Chapter 722 Get Him Back
Still on her horse, Bella flexed her shoulders and straightened her back every once in a while to try and keep herself comfortable. The riding outfit she was wearing was very unpleasant. Particularly, the chest part almost felt like it wasn\'t letting her breasts breathe at all!
Frowning, she mused, \'That Lady Samari has small boobs.\'
It was a sensible conclusion. After all, the outfit she was wearing belonged to Lady Samari herself. From what she recalled, it was the Queen Mother that got the outfit for her, and it was only a hood thing that the thing was stretchable enough that she managed to fit herself into it. Still, it was far from being a good fit for her since she had been quite blessed with big round breasts.
"Are you alright?" King Amon asked. He probably noticed her discomfort.
"I need to get myself a proper wardrobe that will fit me," she informed him. "Can I have a stopover in the market?"
"I can accompany her," Rendon quickly volunteered. "We\'ll catch up to the entourage after."
Bella gave out a timid smile at the commander and hummed, "Thank you for your kindness, milord."
"There\'s no need for that," King Amon suddenly interrupted.
Bella\'s face twitched. Couldn\'t he see how uncomfortable she was with her current wardrobe? Was he seriously trying to stop her from-
"Lucia will escort her instead," King Amon continued.
Bella pressed her lips together. From what she had observed, Commander Lucia seemed to be the type who wouldn\'t waste time talking to her, unlike Rendon who she believed was easier to have a conversation with. She would most likely get more information from the man as opposed to this new commander.
"Well understood, Your Majesty," Rendon politely replied. He then looked at her and gave her a curt nod, to which Bella answered with a kind smile.
"The market is near," Lucia informed her as the commander approached. "Come now. Let\'s ride ahead, Lady Bella."
Before Bella could even nod in reply, she could only watch as the woman led her horse ahead of her. Averse to being left behind, she quickly followed without looking back.
[Turn around and see his expression at least!] Poona coached her, so Bella did as such. Almost immediately, she felt her heart almost jump upon seeing King Amon staring at her with a dim expression.
[He looks angry,] Poona hummed.
[He\'s probably jealous!] Bella assumed with a chuckle.
[Ughhh!] Poona snorted. [Your confidence…]
[What?! You do know that I\'m blessed with high emotional intelligence, Poona,] Bella scoffed with a frown. [Didn\'t you realize how he\'s reacting to my interactions with Rendon? Without even thinking, he assigned Lucia to me instead. I just hope we get something from her though…]
Riding along, it didn\'t take long for them to reach the market.
"Please hurry up, Lady Bella," Lucia hummed as she grabbed the reins of her horse and handed their rides over to a stable boy. "Just choose anything that\'s comfortable to you inside this boutique."
At that, Bella quickly went inside wit Lucia following behind her. The store owner quickly approached her to assist her, and she didn\'t waste any time and quickly took clothes that would both fit her and worked to accentuate her looks.
"Can you pay for it?" Bella directly asked Lucia as she handed her the clothes she chose. "I\'ll just pay you back as soon as we arrive at the Global Summit."
"That\'s fine. Just get whatever you want…" Lucia stoically replied. "I will pay for it."
"Thank you, Lady Lucia," Bella hummed with a smile.
From there, she quickly changed into a more comfortable riding outfit, and she was just about done when she saw some beautiful shawls in the store. Her curiosity piqued, and Bella grabbed a few pieces of them before promptly purchasing them regardless.
Dutifully, Lucia paid for everything, and Bella actually felt bad enough that she quickly grabbed one of the shawls and handed it to the woman.
"Here, I think it will look good on you. Please accept this…" she said with a timid smile. "I\'ll pay you what I owe you later. I apologize if what I grabbed cost a bit too much."
"It\'s fine. It\'s His Majesty\'s money, so you don\'t need to pay me, Lady Bella," Lucia replied with a smile. "Also, thank you for this."
"Oh, that\'s so nice of him…." Bella hummed as they walked outside the store. After a while, she turned to Lucia and asked, "Do you know how His Majesty, King Amon, became King? I mean, I\'m not familiar with what really happened at Helion, but what I do hear is that a new ruler was crowned as soon as the Dragon King killed Devon."
"Oh, that… King Amon was the long-lost son of the Queen Mother and the true heir to the throne in our Kingdom," Lucia nonchalantly explained. "I\'m in no position to disclose more aside from that, Lady Bella, so if you have further inquiries, then please ask His Majesty directly. Or maybe you can also ask the Queen Mother about it…"
As Lucia quickly got back on her horse, Bella felt the hard thumping in her chest as she stood still with excitement. That little information alone was enough for her. Long lost son… He really was Osman! There was more to it. Of that, she was sure.
[But it still doesn\'t make sense! I mean, how come King Amon and Osman have different scents?!] Poona complained with a growl. [King Amon is our mate, and Osman is not! I really feel so confused right now!]
[The only way for you to not get confused is to not think about how everything doesn\'t make sense, Poona!] Bella insisted. [I\'m sure there\'s a valid explanation to it all, and we\'ll uncover it all eventually, so be patient. Still, one thing I assure you is that this King Amon is our Osman, period! With or without his memories of us, I will make sure to get him back!]
