Chương 248: Enlightenment [Bonus]

"Hey, what are you doing?" Klaus shouted, noticing Queenie glaring at him for the past ten minutes.

"Tell me the rest of the tale," she demanded.

"No can do. I have to save some, or I'll run out of stories to tell," Klaus replied with a teasing smile, still working on modeling the Monastery. "We've got a whole month to ourselves, and I intend to spend every single day of it with you."

"Why?" Queenie asked, genuinely puzzled.

"How else am I going to find my way inside that heart of yours?" Klaus joked, his smile widening.

"Then tell me the rest of it," Queenie insisted again.

"Nope," Klaus said, shaking his head, fully aware that a single swing of her hand could end him. Still, he continued to tease her, knowing she wouldn't really hurt him. 

Queenie wasn't unreasonable. Yet, for Klaus to be teasing her this much—the leader of the strongest people on Earth—that was bold. Too bold, even.
