Chapter 596: Even the world of sword and magic suffers credit cards
"Nat!"
It was only a day, but a day where I was totally alone without even Jade by my side, so it was several times harder than usual. The moment I walked through the portal and saw Natha, I jumped into his embrace and hugged him tight.
He carried me again after a while, and I greatly enjoyed it. Ever since Shwa came, either Natha or I always carried our baby around, so he rarely carried me. And well...I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it while doing our ’mission’ would I?
"That’s faster than I thought," Natha said while running his lips through my jaw, prompting me to giggle from the ticklish sensation.
"It’s always the right decision to leave the negotiation process to the locals," I shrugged and then added in a whisper. "And by negotiation, I meant bribes."
He arched his brow, and one side of his lips raised slightly. "Elaborate."
And so I told him about how the meeting and the dinner went while she carried me up the stairs--naturally, I also slipped in the tea about the new addition to the Hero’s party, which seemed to be his next fancy. I told him that Zarfa told me how the Hero truly gave up when she came back from our wedding, announcing to the rest of the party that, yes, I was truly married to a Demon Lord.
Natha only hummed nonchalantly, but I could see the corner of his lips twitch. You ain’t fooling your husband, Sir.
Anyway, it was midday, so everyone was looking at us when Natha came up while carrying me in his arms. Usually, I would be flustered and hide my face in his neck, or just jump off to walk on myself, but...
I didn’t want to.
I giggled slightly and tightened my hold on his neck, which he seemed to like because he couldn’t even pretend not to smile. But then he continued walking to the street instead of the carriage, and I was getting confused.
