Seren probably never imagined that she would fall asleep inside the carriage as soon as she closed her eyes. She tried to clear her mind, to avoid thinking about anything in fear that Drayce could hear her thoughts, but that action only made her fall asleep. It must be because of the mental exhaustion she felt thinking she was getting married to a stranger, in addition to the shock she got seeing who the groom was. Not to mention the tedious preparation before the actual ceremony and the celebratory banquet after, there was also the fact that she had not eaten anything since last night's meal.
Drayce stared at his queen in appreciation, the side of his lips lifting into a smile. 'Are you not scared of me? How can you sleep so carelessly like this?'
Though he couldn't see her face, to him, she was fine the way she was. Those scales on her body, though he had seen her without them before, those scales didn't seem ugly to him.
