Anxious Heart of duke

Seraphina was groaning at her husband, who was only increasing her worries, when she called for a suggestion.

"But I'll take a rest today. Therefore, I won't be sick."

"Is that something you can promise?"

"Really, I won't be sick. Promise."

Seraphina stuck her little finger out, looking as lovely as ever—especially to Raven. He then held his eyes sharp, trying to hold back his desires to listen to almost anything.

"Are you going to grant me any kind of wish?"

"I am."

"Really? Any wish?"
