“Wait!” Lina’s small hand pushed against Zuko’s sturdy chest, her clever eyes blinking as she spoke softly. “Isn’t His
Majesty known for being hospitable? It doesn’t make sense that we’re given such a small room. Besides, the palace
is so big—”
“His Majesty said there’s only this room!” Zuko replied seriously. “Lina, it’s not good to bother His Majesty over such
a trivial matter…”
He coughed lightly and smirked. “Let’s make do with it tonight, okay?”
“But…” Before Lina could argue further, her lips were sealed by Zuko’s eager kiss.
It had been a long time since he had kissed her like this…
Zuko held her tightly, content as if he had obtained the whole world. His hand gently traced along her delicate back,
lightly resting on her soft nape as if caressing a kitten’s neck. His other hand around her waist gradually gained a
mind of its own.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLina’s heart raced, feeling both confused and infatuated. She didn’t know what to do next…
Zuko began to take advantage of the situation, guiding her toward the small bed. In a low, hoarse voice that ignited
a fire within her, he whispered next to her ear, “Let’s go to sleep early.”
“Zuko…”
He held her small hand, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips, while his eyes were filled with tender affection like
starlight.
Lina’s cheeks flushed, her ears turning as red as ripe cherries. She sat on the edge of the bed without much
coercion.
“Lina, I want… to have you.”
Lina dared not look at Zuko. Her breath was bated. All she could hear was the thumping sound of her own
heartbeat, her mind going blank.
Just as Zuko’s hand was about to undo the fastening on her collar…
The door suddenly swung open!
Lina was startled, almost screaming, and Zuko quickly shielded her behind him, facing the person who entered the
room with wide eyes.
“Y-Your… Lordship?” It was Remus’ turn to be shocked, his face turning pale. “Why are you… Why are you here in
my room with Ms. Lina?”
“What?” Lina was stunned, poking her head out from behind Zuko. “This is your room?”
“Yes, this is my study.” Remus smiled awkwardly. “Usually, I handle some documents for His Majesty here, and I take
a rest on this small bed sometimes when I work for a long time…”
Speaking of the bed, Remus seemed to understand something instantly.
Zuko’s face alternated between being flushed and pale, wishing he could find a hole to hide in!
He had been to the palace a few times before, and someone else arranged the accommodation each time. He had
never personally searched for a room. He had picked this place because it had a serene environment—and the key
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmpoint was the small bed.
He never expected…
Zuko grimaced, forcing out an extremely unnatural smile.
Having similar experiences, Remus instantly understood what was going on in this lad’s mind.
“Your Lordship.” He stepped forward, respectfully helping him find an excuse. “Did you perhaps enter the wrong
room?”
“Oh, uh… Yes!” Zuko tried to maintain a serious face. “It’s been many years since I last came, and I… I’m not
familiar with this place anymore!”
“No problem. His Majesty arranged a room for Ms. Lina right next to the Pearl Spring.” Remus smiled. “Ms. Lina,
please come with me.”
Lina lowered her gaze, her face blushing, and she slowly walked away from behind Zuko.
Zuko hurriedly followed, but Remus turned around and looked at him. “Your Lordship, someone will take you to
where you’ll be staying later!”
“What?” Zuko was taken aback. “We won’t be staying together?”
