"Your Majesty, the reports—"
Eleanora's words halted abruptly, her jewel-blue pupils dilating at the vision before her.
Bathed in sunlight by the window next to his work table, Cathain's black hair fluttered with the passing breeze, compelling her to approach him, a mix of awe and surprise etched on her face.
'So handsome,'
A smile graced her face as she leaned down slightly to get a closer look at him, resisting the impulse to touch the bridge of his nose, his lengthy eyelashes, and...
'His lips.'
Eleanora swallowed nervously, her eyes lingering on his thin lips, suddenly remembering the kisses they shared last night.
She had come to deliver the reports, but upon seeing him sleep so peacefully, Eleanora chose not to disturb him, allowing him to rest, as he must have been quite exhausted to have fallen asleep in such a manner.
