Yelena shortly took the bracelet into her hand. Her physique warmth transmitted to the mana gem, after which she heard the voice she had been dying to listen to.

-Spouse.

“Kaywhin!”

Yelena’s overjoyed voice echoed within the library.

-What have been you doing?

“I used to be simply… doing this and that within the library.”

-I see. Is all the pieces all proper?

“Sure. I’m doing nicely.”

Yelena contemplated for a second after which opened her mouth.

“By the best way, you’ve been showing in my desires recently.”

Yelena had dreamt about her husband final night time. It had been a candy dream.

Yelena had been so dissatisfied when she had woken up that she pressured herself to return to sleep, however she couldn’t proceed the identical dream.

“What about you, Darling? Have I been showing in your desires recently?”

-…

“…Is {that a} no?”

-For the reason that starting.

“Hm?”

-You’ve been in my desires for the reason that first day we parted.

Yelena blinked as she stared on the shining mana gem.

“…I see.”

Yelena couldn’t preserve the phrases from popping out of her mouth.

“So, what did we do?”

-I’m sorry?

“I’m interested in what we did in your desires.”

For reference, Yelena and her husband had kissed passionately in her dream final night time. That they had been in a discipline stuffed with flowers. She had dreamt of kissing her husband, who lay on the bottom, not even noticing that nectar was staining his again, surrounded by the flowers in full bloom, beneath the correct quantity of daylight.

‘Ah, that was excellent. We should always do it subsequent spring.’

As Yelena made plans to make her dream into actuality, her husband’s voice flowed out of her bracelet.

-…It wasn’t something extraordinary. Simply…

“Simply kissing?”

-…

“Or maybe, greater than that? Wait, then that’s extraordinary.”

-Yelena.

Kaywhin stated Yelena’s identify in an embarrassed voice, as a substitute of denying it. It gave the impression of he was admitting that Yelena was proper.

Yelena laughed. Her chest felt ticklish.

“I miss you,” she stated in a whisper, however the phrases had actually been delivered.

The voice in her bracelet answered immediately.

-I miss you too.

“How a lot so?” Yelena requested, tucking her chin within the hand that wasn’t carrying the bracelet.

Sidrion had actually given her a good reward. The bracelet labored so nicely that each time she conversed along with her husband like this, Yelena felt like he was proper subsequent to her although she couldn’t see him.

“How a lot do you miss me?”

-Nicely…

Yelena heard a faint voice that wasn’t her husband’s via the bracelet. She may inform that the voice was calling for him.

“It looks as if somebody is in search of you.”

-I’ll name you once more shortly.

“Okay. Don’t fear about me. Take your time with no matter you’ll want to do. Name me if you’re accomplished.”

-I like you, Yelena.

For a second, Yelena was speechless.

“…I like you too,” was Yelena’s mushy reply and their ultimate change earlier than the mana gem’s gentle went off.

Yelena gazed longingly on the bracelet for fairly a while. Then, she reached for her personal work that she had been pushing off.

‘I ought to reply to my letters.’

Yesterday and right this moment, for a mere two days, a bunch of letters had arrived on the ducal fortress, as if the senders had deliberate for them to reach suddenly. Most of them have been formalities, folks sending their regards.

There was a letter from residence, a letter from Aendydn, one from Rosaline…

‘And there’s a letter from Will.’

Will, the bard.

It had been some time since Yelena had final recalled the identify of the one that had prophetic desires and knew of the long run like Yelena did.

Per Yelena’s suggestion that they develop into penpals, Yelena sometimes obtained letters, simply as she was about to neglect Will. Will hadn’t written about a lot on this letter. Like the opposite letters, she briefly wrote about how she was doing after which requested Yelena how she was doing.

After replying to every letter, Yelena seemed on the final letter that she hadn’t opened but.

[From: Mielle Linden]

“Hmm…”

A letter from her cousin Mielle.

‘Why did she write me a letter?’

Mielle wasn’t the sort to write down letters about each little factor that was taking place in her life.

Feeling that one thing was uncommon, Yelena ended up pushing the letter to the facet till it turned the final one left. Yelena contemplated till she ended up peeling the seal off the letter.

Then, her jaw dropped with a puff.

“…Huh?”

The property, empty after all of the servants had fled, was dreary and silent as if it was haunted by a ghost.

Ovell spoke shortly with a nervous expression.

“Such as you promised, you’ll come again instantly after retrieving your merchandise.”

Ovell’s arms have been barely trembling, for good cause. Earlier than getting into the property, he and Rebecca had virtually been caught.
