Chapter 125: Sort Your Feelings Out
Seeing as the Midnight Sun had finally come, Mineah together with her Shadow Maidens wasted no time in moving into the King’s Palace.
"Finally!" Zaila burst out as they walked the path of the spacious courtyard where Mineah’s Coupling Rites and other special events were held.
They then passed by the throne hall, and there they saw the King’s Residence where they would be staying for the foreseeable future. Passing through yet another gate, it was the first time that Mineah set foot in Nikolai’s residence.
"Welcome, Your Majesty. The King is currently waiting for you inside the Main House, I will be escorting you inside," Gregory greeted as he accommodated their arrival. "As for Lady Dani, Lady Zaila, and Lady Krisha, you three can all kindly follow her to your assigned living quarters." Gregory signaled the servant that would guide her shadow maidens.
"I don’t have a separate residence for myself?" Mineah questioned as she bit her lip. "What if Nikolai and I quarrel? There might be a time when I don’t want to stay inside the king’s bedchamber with him."
"Hmm... You’re breaking my heart, Mine," Nikolai interrupted, appearing out of the blue. "Such a scenario hasn’t even crossed my mind."
Mineah blushed while her shadow maidens chuckled at her reaction. Scoffing, she promptly signaled them to go away. Seeing as they were no longer needed, the three, together with Gregory, quickly left the area, leaving Mineah to quickly compose herself before sporting a smile as she approached Nikolai.
"Well, I don’t want us to quarrel too, but I’ve heard that’s inevitable in married life," she chuckled as she lovingly hugged him. "They even say that it sometimes spices up and strengthens the relationship. Also, why are you here? Gregory said that you’ll be waiting inside the Main house."
"Well, I thought that would at least make me look patient, but the wait was starting to kill me," Nikolai snorted with a pout. "I couldn’t help myself, so I’m here welcoming you with open arms... Only to hear you talking about wanting separate living quarters."
