Max slept extremely well that night, Elly's presence only adding to the comfort as he felt her inoffensive and trusting aura beside him.
He slept like a log, better than in any of the previous two weeks, and this made him wonder if that is why married couples sleep beside each other. Because this is extremely relaxing.
The next morning he woke up refreshed, all the exhaustion in his body disappearing.
And as he looked to his right, he could see Elly's cute face, still slowly breathing in and out, showing that she was still sleeping, he couldn't stop himself from touching her black hair and her greenish face, she was truly a beauty, surprising she came from a goblin's seed, her mother must have truly been beautiful.
But of course, Max wasn't the first in the room to wake up: his mighty soldier had already beat him, as hard as a rock and everlasting.
