Chapter 217: The Flamebond
Unexpectedly, the flame bond had taken a toll on Katelina, leaving her feeling lethargic. When she finally woke up late in the morning, she noticed that Ezekiel was no longer beside her.
She lazily sat up just as Asura entered her tent. "You’re finally awake, Your Majesty," Asura greeted with a wide, teasing smile. Katelina ignored the teasing and said, "I feel so sore, Asura, and I don’t have the energy to lift a finger. Where is Kiel?"
"Looks like the two of you are truly in a deep bond now for you to call him by his nickname," Asura commented with a grin. "He had to attend an important meeting. He’s also closely monitoring the list of missing persons with demon blood who approached Helion."
Asura sat by her bedside with a tray of breakfast and said, "King Ezekiel personally prepared this beef soup for you at dawn, thinking you might wake up hungry. Since you slept longer than expected, I reheated it. Eat this before you rest again."
Katelina felt her stomach grumble and immediately began eating the soup.
"A healer checked on you before sunrise," Asura continued. "You’ll need complete rest today, but you should feel better tomorrow. Just drink the potion the healer left."
Katelina lazily nodded, taking in everything Asura said. "The hunt is scheduled for tomorrow. I’d like to join," she murmured with a sigh.
"Yes, you’ll be able to join if you refrain from making love to His Majesty tonight. You’re not a werewolf who can easily heal, and he just, well, took you for the first time last night. Riding a horse tomorrow will be uncomfortable if you continue," Asura advised straightforwardly, causing Katelina’s face to turn a deep shade of red.
"I will get indigestion with the way you’re looking at me," Katelina complained, noticing how Asura was staring at her.
