Chapter 209: Alora, a magical being
Magnus gently ran his fingers through Alora’s hair, his gaze fixed on her face with an intensity that was filled with affection.
After a while, he carefully withdrew his hand, ensuring not to disturb her sleep. He silently slipped out of the bed, moving with a grace that made his actions almost soundless.
He made his way to the washroom, carrying out his morning routine before he was in the bathhouse. He hoped to meet his father, King Esmond, in this early morning, so that he could talk with him in solitude.
As he emerged from the bathhouse, he was greeted by Tobias, his loyal aide. Tobias looked at him with a hint of concern in his eyes. "Good morning, Your Highness. Are you feeling better now?"
Magnus responded with a reassuring smile, "Yes, I am feeling much better. I’ve fully recovered," he said with a smile.
"Selvina, isn’t the Princess awake?" Tobias inquired.
"Let her rest," Magnus replied. "She is exhausted since yesterday’s activities," he added.
With that, Magnus turned on his heel and strode away, his steps echoing in the quiet corridor. Soon, he found himself standing outside the chamber where his father, King Esmond, was present. The guard at the entrance immediately stepped aside, allowing him to enter.
Magnus’ gaze fell upon his father, who was seated comfortably on the couch, sipping from a cup of blood. He paused in his stride, offering his father a respectful bow before straightening up to meet his gaze.
