Chapter 214 : a magic called science

"Are you sure you're alright?" Renly asked the nosferatu woman who was struggling to sit up in her bed.

"I'm fine," Theodora murmured in a tired voice. Using her magic to free Damien had drained her and weakened her, so much so that she had been bed ridden for almost a week now.

The woman's arms shivered a little and Renly moved to her side and helped her to maintain her balance. "You're still weak, you shouldn't push yourself or you may reopen old wounds." He slipped into the furs and cradled her against his chest. 

Theodora felt a little embarrassed being held like this, Renly was the first man to ever show her any form of care and concern, and it made her face flush. She appreciated him a lot even though all of this was new to him as well. She cuddled up against him and clutched his clothes tightly. "Thank you.." Theodora mumbled.
