Chapter 277: Freeing The Divine Guardian Beasts (Part One)
Valerius was patient with her as he just stood there silently and just patted the back of her head softly with one of his hands while his other hand was protectively wrapped around her waist. He didn’t say anything, nor did he try to make her stop crying; instead, he just allowed her to let out the piled-up emotions.
Annalise had no idea for how long she cried and just how impatient the Dark Witches were feeling because of her, but when she finally started calming down, the only thought left with her was that of regret. She should have held back a little bit more so that they could finish the important task of creeping the Divine Guardian Beasts first.
"Though you just cried, I can feel that you are actually happy." Valerius finally spoke as he kept brushing the tips of his fingers through her hair, lightly massaging her scalp. His voice was so soft that Annalise wondered if it was only her who heard him.
"I just got accepted as a master," she admitted and immediately heard Kenric squealing in happiness from somewhere nearby.
Valerius immediately pulled away from the hug to look at her face, and there was a proud smile on his lips as he gave her a sudden but very sweet forehead kiss before speaking - "I’m so happy for you." And then she was once again pulled into a tight hug as he engulfed her into his embrace.
She felt Damien and Kenric’s presence nearby, and when Valerius finally allowed her to step away from him, she received quick hugs and bright smiles from her other two husbands as well.
"So... are we going to get started with the work or not?" Though the Witch Leader tried her best not to sound sarcastic, she didn’t really succeed completely.
Annalise hurriedly pulled away from her husbands and called the Little Snow Lion out through their shared mind link.
"What do you want us to do?" Damien asked the Witch Leader as he noticed them shifting to form some kind of formation.
