Chapter 399: Greatest Miracle
The seasons were transitioning yet again, and the sun was particularly hot that day as summer came to the land. This was the particular season that vampires hated the most though not all of them hated it, especially since some powerful vampires were fortunate enough to have the ability to withstand the scorching sun like her husband.
Mineah looked around as she absorbed the peace and quiet. It was the first time she had witnessed the palace this quiet. Not that there were always Valcrezians around, but today, she barely saw anyone walking around except for a few officials and most of the melds that could withstand the sun. Maybe it was because the sun that day was at its peak with how hot it was. Still, she loves basking in the sun’s rays, especially during that particular day.
"It’s particularly quiet today," she commented with a pout as she walked with Nikolai, their hands clasped together as they roamed the palace courtyard. Usually, servants would be everywhere, but she only saw three at most wandering about.
"It’s summer," Nikolai explained with a grin. "Unless it’s necessary, vampires simply hate walking under this kind of heat. Now come. Hold onto me."
Mineah curiously smiled as she did exactly that. "And where are we heading this time?"
Instead of replying, Nikolai suddenly pulled her closer. It looked like he was about to transform into his mist form, and Mineah could only wonder what her husband was up to at this time of day when it was already late noon.
"We’re going fishing," he replied with a grin.
Leaving it at that, Mineah simply waited until they suddenly found themselves transported into one of Valcrez’s smaller fishing fleets. She had a wide smile on her face as she looked around the boat they were in. She could hear a violin playing a relaxing melody in the background, and it matched well with the sound of the waves around them.
"You said you were craving seafood, so let’s catch some of them fresh for our meal later," Nikolai hummed as he gestured for her to sit on the chair near the rear of the deck.
