He smirked again and whispered in his deeply seductive voice, “I like my name even more ever since I started hearing it from your beautiful lips. And I like it even further when you say it in that hushed tone.” Anastasia had no idea what Caspian was hinting at yet.

Brewing Conflict

“Why don’t you go ahead and have your dinner?” Caspian stood at the entrance of the central wing and asked his wife instead of walking along with her and following her to the bedchamber.

A subtle frown line appeared on Anastasia’s forehead. She looked at her husband and asked, “You haven’t finished your work?”

Caspian gently smiled and caressed his wife’s cheek when he saw her getting sad. So, he clarified, “I need to talk with Zenon for a bit. I will be there with you after freshening up.”

“Alright.” Anastasia also smiled back and nodded her head. “I will see you in a bit.”

She then headed towards her chamber while being followed by her two personal guards.

Caspian, on the other hand, headed towards his workroom.

As soon as he stepped inside, he ordered one of his attending guards to call for Zenon.

Zenon hadn’t returned home yet. He was still working on some of the cases that the King had handed over to him earlier.
