Wife of The Demon Prince
Chapter 88: Don’t get hurt

Chapter 88: Don’t get hurt

Back at the crown Prince’s chamber. The two were arguing on the matter of Ara following him to find Merek.

"Just like I said earlier, you are not going anywhere with me, future wife." He said, "Now, go back to your room and sleep, while I go search for Merek."

"No, I am coming with you. I won_"

The sound of someone knocking on the door interrupted Ara. Ara and Hamon glanced towards the door at the same time. Hamon was about to call out, but she quickly gestured for him to keep quiet.

His brows furrowed at her gesture, but immediately understood as she made her way to hide beside his bed. Ara didn’t want another rumor to spread that she’d come to spend the night with Hamon in his chamber.

Hamon glanced at the bedside where she was hiding herself, then turned back towards the door and called out, "Come in."

The door immediately pushed opened, then Oliver hurriedly entered the room. He bowed, "I apologize for coming here at this hour, Your Highness. Something urgent_" he stopped talking as he noticed a small figure crouched down beside the bed, but before he could register who it was, Hamon had cut his line of sight with his broad shoulders,

"Get to the point. What brings you here?"

Oliver quickly looked away and continued, "T-the queen sent men to your residence, they entered without permission. It was Cale who was leading the soldiers, and they said they were after a fugitive...And I think it is Merek they’re looking for."

"It seems Merek had escaped from the queen’s residence. Where are the soldiers she sent now?" He asked.

Oliver replied, "We’ve expelled them from inside the building, but Cale refused to take them out of the compound and kept searching the outside area."

Hamon’s eyes darkened as he said, "That insolent fool! I think it’s high time I finish him up." His eyes were like burning flames. He then continued, "I want you to send a message to the spies in the queen’s residence to keep an eye on the area in case they saw Merek. And gather all the soldiers and organize them, I’ll be there soon."

"Yes, Your Highness." Oliver bowed and left the room.

Ara finally came out of her hiding as Oliver left, "Do you still plan to leave me out of the matter now?" She questioned with a raised brows.

"I’d like to if possible...I don’t want you to be part of all this." He stated with a small frown.

"If you won’t give me an armor to wear as a disguise...I’ll find one myself without your help, and do as I please."

Hamon hesitated for awhile before he replied reluctantly, "Fine, I’ll give you an armor to wear. But only on my condition."

"...?"

"You won’t leave my side even for a moment." He tried to make the deal with her, but Ara retorted, "You can’t tell me what to do. If something comes up, I will surely leave your side, and if you try to stop me...Then I’ll do it my way as the old times."

Even in their previous life, Hamon had always opposed to her every time she raised a sword or go to battlefield with them. But this time she couldn’t afford to sit back and watch everything get destroyed. She would sneak after him just like she had always done before if he didn’t allow her to go to the battlefield.

Hamon sighed, "I know you are capable, and that’s what makes me worried every time." He admitted.

"...?"

He explained, "I am afraid you will end up taking a job that’s as dangerous as your skills."

"I am ready for any kind of danger." She assured.

"...I am sure you are, but I want you to always keep this in mind." He paused as his red eyes stared straight into Ara’s green ones, "Don’t get hurt, not even a little bit. if you ever find yourself in danger, don’t try to save anybody else until you save yourself first."

"But_" she was about to ask what was the purpose of following him then, but Hamon continued in a even softer voice,

"If anything happens to you even a little...I will destroy the entire kingdom. Mark my words." He assured, she was his life, if anything happened to her, he really didn’t know what his demon side might end up doing to people. If his demon side were to surface...not after killing every man standing will it go back to sleep. She had become a part of him.

Ara couldn’t do anything else but nod for now, if only to reassure him, "Alright, I’ll be careful. I won’t get hurt." She affirmed.

Hamon gave her a faint smile, "Good."

Ara continued, "But, I won’t hesitate to jump in if you’re in danger. Your safety is more important than anything to me, I will risk everything just for you."

Hamon’s eyes widened slightly, he turned his head away as he covered his mouth with one hand. Somehow Ara noticed his ears had turned crimson, he then said,

"Why do you always say sweet words so causally?"

"Huh?" Ara was surprised at his reaction to her remark. But when she thought about it, she had said she’d make him king because she wanted to be queen, but she had never openly mentioned that his life was important to her. Ara debated with herself whether she should explain herself more or not.

However, Hamon had no intention to continue the conversation, he pointed to the wall behind her, "Go in there, you will find the armor inside the room, choose anyone you like from all." He instructed.

Ara gave him a nod of her head and walked towards the direction he’d pointed at. She somehow felt hot in the face for what she’d said earlier. And was embarrassed because he was.

_with just those words, he turned red? What a sissy!_ She was unable to adjust to the sudden shift of atmosphere from serious to strange.

When she entered the room, she was met with rows of armors hanged. Perhaps because Hamon’s room was near the training site, his armors were ready for wear. As she walked around, she chose the smallest of them all and wore it, then placed the helmet on her head. She was grateful the helmet hid the blush on her face.
