Chapter 278: Kiss
To be honest, even though Mira's hair smelled sweet, it still felt a bit awkward being carried like a princess in her arms.
Especially with all the passing glances from the villagers, some amused, some understanding, and the knowing look from the village chief. It made Rhodes feel... well, mildly embarrassed.
Mira, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy it more and more.
The warm glow of torchlight flickered over her smile, softening her expression and hiding the rosy blush on her cheeks.
Thankfully, the chief's house wasn't far. When they reached the door, Rhodes finally insisted on getting down. He had his pride. No matter how weak he felt, he wasn't about to be carried across the threshold like a bride, unless Mira received Satan Soul and forced it.
Jasper, having clearly picked up on their relationship, had arranged just one room for them.
After all, wizards often shared rooms on jobs, especially when they were partners.
Even if the room only had a single large bed.
It was totally normal... Mira told herself this confidently as she opened her suitcase and took out toiletries and pajamas.
Rhodes caught a glimpse of two pieces of clothing that were suspiciously black and lacy.
Before he could say anything, Mira clutched the garments to her chest, slammed the lid shut, and shot him a warning look before quickly heading to the bathroom.
