Bab 386: A Little Game

After a brief gathering with the other Commanders and Generals who participated in the war, Orius walked inside the chamber prepared for him.

Much to his surprise, Valerie was there, standing near the window.

She was here?

Why wasn't he informed of this?!

"Valerie," he called out and Valerie quickly turned in his direction.

When she saw him, she hurried to him and hugged him. "Orius."

"What is this? You're here?"

This wasn't a dream, right?

"I arrive in the morning and... I asked Prince Morin to keep a secret," Valerie said with a little smile. "The Prince told the Queen so that she can send you to this chamber." She pulled back and added, "I just wish to surprise you."

With a smile on his face, Orius's cupped his wife's face and kissed her on the lips. Then once again, he embraced her. "I missed you so much and I kept on wondering if you are having a difficult time because of me."
