Heaven woke up after sleeping so peacefully. How long has it been since she slept so well? She felt so refreshed that it brought a smile to her face.
She was about to turn in bed when she realized that two strong arms were holding her in place and her back was pressed against something hard. Oh, she was sleeping in Zamiel's arms. No wonder she slept so well.
Carefully she lifted his arm so she could turn around without waking him up, but to her surprise she found him awake. Was he awake the whole time she was sleeping?
"Did you sleep well?" He asked.
She nodded. She slept well, and it seemed like her grandfather didn't come to destroy her peace yet. It was kind of him to give her a few hours of peace. Oh, how she wished she could live like this forever.
"Do you want to take a bath?" Zamiel asked.
Heaven looked at him, surprised.
"Hot water will help you relax." He explained.
Well, it wouldn't hurt. "I could use a bath." She smiled.
"Come with me." He said, getting up.
"Is it ready?" She asked.
"Yes." He took her hand and led her to another room.
As soon as she walked into the other room, Heaven could see and feel the steam coming from the wooden tub that was placed in the middle of the room. Zamiel's maid seemed to have prepared new clothes for her and placed on a chair.
"The bath is ready, My Lord." She said, turning to them.
"Thank you. You may leave." He told her.
With a nod, Helen left and closed the door behind her, leaving them alone. Heaven looked at the wooden tub with warm water, then at Zamiel. Was he going to stay here while she bathed?
Not that she was shy anymore, but she thought her body looked awful. Her skin didn't have the same radiance and her hair had lost its shine.
Zamiel went to the bathtub and flicked the water with his fingers. "It is not too hot." He said.
Heaven stood frozen. Was she just supposed to undress now?
Zamiel noticed her hesitance. He sat at the corner of the tub and watched her with a tilted head. Heaven blushed under his scrutiny. "Don't look at me like that." She said.
He chuckled. "How should I look then?"
"Don't look!"
"Alright, Your Highness." He closed his eyes, forcing back a smile. He was teasing her.
Heaven quickly began to open the straps on her dress and let it slide down her shoulders. When it fell to the ground, she stepped away from it and saw her bony feet. She grimaced, feeling ugly.
"Strangely, I can still see with eyes closed." He spoke with a smirk.
Heaven's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up. His eyes were still shut.
"Oh really? What do you see?" She asked.
"A beautiful woman, not yet fully undressed."
How did he know? She was still wearing her undergarment.
"You are still shy." He said.
"The water is getting cold." He said. This chapter is updated by freewebnovel.com
