Chapter 31: Smoke Beneath the Stars
Chapter 31 – Smoke Beneath the Stars
Kaden walked slowly outside, but he didn't take the route toward his carriage. And still, Rea followed behind him in a slow and steady manner.
The night was quite beautiful, with stars filling the sky—making it one of the rarest things in the world of Darklore... a starry night.
A perfect time for a date.
But none of the two young people here cared about that.
One, because he just didn't care about any of this and wanted to go home and prepare for Fokay.
The other, because she was now in a bad mood after Nuke's words.
All in all,
The atmosphere was quite awkward. And Kaden didn't even try to change it.
'What a bother...' Kaden thought inwardly. He may have acted in favor of Rea back inside, but it was only because she was now officially his fiancée, so even if he didn't actually hold any feelings for her—or anything at all—he had to act on her behalf.
That's what honor does.
