Chapter 49: A friend to Alora
"I didn’t expect you to see here," Alaric said as he put the quill pen down and clasped her fingers. His elbows rested on the desk and he straightened his back.
"I thought to meet Brother Alaric before returning to my residence," Magnus stated. He looked at the parchments and various documents lying on the desk. "Brother Alaric has taken a lot of work," he asserted.
"Summer season usually has lots of work," Alaric replied. "Did you come alone? I thought Brother Izaak would follow you here," he remarked.
"Brother Izaak has gone somewhere. I wonder if he has gone out to work or something else," Magnus murmured. "Alora has come here. I thought to tour her around the palace and then, later take her outside."
"That’s wonderful to hear," Alaric lowered his hands and leaned back on the chair. "So, where is my sister-in-law?" he asked with a curious gaze.
"With mother. She asked me that she wished to talk alone with Alora," Magnus asserted.
"Father and Mother are concerned about you. They let you marry Alora, but her eyes bother them," he shared with him. Alaric’s tone was a bit serious.
"I can look into her eyes, so what’s the problem with that?" Magnus opined.
"They think she can be destructive to our race. You’ll have kids in the future. What if they inherit the eyes like Alora? I heard them speaking about it after they met the older vampires," Alaric explained to him.
Magnus’s brows furrowed together as he began thinking whether his mother would manipulate Alora to leave him for that reason. He knew how manipulative his mother was!
"You love her deeply, don’t you?" Alaric amusedly asked.
