Chapter 23 Her Wedding Day

• Nine's eyes stayed on the vanity mirror in front of her. It had been a week, and yet she couldn't get the thought out of her head. The truth had been that she left the palace, only to take a walk, to relax for a while and be alone then heard the cat meowing loudly. That was it really, but Lior didn't ask.
• Instead, he carried her in his arms in the bridal style. She had squirmed and asked why but he ignored her. At first, she felt uncomfortable but she relaxed, only growing more embarrassed when they got to the palace and he refused to set her down till he returned her to her room and on her bed.
• He had stared at her, and Nine could have sworn her heart was ready to jump out her chest before he reached out for her head and gave a soft pat then walked out, leaving her completely confused.
