Chapter 254: To Tease Him Forever
"The bigger the head, the better,"
His brow arched as a playful smirk tugged at his lips. "The better for what?" he asked, his voice laced with laughter as his eyes narrowed with mock suspicion.
Her laughter bubbled out like a stream, uncontainable and infectious. "I don’t know! I just wanted to say that," she admitted between giggles, her cheeks flushed.
Alaric couldn’t hold back anymore, his laughter joining hers, rich and hearty.
The sound echoed down the stone halls, and as the few nearby servants and courtiers glanced their way, soft smiles spread across their faces.
They were a vision of vibrance and love, their shared joy lighting up the otherwise serious corridors of the castle.
A lively couple whose laughter felt like a balm to all who witnessed them, as though even the stones of Wyfkeep Castle softened in their presence.
As the moment passed, Alaric leaned closer, his voice dropping to a whisper only she could hear. "You’ll be the death of me, Salviana. But what a way to go."
She smirked, looping her arm through his. "Then I’ll make sure you live a long life, my fire prince. Who else would I tease?"
His dark eyes softened, and he pulled her closer as they strolled down the corridor.
Whatever the world threw at them, moments like these reminded them of the solace they found in each other.
