Chapter 90: Affection
Allynna maintained a calm posture while sitting so close to Leon. Especially when they moved, their clothes rubbing against each other. She could feel the heat of his body creeping into her pores and giving her warmth. A warmth that made her want to be by his side forever was addictive.
But at the same time, this physical contact tortures her. A few minutes passed, and her mind was going wild at the thought of Leon embracing her. She remembered the night when he hugged her on her birthday. Instantly, her body tense.
As if knowing what Allynna was thinking, Leon turned to look at her. He brought his head closer to her, "Are you alright, Allynna?" Leon said, whispering close to her ear.
Leon’s faces were so close that Allynna could feel the warmth and his fresh breath brushed her skin. Make Allynna even more nervous. She could only nod in response. While with her might, she tried to distract herself from throwing her body into his arms like when she saw him after the accident in the forbidden forest. She can’t do it now. There’s her best friend with them at the moment.
Helan and Lizzy now sit without saying a single word or making a single sound. They are even breathing slowly and quietly. It’s not that they don’t want to talk, but right now, they can’t speak. The mental pressure that Crown Prince Eleon’s auras gave them made their tongues go numb, and their entire bodies felt like statues. They can’t move at all, but their minds are running wild with admiration and fear.
"My Dear Lady, have you eaten?" Leon asks Allynna again. He saw the girl at his side silently bow her head as if she was staring at the floor. He smiles then rubs her soft hand, which is still in his hand.
Allynna slowly raises her head and looks at Leon. Seeing his face reflected in the light from the lamp above, she was even more amazed at how handsome he was. His face is so fresh and shining, like the moon in the sky hanging right above his head. Again she was bewitched just looking at his face and hearing him call her ’My Dear Lady’ his sweet and gentle voice sounded like a god playing music nearby.
"Allynna?"
Allynna snapped out and immediately blinked a few times. Hastily she replied. "N-Not yet, Your Highness. I’m hungry, but it looks like they haven’t finished preparing our dinner." She said softly.
