"I'm home," Raphael smiled when he went back and found his wife was still reading by the window. He was happy to see her keep herself occupied.
Rowena was an outgoing person and enjoyed doing things outside when she was still in her realm. However, ever since she was brought to Cretea and faced hostility from the residents, she didn't go out much.
This made Raphael feel bad. He wanted to take her out and go on adventures as they did in the past. However, the king was clear with his conditions.
Raphael was not allowed to take Rowena outside of Cretea before the one-month time passed. It had been two weeks and things didn't seem to get better between them.
Rowena tolerated his appearance, but Raphael could tell she was struggling so hard to keep a flat face when she saw him. Sometimes, he actually saw her flinch at their servants which made him wonder if she also saw everyone around them as monsters.
