Thus, Ferdinand, as the Emperor, could not scold her in this mode either since none of what she did was wrong as the Empress.
But if he wanted for them to speak as husband and wife and scold her for what she did, of course he could too. And maybe, she deserved to be scolded.
But Arabella was not ready to hear it tonight.
Was she escaping by doing this?
Yes.
She was escaping and delaying it for when she was ready.
For now, she needed to run away from it.
"If there's nothing else, then, good night, Your Majesty. I'm ready to retire for the night," Arabella said, and turned her back.
She wished she knew how to deactivate the magic communication device. But she didn't, so she simply tucked herself into her beddings and turned her back from the device.
"Uhm, Arabella…" Ferdinand hesitated. Perhaps, noticing the change in her mood.
But he called her name, clarifying that she's speaking to her as her husband now.
"..."
Arabella felt guilty and wanted to turn around.
