Book 12: Chapter 55
She clasped my face with her hands and gave me a gentle kiss on my head. She greeted me with a smile, “Good morning, Troy. Wait. You are now King of the North, King Troy.”
I rubbed my eyes. I virtually couldn’t open my eyes due to my sleepiness and fatigue. Perhaps I didn’t want to wake up at all. Something furry suddenly brushed my eyes and nose, inducing an urge to sneeze. I opened my eyes to see a red tail swaying back and forth in front of my face.
“Under normal circumstances, I’d be very willing to lay here with you for a while longer. However, today is your coronation ceremony, so you can’t be late.”
I turned my head to see Ling Yue supporting her face with her hand and scanning me. Her long red hair was sprawled out on the bed, while her pure-white skin was underneath the blanket. Smiling, she said, “You, honestly, haven’t changed. It’s very tough for me to see you as the ruler of the North.”
“You’re right. I indeed can’t be considered the ruler of the North in front of you. I’m your husband.” I turned over to hug her.
Ling Yue giggled softly and pushed me away: “Stop messing. You should get up now. There are lots of things to do today. Your coronation ceremony is today. Don’t show such an exhausted gaze.”
Ling Yue clasped my face, and then gave me a kiss out of the blue. However, she moved her face away before I could react. She smiled: “That kiss was for encouragement. Go on, my husband.”
“All right.”
I touched her eyes then sat up and began to get dressed. She rolled onto her back and let out a soothing sigh. She watched me from behind and asked, “Did you really not find yourself another personal servant? Doesn’t it feel strange to have to clean your own room when you’re the King of the North? Lucia and Nier have their own rooms now, so you have to clean your own room. Doesn’t it feel a little dreary to have to clean your own room up after coming back from work every night?”
