Chapter 108: Back To The Portal Hall
Annalise struggled with all the items that she was holding in her hands, or more like managing not to drop. Her husbands didn’t hold back while buying stuff for her, everything that caught their eyes and made them think that she would like, they bought it.
There were candies and various sorts of other snacks that really looked mouth-watering. Then there were some jewelry sets, rouge, a beautiful hand fan made of peacock feathers, and lastly, a little cute rabbit lantern.
They had already arrived outside the Portal Hall after crossing the entire market street but not once did even one of her three husbands offered their help to carry the items. All the happiness that she felt when they were buying things for her, disappeared on her way to Portal Hall.
She was so deep in her self-pity that she didn’t notice where she was heading and ended up bumping against the solid back of Damien. The man was quick in his actions as he immediately turned around and wrapped one of his hands around her waist, pulling her into his arms before she could have stepped away.
He looked down at the items in her arms and then returned his attention to her face before asking, "Your hands must be hurting, right?"
Annalise immediately nodded her head, thinking that at least one of her husbands realized what she had gone through while holding all those stuff for such a long time. However, her happiness was short-lived as Damien’s next words left her totally baffled.
The man turned to look at Valerius and Kenric who weren’t standing too far away, as he spoke, "See! I told you both that her physical state is even worse than her magical one. As for her mental power..." He returned his attention to her as he finished the sentence, "... she lacks it too when really needed."
Annalise stared at her husband in pure surprise and then hurriedly pulled away from his arms as she asked, "What do you mean?" His words were really mean and she would be lying if she said that she wasn’t offended at all.
"I’m just stating the facts," Damien replied as he started taking the items from her arms along with the magical pouch that was hanging on her waist. "The distance from the market area to this place was barely half an hour long, still your weak body wasn’t able to handle just that." He said while putting the bag of jewelry inside the pouch.
