Base market

The fragrant aroma of freshly made breakfast assailed his nostrils as he slowly peeled his eyes open

Having worked on several documents all through the night. He had unknowingly fallen asleep

However the aroma of food woke him up, he stretched and yawned as he slowly stood up from his chair then alas he proceeded out of the room

"Wife" his voice was deep and hoarse, tinged with a hint of sexinesss "you're awake... breakfast would be ready soon" she said as she moved around the kitchen preparing breakfast "did you bake bread?" He asked sniffing the air

" I did.... Are you lactose intolerant?" She asked but dismissed the idea remembering how this man had drank the coffee she made him "what do you think" he chuckled before walking off to brush his mouth

She could only ignore him and begin breakfast preparations, there was still a few things to do

By the time Riezekiel came out of the bathroom however the table was already set, with a cup of coffee waiting for him

"Looks good" he complimented as he slowly sat, grabbing a slice of bread which he ate "the bread at the bakery's good, you can check them out later to reduce stress"

He said as he ate while glancing at her tiny hands "making bread is not so difficult actually" she said and he raised a brow

"Are you sure?" He asked a bit hesitant to believe her words

Those hands of hers were too skinny

If she worked so hard won't she collapse?

"I can handle it" she sighed as she began to eat, his subtle care though not as profound and obvious as Lebron's and his family

Yet she felt it

Behind his cold farcade was something she couldn't quite place her fingers on

"How did you learn to eat those plants" he asked with his black orbs like a dark vortex locked on her fiery red eyes which looked like a blazing volcano

"When you're in the wilderness, you adapt right?" She chuckled fishing out a few poisonous vials from her space pocket

"Let's take that as a thank you gift for saving me" she added lazily

She wasn't about to explain details to him

And thank gracious he was a smart ass directly checking the content out and reading the information label without asking questions

"This..." Riezekiel paused finding the right words to describe the whole thing

He didn't quite believe her whole wilderness theory, with a body as fair as hers how could her body even withstands

The heart waves that came around all seasons as well as the deadly monsters that lurked in the shadows

"It's as the instruction states, slow...…death" she drawled playfully however her eyes were cold and chilling. A contrast to the playful aura she gave off at the moment

Breakfast was eaten in silence

With none of the couple willing to break the silence but wallow in their own worlds and sink in their own thoughts

After breakfast Riezekiel was alas ready to step out for the days work.

Every day was tortuous training to prepare each soldier with the duties that awaited them as well as the expectations of the people whom the were to protect with every drop of their blood

"You can take a stroll as much as you want if you get into trouble just call me" he said while inserting his number into her optical brain

He was worried the other women would trouble her

Especially his half siblings

"I can manage by myself" she replied and with a sigh he grabbed his bag

Staring at her, he had the urge to hug her but knew he couldn't

At least for now he couldn't

Alas he strode out in heavy steps ready to face the brunt of everyday expectations and realities

The world had changed and so did the humans

He could only hope she would be able to manage herself

He couldn't be there all the time.

Hence he knew he couldn't spoil her much

With him gone Zosia sighed in relief as she brewed her verbal tea ready to spend the remaining part of the day sipping tea and enjoying the comfort of watching tv

Her bath was soon prepared with lots of herbal sachets poured into the medicinal bath

She climbed in and sat cross legged as she begun to cultivate

She smiled

The Ying and Yang essence here was abundant provably due to the fact that most supernatural and super power users cultivate Qi essence

While she cultivated the Ying and Yang essence

The catch she could cultivate the essence from several thousands miles distance thst alone was something to be happy about

However a knock on the door broke her out of her fantasies

She frowned as she slowly climbed out of the bath. Draining the water she walked out draped in a robe which covered her up totally

The sun had set over the horizon, a blood red sun which signaled the break of noon

Or simply said it was already very well into the afternoon

"Coming" her voice sounded soft and endearing and once the door opened the leading soldier gulped "sister in law" Athena hugged Zosia happily

"Miss are yu acquainted?" The soldier asked Zosia, his dark skin reddened even more

The young lady was too beautiful

A beauty that could topple nations

"We're acquainted" she replied before shutting the door behind her and leading Athena into the spacious living room

"Everything looks so clean and polished sister in law" Athena giggled happily as she examined the living room while Zosia's eyes sparkled as she rummaged through the vegetables Athena brought over

"How did you know I'll need vegetables" she was almost in tears as she hugged the large vegetables

She could make stir fries with this vegetables and could also make delicious soups "everyone in here would prefer vials to this things" Athena replied honestly "Betty would always overly dramatize with her vials when she visits her parents home and though it's toxin free I've tasted it when father makes it….: it tastes terrible" Athena laughed as she recalled how Betty would parade the whole community with s few vials in hand

Zosia quickly took the things to the kitchen, calmly masking her excitement with a subtle smile

The amount of dishes she could make with so much fish, meat and vegetables

Her mouth watered

"Won't you check out the base market, who knows you might find something you need" Athena commented and Zosia nodded as she hurried to the bedroom to get changed

Her milky skin glowed under the soft glow of the room's light and with a milk colored floral dress to match her pale white milky skin

She looked quite angelic

"I'm ready let's go" Zosia said as she walked out in her dress " you're the most beautiful I've ever seen sister in law" Athena pouted as she held Zosia's hand as they walked out of the apartment

"You flatter me too much!" Zosia chuckled
