He gazed deeply into Athena’s crimson eyes, his voice barely above a whisper. “On my journey back to Pidence City, I came across a clandestine report. It revealed that Ray had mobilized his forces northward, launching attacks from both flanks alongside the Northcold army. To evade their relentless pursuit, I was forced to feign my own demise and make a detour to Athkar in search of reinforcements p>
Xander paused, the weight of his words hanging in the air like a thick fog, before continuing, “That round trip consumed nearly half a month, which is why I returned later than I had hoped p>
Athena’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she responded, her voice trembling with emotion. “Why didn’t you send me even a single message? Did you know how it felt when I heard about your fall from the cliff? I was ready to follow you into the abyss p>
As she spoke, a surge of frustration propelled her hand forward, aiming to strike Nander. But before her palm could make contact, he deftly grasped her wrist, halting her in mid-motion.
With a gentle twist of her wrist, Xander brought her hand to rest against his heart, his other arm encircling her waist with an intensity that spoke volumes. He held her close, feeling the warmth of her body pressed against him, and noticed the slight tremors that coursed through her.
His own eyes misted with emotion, and he lowered his chin to rest atop her head, his voice thick with raw vulnerability. “As a Prince, I bear the heavy mantle of responsibility for our country and its people. How could I not wish to send a message back to Pidence City? But the truth is, Ray has seized control of every stronghold there. Our hidden allies have either perished or fled, and the slightest misstep could reveal your whereabouts p>
He tightened his embrace, pulling her even closer as if he wished to fuse their very souls together. “I can’t afford to gamble with your safety. As long as you are unharmed, I would willingly endure any suffering, for it would all be worth it p>
Nestled against him, Athena found solace in the rhythmic cadence of his heartbeat, a steady sound that anchored her amidst the turmoil swirling in her mind. It was a soothing balm, calming her fears as if they were storm-tossed waves crashing against a sturdy shore.
Yet, a tide of grievance still surged within her. With a sudden burst of energy, she raised her hand and pounded against his back, but her strikes grew weaker with each passing moment. “You absolute bastard p>
Xander allowed her to vent her frustrations, gently patting her back with his free hand, as if he were comforting a child who had been wronged.
“Alright, enough of the tears,” he said softly, cradling her face in his hands. His thumb brushed away the tears that streaked down her cheeks. “If you keep crying like this, you’ll look just like a little tabby cat p>
Athena shot him a glare, her eyes still rimmed with red, but a reluctant giggle escaped her lips despite the gravity of the situation.
“You are not allowed to do this again,” she sniffled, poking her finger into his chest with a mixture of annoyance and affection. “No matter what happens, you must find a way to communicate with me, even if it’s just a single word p>
Xander nodded earnestly, lowering his head to place a tender kiss on her forehead. “Alright, I promise to heed your words p>
As Xander emerged from the shadows of despair, revived from what felt like the dead, Alexandra’s laughter mingled with her tears, a beautiful symphony of relief and joy.
Meanwhile, the retreat of the Northcold troops was met with jubilant cheers from the citizens of the city, a wave of hope washing over them.
As dawn began to break, a rustling commotion stirred outside the gates of Xander Manor.
The gatekeeper, still caught in the remnants of sleep, yawned widely and opened the side door, only to be taken aback by the sight before him. He stumbled back a half-step in shock.
Before him lay a chaotic scene bathed in the soft morning light—a throng of people had gathered, unloading a mountain of goods under the porch.
Eggs spilled from baskets, rolling haphazardly across the cobblestones, while heaps of cabbage formed a small hillock.
Among the crowd, two plump goats were tethered, their reins tied to the stoic stone lions flanking the entrance.
“What on earth is happening here?” the gatekeeper exclaimed, rubbing his eyes in disbelief. He was about to step forward to intervene when an elderly woman grasped his arm.
Cradling a pottery urn in her embrace, she lifted the lid, releasing a rich aroma of chicken soup that wafted through the air. “This is for Princess Consort. She’s grown so thin during these days of defending the city that a gust of wind could blow her away. She must be nourished properly p>
A peddler, pushing through the throng with two baskets of glistening apples, chimed in, his voice bright with enthusiasm. “These are freshly picked from my orchard! They’re incredibly sweet! Let Xander and the Princess Consort have a taste p>
The gatekeeper watched in growing dismay as the pile of food continued to swell, his anxiety bubbling to the surface. “Everyone, the Prince and Princess Consort are truly grateful for your kindness, but we cannot accept such generous gifts! The manor is already well-stocked p>
In the aftermath of their emotional confrontation, Xander and Athena found themselves enveloped in a cocoon of understanding and shared vulnerability. The weight of their burdens seemed to lighten as they forged a deeper connection, one that transcended the chaos surrounding them.
