Chapter 319
Thump thump... thump thump... I felt my heart immediately go off as soon as he turned, changing the composed expression he kept during our walk to this bedroom of mine... Into a softer one... That somehow just like I did lowered its gaze since both of us felt tense.
But then... His manly voice broke our difficult but nice silence... With words that wrecked my heart beautifully.
"Your aura... Truly enlightens these corridors, my Lady... It is wonderful I am able to pace through them again while holding your hand."
"..."
My heart might have slipped out of my chest at his words since it felt levitating to the emotion it invoked within me. However not a single thought crossed my mind as I simply enjoyed how his voice resounded in my chest.
Tap, tap, tap... Then his steps started to come my way, and I don’t know why but I backed away as he closed onto me. Still feeling flutters up my stomach fill my chest the more he came near since my own steps weren’t truly trying to get away from his dreamy presence.
"It is truly wonderful..." — The handsome hand came cautiously to touch one of mine that I held timidly before my chaotic stomach, grazing my skin with his fingertips before carefully sliding to take it sweetly. — "To see you again here... Where I have missed your presence, Lady Marianne..."
The sound of my breathing became so noticeable that I didn’t know what to think or say to him as I usually would in my head.
"...."
I ended up swallowing from nervousness... Because he felt so near, my senses weren’t working right.
"I guarded the city’s entrance until you arrived."
’... What?’
