"Pft! Alright, I'd admit, I did not expect that," King Calum said, letting a short laugh escape his lips. "Are you that happy hearing that I will avenge you?"

"No, not the avenge part," Azalea replied, her face, blushing. "You seemed worried about me, that's why".

"Well, I - ," King Calum wanted to say something but he hesitated and averted his eyes afterwards, "Nevermind". Instead he inched his face closer to Azalea's and kissed her on the lips. It was a short and gentle peck. "Now, tell me".

"Uhmm … just a peck?"

King Calum was taken aback. Raising one his eyebrows he smirked and asked her, "Are you sure you want me to do more than that? I'm telling you, it won't stop with just a kiss if I start again".
