Chapter 81 - Asahd! (18+)

***

Writer's POV:

Saïda's heart was beating even faster by the time she got to the Prince's door. The rain outside was literally roaring and its noise was great. The halls and corridors, unlike the rooms, were cold and so Saïda already had goosebumps covering her skin from the cold. She rubbed her arms through the long sleeves of her nightgown and then, knocked gently at his door. When she didn't get a reply, she realised that the heavy rain outside had covered the sound of her knock and so she decided to knock a second time, a little louder.

Asahd had just finished lighting the last sweet-smelling candle in his room. He'd lighted thirty all together which gave him the necessary, yet warm, dim light. The fat candles were perfumed and his room smelled of roses and sweets.

"Finally." he muttered and then, he heard a knock and froze. "Who's knocking at this time?"
