The east wing of the palace had the best view for many reasons.
One, all the windows of the royal suite offered anybody a view of the calm and peaceful forest of the Aesop region. Considered by the Linphean's Community of Naturologists as one of the most beautiful and magically diverse forest in the entire magical universe, the Hera forest was a gift of nature to human life.
It was one of the main reasons Heraklion's Royal Palace had been built there. Being part of the Nine Kingdoms Union meant being in possession of the most important artifacts of the world. Heraclion did not rely on magic as Solaria or Oppositus did. It relied on the power of its land.
The Hera forest was unique for its portal. In the very middle of the densest part of the forest, one could find the Arc. A gigantic portal made of adamant and amber, supported by a body of branches and water. In this part of the forest, water ran upward, making it difficult to navigate through it. This was why the forest was still wild and untamed. If one was lucky enough, one could cross paths with the guardians of the forest... A pack of green wolves. None were alone. All were nature's soldiers. They kept away humans from entering the Hera forest. These wolves were unique as their body was made out of bay leaves and chrysanthemum. Their eyes shone red during the darkest nights.
The second reason why the east wing was the best wing of the palace was its location. It was far away from the main entrance, the domestics' wing, and the ball hall. It almost felt as if they were not part of the Palace. It made the young couple happier. They felt better far away from the daily commotions of the Palace, tugged away in their suite where only a handful of domestics were allowed. No advisor running around. No noble sucking up to the King. Nothing of what Sky's parents had raised him into. Marrying Bloom, he had promised himself he would keep her away from the negativity of the Palace. At least, as best as he could...
The Solarian doors were wide open, letting the warm wind of autumn enter the living area of their suite.
On the small countertop of the "kitchen" they had, Sky was stirring two hot cups of tea. Really, Sky liked to call it a kitchen, but it was only a small assemblage of two top cabinets and a wooden counter. The two cabinets were filled with tea boxes and coffee bags. A few bottles of drinks and a selection of sweets and snacks in crystal jars.
It wasn't much, but it certainly give them a feeling of independence from the kitchens.
Making sure the water wasn't too hot in one of the two cups, Sky brought them back to the bedroom. Slowly kicking the door closed once inside, he slowly made his way to the bed, making sure not to spill any tea on the rugs.
Setting them down on the nightstand, he slowly sat down on the bed, watching the sleeping fairy inside the cover. The night had been hot, and so the Solarian doors were ajar, letting the sun inside the room.
He focused on the sleeping form and the sounds of the forest for a few seconds, glancing down at the fairy's body.
There, under the thin cover, he could see her bump, sticking out perfectly. A smile came across her face, while a feeling of utter happiness took over him. Today, she was starting her third trimester, and they couldn't be happier.
Bending down, he tenderly kissed her temple while rubbing her belly. He let out a gentle laugh when he heard Bloom grumbling. She was never a morning person, let alone when baby kept kicking her ribs at night.
"Wake up sweetness." He said, knowing it would only make her groan. And it did. She hated when he called her that. He rubbed her belly once more, feeling the baby moving a bit. "I made you your favorite tea, orange, and green leaf." Another groan, but this time, she opened her eyes, glared at him, and shoved him away from her.
"I genuinely hate you right now"
He laughed loudly, letting his head fall back a bit, his blond hair following his head in a smooth movement. He said nothing back. Or at least, anybody would have thought so.
But his eyes, those blue eyes said a lot.
Helping her sit up, he glanced at the clock. He would have to get ready soon. Winter festivities would start soon and he needed to deal with a lot before that. Bloom could not help around. Not until the baby was here. She had been "sentenced" - as she liked to say- to rest for the last few weeks she had until baby joined them. Until then, his mother was happily helping around.
"Here," he said, holding up her cup of tea. He pretended not to see her glaring at him -she hated tea with a passion, she was team coffee but was strictly forbidden to drink any during her pregnancy- and took his cup of tea, looking at something on the wall.
Sitting there, next to her, only disturbed by the birds chirping was like heaven.
Yes. Finally, they had reached peace after years and years of wars and battles.
And soon enough, a new chapter would begin.
