Chapter 350: A Frosty New Year Morning
The new day arrived as the first morning of the new year, but looking outside the window, Annalise saw nothing but dark clouds and snow-covered grounds. Even the forest looked dead.
Determined not to let the gloomy weather dampen her mood, she turned away from the window and shifted her gaze toward the bed, where Valerius was still fast asleep. His beautiful silver hair was spread across the pillow while he slept soundly. He appeared so relaxed that it made a smile bloomed on Annalise’s lips.
She had woken up quite early and was unable to return to sleep, so she decided to get dressed and help Aunt Claire and others in the kitchen with the preparation of the new year’s first meal.
Before she started getting ready for the day, she cast a simple spell to keep any sounds from waking up Valerius. Her fingertips danced with magic as she whispered the incantation, ensuring he would enjoy a peaceful slumber a little while longer.
Due to her passionate activities with Valerius the previous night, there were several marks all over her body. It took her a while to cover them with spells, a skill she had honed over the past several months since she needed to use it every time she spent her nights with her husbands.
As she was brushing her hair, she heard knocks on the door, and then Damien pushed it open, peeking inside.
"Good morning, Princess. If you don’t mind, can we come in?" He asked as his gaze landed on her as if he knew exactly where she was.
Annalise, still holding the brush, hurriedly nodded her head, allowing her other two husbands to enter while Valerius remained peacefully asleep on the bed.
Kenric, with his mischievous grin, noticed Valerius’ sleeping form and couldn’t resist teasing her. "Little Bird, it seems you’ve exhausted my brother with your charms. He’s sleeping like a baby."
