And again, Magnus dodged her attack.
Lyla missed him again and as she just wanted to land on the ground, she closed her eyes and expected her face to smack the ground hard.
But instead, she didn't feel anything hit her, nor did she smack anything.
Lyla opened her eyes and found herself hanging on the arm of Magnus. He caught her!
I turn to see the warm eyes of Magnus rest upon me and I forever remain thankful that he caught me.
I have been the one attacking him and he have never attacked me for once, even I know that! He pushed me and I stood straight up, my head relying on his chest as I struggled to keep up with my balance.
"My King is good at fighting alright... " I say I look into his eyes.
"I believe that's why you declared war against Losenhela and its King. You already know that we will win the battle" I say and he smiles faintly.
"Good to know that you know, Princess" he whispered and kisses my forehead gently.
"Is there anything you know about fighting that I need to know?" I ask and he simply chuckle. Why do I have to ask the stupid questions around here?
"No. You are good at fighting and targeting, but maybe your standard has a limit when it comes to me"
I glare deeply at him and he smirks faintly. Is he trying to say that I am useless when it comes to fighting around him?
"Maybe"
"Hey, how do you do that? Like, read my thoughts?" I ask and he smile faintly.
"I said it earlier. Your thoughts are my thoughts also" he replied casually and I raise a brow at him as he enhance the smirk a little.
"Try harder, you will get to my level soon" he said and sat on the bench in front of where I am standing.
"Maybe Von can help me get all through the odds and unknowns of the trainings that come up in Rokha" I said.
He frowns and stare at me, I guess wondering why Von is the person I want to teach me when I have him here.
"I will do that. No need to worry about it"
Someone's jealous...
"So about the battle, am I really going with you?" I ask him and his answer came in sharply.
"No"
"Why? I have been to many battles, you know"
"I know. But this one is different. The battle is about you, you should that"
I squint my eyes as he grabs the tip of the bottom of his shirt with both hands.
"What are you doing?" I ask, hoping he's not trying to do what I think he wants to.
His face became a faintly smirking one as he removed his shirt.
Eight abs facing me directly and I can't help but stare. Usually, when I see other people's packs, it brings disgust to me. But his... His is kinda smooth.
"Are you trying to get at me with those?" I ask smiling oddly, and trying to tease him. His white hair covers one of his eyes as he walks upto me.
"Maybe. If that's what you think"
He grabs my hand lightly and pulls me into his embrace. "How about I take you out. On the garden or maybe the deepest forest in Rokha?"
His eyes are tempting me. He squeezes my rib and I just can't refuse but nod like a little child.
"Go get ready then. I'll be waiting for you by the carriage"
Yeeeaah! I will be finally going out with my husband after so many anger and all that! Thank God!
I quickly wear my robe and exit the room, not missing the wink Magnus pass unto me.
He will be flabbergasted when I come out of that dressing room.
Don't worry sweetheart.
Magnus wait for her to leave the room, though not wanting her to leave by staring at how she walks and her every movement.
He walks out of the room with no shirt but wears it when he exit the room, making his men to stare and count the number of abs he have.
"Von, get me details of when the War will be held. I want to keep Lyla safe on that day" he said as he walk off with Von and three of his men.
"Yes your Majesty"
"The Queen will like to sacrifice her life for her people but I won't let that. Make sure there is somewhere safe for her... " He turns to the four men behind him.
"Make sure the place is comfortable and energetic. I need her to get to somewhere more comfortable and safe"
The four men stops walking and just stare at their King as he walks off to his room or the Royal couple chamber.
"She have gotten his heart, the youngest among them, Zhuvo, said.
"I think so. Maybe the King is actually being captured by the Queen."
Von knew what they were talking about but just kept quiet and smiled. All human beings won't understand, he thought.
Magnus strode to their inner chamber staring into the room through the keyhole and searching for Lyla.
He stared at her as she wore a very neat dress and packed her hair in a bun. When she was about to apply some ointment, he withdrew and walked away from their chamber.
He liked what he saw.
And he hopes to see it again.
"I heard you want to marry Madeline. Why didn't you tell me?" Magnus asked as he disengaged Kahn from the discussion he had with one of the soldiers, pulling him out of the presence of the soldier in the hallway.
"Do you fear me to the extent of not telling me when you wanna marry?"
Kahn trembles with fear and started apologizing.
"I am sorry, My King"
Magnus stare at him as he felt anger and his Wolf self arise.
"Out now!" he orders and Kahn did as he was told with no hesitation.
"You piss me off"
