In Loriel's opinion, Elise had always been beautiful. Even after fifteen centuries passed, he had never met anyone who could even come close to her level.
Well, call him biased but, to him, she was the most beautiful woman in the world. However, Elise was even more beautiful when she was carrying another life inside her, the life that they made together.
That was why she looked so glowing when Loriel returned from the battlefield and saw her greet him by the palace entrance.
As soon as his eyes caught sight of her, Loriel was in awe and he halted his steps. Elise thought he was sick or wounded in the battle because he suddenly stopped moving.
She hurriedly came and touched his arm. "Are you okay?"
Loriel batted his eyes and he was immediately moved from his trance.
This woman... was so alluring. When she came so close to him, he could smell her sweet intoxicating scent.
