Chapter 10: The Magic of His Embrace
Annalise looked up at the man who just asked a very confusing question and found his eyes locked on the Moon Thread on her wrist.
’So that was what he was referencing to.’ She thought while looking at her Moon Thread that was still shining softly even in the daylight.
"There is." She answered his question as she took out one of the two remaining Moon Threads that she had in her possession.
She was about to offer the thread to the Lord but before she could have done that, Valerius surprised her just like Lord Kenric as he too offered his wrist to her. She took a glance at him and found his eyes looking back at her as he waited patiently for her to tie the Moon Thread.
Not wanting to test his patience, she hurriedly took a few steps closer to him before she started tying the Moon Thread around his left wrist. She felt nervous as she could still feel his eyes on her and it was nothing but a pure struggle for her to get the knot of the thread in place without making any mistakes.
"Aren’t you angry at us? For not coming to the marriage ceremony?" he asked all of a sudden, surprising her once again.
He was the first one to talk about this matter because Kenric didn’t even talk about the wedding ceremony at all. And while she wasn’t expecting the Dark Lords to apologize for abandoning her at their wedding, she was at least expecting some sort of explanation.
But when Kenric didn’t bring the topic up, she decided to let go and no longer worry about the past. It wasn’t like their explanation would have changed anything.
That’s why she felt surprised when Lord Valerius brought up the topic. But instead of apologizing or giving any sort of explanation, he asked a very unexpected question.
