Chapter 53: That wasn't the reason

Aries slowly opened her eyes as Abel drew his head back, breaking the kiss after a long time. His eyes were brooding, wiping her lips with his thumb. 

"Your Majesty!" Abel didn't look away from her, even when he heard Conan's voice from the side. "We prepared a carriage for you and Lady Aries when we noticed the weather change."

Abel glanced at Conan for a moment while he took off his coat. When his eyes landed on her again, he draped his coat around her shoulders. 

"I can almost see everything," he uttered in a low tone, eyes on her. "Anyone who dares look at her will lose their sight instantly."

Her brows elevated, hiding in the huge coat covering her. She glanced at Conan's entourage and saw them all looking away. When she returned her gaze to Abel, the distance beneath his eyes returned. It was as though he didn't kiss her as if he wanted to swallow her just moments ago.
