Chapter 26: This is the way I shower love
Alora remained seated on the mattress as per the instructions of the head servant, who brought her to the chamber and even made sure she would have her dinner. Earlier, two attendants helped her in bathing and later, dressed her in an attire, which felt soft against her skin. Though she was not used to it, she could not either refuse it.
She wondered when would Magnus come to the chamber. Alora had a lot of thoughts in her mind, that she wanted to share with Magnus. She touched her blindfold, thinking if she should remove it.
"Your Highness, let the blindfold stay on your eyes. We are still present here," the head maidservant stated.
Promptly, Alora brought her hand down and let it rest on her lap. She fidgeted with her fingers, thinking about how she would spend the night with Magnus, who was now her husband. She recalled her mother's advice to be a good wife to Magnus.
"Your Highness," the head maidservant curtsied Magnus, who just had entered the chamber, along with the two attendants.
Alora lifted her head to learn that Magnus was in the chamber. She swiftly stood up and kept her head low after bowing to him.
Magnus signaled the servants to leave and in a few seconds, a loud thud of closing the door was heard.
Magnus checked out Alora from head to toe before striding toward her. He lifted her chin with his calloused fingers. "Let's open the blindfold for you," he said. His other hand reached to the back of her head to loosen the knot.
The blindfold cascaded off Alora's eyes and her enchanted blue eyes met with Magnus' blood-red eyes. He took a moment to admire her eyes– the eyes which tempted him toward her.
