Her Mother's Homeland

Eve hadn't told Alaric yet about the real identity of her biological mother. Esmeralda was the exiled princess of the Kingdom Zephyra.

"What will you do in Kingdom Zephyra?" Eve found her voice to speak.

Alaric had just finished taking his clothes off as he lifted her. He stepped into the wooden tub, dipping their bodies into the warm water. 

He made her sit on his lap while she leaned her back on his sturdy chest.

"The current ruler of Kingdom Zephyra is greedy for power. He started conquering the nearby kingdoms. He will also target our kingdom. Before it happens, King Solomon and the other generals have agreed to assassinate King Zaraki." Alaric shared the information with her while he began rubbing her body with a scented wash ball.

Eve hastily turned to gaze up at him. "Are you going to infiltrate the castle?"

Alaric nodded in response.
