Chapter 119: First Night Together Part 1
Elys’ mouth hung open as she followed Aleksander strode towards the sofa. What was he trying to do here? Surely the proud and arrogant royal vampire in him wouldn’t let himself sleep on such a tiny sofa?
The sofa’s length and width wouldn’t even fit his entire body should he lie down!
"What are you doing, husband?" Elys demanded, "Don’t tell me..." she trailed off.
She still was unable to process the thought of Aleksander actually volunteering himself to sleep on the sofa so she could be comfortable alone on the bed.
The young king sat on the Elys’ spot. He turned and their eyes met, his molten silvers seemingly sparkling in the slightly dim light the lamp provided them.
"Go to sleep," Aleksander said.
"And you?" Elys asked. "Aleksander, don’t guilt me into this. I did suggest I could stay within the Queen’s bedchambers. Cordelia will keep me company."
"No," Aleksander said, his voice adamant. "You will stay here where I can keep you safe myself."
Elys pouted, "Why do you insist when I myself am powerful enough to defend myself?"
Aleksander paused for a minute, mulling over what he should counter. Elys watched him walk over to his desk and grab several documents before heading back to the sofa. He perused over one paper, and then spoke his mind.
"You are important for the success of our main goal," he said, his eyes steady on the document in his hands, but then glanced at her momentarily, "Wife, I will not take my chances. Your little walk was an exception, but this will be how we do it until I can secure you reliable knights."
