章 597: The Crown of the Blade Empress

Nie Xiwang jolted, opening her eyes with surprise, part of a dimly illuminated room coming into her view along with a part of a man's robes.

She did not notice when her consciousness trailed off.

But the first thing she realized with the dizzy and disoriented mind was that she felt incredibly comfortable, the second being that she was still cuddled in his embrace. 

Her eyes went up to meet a soft, gentle gaze and she melted at that sight.

"Sorry... I... it must have been uncomfortable..." she murmured as he smiled, shaking his head.

"Hahaha, how can I be uncomfortable with such a beauty in my arms?", he chuckled, as he truly carefully took a more comfortable pose while she slept, leisurely half-sitting half-laying on the throne, feeling quite happy about the circumstances.

Her cheeks lightly flushed as she reluctantly left his embrace, and then stood up from the throne.
