章 60: Niran

At Valcrez Kingdom

"They will be arriving tomorrow evening," Raul hummed as he sipped on the cup of blood Niran had served him. He then stood up to follow her, hugging her from behind as he added, "Are you excited, my darling? I just need Nikolai's approval, then we can perform the Coupling Rite soon."

"Milord, please control yourself. It would be improper for me to get tainted without following the right process in your kingdom first," Niran reminded the man who was now currently kissing her shoulder blades. 

"As I said, it's a dream come true for me to have a proper name for myself because I grew up without a family, but we can't rush things. I want a home and a legal family I can call my own, but I won't throw it away for just a momentary experience with pleasure."
