They both woke up when the sun was high. The sound of sea gulls and the sound of waves was the music that welcomed the two people from their slumber.
"Good morning, my Princess." Alaric kissed Aleksis' forehead and then sat on the bed, "Do you want breakfast now?"
Aleksis opened her eyes lazily and nodded. She stared at Alaric for a long time and then frowned, while her hand traced the man's broad and chiseled chest. "Hmm... You used to have a lot of scars around your dragon tattoo on your chest here... now most of the scars are gone..."
"The scars gradually disappear after years," Alaric said. "The scars that you saw were from decades ago, now they are gone..."
"Oh... in that case, will your face also recover in decades?" Aleksis asked curiously.
"Hmm... why? Do you regret having a boyfriend whose face is disfigured?" Alaric asked in a disappointed tone.
