Chapter 216: Goodnight, Husband
Edmund nodded. "I can change my hair color, eye color, even my height a little. It’s not a perfect disguise, but it’s good enough to fool most people."
Primrose’s eyes lit up with excitement when she heard that. She couldn’t help but imagine what he might look like after changing his appearance.
She was just about to ask him to show her, but before she could say a word, she sneezed a few times in a row.
Her nose started to sting a little from breathing in too much cold air, and her body began to tremble. She’d been in wet clothes for too long, and her damp hair kept dripping onto her face and shoulders, making her even colder.
"Let’s get you warm and dry first." Edmund wrapped an arm around her waist and led her gently into the palace, rubbing her arm softly as they walked, trying to give her a little warmth.
He asked the maids to help Primrose clean up and change into dry clothes. But before she stepped away, he leaned in and said, "I’ll be sleeping in your room." Then he added, "So after you get dressed, don’t go anywhere, just wait for me there."
[My wife must be so exhausted today. I think it’s better if she doesn’t go anywhere else anymore.]
Primrose didn’t argue. She simply nodded and gave him a small, warm smile. "Alright," she said softly. "I’ll wait for you."
The maids stayed quiet as they helped her wash and change, even Marielle, who usually liked to chat, kept her mouth shut. Still, Primrose could hear their minds buzzing with gossip about her and Edmund.
[I was so worried when I heard they had a fight,] Marielle thought to herself. [But it looks like they made up. They even kissed for so long!]
[Before Her Majesty came to the palace, I always thought His Majesty was cold and emotionless. But ... I guess I was wrong.]
