Olive got into his study once again, tired from the day, which was spent doing some physical and mental training. He picked up some of the reports that were brought to him, from the ongoing war.
Disappointedly, he flung them away,
'Why is everyone so darn useless?' He fumed as he got up from his chair, and then his mind drifted off to how messed up his relationship with Khalilah was becoming. At first, he hoped he could hide the fact that he wasn't human until after their marriage because she would be unwilling to marry him even more.
His guess was right, she couldn't decide if she wanted to proceed or not, and even though she was scared of him now, she was still so goddamned stubborn, she would be easier to convince when she hadn't found out his true identity. Especially after he almost killed her, he knew it would be close to impossible to get her to cooperate with him. He thought she would die but she barely survived by luck.
