68. Cold-blooded Man

Cassius woke up and blinked his eyes.

He felt his hands were embracing something, and with heavy eyes, he looked down to find Ellie soundly asleep in his arms.

Cassius was startled and sat up, furrowing his brow as he gazed at the woman sleeping naked beside him.

Although he had slept in Ellie's room several times and had been married for over a month, this was the first time he had slept without experiencing a nightmare.

Every time he slept with Ellie by his side, he always waited until she fell asleep, then he would wake up to leave her.

He couldn't sleep elsewhere or with anyone, especially not with his wife because he would always wake up in cold sweat from his nightmares.

People always regarded him as a hero for successfully driving away the Lumireans who constantly tried to breach their borders.

In the eyes of nobles and knights, he was a man who was strong both mentally and physically.

However, the reality was different.
