Chapter 410: So Warm
Abel shook his head as he went into his mist form and took Dani straight to the private bath area in his bedchamber. He then called on some of his female servants and instructed, "Help her clean up and get changed."
Without so much as looking back, he then immediately went out and used one of his spare bedchambers to clean himself up in its own private privy.
"Damn," he murmured as he stripped naked and quickly cleaned himself up. He couldn’t believe this just happened. Never in his hundred years had he experienced something like this.
Still shaking his head, Abel took his time in the waters before quickly dressing up in his nightwear. By the time he went back to his bedchamber, Dani was already in the comfort of his bed. She was asleep, still clearly drunk and exhausted.
"Seriously, did you fall asleep instead of getting sober after they cleaned you up?" Abel mumbled as he sat and joined Dani on his bed.
Looking at her, he knew that he should just return her to her own bedchamber. However, he had the excuse of not knowing where exactly her bedchamber was located in the Queen’s quarters. And besides, Nikolai had placed strict security measures in the Queen’s residence recently. In addition, he was already so tired that he simply wanted to rest instead of doing much else. As such, he laid himself beside Dani who was currently sleeping soundly without a care in the world. She looked good in his tunic, and she was wearing nothing except that one tunic.
Abel gulped, inwardly cursing upon noting that description. He then shook his head, and he was about to get up to sleep in another bedchamber when Dani moved and hugged him tightly, snuggling her face comfortably on the crook of his neck. Not only that... she wrapped her legs around him as if he were a pillow.
Abel blinked before shrugging at his predicament. He could’ve easily gotten away by shifting into his mist form, but he didn’t know why he didn’t. Instead, he remained there, unmoving. He found the feeling of her body against him so warm and comforting, and it reminded him that it had been a while since he felt how warm a human body was. Rosela had already been turned into a Scion when he became intimately involved with her, and he had never been with any other woman except for her ever since his wife Ella died.
Rosela’s body wasn’t warm. She was cold like him.
