Chapter 161: The Children And The Nymph Thieves (2)
Evening.We were gathered in a high room of the palace where the whole capital of the Marduk Empire could be seen.
Whoooosh—I assumed that a desert city would just be sweltering but whether it was the high level or the room being completely open, it was rather refreshing and had nice scenery.
A golden city viewed underneath the moonlight.Naru, Cecily, and Hina were quietly asleep on the bed, exhausted from running around the palace all day.And so this time beneath the moon solely belonged to the adults.
I tried desert wine for the first time ever.I didn’t know what it was made of but the first taste was sweet like fruit and the end burned like fire, but it was cold as ice as it went down the throat.
“This is an interesting drink.”
As I swirled the remaining liquid in the golden cup, Salome approached me. Then she wrapped her arms around my neck like a snake.
“So? This is me.”
What did she mean ‘this is me’?Of course, I think I knew what she was trying to say. She wanted to boast that she was of high status.
Fwoosh—Salome aromatically smelled of peaches.Her arms around my neck and shoulders were thin but high in temperature so it felt like I was wrapped by a warm python.
