Breaking of the dawn, the doctors had finally finished treating Raeliana. Outside, Noah had fallen asleep. His eyes were red and puffy from crying all night. Due to crying, he felt exhausted and eventually fell asleep. The doctors came outside to disclose the operation's success. Raeliana was finally away from the verge of death. She was currently resting at a room that was specially requested by the king. Along with the royal guards inside, the king concocted the rewards he will bestow to Raeliana. Extremely grateful of the sight of Raeliana, he gripped her hands and whispered his gratitude. "Thank you for saving my life."
Noah bolted to Raeliana's quarters after he woke up. Reposed in a bed, she was sleeping soundly. His misty eyes fell on her, painfully staring at Raeliana. He was still mulling over his inability to save lives. He made a little step towards her and burn the image in his mind. Surely next time, he will take more precautions. He will definitely save her. He will be always at her side so no one could ever harm her.
His king brother was there at the moment, watching his younger brother to display his emotions openly. He had given him a time alone with her, and left the quarters. Noah was seated next to the bed and gazing her face details. Her long eyelashes were sodden with tears from yesterday. Crystal droplets were formed, glittering under the soft light. His hands unconsciously reached her cheeks and laid his hands above. "I'm sorry to let you go through this alone, Raeliana."
Her hair was disheveled and was scrawled on the bed. She was still radiant as ever, but Noah prefers to see her emerald eyes in glistening joy. Her lips were perched and uneven. He buried his eyes deep on hers, as he was unable to take off his glance. He leaned closer, and a sudden magical moment happened. He landed a soft kiss that quenched the drought on her lips. He pressed his eyes and feel the surges rose beneath from his heart. A cold hearted and two faced duke was able to display such emotions. The passion that he has never felt before was right before his eyes. Noah was a little disappointed to steal her first kiss without her knowing. But the next time he got a moment with Raeliana, he will definitely giving her more intense and passionate kiss.
