Chapter 45: Chapter-45

Ajex stares down at the half-awake person who was still rubbing her eyes and yawning at the same time. "My lady, did I disturb your sleep?" Ajax questioned in a little concerned voice.

"Ah, no...no...not at all." Lucien stretches her arms along with her body making a little moaning sound. "You were late though."

"Pardon?"

"It's nothing, everything is alright now," Lucien was still yawning, not even bothering to close her wide stretched leg.

Ajex was hoping she would stand up but Lucien wasn't planning to stand up any minute. So, he sat down beside her but not too close.

"Did something occur, my lady?"

"Ah, no. Not really, it–" Lucien paused when she noticed Ajex hair was damped. There were some noticeable droplets of water at the tip of his hair and even some on his skin.

"Were you taking a bath?" She curiously questioned as she lifts her hand towards his cheeks. "...or were you crying?" Her finger gently wipes a droplet of water right across his rubicund eyes.
