan Kadmin.”
“I didn’t know that.”
“Anyway, there were only two people who were assigned by the Bureau of Investigation, but I think I will walk along with you every day, from the Palace to the Judicial Affair Bureau.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t trust the Bureau of Investigation, so it will be a warning for them.”
Iveca looked at him with big eyes as she listened to his calm, loving voice, which was a gentle tone that couldn’t compare to the rough voice that she’d listened to when she was dealing with Anriq. Rather than feeling relieved, Iveca was more concerned about the sense of incongruity he exuded, to the extent that she couldn’t answer him well, “But Your, Your Majesty, walking yourself?” She couldn’t help stuttering in surprise.
“Yes, we couldn’t just send Anriq Renka, could we?” He said quizzically, and Iveca quickly shut her mouth after he posed that question.
As she lowered her eyes, he gently held her waist and pulled her towards him, kissing her tenderly when her face was near enough. His tongue, which at first roamed across her lips, wrapped around hers like a snake, and then began to move more roughly as it slipped in and out of her soft, full lips; it was a passionate kiss that left her breathless. Each time his hand swept across her earlobes, jawline, and collar bone, his kiss became more intense and she panted as she gasped for air.
Parting his lips slightly, he whispered, “I am a patient person.” Although his voice was quiet, he sounded confident, and his eyes, which she’d barely looked at until now, were shining brightly with desire. She momentarily grabbed the hem of his robe, wanting to be comforted because she felt afraid, but she couldn’t put a finger on it as to what she was afraid of.

She was unable to say a word, as his volatile mood swings made her feel nervous. For him to say, “I love you”, was unbelievable, as were the other sweet words that he used to say. It was downright scary.
“Sincerely?” she asked after a long silence.
He stuck his tongue out again as if he didn’t want to hear any of her answers, as if she were being punished. And then, he kissed her as passionately as a couple who were having an intense love affair would; it was a very long kiss indeed.
He whispered in between breaths that he loved her more than she could ever imagine, “I love you, I love you, I love you,” he repeated. Now she knew that even though it was just a kiss, it could be an overwhelming feeling.
