Chapitre 228: Horseflesh and Happiness

ETAN (One Month Later)

Etan stood, his entire body thrumming with impatience, as Quwan called to the gathered nobles and told them that the Queen was expected any moment, and to please be patient and ensure they left the aisle open for her to reach the King.

Etan sighed and opened and closed his fists, unable to stand still. Upstairs, he knew, Ayleth was almost ready. He could feel her through the bond—feel how close she was. 

The strength of her love and the ache—for him!—always left him breathless. She loved him with all of her being. It was humbling and frightening, and the most precious gift he'd ever been given. And the one he almost lost.
