Chapter 543: I’m Cold

Inside the King and Queen's bedchamber, Xenia stirred as she carefully moved herself out from Darius's embrace and get up from her bed. 

Standing up, she lazily grabbed the nearest blanket and wrapped her naked body for cover. She then quietly walked towards the long and soft cushion chair near the balcony and sat down, casually lazing about as she stared up at the moonlight.

She couldn't help but smile as her thoughts wandered to her friends within the Realm of Eferia. Surely they saw how she had succeeded in the Trial by Combat. "How come no one congratulated me…" she murmured with a pout. 

"My love, it's quite cold out there…" Darius murmured to her from behind. 

Craning her neck at him, she smiled as she watched him confidently walk towards her in all of his naked glory.

"What do you say?" he sluggishly asked while still properly giving her a good look at his chiseled body. "Do you prefer this view? Or do you prefer the moonlight?"
