Capítulo 714: Piece Of Jewellery

Late into the night, after troubling Seren both in the bath and on the bed, Drayce found himself cradling his tired wife, who slept soundly in his arms. Though her slumber was deep, sleep evaded him entirely. The previous night, Seren had suffered from the fire element power within her, and now he fretted that tonight might bring a repeat of that ordeal. His concern for his wife eclipsed any desire his own body had for rest.

Suddenly, a sense of intrusion flooded his awareness, stirring him from his vigil. 'What is he doing here at this hour?' 

He glanced at Seren, reluctant to leave her side but knowing he must. With careful movements so as not to disturb her, he began to rise, but Seren, sensing his motions, opened her eyes to gaze at him.

"Are you unable to sleep, Dray?" she inquired, her voice heavy with sleep.

"My Queen, something came up, and I must leave for a time," he replied softly.
