Yes and No

At Alaric's Old House…

"Finally, I can be with you alone." Alaric's voice was heard from behind. He hugged Eve, placing his chin over her shoulder while wrapping her arms around her waist.

Eve just let out a soft giggle as she held Alaric's arms, making him grip her body tightly.

"Aren't you tired, Eve?" He asked him worriedly, nuzzling his nose on the nook of her neck.

"I'm a little bit tired. But I feel so happy seeing the smiles of the people here. It's all worth it. Thank you, Alaric," Eve said, gently squeezing his arms.

"You make me so proud, Princess. My wife is so amazing. You are indeed a true princess. You are capable of leading your people. You swayed them so easily." Alaric planted a soft kiss on her cheek as though it was his reward for her.

Eve's face reddened at Alaric's compliment. She never received such genuine praise before. His words made her heart flutter.
