391 I Expect More My Lady

Unknown to her, a sudden warmth spread within the young man's body the moment she leaned close to him, causing him to wake up. Even before Prince Theron opened his eyes, the familiar lips pressed against his gave away the fact that his beloved was by his side, the very woman who he had in his mind the entire time he had been away in war. For a moment, he thought it was a dream, but when he realized the warmth of those lips felt too real, he opened his eyes, wanting to see her face. 

'Esther…'

Prince Theron stared at her in a daze, mesmerized by the beauty of her eyes as he tried to focus his blurry gaze.

"Your Highness?" the young lady said in surprise. She didn't expect him to wake up at this moment, and as she recalled what she had just done, embarrassment flooded her senses.
