“Go ahead if you have a death wish,” he vocalized, making Seraphine pout.
“Why are you being mean again?” Seraphine groaned. A frown appeared on her face while she folded her arms on her chest. While actions spoke louder than words, it still bothered Seraphine how Kayden rarely talked to her sweetly.
She added, “Sometimes I feel as if you’re my guardian, rather than my lover.”
Staring at her deadpan, he commented, “That’s what I believed my role to be.”
Sticking her tongue out at his words, she enunciated, “Then, you better keep your distance with me. Your actions would be deemed inappropriate for a guardian.”
“Oh?” He raised an eyebrow.
The way he managed to appear handsome effortlessly bothered Seraphine by a large extent, and thinking about the long line of rivals she has to deal with, it made her feel annoyed. Surely, Kayden’s beauty and magnificenc
The bitterness did not go unnoticed by the older man who subtly smiled at that and smoothly responded, “Are you that desperate to get married to me?”This caused Seraphine’s eyes to widen, and her cheeks heated up. It was common for couple to get married here as long as they love each other. There was no long dating period usually, but Seraphine did take herself to be a little too young to be thinking in that direction.“Me? Why would I want to get married to you?” Seraphine scoffed.He laughed and teased, “It’s nothing to be shy about. If you want to, I will agree along.”Sticking her tongue at the man, she expressed, “Says the man who is too much of a coward to kiss me.”However, before she was able to celebrate her victory with those words, she realized that those orbs of the man in front of her darkened, and a dangerous glint appeared in them, alerting her. She gulped, understanding th
But before Seraphine was able to continue with her words, the back of her neck was grabbed by Kayden, and she was pulled forward. Her eyes widened when Kayden placed his lips on top of hers, pulling her into an intense kiss. Seeing how he was provoked made her pleasantly surprised.Although Kayden had grown to become physically weaker, that had no effect on his passion, and tears clouded her vision while she began to feel suffocated. Her heart was hammering inside her chest, and losing her focus, she let herself sinking the addicting kiss.Seraphine had no idea on how long they had been making out for. Only when the carriage had finally landed after the long ride was she able to snap back to the surroundings and looked at Kayden with flushed cheeks only to receive another attack when the man ran his tongue upon his lips. The sinful thoughts clouded her mind, and she felt hardly satisfied.Pulling her shirt in order to ward off the heat, Seraphine spared the a ma
“It’s fine. I am not a child,” Seraphine stated, “I can make do with fewer hours of sleep for a day. This is more important.”With that, she removed her hand from Kayden’s grip, and that’s when, a yawn escaped from the stall owner’s lips. All the stalls nearby were closing down, and everyone was ready to leave for home. The stall owner shared the same sentiments as them as well.“Young Lady, how about this? I will be here tomorrow as well,” he enunciated, “why don’t you come to try then?”Pursing her lips into a thin line, it appeared that Yurie was contemplating on the matter before she expressed, “No can do. How do I trust you? What if you are not present here tomorrow? Moreover, I have more on my agenda, and I don’t think I would be able to rest well without winning those cute flying stuffed toys. But don’t worry! I will win it this time!”A bright smi
On the next day, the two of them set for the valley of emerald lilies. The sight was extremely beautiful. The red lilies were spread throughout the place, and they had green emerald gems dotting their petals. A shiny red gem sat at the center.A exotic yet refreshing scent wafted off of them, pleasing Seraphine to a great extent. Captivated by the beauty the scene had to provide her with, Seraphine found it to be a pity that s photograph can not be taken.Mind blown, Seraphine ran her hand through her long hair. Then, her eyes widened when she noticed the array of colorful butterflies scattered around the lilies. The wings of the butterflies were illuminated, and when the night-time appeared, the sight was way more pretty.Seraphine and Kayden spent the entire day here today, having snacks and roaming around the surroundings. The scene was too ethereal, and there were too many attractions for them to get bored.A sparkling blue stream flowed at the side o
“Ten days,” he enunciated, “I will come to you again after ten days, and let me know about your decision then.”With that, Elliot disappeared into the thin air, leaving Seraphine and Kayden in the room. There were many questions arising in her hand that she wanted to ask Kayden, but decided that it would be for the best if she let them be for now.“You still do not have to do it,” Kayden pointed out.Seraphine chuckled and replied, “We both know how that is not an option.”Even so, Kayden didn’t appear to be in agreement with her choice, and this caused her to extend her hand forward, placing it on his shoulder. Patting on the surface, she vocalized, “Even I am rejecting it completely from inside, but this has to be done. I want both of us to get a happy ending this time.”Thinking of all the tragedies that passed through their lives, Kayden wasn’t exactly optimistic, but even
The two of them decided to travel to the Capital. Seraphine did feel North limited their vision by a large extent and wanted to check out the Royal Library for more information. The archives there held a wider range of content, and it was said all the books and records— long lost or not— was present in the Royal Library.However, other than the King and those selected by him, no one was allowed to enter the sacred place. As much as she craved to enter the place, she wasn’t fond of asking Alexander for help. The thought of encountering him made her feel nauseated now that she was aware of deeper section of the past, and it didn’t please her to learn that he killed Kayden in her last life.Honestly, Seraphine did wonder how it would feel for Kayden to face the man who put an end to his life with both having the memories of their past life. If it was her, she would’ve wanted to run away from the situation. Even now, she didn’t know what
Reading about their personalities made Seraphine fall into a deep thought. They were highly intelligent creatures, way more than humans, and possessive of what they considered to belong to them. Because of their arrogant nature, they thought everything they laid their eyes on to be there and wouldn’t give up on anything to attain it. When they want something, they had to have it.Reading about this aspect of their characteristics caused chills to travel down Seraphine’s back. She read through how twisted they could be and confirmed it more that Aeryes didn’t have a stable mental state.The next content in the new book she had gotten caught her attention. It was related another power that Aeryes was presumed to have. However, therefore was nothing to fully confirm the validity of this. It had something to do with dimensions.But just as she was about to get into that section, her chest clenched painfully, and the familiar feeling of suppression
Closing her eyes, Seraphine tried to gather herself. No matter how many times she had repeated to herself that she can’t collapse, the intensity wasn’t one she could fight against, and this was starting to break her down along with the frustration.She hated how she was weak every time in her presence, and this led to Seraphine acting recklessly. Not caring about the pressure weighing down on her body or how nauseated she felt while standing up, she did so. Her head spun while she raised the book close to her.Without thinking twice, she targeted the book towards the girl standing in front of her with all the strength she could muster. Of course, she knew that it would be unsuccessful, but even so, she hated being this helpless. Instead of this being physical, Seraphine was aware the weakness was mental, and because of this, slowly she was able to stabilize herself.The book was caught by ‘Seraphine’.At this, Seraphine spat, &ldqu
