Chapter XXXVII: A New Day, A New Chance
The next day was even worse than the previous one. After my little joke about the regency of the king's mother, Gabriel pounced on me even harder than before. Honestly, I think it's a miracle that I'm still alive. Still, I think I'll miss these moments once I leave for the Vatican for some appointment or another.
"Antonio, are you awake?" Gabriel asked me, barely awake himself.
"Y-Yes... I almost couldn't wake up because of you. Who would have thought that my bad jokes could lead to such physical suffering?"
"Oh, come on. You didn't have to belittle me that much. Plus, last night was my birthday, and I needed a special gift, don't you think?"
"Alright... Anyway, I think the Princess of Serbia is happier than ever after that kiss, don't you think?"
"I'm amazed that such a hero could be so jealous of me. Speaking of jealousy, I think Marcus would go crazy if he knew what we did," Gabriel said with a strange smile on his face.
