Chapter 309: You’ve gained a lot of weight

Inside the king’s luxurious chamber, Hamon hovered behind the physician who was checking on Ara, "How’s my wife?" He asked the royal physician with worried filled voice.

The royal physician cleared his throat, he then turned towards Hamon with a small bow of his head, he said,"Your Majesty, it’s nothing serious as always, she has no injuries not any problems which I could treat for now." He reported politely, however internally, he couldn’t help but sigh in frustration. He was an old man who needed all the rest he could get, but then the king would never allow him rest in peace, as almost everyday there was always a new excuse to bring him here to check on his pregnant wife who seemed absolutely alright.

Ara, who had been quietly staring at her worried husband with the physician, quickly sat up, "Hamon I told you I’m all right, and perfectly fit to do some exercises. you can’t stop me from going to the training hall, I can still handle myself perfectly, I am gaining too much weight in less than days, I need to lose the weight before the banquet, I need to fit into my dress." She chided with a huff, then crossed her arms against her chest and looked up at him.

Earlier in the mid afternoon, the royal seamstress had come to take measurements for Ara’s dress for the banquet as well as Emma on the king’s orders, to start preparing for the baby banquet. However, after the measurements, Ara realized how much weight she’d gained, even her normal everyday dresses were starting to fell too tight on her. And it was making her feel self-conscious even though she knew it was due to her pregnancy.

Nevertheless, she couldn’t even control her large appetite these days, it seemed as if there was a bottomless pit in her stomach that never seemed to get full despite how much she eats, her babies were consuming more than any normal babies would, which was the reason she couldn’t stay too long without eating, and also gaining weight as a result.

Furthermore, to make things worst, she had tried to ask Hamon about her weight gain after the measurements.

’Hamon... Do you think I’m becoming fat?’ she had curiously asked to hear his opinion while she stared at her reflection in the huge mirror hanging on the wall, as she ran her hand on her bump, which was becoming bigger.

Hamon had walked towards her beside the mirror, he gazed at her reflection for awhile with his index finger tapping his chin playfully as if to think. Although, his wife had put on some weight, however it wasn’t that much to him, and she still had that alluring beauty to her. Even the weight gain made her look cuter, her heart shaped face had somehow turned adorably round, like that of a cute toddler, with her small rosy plump lips.

However, Hamon decided to tease her a little bit, but who would have thought Ara would take such harmless teasing to heart and went to the training hall to train to lose weight? All he had said was a simple, ’Yes, you’ve really gained so much weight, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to carry you around anymore...’ he hadn’t even gotten the chance to tell her that he was only teasing her, before she got mad and threw him out of their chamber, while saying,

’You will never be allowed inside this room! Go and get another room and marry a slimmer woman who won’t gain weight when she gets pregnant!’

’My wife, I was only joking!’ his wife completely ignored him. He winced as the door slammed shut on his face instead. Hamon had chuckled and shook his head in disbelief, since it wasn’t the first time. He understood her mood swings better than anyone, thus he didn’t linger around the door and went back to his study to get some work done. But later got the news that his wife was in his private training hall.

Hamon had quickly rushed there to find his pregnant wife running around the hall with her sword as she skillfully swung it in the air. Before he could speak, Ara somehow missed her footing, and in a speed of the light, Hamon had reached her and caught her body before she could meet the fall.

Which was why the royal physician was here to check on her, again, even though she had told her husband not to worry, because she wasn’t in any pain, but despite that he had gone to bring the old physician himself. However, even though the physician had said there was nothing to worry about, Hamon wasn’t convinced yet, he asked the old man again,

"Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with my wife?"

The physician sighed yet again, "She’s absolutely fine, your majesty, however I wouldn’t advice she goes to the training hall again. An accident could happen, that would be a great risk to her life and also the babies." He advised after hearing how Ara was insisting on going back to train.

Hamon gave his wife a pointed look when he noticed she wanted to speak back to the physician, and she quickly pressed her lips shut while she glared at him.

Hamon then said to the royal physician, "You may leave." The old man didn’t waste anymore second and bowed to the couple before hurrying out of the room. Thank heavens he would finally get to rest. The old man mused.

"Ara, you shouldn’t be careless anymore with your condition, what if I wasn’t there and you fell and hit your stomach?" He scolded, he didn’t even want to imagine what would have happened if he hadn’t gone there on time to catch her from hitting the ground.

Ara pursed her lips, "Nothing would have happened, I’m good at balancing myself. And I can move perfectly fine with my sword..."

"It’s different now, my wife. You’re pregnant, you have to be careful and not carelessly do the things you used to do before. I forbid you from going to the training hall in your condition." Hamon said firmly. But Ara scoffed, "Yeah right, says the person who called me fat..."

Hamon sighed deeply, she really took his teasing to heart. He thought as he approached his wife who was still glaring at him with her adorable alluring green eyes, he slowly sat down beside her on the edge of the bed, "My wife, are you still mad at me for saying that?" He asked softly, as he hadn’t gotten to speak to her properly after she threw him out of their chamber.

Ara huffed and looked away from him like a kid angry at her parents for taking away her toys. Hamon couldn’t help but smile at her behavior, her pregnancy seemed to change her character a lot, but he quite liked her childish behavior as well. He mused. However, she was still mad at him for teasing her in the afternoon.

"My wife, I was only teasing you earlier, you’re still my adorable Arabella, and I love you no matter how you look. Now can you please forgive your husband for his slip of tongue?" Hamon raised his hands and held his ears to ask for forgiveness from his angry wife.

Ara shot him a glance over, then murmured, "I will only forgive you if you buy me more of those pastries from my favorite pastry store, Heavenly pastries, and also some roasted meat with..."

Hamon couldn’t help but smile as he listened to all the food his wife was listing. Of course, with his wife’s current condition, only food could make her happier. He nodded when she finished making her list, "Alright, I will buy them all for you again."

Ara beamed, "Really?" She couldn’t help but salivate at the thought of eating the delicious roasted meet again.

Hamon nodded with a faint smile, and Ara flung herself into his embrace, "Thank you, I love you soo much hubby!" She exclaimed excitedly. "I love you even more, my wife..." He muttered softly as he wrapped his arms around his wife. But as if something came to her mind, Ara quickly pushed back from the hug and said,

"Oh before I forget, is it true that you put princess Eadlin under the Boxton’s care?" It was a question she had been meaning to ask for awhile now, she knew that the princess couldn’t stay in the palace anymore with the officials who were hell bent on punishing any remaining of the queen’s offsprings for killing the late king. But then she knew if Hamon wanted her to be in the palace, no official could protest against his words. So she wondered why he didn’t bother to bring her back after the battle.

Hamon smiled faintly, then said, "Although, Merona had committed grave and unforgivable sins, it has nothing to do with my sister, and me not bringing her back to the palace. She is still my sister after all, but i figured out that she wouldn’t want to stay here and would be much happier if she was away for awhile, so I asked your brother to take care of her until the day she decides to come back herself." He explained.

"But, I think you should let her know that you hold nothing against her, she must be hard on herself for all the things her mother had committed..." Ara had only known Eadlin for awhile, but she could tell the young lady was nothing like her mother. She had gone as far as to even risk her own life to save Henry from getting harmed in the tournament. She was a young lady with a pure and kind heart, unlike her mother and brother. And Ara would really like to see Hamon get together with his only sibling...

Hamon gave a nod of his head, "I will speak to her soon. Perhaps on the day of the banquet." He said as he gently stroked her cheek.

Although, Hamon had planned to go and bring Eadlin back after the battle was over, however he changed his mind after discovering the future that awaited him. He wouldn’t be there to protect her from the officials, and if there was someone he trusted the most to take care of his half sister...then it would be his brother-in-law, Henry.
