A soft laugh escaped Gavriel, low and controlled, though every instinct in him stirred at the invitation in her voice. He stepped closer, close enough to feel her warmth, close enough to notice the faint scent of wine and snow clinging to her hair.

“Careful what you ask for,” he murmured.

She smiled, slow and sleepy, trusting. “Help me change. Then we sleep.”

Sleep.

The word should have steadied him. Instead, it tightened something deep in his chest.

He reached for her hands, fingers closing ge

    Time flew by, and so many things had changed in Althea's life. She was no longer just the Queen of the kingdom. She had also become the proud mother of two beautiful fraternal twins—a boy and a girl.They named their son Gavin and their daughter Avril.A warm smile spread across Althea's face as she watched her one-and-a-half-year-old twins toddle eagerly across the courtyard toward their father, who had just returned from the royal court.“Papa!”The twins called out in unison the moment they spotted Gavriel. Their tiny legs hurried as fast as they could across the neatly trimmed grass, their little bodies swaying adorably with each step.“Slow down! Just walk carefully!” Althea called after them.As expected, neither of them listened.Instead of stopping them, Gavriel came to a halt a few steps away. He bent down and opened his arms wide, a proud smile appearing on his usually stoic face.“That’s right,” he encouraged warmly. “Come to Papa.”The twins squealed with delight and hurr

    Months passed, and Althea kept herself busy with her duties in the inner court throughout her pregnancy. Despite that, Gavriel remained extremely strict about her safety and refused to allow her to leave the palace grounds without him accompanying her.By the time she reached her ninth month, he had become even more protective.Althea was practically forbidden from leaving the palace altogether.Still, she didn't mind too much. With how large her belly had become, she had no desire to wander far anyway.It might not look like it since she could still walk around and carry out some of her daily activities, but carrying twins was no easy task. Her stomach had grown so large and heavy that she was already using a suppo

    Gavriel carefully lowered Althea onto her feet before moving behind her. She felt his fingers loosen the blindfold and a second later, the fabric slipped away from her eyes.The moment her vision cleared, Althea froze.Before her stretched a beautiful garden filled with rows upon rows of strawberry plants. Their vibrant red fruits peeked through the green leaves, glistening under the afternoon sunlight. The sweet fragrance instantly filled the air. Her lips parted as she slowly took a step forward.Not far away stood a small white gazebo surrounded by blooming flowers. It looked almost magical amidst the sea of strawberry plants. Althea's eyes immediately welled with tears.For a moment, she simply stood there, overwhelmed."Gavriel..." she whispered.Gavriel, who had been watching her reaction closely, suddenly looked nervous.“Do you not like it?” he asked, suddenly feeling uncertain.It was the first time he had ever done something like this.He had personally overseen the transf

    Riela’s recovery went smoothly, and as soon as she was well enough, Gavriel asked Prophet Elior to explain everything that had happened to her.Today, Althea visited Riela for tea on the palace balcony on the palace’s second floor that faced the forest on the west side. One of the reasons she had come was because she still occasionally noticed foul spirits lingering outside Riela’s bedchamber. Fortunately, none of them could get near her anymore because Riela had been assigned a guardian angel of her own.“How are you feeling?” Althea asked.Riela had remained weak for three days after waking up. During that time, Lord Arturo had barely left her side, personally taking care of her.“I’m feeling much better now. It’s just that…” Riela hesitated as her gaze drifted toward the far side of the balcony.Althea followed her line of sight and immediately frowned.Standing in that exact spot was the guardian angel who had been watching over Riela.‘Could it be that she can see him?’ Althea w

    Arturo never left Riela’s side.He personally took care of her and would often fall asleep while sitting beside her bed, his head resting against the mattress as he kept watch over her.The Queen Mother let out a soft sigh before quietly leaving the room and gently closing the door behind her.“If you want, I can talk to him,” Marius offered. He had been waiting outside for Wilma, leaning against the wall.Wilma gave him a faint smile and shook her head.“Let him be. He’s just worried.” Her gaze softened. “And honestly, I appreciate it. It’s comforting to see someone so devoted and sincere toward my daughter.”She paused before continuing,“Riela has been through so much. But I’m glad things are finally going to be alright for her. She has someone whose feelings for her are genuine. I can only hope and pray that she wakes up soon.”Marius sighed before stepping closer and draping an arm around her shoulders.The moment he did, Wilma finally let go of the emotions she had been holding

    Everyone panicked when a servant suddenly arrived and reported that the King had collapsed unconscious.Althea had no choice but to explain everything to them.“What are you saying?” the Queen Mother exclaimed in disbelief. “We already lost our wolves, and now you’re telling us there’s a spiritual realm invisible to our eyes? That my son has been fighting demons there? And Riela just underwent a deliverance where a demon was cast out of her?”She paused before adding, “And the admiral was knocked unconscious so he wouldn’t interfere?”The Queen Mother had practically summarized Althea’s entire explanation herself.“I know this is a lot to take in,” Althea said gently. “But rest assured, Lord Arturo will wake up soon.”“And what about your sister-in-law?” the Queen Mother pressed further.Althea failed to answer immediately.Because she knew very well that Riela would not wake up anytime soon.“It may take some time, Mother…” Althea answered softly. “It depends on Riela herself…”“What

    The journey continued, but this time, Althea rode with Gavriel on his horse all day. She sat in front of him, tense and uncomfortable, while his strong arms stayed wrapped around her. His hold was firm, almost too firm, and she could feel the warmth of his body through her back.Every time the hors

    Althea gazed at the walls, sitting slumped in front of her vanity table mirror.“I want to go out,” she muttered with a deep sigh. Although being locked inside a comfortable bedchamber was still better than being thrown into a dungeon. Luna Meena used to lock her there whenever her father wasn’t ar

    Gavriel’s hand gripped the back of her neck while the other anchored her waist, pulling her tightly against him as if afraid she might vanish.Althea’s hands came up, pressed against his chest, not to push him away, but to steady herself. He kissed her like he needed to remind her who she belonged

    Althea had a deep, relaxing sleep during the night and woke up feeling very rejuvenated. Melva was already inside when she sat on the bed and stretched her arms.“You’re finally awake, My Lady,” Melva said as she arranged a meal for her.“Are we not going to continue the journey?” she asked, rising
