Chapter 106: He Did Too?!
The next morning, Aideen woke up alone again, but this time, the feeling of loneliness was not as palpable.
Sure, she still missed Tillian’s presence beside her and could not wait for the weekend to arrive because it would mean waking up right beside him. However, the pleasant and intimate time they spent together in the bathtub managed to fill her with so much love that she was willing to be patient enough to wait.
Stretching her body across the vast and soft surface of the bed, the princess closed her eyes, recalling her husband’s strong and warm embrace, savoring the memory of their closeness.
’Perhaps this is what real love is... Not the love described in fairy tales or romance novels, but the love between two real people... Just two people being there for each other, comfortable with each other, away from the hectic outside world. Even though we were both naked, Tillian did not force me to do anything because he was concerned for my condition. He truly cares for me... And I cannot get enough of it. I am truly happy.’
With that comforting thought in mind, Aideen got up from the bed, ready to begin her day, and noticed a small note left for her on the nightstand. It was written in Tillian’s handwriting.
After examining the note’s contents, the princess raised her thin eyebrows as it clearly stated that today’s lessons on magic were canceled by Ahspid himself.
"It was Ahspid who canceled the lesson? Why? I don’t think it is necessary. I am feeling completely fine, and I am sure we would not be doing anything too straining today anyway..."
Determined to convince the mage that such a decision was unnecessary, she quickly draped herself in a long silk robe to cover her thin nightgown and rushed out of the bedroom. There, in the chilly embrace of the second floor’s corridor, the lady noticed King Yuraon’s servants marching out of his bedroom with his bags packed and ready to depart.
Stunned and confused, Aideen watched the tall and robust men march one after the other in a strangely straight line until she finally noticed Safie, who was also leaving the young King’s bedroom.
