Chapter 24: The Flower Buds
Kenric watched as Valerius placed a sleeping Annalise on her bed and adjusted her in a comfortable position.
The tension in the air was clear and the look on Damien’s face screamed that the man was about to lose his shit at any moment.
"Try not to destroy her room. She has worked hard to change its gloomy and broken appearance." He said those words softly but knew that the Second Dark Lord had clearly heard every word spoken by him.
"I’m trying," Damien muttered back in response as he took a deep breath to calm himself down a little bit.
Kenric took his time to survey the room and he noticed the new things that their wife had added in the past few days. A few portraits were hanging on the wall, and the bookshelf had a couple of more books that she had retrieved from the library.
There were also a couple of candlestick holders sitting around the room with some new and some half-used candles sitting on them.
But the most surprising change was the vines that were covering a major portion of the room - there were flower buds peeking from behind some leaves.
"I have never seen flowers on these vines ever before." He couldn’t help but say out loud as he moved closer to take a look at one of the flower buds. He was curious to know what kind of flower would bloom from it.
"We have been seeing so many impossible things ever since she came here," Valerius spoke as he spared a glance at the vines. His eyes took in the newly formed buds. "Only here," he added after a while before returning his attention to Annalise.
