Chapter 67

Scarlett I woke up from the dream that an octopus had wrapped their tentacles on me so tight that it almost made me lose my breath. When I opened my eyes, the first thing I did was to push away this ‘octopus’ to get my breath back. “You’re awake?” his voice low and hoarse and he even wrapped his arms around my waist again. “You almost killed me! Get off.” I pushed him off, but he didn’t even budge. “Go back to sleep again. There, there.” He said with a coaxing tone, trying to coax me to sleep. I rolled my eyes at him. “It’s already afternoon. I’ve slept long enough. If you want to sleep, get off me.” This time, he opened his eyes and looked at me. “You’re going to the courtyard?” I didn’t lie to him. I nodded my head. “Yes. I’m going there.” It took him a few minutes to let go of me. “Okay, I’ll go to the study.” I hurriedly got off the bed, went to take shower, changed my clothes before I left him alone the room and went to the courtyard where Nightshade’s armies would usually train.
