8 Chapter 8

At home, Axel and Charlotte were greeted by their maids and servants. Well-served charlotte wants to take a bath soon because dinner is here. Meanwhile, Axel is used to doing everything alone. He only needs to prepare water and clothes to wear.

Charlotte and Axel's relationship became the talk of the waiter who prepared the needs of the two. Gossiping was a form of entertainment for them, moreover, palace life was a lot of falsehoods. They even wondered about Axel's love relationship which was never heard of at all.

"Nobody knows about the prince's love story. If indeed he likes ordinary citizens, it will be very shocking right? " said one of the servants.

Anna who was involved in the conversation also asked the same thing. She returned to guess about who the lucky woman, who got the prince's heart. Her thoughts were on Remanu's sister.

"Could it be Remanu's sister? Since Remanu's death, the prince is no longer passionate, does that woman blame the prince for his brother's death? " said Anna.

"Remanu has a sister? I don't know that, "said the waiter.

"There, she lives in a town next to the city of Letveria," replied Anna.

Suddenly Axel passed them who were talking while preparing Axel and Charlotte's equipment. The maids and servants immediately silenced their mouths, afraid that the prince might hear what was being said.

Anna, who just remembered Remanu's sister, felt she had to tell Charlotte. She felt this information was very useful for the princess so that she could easily organize a strategy to win the prince's heart.

According to Anna, Remanu's sister was nothing compared to Charlotte.

As always done by the royal family before Axel got married until he was married is to eat together with the family. Charlotte is very happy with this habit, with that, her intimacy is getting stronger with her in-laws. She can also talk about many things at the dinner table, and show her husband not to always ignore her because she is very much loved by her husband's parents.

"Charlotte, you are still beautiful at night," said the queen.

"Thank you, mom. mother too, "replied Charlotte.

"How do you feel living with us here? Is there anything unpleasant for you? " asked the queen?

With a sweet smile, a soft and soft tone, Charlotte replied, "Absolutely nothing, Mom. I love living in Nirvana, what's more, mom and dad accepted me very well. "

Charlotte's tone seemed very contrived. Axel was very uncomfortable seeing his wife's behavior. He wanted to quickly finish eating and leave his parents and wife. However, that couldn't possibly happen, because if he was to go, Charlotte would have to come with him too.

Axel survived by only focusing on eating, and looking at the food in front of him. He didn't want to get into any conversation with Charlotte or his parents. However, while Axel tries not to get involved in any discussion, his father, the King of Nirvana, discusses the transfer of the throne.

"Are you still in a bad mood?" asked the king.

"What do you mean?" replied Axel without looking at his father.

"I'm getting old, and don't know when I can survive to live. My throne will fall on you, but if your attitude is unstable like this, how will you lead the kingdom? " said the king.

Axel sighed, he felt that there was no need to discuss it at the dining table. His father's words also seemed like a threat and made him obey his father's wishes. Axel also chose not to continue the conversation with his father, and this time he chose to leave the dining table.

Charlotte and axel's mother looked at each other, they only saw the prince walking by with a flat face. They can't do much with the circumstances that are going on.

Charlotte finally said goodbye to her in-laws to pursue Axel, she tried to be a good wife and daughter-in-law again by mediating between her father-in-law and her husband.

Charlotte opened the door to her room and Axel, saw Axel had changed his nightgown. She went in and tried to talk to her husband, even though the irritating face still emanated from her husband.

"Are you angry with dad?" asked Charlotte.

"Angry? Why? It was just a conversation, I must have ascended the throne at the right time. You will also become the queen, take it easy, enjoy the process, "replied Axel casually.

Charlotte took a deep breath, she got ready to sleep too by changing her clothes and opening her hairdo. She did not know what else to say to Axel, because she also did not think that Axel wanted to become queen as soon as possible.

As Charlotte prepared to change her clothes, Axel glanced at his wife. He realized that he had not paid attention to Charlotte since they were married, Axel only glanced at hers. But he knew, even though paying attention to Charlotte would not make his heart interested and excited, his heart still had someone who could not be forgotten.

Charlotte realized that when Axel was glancing at her, she tried not to be seen if she noticed that glance. Suddenly, Charlotte turned around when Axel was still glancing at her. Axel immediately looked away because he didn't want to be caught glancing at his wife, even though that is a common thing in the household.

"I once liked someone from an ordinary citizen, he was a soldier in the Kingdom of Florin. Have you ever felt the same way? " asked Charlotte?

"Why do you ask?" replied Axel.

"Just curious. Surely you've felt the same way, right? I just want to know. Maybe we can talk as friends, not as a couple. "

"I prefer not to talk about it. The past doesn't need to be talked about anymore, "Axel replied.

Charlotte started to approach Axel who was lying on her bed. This is the perfect time to try to carry out his intention. Who knows, Axel will change his mind when he sees Charlotte up close who is wearing slightly translucent clothes.

Axel knew that Charlotte was trying to tease him, but he didn't say anything, monitoring what his wife was going to do.

The closer to Axel, Charlotte is more excited because Axel looks so charming up close. Charlotte sat next to Axel, and tried to touch her husband, she hoped the touch would get a reply from him.

Charlotte tried to bring her body closer, even bringing her face closer to Axel's face. In retrospect, they kissed only once, during their marriage ceremony.

"Don't you want to taste it? I want to feel it with you, "whispered Charlotte.

Axel, who was silent, let Charlotte do what she wanted. But actually, there is no vibration at all in his day. At that instant, he returned to imagine the person he had been thinking about to this day. Even so, Charlotte managed to land her kiss on her husband's beautiful lips.

This time Axel didn't hide the locket, he was still holding the locket as he walked out of the lake. Charlotte went back to discussing the locket with what she had remembered last night.

"Isn't the pendant a sign of a couple's love? My mother has one, "

"Love is not just with lovers, is it?" Axel answered in a flat tone. Once again, his attitude showed that he didn't want to discuss anything about the past or anything related to his past.

Charlotte, who received the answer, was finally silent, she realized that she still could not break through her husband's defense to tell her about the woman who was currently on her throne. But, she was sure, whatever it was about to discover sooner or later, Charlotte just needed to put in a little more effort.
