Chapter 156: Mumblings
A person’s subconscious is a dangerous place to be for someone who wasn’t supposed to be there. Aleksander knew the risks if he tried to enter forcefully, especially the fact that Elys’ mind seemed to be more guarded even compared to most vampires in the kingdom.
The young king’s hand hovered above Elys’ forehead.
A second ago he had tried to enter her head, but then he hesitated and now his hand was stuck motionless for almost five minutes already.
’This feels wrong,’ he thought to himself, ’I vowed to protect her safety if she agreed to rest here where I can watch over her, and yet here I am trying to invade her privacy.’
Suddenly, Elys’ words from when they argued ringed inside the vampire’s head.
’You can always just speak to me, you know?’ Elys had told him.
She was right...
His wife was the master of her own mind and body, and Aleksander shouldn’t be deciding on his own about anything regarding Elys. He needed to remind himself that over and over again, until the time that he didn’t need to anymore.
Aleksander withdrew his outstretched hand, and then pulled the sheer fabric of the canopies to close them. He leaned back on his chair and just decided to watch over Elys as she slept.
