Chapter 94 - Embarrassment And Stuttering

"I know, Sinclair, you don't like it. But you can't deny the fact that you are the emperor of Spirit realm, even if your upbringing was done along with us, by my mother who was just a servant."

Sinclair never treated both brother and sister inferior to himself, he was brought up by the minister's wife and grew up in human realm after the tragic end of the former emperor and empress.

He played alongside Elmore and respected Madeleine as if she was his own elder sister, but both brother and sister knew their position and still preferred to address Sinclair with the rightful title. 

"Leave these things aside, when did you come back? And where is Syna?"

She knew that topic was a total turn off for Sinclair and he had argued a thousand times with both of them. So, she tried to change the talk to elevate his mood. 

"Oh! Yes, I came here to ask you something. We arrived a few minutes ago, actually I carried Syna to my room through teleportation and she is resting there."

Sinclair heaved a sigh as he totally got off track forgetting the thing for what he initially teleported into the kitchen and ended up scaring poor Madeleine. 

"Resting? What happened to her, is everything fine? What did you do to her Sinclair?"

Madeleine who was stirring into the pot placed on the high fire flame previously, ebbed at once to face Sinclair who was rooted behind her, the induction stove was in the opposite direction of the table nook where Sinclair was standing with his legs crossed at calves. 

The soup gave off a sweet fragrance of fresh spices, Madeleine dropped the spoon into the stew and faced Sinclair as soon as his words fell into her ears, her both hands rested above the hips as the lady inquired strictly. Now she was behaving righteously totally opposite to the submissive servant she sometimes attempt to be, her fierce voice formed a smile on Sinclair's face.

Her face immediately wore a worrying expression which was not fake, she had remained Syna' personal maid servant in previous life and was reborn in Sinclair's household. She had served her by heart and this time their fates were entwined to meet again, that she was brought to Syna' side by lord Sinclair. He knew about her affection towards Syna, moreover Madeleine was a sister to him too.

"Hey! Don't give me that glare with such a scowl, I did not do anything to her. In fact I haven't attempted anything yet."

Sinclair dramatically pouted resembling a child who was strictly confined by his mother in house and ordered to refrain from doing anything mischievous. The powerful lord pretended to look miserable of not being able to have his way with Syna, even in the period of three months he remained unsuccessful. 

Madeleine leaped forward and smacked on his shoulder flabbergasted. 

"You! How shameless you have become after her arrival. Don't you dare to do something stupid, I know you previously lied to her about 'having your way with her' that night."

Madeleine raised her left eyebrow and reminded him of the night she unknowingly busted his plan to tease Syna. 

"Yeah I remember you ruined everything, but Syna is fine. Actually she is having a tummy pain and I need that along with a heating pad."

Sinclair gave her an eerie look as he spit the first part but then scratched his right cheek with the nail of index finger, as he averted his gaze away from Madeleine' stare while uttering the latter words. 

It was embarrassing for him to ask for such things from his sister bluntly, without any shame. Well, of course he blurted out something more a few moments ago but now he was hesitating.

"Tummy pain? Why she is having a tummy pain all of a sudden? What did she eat today?"

Madeleine ears only heard the first part and omitted the useful last words, as she questioned Sinclair scornfully. 

She treated Syna like a younger sister in her past life and as the lady had memories of previous lead life, she still had the same feelings towards her queen. That sister bond made her anxious at once although Madeleine knew that to Syna she was someone whom the bride met a month ago.

"She is fine, actually it's her p-phase and I need those things."

Sinclair didn't face Madeleine even in the moment when she questioned him loudly. He covered his mouth with right hand, as overwhelming embarrassing emotions made his cheeks and ears flushed red.

"What phase!?"

Madeleine exclaimed in anger at first but it took a moment for her to realise what Sinclair was blabbering about in hidden words and bits. 

"Oh! That!"

Sinclair's burning red ears and flushed face narrated her the whole unexplained story and she smiled inwardly upon the embarrassed condition of her emperor. The mighty lord suffered so much from two ladies in a single day, one was his bride and the other was his sister in name.

No one would have imagined Sinclair blushing and showing such affection towards a lady, but of course he could do anything for his bride even if that requires to shake up all the kingdoms, if that satisfies his beloved wife and makes her happy.

"I didn't expect the ruthless Lord to be that caring towards his wife."

Madeleine initiated a teasing speech, it was an 'oasis in the desert' like situation, for Sinclair to stuck and hesitate at a point and she didn't want to miss such a chance to use her right as an elder sister.

"Aye! Stop it Madeleine."

Sinclair spat annoyingly while completely flushed, he didn't know how to react to that situation as that was also a new thing for him to help his wife in those days.

"Haha, okay, okay. Wait here I will get you the items."

Madeleine could not suppress her laughter after witnessing Sinclair red face, it was all written on his face and she knew her brother's  weaknesses very well.

Madeleine vanished into the thin air like smoke, similarly as Sinclair had appeared and after a few seconds later she approached him with a small brown paper packet that had all the necessary items in it.

"Here take it and rush to Syna. I will bring her hot water bag and some soup."

"Okay. Thank you."

Madeleine handed over the things to him and Sinclair disappeared from her sight.
