The Queen’s Trouble

“Ah, Mion. You came?”
“Ya.”

Julia waved towards Endimion who was opening the door to enter their bedroom. His broad shoulders look stiff. His political affairs must have been difficult today.
Julia smiled hard at her handsome husband, then filled two glasses of wine.

“We’re having wine?”

“Uh-huh, I’ve wanted to drink alone with you. We are almost adults now, aren’t we?”

As she smiled lightly and extended a glass to him. Endimion, who took a seat while brushing his wet black hair up, accepted the wine.

“…True. The coming-of-age ceremony is in a few months.”

“We’ve been married for 12 years! Time sure flies.”

Julia spoke playfully and clinked their glasses. Endimion smiled faintly and toasted with her. Then, to his surprise, she emptied her glass at once while he was only taking a sip.

“Why are you drinking in such a hurry? Are you okay?”

“What if I have something to say?”

Endimion brushed her grape-scented lips with his thumb.

I’m glad I prepared a light alcohol wine. Julia thoughtlessly opened her purple eyes, placed her glass down, and let out a soft sigh.

Yes. In fact, there was a special reason she prepared wine to share with her husband in their bedroom tonight.

“Oh, yes. We are adults now, so we have a job to do.”

As she carefully spoke, Endimion’s blue eyes that watched her intently widened.

Julia slightly blushed and laughed out of embarrassment. Actually, She was a little nervous. She had never had this kind of conversation with her husband.

The two have been married for 12 years, but they got married when they were 7. They grew up together as same-aged childhood friends.

These 19-year-olds are like siblings, who went through childhood, puberty, and secondary sexual characteristics development together.

It was Endimion who first noticed Julia’s first monthly visitor. That was the case because as they slept in one bed every night they had no choice but to be more sensitive to each other’s changes.

A few years ago, when they were still a boy and girl who found sleeping together natural and comfortable. Endimion stayed up with Julia, who had a stomach ache all night. In the morning they found red flower petal-like stains on the pure, white bed.

After trying to cover Julia, who had frozen in embarrassment, he silently left the bedroom and immediately summoned her chief maid and exclusive maids.

The boy and the girl, who viewed each other as nothing more nor less a fellow peer, became an intimate couple since that day. Unlike their childhood, they believed in, respected, and cared for each other while maintaining modest manners.

For 12 years, they have been closer to each other than anyone else.

A few weeks after Julia’s first period, she even showed Endimion the same care he had given her when he had wet their sheets. She called on the head-servant and left, and later wrote that she would erase it from her memories forever, after giving a word of advice.

-Don’t drink anything before you go to bed. You’ll pee in bed again.

-It wasn’t!

-Pft. Lies! If it wasn’t, what was it?

-Tell me, what was it?

When asking while giggling, as though she was dealing with a younger brother, his face turned red and he couldn’t even make eye contact.

She found the mature boy’s embarrassment to be cute, so she kept prying until he got upset and spent a week in a separate bedroom. Except for that week, they have always been together for 12 years.

“Hey, should we go to bed first?”

So sleeping together in one room, sharing one bed, was as natural as breathing to them.

Julia grabbed Endimion’s visibly agitated hand to their hand-made bed and sat down. Endimion grasped the hem of his gown, and obediently followed her and sat down.

‘Why is he so nervous today? Oh, did he notice?’

Julia sighed lightly at the sight of her stiff husband, who couldn’t make eye contact with her even though this was the bed they shared every day.

It may be better off this way. Giving sex education to a man of her age, when she isn’t even a tutor, was a headache.

“Mion, listen to what I have to say.”

“I’m listening.”

Julia grabbed Endimion’s hands and spoke seriously, and he turned and answered as though he had prepared his heart for this moment. His lower lip he was tightly biting swelled a little, but his cool blue eyes shone with determination.
