Bocahr Settlement: The Journey (19)

Zekhyr took his time making his way to the guest room he had mentioned. 

He wanted to hold Zarya in his arms for a while more since there would be less opportunities for them to be together in the future. Zekhyr was the leader of a group that was actively terrorizing the Empire. 

It wouldn't be strange if they were barraged with cannons all of a sudden. 

The man had to do something to prevent something like that from happening, especially when Zarya was already with him. 

Zekhyr caressed Zarya's back, his steps soft in order to not disturb her in any way possible. 

Thankfully, that part of the mansion wasn't accessible to anyone aside from the servants assigned to clean it. And the clean up for the day had been accomplished before the sun could even rise. 

The corridors weren't exactly bright despite the towering windows along one side. A forest filled with trees taller than the mansion prevented sunlight from entering that area.
