Chapter 152: Have You Gone Mad?!
Aleksander was not thinking straight. All he could ever think of at the moment was the fact that Elys was holding onto him for dear life. The vampire had jumped out the wide arched open window without much of a plan but to get his wife to himself.
"What the hell are you doing, Aleksander?!" she yelled into his ears, "Have you gone mad?!"
Elys’ chambers were only at the fourth floor of the palace, but the height from floor to ceiling per floor was too high to accommodate most lavish chandeliers to hang from. Such heights were deemed to be usually more than what normal humans could jump off and not get injured.
Of course, if she had to, Elys could actually jump off such heights but that would need her to add a few spells to ease her landing.
She might have come from a kingdom of hardened warriors, but even she was not immortal - a fatal fall could be the death of her.
She could try to wrestle her way out of Aleksander’s grip, but that was too dangerous to do while they were midair. They were free falling for almost half a minute already, the winds whipping on her face as gravity pulled them down.
In her frustration, Elys reached for Aleksander’s shoulder and pinched him. Her long nails dug in, and Aleksander winced at the sudden pain that he felt.
"Ow!" he yowled. "What was that for?"
"That was for doing whatever you want without asking me first!" she replied. "Now tell me, what the hell are you doing and why did you jump off, Aleksander?"
