Chapter 399: Something New

Lena didn't know why but it was so hard to not sink into the weight of the other. It hadn't been that long, had it? Yet all the emotions that hit someone after not seeing a person they cared about forever hit her all at once. 

Emotions that she wasn't used to feeling so rapidly. As with anything else though, she pushed them back to avoid them. Not now. Not yet. Everything still wasn't fully okay.

"I haven't died so I don't quite see why I am getting such a warm reception." The rumbling of the other's chest as they spoke only made the princess want to press into them even further. At least until she was certain that the event was real. 

One look to see that it was Richard made him turn it off immediately. He went back to bouncing his knees as his eyes remained fixed on the door, silently willing it to open. Surely by now they would have some kind of answers or Lena herself would've been able to come out and tell them herself what was going on.
