Chương 75: The King's shadow

I caress my husband's forehead and remove the locks that might annoy him. His face is so calm while sleeping. At least, it's not difficult to sit still if I observe him from this close.

«Oh, my,» I sigh. «Why have things to be so complicated?»

Can I really make it a fault for not telling me the truth? I also am hiding my identity. I should be more understanding...

I should stop staring now. It makes me wish to forget everything that happened and focus on the future! How can someone be this handsome, for goodness?

A couple of steps, intentionally louder than usual, make me realise we're not alone. Tobin appears from the entrance to the central part, and he walks to us a step at a time.

His duty is to protect his King, so he came looking for us when we didn't come back for a while. Oh, what if he thinks I'm trying to make Ignis catch a cold, sleeping on the marble?
