Chapter 10: To stay the entire night here
"Stop right there!" Magnus ordered, and Alora halted at her place. "Close the door," he added.
"Huh? Why?" Alora asked in a trembling voice and gulped.
"Don't ask questions. Just close the door, Alora," Magnus said with a stern tone.
"I'll come after His Highness changes his clothes." Alora went toward the door, ignoring his command when with a gush of wind Magnus appeared in front of her. The door was shut with a loud voice and Alora's breath hitched.
Fortunately, Alora had closed her eyes, so she couldn't see Magnus' naked sight. "Your Highness, if anyone comes here and sees us together, then the matter can escalate. I shall wait for His Highness outside in the lounge," she humbly said despite being feared.
"I don't wish to let you go," Magnus whispered in her ear.
Realizing Magnus's closeness, Alora promptly opened her eyes and tilted her head to gaze at him. "I won't ever enter Your Highness' bedroom without his permission. Please, forgive me this time," Alora said as her lips trembled.
"What if I don't want to forgive you?" Magnus inquired.
"Why? Your Highness, everyone makes mistakes, even princes," Alora spoke gently, attempting to calm him after her release.
"I NEVER perceive my bad actions as mistakes. I'll forgive you once you open your eyes and truly see me," Magnus declared firmly.
"What? No! I couldn't possibly gaze upon Your Highness," Alora adamantly refused to open her eyes.
