Chapter 718 The spring had come
Lilou fell asleep right after their lovemaking session. All she gave Samael was a warning glare with the mischief in his eyes. He behaved, though. He let her sleep in his arms and wiped the sweat from her body. Samael stared at her for an hour or so, smiling and caressing her face from time to time.
"I love you," he whispered, tracing her nose from its bridge to its tip. "Very much."
His eyes softened, unable to take his smile off of his face. He wanted to wake her up just to let her know he loved her more than she could even imagine. However, this time, he wanted to let her rest.
"We'll go home soon, my love." He leaned forward, kissing her forehead. He let his lips on her forehead for a while, sniffing her natural scent hard. "Hang in there."
Samael caressed her spine with the back of his fingers, kissing her head more. After some time, he reluctantly slipped his arm away from under her neck. He held his breath while doing so, afraid she would wake up. Fortunately, she didn't because she was too exhausted from last night and this morning's exercise.
Once he sat on the edge of the bed, Samael fixed the blanket and pulled it up over her shoulders. He smiled, staring at her face for a few minutes. No words could express the joy filling his chest just knowing his wife spent a night with him, screamed his name, and woke up next to her.
It wasn't all about lovemaking, but the simple things that were along with it.
"Rest well, Lilou." He brushed her cheek with his thumb gently before pushing himself out of the bed. Samael directly headed towards the bathroom next to his room, knowing Fabian had already prepared him a warm bath.
"Should I go to my mother's room and see if she's awake?" Law wondered when minutes had gone by and Lilou hadn't arrived in the dining hall to have breakfast.
"I believed she wouldn't join breakfast." Law looked up when Fabian served him a warm cup of milk. "She's being taken care of. Milk for your fangs."
"Is she sick?" asked Law, seeing the usual smile plastered on Fabian's face.
"Because Lady Tilly is too pale and His Grace was too busy last night. He would've decapitated me if I interrupted him."
"Mister Fabian's blood is bitter," Law remarked but had no choice. After all, Law was used to having a drop of Samael's blood or Lilou's in his food and drinks. That was to quench his hunger since they were too young to control their blood thirst. His parents' drops of blood were precious, so a drop from them was enough to practice Law and Sunny's thirst.
Meanwhile, Stefan studied his nephew while the latter still drank his milk. During his time as the king and emperor, he had met newborn vampires that had noble blood in them. Not once in his time had he seen someone crave blood at a young age. If anything, most of them had their fangs around their teen. But then again, now that he thought about it, Claude also had his fangs at a very young age.
"That's... amusing," he murmured, glancing at Tilly. "Is this one of the qualities of the Grimsbanne?"
"Mhm?"
"Having their fangs at a young age?"
"Marsella was born with fangs," Tilly replied without looking back at Stefan.
"Oh..." Stefan rocked his head in understanding, recalling that was the name of Tilly's little sister. He glanced at Law once again and shrugged. For him, the Grimsbannes were truly a different type of vampire. They were unlike pureblooded vampires, and thus, this problem they were in.
Silence slowly filled the dining hall as they enjoyed their breakfast in silence. It was almost peaceful with Tilly barely eating, Law drinking his milk, Rufus eating all the veggies Tilly was passing on his plate, and Fabian pouring them beverages.
But the peace was short-lived when they heard Samael's joyful voice echoing in the dining hall.
"Good morning, everyone!" greeted Samael, catching the attention of everyone around the table. When they looked in his direction, Stefan and Rufus squinted their eyes while Law and Tilly shielded theirs.
Samael was radiating as he strutted his way towards the table.
The only person who wasn't affected by his radiance was Fabian because the latter's eyes were already squinting to begin with.
"The spring had come, I see," Fabian commented, feeling Samael's high energy filling the entire manor.
