Chapter 184: A Vacation
Mineah woke up later than usual the next morning. Looking at her side, she was no longer surprised when Nikolai was no longer beside her. They were scheduled to leave today, after all, so her husband was probably busy having meetings with his officers before leaving.
"I can’t wait to tell him everything," she mused as she moved to get ready. She would first have to talk to her mother, Tarah, and wizard Lurio to confirm Ezekiel’s condition. They must make sure that her brother was able to control his ability to shapeshift first before she could tell Nikolai everything.
Humming to herself, she was fixing her hair when Nikolai entered. He had a bright smile on his face as he walked towards her. "Let me help you," he offered.
Smiling back, Mineah let him take her comb. "Do you know how to do it?" she curiously asked.
"Well, the reason I know how to comb your hair and do a few hairstyles is because my sister Ezme would often ask me to fix her hair," Nikolai chortled in recollection. "At first, it was a struggle. But in time, I must say that practice indeed makes things perfect."
"Let’s see if you’ll do great then."
Letting him do his thing, Mineah watched as she let her husband fix her hair. She grabbed a hand mirror and watched him work, making sure that he wouldn’t make anything too offending while fixing her hair.
After a few moments, he crooned, "Done!"
Mineah raised an eyebrow as she looked at herself in the mirror. "I must say that you have a talent for it, Lai," she praised, loving what he did with her hair. He braided her hair from the crown of her head to the nape of her neck. "You have some skill in hair styling." She then stood up and hugged him. "Thank you."
