บท 75: I Don't Want To Leave

Morpheus didn't fail to notice the dangerous gaze thrown in his direction by a certain pair of red eyes, unlike Ember who had no idea what was going on. She was scared stiff by the fact that Morpheus had brought her back to the palace, and her thought process had suddenly stopped. 

The shapeshifter found where the gaze was coming from and smirked at Draven when he found his normally expressionless face in a scowl. As if to tease the King further, Morpheus even deliberately looked at Ember who was being carried in his arms and then back at him. 

She was clinging onto him tightly, burying her face into the crook of his neck and holding on as if she didn't want to step down. 

"Ember, we are here," he said a bit loudly, intentionally addressing her with her name instead of calling her 'little female' as usual. The human girl shook her head in refusal, even tightening her embrace to protest stepping down.
