Chapter 1898 Necessary Adjustments (Part 2)

'That woman is weak, but her family is very dangerous.' Night said, glad that Orpal had picked the easiest target again.

He needed a confidence boost and the Horseman could help him. Jirni was just a human, she wasn't a Verhen nor did she live in Lutia.

"Agreed. We need a solid plan, like usual." Orpal nodded. "Jirni Ernas is the reason I failed getting back in my mother's grace. She treated me like garbage and protected that Yehval wench from my subordinates.

"She's the one who's fighting for Leech in the Court. Once she's dead, he'll never return to the Kingdom and what he owns will finally belong to me."

Meanwhile, back to the beach.

The second day of the honeymoon went by like the first. Lith taught Kamila how to swim, then they would spend the time during lunch catching up on the lost time. The couple would get back home for the afternoon nap and return to the beach later.

On the third day, they started to feel bored of that routine so they went to Yrma for dinner. The city was a lovely place, its buildings made of red bricks that shone under the sunset, making Yrma look as if the sun had set it ablaze.

That and the ocean made the landscape magical.

As Salaark had promised, once they had shown her insignia, the people of Yrma had treated them like Royals and had been caring hosts. The food was great as well and Lith was happy not having to cook for once.

They spent the night in a hotel built on a hill from where they could watch the sleeping city from above. When the moon set, its light and that reflecting on the ocean painted the city silver.

"Your Grandma sure picked for us a romantic place." Kamila enjoyed the cold air of the Desert's nights because it allowed them to embrace each other without sweating bullets like it happened during the day.

"Yep. We must definitely spend a bit of time here and visit more than the restaurants." He chuckled.

The following day, Lith received a pleasant surprise. Kamila had woken up before him and had prepared breakfast for both of them, serving it in bed. No one else in the Desert knew his recipe for the pancakes or the hot chocolate cream she had covered them with.

"I asked permission to use the kitchen for a while and they reluctantly agreed. The chef looked at me like I was trying to kill her baby." She chuckled. "Yet she didn't dare defy Salaark's seal."

"Let me guess, her attitude changed when she saw the result of your work." Lith said.

"She wanted the recipe but I sent her off. No one steals my husband's secrets." She arranged the trays and their holders for both of them before joining him back in the bed.

"To what do I owe this delicious surprise?" Lith took a bite and the taste was as good as if he had prepared the pancakes himself.

"No reason. I just wanted to be the one to pamper you for once." She replied while enjoying the fruits of her work. "Also, I thought we could use something sweet before facing a bitter topic."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"Lith, I noticed how you reacted when Selia mentioned your father and Solus." She put down her cutlery, taking his face in her hands and forcing him to look at her.

"I don't care how many times I'll have to repeat that I love you to make it sink into that thick skull of yours, I'll continue until you start behaving like they are more than just sweet words.

"I love you, Lith Verhen, with all my heart. When something troubles you, you don't hide it from me. You don't lie about it to me. You tell me and let me share it with you. Whatever happens to you happens to me.
