Chapter 410 - Festival

Leon watched Alicia sleep all night. He didn't realize that he also had fallen asleep and Alicia had to get up, check on him and check on breakfast. When he woke up, Alicia was packing the papers and her guitar and ukulele. Her phone was also ringing like crazy. She answered it as she sighed. 

"Yes?" She continued packing. "Can I take another day off? I mean busy on something." She said softly. "It's quite important. Can I speak to the CEO?" She bit her lower lip. "Okay, how much time will it take? Two hours or three. I can't exceed that." She negotiated. "Okay. I will be there in three hours." 

She continued packing and then she checked her bag. 

"Can it be in three hours?" She asked as she looked frustrated. A soft knock on the door makes her turn around. "I have to go. I will call you later." She hung up and then the door opened as male nurses entered. 

"We need to get ready for an MRI and CT-Scan." The Nurse told them. 

"Okay," She nodded her head and approached Leon. "You okay, love?" She asked him. 

"Yes, I'm fine. I think the nurses will take care of everything. If you are busy, you can go." 

"No. I~~I have to be with you. Maybe until the tests are done." She said softly. 

It takes a few minutes to take his MRI and CT-Scan. The doctor explained to Alicia about the hemorrhage and it will take months. He might not remember everything but then, there are chances if it was triggered. There will be a massive headache and other symptoms. After an hour and a half, Alicia set him up on the bed and placed the remote controls on him. 

"I also got your phone." Alicia lifted his touchscreen phone and placed it next to him. "It's charged and call me if you need something. I will be away for like five hours." 

"It's fine. Take your time." Leon said. 

Alicia gawked at him for a moment and nodded her head. 

"Don't worry. The nurses will help and I think I will be here." 

Alicia's stomach twisted into knots as she turned back and picked her bag. 

"I will be back." She said as she awkwardly walked past the bed without kissing him. 

Leon relaxes and turns on the television.

Alicia glanced at him. She somehow felt insignificant around Leon. She pressed her lips as she left the room. She put her sunglasses on as a tear rolled down her cheeks. She happened to meet Violet on the elevator. She has food with her. 

"Hey, are you leaving?" Violet asked her. Alicia smiled and nodded her head. "I will just drop this off and will drive you since I have to see my son." 

"No. It's totally fine." 

"Wait for me." Violet rushed to the room and came back shortly. 

Alicia wiped her tears quickly and Violet came back. 

Violet drove her back to the city and dropped her off. 

"I will send someone to drive you back." She told her. 

"No. I am completely fine." Alicia told her. 

"Seriously, Ali. Can you stop being stubborn?" Violet asked. "I will be very, very busy and I will stay with my son. You also will get too busy, taking care of that ass and doing your job. So, Harvey set up a room for you and Leon back in the mansion. You will have bodyguards and a driver." 

Alicia sighed and nodded her head. 

"Your bodyguards are here." Violet pointed to the sedan and bodyguards waiting in front.

It was a fun thing to walk even though Tracey was pregnant. She enjoyed the food a lot and people are treating the Duke well. She was also known as Duchess. She never thought of being a royal. It was all because of her handsome husband. 

"Let's prepare for the festival." Ace said as he wrapped his arms around Guinevere. 

They were on their way to their cars when a woman called out Ian's name. They all looked at the woman, wearing a floral dress and high heels. She ran toward them and Ian held his wife. She ran into them and almost pushed Tracey but Ace quickly grabbed the woman's arm before she could hurt anyone. Then, she pushed the woman off. The bodyguards quickly covered them. 

"What the hell? You nearly hurt my wife!" Ian glared at her. The woman sighed and tossed her hair. 

"Your wife?" She raised her brows and looked at Tracey from head to toe. "Oh, geez. Stop being funny." 

"At least I am not like you," Tracey said. "Let's go before I bald this bitch." 

"Don't you have a reputation to hold? And this cunt pushes me." Danica pointed to Ace. 

"So, what? You nearly hurt my girlfriend and the Duchess. Have some shame, you~~you bi-atch." Ace said. "Babe, did she just call me, cunt?" He looked at her girlfriend. 

"She does. Let's leave." She told them. 

"I think I need a foot massage," Tracey said as Ian helped her in their limousine. 

"I will give it to you later." Ian grinned at her. 

Danice frowned, watching them leave as the police approached her. They pulled her out and she screamed at them. 

"Well, what a temper?" Ace said and he shoved his face to Guinevere's breasts. He smelled it and sighed. "I am tired but not that tired for later." He whispered. 

"After the festival, you can nap." She pushed him and made him lean over her shoulder. She patted his head and checked her tablet. 

"My feet are aching," Tracey complained. 

"I suggest you wear fluffy sandals later," Guinevere said. 

"Oh, I love fluffy sandals," Tracey said. "I think I don't have that with me." She looked at her husband. "Can you provide one? A fluffy sandal that will be perfect for my dress later." 

"Of course," He pulled out his phone and called his Butler. Then, it was settled. 

"It is quite nice to be a Duchess." She grinned at her husband. 

"Yeah," He raised his brows and patted her head. 

When they get back to the castle, Ian makes sure that his wife is relaxing on the bed. He prepared her long dress and his butler arrived with a few designs of fluffy flat sandals. 

"Thank you." He placed it over the shelves of Tracey's shoe rack. "Huh, fancy." He said and glanced at his wife who was already sleeping. "Three more hours." He said as he removed his clothes and crawled over the bed and snuggled with her. He's also tired from walking all day. "Babe, I love you." He mumbled and kissed her lips.

"Hmm," She moaned and opened her eyes. "Your thing is important." 

"My thing?" He grinned and looked at his crotch. 

"Your speech, dumb ass." She lifted her arm and tapped his chest. "Can I get a foot massage love?" 

"Sure," 

"But, you have to take a quick bath first." He slipped off from bed. "I will prepare your bath." He grinned at her. 

It takes two hours for them to get ready. Just a good time before the opening of the festival. They soon reached Highland Square where a lot of people and stalls had gathered. Each of the stalls is free for everyone. The people make this to give a salute to all of the soldiers who sacrifice to protect them. 

Tracey's feet were still aching but she had to stand while her husband was making his speech. She doesn't want to sit down since everyone is standing for his speech. She sighed and struggled a little. Then, Ace bent down and whispered to her. 

"You know, they will understand your condition. You can sit down." Ace told her. 

"Nope. I just read the handbook." She murmured. 

"Oh," Ace looked at his girlfriend. 

Somehow, Ian didn't make his speech that long. It was full of sincerity with a little humor. Then, he bowed as he walked toward Tracey and carefully pulled her to the seat. Then, Henry makes a speech as well. It was short and he only wished them to enjoy the festival. Then, everyone clapped their hands. 

"So, you like your slippers?" Ian asked his wife as he gently pulled her to the comfortable seat. "You are tired." He told her. 

"I better get another massage." 

"Of course," He chuckled and took a blanket from his butler and wrapped it around her. 

Tracey noticed the lady who had her eyes on her husband. She reached his hand as he smiled and intertwined his hand with her. 

"Any specific food you want to eat?" He whispered in her ear. 

"Let's wait on whatever baby wants to eat." She whispered back. 

"The two of you are so adorable." Ace said. They all stood and followed the Queen and King. He kept his arms around his beautiful wife as he led her to the car. 

"I smelled delicious food somewhere here." She said and looked around. 

"We have each of the food back in the castle." He told her. 

"Really?" She grinned. 

"Ops, your crazy suitor is coming this way." Ace said as Tracey frowned. 

"Ignore them," Guinevere said as she patted Ace's chest. 

"How crazy is she? I mean, she's pretty, and she shouldn't get obsessed with someone ugly." 

"Hey, I am not ugly." 

Karmina and Henry snickered. 

"Don't worry, dear. She can't come closer to you or him.." Karmina winked at Tracey.
