Chapter 213: Training Plans
"You seem too lost," Damien stated as he walked down the couple of steps and headed straight to the bed where Annalise was sitting with her gaze fixed on the night sky visible from the open window. She really enjoyed gazing at the moon and the stars every chance she got.
Annalise turned her attention toward her husband as a bright smile bloomed on her lips as soon as her gaze landed on him. Despite being the holder of shadow magic, he only made her feel positive and bright.
"Have you ever wondered exactly how beautiful the Seelie Realm was? Exactly how powerful the light faes were, especially the Light Fae Queen?" She found herself asking him tge question that had been swirling through her mind ever since her meeting with Pristine during the noon.
Damien took a seat next to her on the bed before he responded, "Why are you wondering about such things all of a sudden?" He didn’t sound confused, nor was there any judgment in his tone, only curiosity.
A deep sigh escaped Annalise’s lips as she answered, "I just can’t keep myself from wondering about various things. Everything happening around me is making me wonder if I’m too slow for this fast pacing world. I hardly catch up with one thing only to find that there are already several other matters waiting for me. This is getting kind of tiring."
Damien didn’t respond immediately but she felt him scooting closer to her before one of his arms went to wrap around her waist. "I wanted to talk about this matter with you... actually, all three of us wanted to talk about it for a while." He was clearly talking about himself and the other two dark lords.
Annalise turned her attention toward her husband at his chosen words, wondering what exactly he wanted to talk about with her.
"These days, all of us kept feeling that you are keeping a lot of things in your heart... matters or situations that are actually burdening you from inside. Of course, you are doing a great job of keeping your emotions hidden from us by putting up those powerful walls between our bonds but we can still feel it." He admitted as he took hold of one of her hands in his free one before continuing.
"We are not only your husbands, Princess, we are also your soulmates. You can try hiding things from us but our souls can still feel every time you are suffering... just like right now."
Annalise looked straight into Damien’s eyes and saw pure worry reflecting from his beautiful orbs as he gazed back at her. "I won’t deny that there are indeed things that have rocked my entire world at the moment. You are aware of some of those while there are others that I haven’t shared with anyone... but this time, I want to take care of things on my own... unless I fail to do it."
