Chapter Eighty one: Calm in the midst of chaos

Chapter Eighty one: Calm in the midst of chaos.

"Here is so peaceful. Do we have to go back?" Jamie inquired from him. 

She had no idea when she went from sobbing to lying on Alexander's chest on the river banks. He had pulled out a blanket from the small bag on the horse and laid it on the floor. And they have been lying there for quite some time now.

Just lying there with only the sound of the splashing river as music, Jamie wanted to stay there for as long as humanly possible. Here he wasn't the king and she wasn't his kidnapped bride. They were just Alexander and Jamie.

Alexander agreed with her. The river bank was peaceful but they do have to go back. He had a kingdom to govern and people to punish.

"We can stay a while, Monisha. We are not in a hurry"

Jamie stared at the sun lazily. She had to dim her eyes as rays of sunlight went directly to her green eyes and bounced off. She closed her eyes and snuggled closer to Alexander.
