When Michelle stirred awake, she felt a nice cool sensation on her body.
It was the familiar effect the Everfrost Mantle had on her.
Opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was that familiar handsome face above her.
And a bit unusual, Alexander's eyes were closed.
"Even the great Dark Lord has to sleep...?" she murmured, lifting her hand to touch Alexander's face.
It was warm, but not hot.
Alexander's eyes opened.
"Everybody enjoys a nap every now and then." He held Michelle's hand on his face.
"Or am I not allowed that?"
Michelle chuckled at that.
"How could I dare forbid something from the Dark Lord?" she trailed her fingers along Alexander's cheek to the side of his face before moving up to touch his temple.
"I'm a mere mortal..." she added teasingly, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
She was in a good mood because her Everfrost Mantle was fixed and Alexander was even kind enough to put it on her while she slept.
