Chapter 897 My Beautiful Monster Prologue Part 2



Norah felt a pair of hands cover her eyes. "I said not to look Norah."

She turned to her husband and sobbed. "W-what, what is going on Lex? Tell me."

Her husband averted his gaze but Norah raised her voice. "I hope you haven't forgotten Alexander, but this is my Kingdom too."

With the use of his full name, Lex turned to her and slowly started to explain everything. It turned out the cloaked figures she had been seeing around the last time she was in town were part of a religious group of individuals who claimed devotion to the gods and goddess. This isn't unusual, there are many places of worship around town, small shrines. b𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎l.net

But Lex explains to her how these cloaked figures have taken over an abandoned estate on the edge of town, and set up 'a holy ground.'

"Weren't we supposed to demolish that manor and use the land for several more homes?"

The population of the town had been growing increasingly since the last festival. Instead of trying to expand their land outwards, Norah suggested using abandoned areas. This way it wouldn't disrupt the other Kingdoms.

"We were, but these people suddenly took over one day. When you mentioned to me a few weeks ago about seeing weird people, I immediately looked into it and realized they were the ones who took over the manor."

So, that's why Lex put her on house arrest after that day. He should have just said something.

"-and they are dangerous?"

"They are using strange magic that we do not understand. I contacted some higher ups from the spirit realm to see if anybody gave away their powers to humans, but-"

Norah immediately understood what he was trying to say. Their fellow Gods and Goddesses don't have a high opinion of humans. She doubts they would willingly part with their abilities.

"If I come in contact with them, maybe I can find something out."

To her surprise Lex slammed his hand against the wall. "No. You are not going anywhere near those people." Lex yelled. The fury in his eyes surprised her.

Norah looked at him startled. This was the first time he was raising his voice at her. Ever since they have met, he has been nothing but a gentleman to her. He doesn't have a single mean bone in his body, she often teased him about it before.

Lex quickly calms himself down and pulls her into his arms. "Sorry." Lex kissed her forehead softly. "I have been a bit stressed recently. I'm sorry for raising my voice at you, my love."

His apology turned into him kissing her deeply.

The shock had yet to wear off but she was enjoying the warmth and attention his lips were giving her. Norah wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. She has always enjoyed the kisses her husband gave her. No matter what the circumstances were, she would never refuse his lips. But neither of them are innocent, a simple kiss isn't enough.

Lex grumbled. "Norah." He tried to pry her hands away but she rolled her eyes.

"I think I deserve this much attention since you keep neglecting me."

Lex chuckled. "I planned to give you the attention you want my wife. But, preferably in the bath after I wipe all this sweat and dirt from my body."

Norah's eyes lit up at those words and he chuckled as he scooped her up and led her to the bathroom. The large silver tub was already filled with steaming hot water, and rose petals. There was a gorgeous aroma from several scented candles placed in the room. Norah giggled.

"You prepared this?"

Lex nodded and kissed her eyelids. "I apologise for being so neglectful. I will make it up to you."

Norah shakes her head. "I was upset since you suddenly locked me up without saying a word about what was happening. But, I understand now." She reached over and caressed his cheek. "You worked hard my King. I am proud of you."

This man has always prioritised the wellbeing of those around him. Prioritised them over himself. He is so selfless for a god. Falling in love with him wasn't a surprise. There is nobody in the spirit realm who disliked Alex, every female wanted him. Yet for some strange reason he chose her, and they both ascended into the Godhood together.

Lex kissed her eyelids again. "So am I my Queen. You've been working hard preparing for winter again. Even locked up here, you have managed to help the villagers."

"Of course, it's my duty."

"I am sure they appreciate it." Lex lowered her to the ground and Norah eagerly helped him remove his armor. He raised his eyebrow. "It seems, I am the one stripping first today."

Norah giggled. "Does that displease you?"

"Not at all. Since I was looking forward to savouring your body."

At his words, she felt her entire body burn. She could already imagine what Lex would do to her, with those wickedly skillful hands of his.

Lex smirked as he leaned forward. "Not so brave now, are you my Queen?"

Norah turned away. "Strip yourself. I won't be helping you anymore."

He chuckled, and she hears the sound of the remaining parts of his armor being removed. During this process, she had already slipped off her own garments and entered the tub.

Lex sighed. "Must you deprive me of the pleasure of me removing your clothes?"

"Yes! I said I'd punish you, remember."

"Your threats are so lovely Norah dear, it always does something to me when you threaten me with your punishments."

Norah felt her cheeks burn, and the lower part of her body betraying her. She craved Lex, she wanted him to touch her now. Lex chuckled knowingly and she cursed. She hates it when he knows how to manipulate their bond like that.

Amongst their people, there exists a soul binding bond. A link between two individuals minds and souls. Their very souls are deeply integrated into one another. If one were to die, the other one would follow shortly after.

Lex joins her in the tub and Norah tries to get away from him, but alas her body and her mind were refusing each other. The minute he got inside, she immediately went to him.

Lex leaned down to kiss her. "Norah, I am truly sorry for keeping you away from everything. I just worry that if you get involved. The devoted ones will end up manipulating you?"

Norah sighed at those words. She couldn't deny her husband's words even if she wanted to. He knows her personality very well.
