Chapter 15: Alora allures me
Alora gazed admiringly into Magnus's eyes. She was captivated and entranced by his red eyes, so she did not even dare to blink. She opted to stay ducked, maintaining an intimate position similar to that of couples during a dance, leaning against the back, engrossed in the moment with him.
"How long do you wish to stay like this?" Magnus asked, bringing her out of the trance.
Alora shook her head and promptly stood straight, taking a step away from him. "I apologize," she whispered.
Magnus tapped his finger once against her forehead. "You should say thank you for saving me, Your Highness," he said as he dropped his hand to his side.
Alora peered at him and repeated the same words. Magnus ended up smiling and went in the opposite direction of hers.
Alora chose to run after him and walked closely behind him. 'He is very tall,' she thought, lifting her head. "My brother is shorter than him," she murmured as she recalled seeing Elliot from behind only.
"Shorter than who?" Magnus interrupted her chain of thoughts.
"Huh?" Alora was surprised he heard a low voice too. "My brother, Your Highness," she replied.
"Why are you walking behind me?" Magnus questioned her and halted suddenly. He turned to face her when he saw Tobias coming in their direction. However, when Tobias realized Alora was without the blindfold, he stopped at his place and lowered his eyes.
"What is it, Tobias?" Magnus questioned.
"Your Highness, a message has come for Miss Alora," Tobias informed and looked at the scroll in his hand.
