章節 658: Magic Circle

Inside the silent ice cave, time seemed to crawl slowly.

Drayce told Seren to rest as there was still roughly less than an hour till midnight. He wanted her to remain relaxed as her emotional state would play an important role in her own safety. 

Seren tried to sleep, but at most, she could only close her eyes with her head resting against his chest. With his arms wrapped around her, the tense muscles on her shoulders loosened. His warm concern seemed to seep through their clothes, allowing her to put her anxiety at bay. 

She was nervous about what was to come, a mix of frustration and fear brewing inside her. However, listening to her husband's steady heartbeats somehow kept all those negative emotions at bay.

Seren had never thought waiting could be this agonizing.

Nothing had truly started, yet she was growing more physically and mentally tired with each passing second.
