You speak nonsense!

Her face was screaming, saying that 'you both are so stupid. I am so done with you both,'

Zaros wanted to palm his face. The anger she showed earlier which was replaced with something peculiar emotion caught him. He doesn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

Wait… does that mean he won't get hugs?

She has big boobs. Her hugs were so comforting. Damn!

He wanted to cry without tears. This was so cruel. He looked at her with a pitiful expression that made Adira's expression contort into something else.

"You can sulk by yourself. I am leaving now. I have things to attend to," she said before getting up from bed.

"Wifey, I am in so much pain. Please stay with me," he begged her with his watery and hopeful eyes as he looked at her.

Adira was not buying his act anymore.

"I will go in front of Mother Serene and show this to her. Then you can imagine what will happen," he threatened.

"This threat made me want to leave these chambers more!" she said with her narrowed eyes.

"Wifey, I only have you. I don't want anyone to find this out. Help me. Stay with me. You can't leave your sick husband on his deathbed, just like that. Have some mercy on my poor soul. Please," he begged shamelessly as he cried for her attention desperately.

"You are dramatic?!" she almost yelled.

"Thanks for the compliment," he said with a sheepish yet shy smile that made her feel cringe for a minute.

"You are so shameless!" she said with her widened eyes.

"I have to do everything in my power to get my wife's attention~~," he said coyly.

[why the hell is he acting like an obsessed puppy!?] Adira thought.

Can't deny that he was cute. But he has to hold on. Her poor heart couldn't take a lot at a time.

"Please stay," he said or begged.

"Promise me, you won't get into fights with my brother," she said seriously looking into his eyes.

"Only if you stay with me," he tried to make a deal with his wife.

"I am married to you. It's given that I am stuck with you for a lifetime," she said.

"Stay with me all the time, till we leave for Vampira," he said with puppy eyes trying to get her into his pocket.

Adira looked at his eyes with her narrowed gaze. She doesn't know how to deny him.

"Fine! You have to be within your limits then," she warned him.

He nodded vehemently at her. In a second, he pulled her into his embrace and hugged her as he slept making her soft squishy boobies as his pillows.

Adira: "..."

With a sigh, she let him do whatever he wished to. Slowly without her knowledge, even she slipped into a slumber.

On the other hand…

Maximus sent Zaros away to tell a few things about Victoria to Lenora.

"Since, he left with a wound which can be fatal to him. I think we shall wrap up the things soon and give him the antidote," Lenora glared at him.

"If you care about him. Say it out. Don't keep it in your head alone," he said with a smirk.

"You speak nonsense," she said averting her gaze.

"As you say," he said.

"You wanted to say something earlier," she asked.

"I and your sister have something in the history," he said.

Lenora looked at him with raised brows.

"I am listening," she said.

--------------------

After few hours...

Some one came to Zaros's chambers and gave the antidote.

"Finally, I can sleep," Adira said, yawning.

"Can you hug me, wifey?" Zaros asked with his big, watery eyes looking at her with innocence dripping his eyes.

He wants to feel her boobs, her soft body and most importantly, he wants to be closer to her. For that, Zaros would do anything to take advantage of it!

"I am busy and tired, Zaros. I have been working all day for tomorrow's coronation, and now I lost my sleep because of your poison. Tomorrow, again I have to wake up and take care of the coronation, and entertain the people. I want to sleep," she said seriously. Indeed what she said was true. She was really tired. She just want to have a good night sleep for tonight as tomorrow will be a hectic day. A coronation is not something small. It's a big event. It needs many people coordination and their support.

All the playfullness, and his flirty mood flew away just like that. Lika a poof! He knew she was really busy with the preparations. But why was he sulking for his wife's attention like this? ufff!!! he was addicted!

Adira was helping and giving a hand to everyone in the coronation preparations. And on top of that, this coronation was something she was looking forward to.

After the mating ceremony, she let her maids spread a good word about Lenora in the palace and in the kingdom secretly. After all, Lenora was the only foreign person in this kingdom. No matter what she does, she will still be treated as a stranger. Even though what Adira did was not great. But she was trying her best to let Lenora have the easiest life she could before she left this kingdom.

And along with that, she was tagging along with their mother, Serene and Eudora. Both Eudora and Serene were known as iron women in their own kingdoms. Now, they both together, everyone was so intimidated. Because of Adira, the workers and everyone were taking a relieved sigh. She has been the bridge between many things, and also handling the tasks she was given with. In fact, Adira was the most busiest person in the kingdom.

Even the king, Maximus was not as worried as Adira about the coronation ceremony.

"Sleep, My Love. I will light up the incense for you. This will help you to slip into deep sleep and you will be energized tomorrow," he said leaning forward and kissing her forehead. Even though every cell in his body is aching, in front of his wife nothing matters to him.

Seeing Zaros wincing and walking only to get incense for him, Adira felt touched. Zaros lit the incense and helped her sleep while he slipped into the slumber.
