Chapter 191: The Codex
Mineah chuckled as she looked at her husband’s disguise. It was ingenious, but it still looked funny to her as she watched him squirm as if his current clothes wouldn’t work as intended.
"I can’t believe I’m doing this," he shook his head as he murmured.
"Well, you are now," Mineah chuckled as she fixed his hood. Eventually, she clicked her tongue as she knitted her brows at him. "This won’t do at all. You’d still obviously outshine anyone despite your current look. You should look more like a commoner," she grumbled. "Hmm... Maybe it’s best we use magic instead?"
There was no use even trying to put basic clothes on him. He was simply too handsome and eye-catching that even if she put an ordinary hood around him, he still stood out like a sore thumb.
"Look at you mumbling in dissatisfaction," he chuckled as he adjusted to his clothes. "Have you seen what you look like in your disguise?"
Mineah scoffed, knowing full well that she at least looked her part with what she was currently wearing. It wasn’t the first time she did this, after all. Even back in Ebodia, she would always go out with her shadow maidens in disguise to hunt for wild plants, often also being disguised as a man. Still, even then, Niran would usually fix her appearance with magic since they said she still looked too eye-catching.
After a few more minutes of trying to make things work, Mineah gave up with a shrug. "Let’s just go out like this," she snorted. "We’re already dressed as commoners anyways, and we also have our hoods to cover us, so no one will probably recognize us. At least, I hope so."
"So adorable," Nikolai smirked as he playfully cupped her face till her lips puckered. He then leaned closer and gave her a resounding kiss.
Surprised, Mineah blushed and in turn, she pinched her husband’s cheeks gently in retaliation. "You look very cute as well, you know!" She then wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Come now. I’m sure Laura is excited to meet you."
