Chapter 348: Dear Wife
Dahlia bit her inner lip as she stopped in her tracks just a few meters away from the secret chamber where her husband Zoran was currently staying. She didn’t know how long she stood there unmoving as she tried to reason to herself about what she was doing, but she assumed that it was longer than she should’ve taken.
Her heart and mind were still in conflict. She promised Nikolai that she wouldn’t go to Zoran until their session was finished so that their king could confirm that it was already safe for her to see Zoran on her own, she still couldn’t help but want to go to him anyway.
It was simply a struggle to stop herself, especially once she found out that Zoran went out on a mission with Nikolai to infiltrate Castle Helion. She was worried for him, even though Lady Zaila already confirmed that Zoran had returned home safe and sound. He didn’t have any major wounds, but he still used a huge amount of his inner energy, so he would need to rest before he could see anyone.
The problem for Dahlia now was that the long wait was killing her. It had been days since she last saw Zoran, and she was desperate to check on him. For some reason, she was confident that her husband wouldn’t harm her once she visited him. He showed great improvement during their last session, and that one lasted more than an hour before he had to be stopped for their own good.
"Nikolai is still unconscious," Dahlia mumbled to herself. "No one knows when he’ll wake up, but I want to see Zoran now..."
She couldn’t help but make up excuse after excuse to come and see her husband. Surely, it would be fine if she could be with him for just a brief amount of time. She already had a rough estimate of how long he could last, so all she had to do was leave before he lost himself.
Absently, she raised her arm to look at the bangle Zoran gave her. According to Zaila, it was still working, meaning it would react whenever she would be in danger. She couldn’t test it since Nikolai was always with them during their sessions and he would always hold Zoran down whenever he was losing control, but she supposed that it would turn out alright.
Dahlia took a deep breath as she gathered strength from within. Filled with unyielding determination, she nodded to herself before walking towards the door to open it without even knocking. She then walked inside the secret bedchamber, and she immediately frowned once she didn’t see Zoran inside.
"Looking for me, my wife?"
