Cain left the room, muttering something under his breath about the royal house and marriage. The way Lord Lazarus had asked him to leave the palace was too humiliating. If he weren't the heir to the throne, Cain would have never listened to him, rather he would have killed him on the spot. He was going to leave the palace by the evening or as soon as Naomi woke up.
As soon as Cain left, Lazarus burst into laughter. He was suppressing it ever since Cain had come with the deed paper. And when he laughed, Emma and Olya looked at him with wonder. Lord Lazarus was capable of laughing like that? It was a wonderful sight.
Lazarus grabbed his stomach as he laughed and came to sit next to Emma. "That vampire looked like a mouse!" he said in between his laughter.
And Emma continued to watch her mate with just a broad smile. He looked so… beautiful. So carefree. So relaxed.
