Bab 82: Four Instances [BONUS CHAPTER]

Crown Prince Lail was in the midst of practicing with his spear when he felt his heart palpitate. Freezing, he placed his hand on his chest and immediately thought of his wife.

'Is she missing me?'

A faraway look appeared in his gaze as he stared into the distance.

He hasn't known her for that long, their first meeting not even lasting more than the time it took a candlestick to burn.

The second meeting being in the midst of her welcoming banquet, where he hadn't even looked at her.

And their third meeting, the meeting that sealed their fate as husband and wife forever, took place in the middle of the night within a group of the seven realms most significant individuals. 

He had only begun to consider her as a part of him on their fourth and last meeting, their wedding day.

They had no further interaction and no deeper communication than those exchanged within those four meetings.
