Chapter 126: Calm Before the Storm
She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled. He was so handsome. She wanted to eat him this made her giggle and blush while Alaric listened to her heartbeat with a smile.
After he opened the door she knew he would want to use his camp speed to take them back but she didn’t want that. She wanted to be seen.
She hated the castle to know her husband cherished her so she mumbled, "Don’t speed off, let’s walk like humans,"
"Yes, my lady" he chuckled lightly as he dropped a kiss on her finger that had managed to reach his lip when she couldn’t trailing then all over where her hand could touch.
This was her life now and she loved it!
They started to walk home.
The castle corridors were quiet save for the occasional whispers of maids and the distant clink of a knight’s armour.
The soft glow of torches on the stone walls illuminated the striking sight of Alaric, the powerful lord of the realm, striding confidently through the halls. In his arms, Salviana lay, her hair cascading over his arm like fire against his dark cloak.
She was smiling—a rare, radiant smile—and her cheeks glowed with a deep blush that made her look even more beautiful to him. Her hands, seemingly unable to stay still, were busy exploring his face.
Her fingers grazed his strong jawline. "Your jaw is so sharp, Alaric," she murmured, tracing it as if testing its edges. "Are you secretly cutting paper with this?"
He smirked, his fangs barely visible as he glanced down at her. "If I said yes, would it amuse you or scare you?"
