Chapter 220: On Mauve’s love life.
It was a busy day at the Vale, a funny one too. But, by the time the stars came out, everyone at The Vale was enjoying a cup of hot chocolate as they tended to their duties. Even Cosmos abandoned his wine flask and enjoyed five cups of hot chocolate.
Sigrid and Roland enjoyed it while watching television, and again in the bedroom when he licked melted chocolate off her breasts. After enjoying the tasty dish that was his wife’s body with a chocolate topping, Roland declared that he had a new favorite dessert.
*************
Mauve’s mother came calling much sooner than Sigrid anticipated for she arrived at The Vale the very next morning. Sigrid had just finished breakfast and she was about to head out for road inspection when Lady Silver arrived.
Her arrival coincided with Roland’s exit. He was supposed to meet with other knights, to prepare for the war against Nemoris which they would soon fly off to. By soon, it was simply a day away.
"Good luck." Roland mouthed to her as he made a quick exit. He had a feeling that Lady Silver was about to grill his wife like a fish on a stick over a fire.
Sigrid was not worried, she invited Lady Silver to the living room and they exchanged polite greetings.
"What brings you by Lady Silver." Sigrid leaned back against the chair lazily. Her gloved hands embraced a vacuum cup of hot cocoa that she was planning to take with her on the road inspection.
Roland’s panther appeared out of nowhere and leaped into her lap. It closed its eyes and went to sleep with ease.
