Chương 49: 49. Married But Not A Couple

Jael walked up the stairs with a grim expression, he was tired of the gathering and had to leave the dining hall. They were still partying, and he knew it would go on until after sunrise.

Jael stopped in front of her door, wondering if he should knock before he stepped in but he decided against it just in case she was asleep. He carefully turned the handle, making sure it didn't make a sound as he walked into the room.

Jael soundlessly locked the door and approached the windows, closing them with the curtains. The sun was rising, in a couple of minutes, he wouldn't have been able to do that without incident.

He walked toward the bed, Mauve laid on it with her eyes closed and her mouth partly opened. Her hair was in disarray and a couple strands of hair had found their way to her mouth.
