Chapter 328 - 328 Involuntary Reaction



He opened his eyes to find that Anastasia was still sleeping comfortably on his chest. He couldn’t help but smile when he ran his mildly warm palms over her bare back.

“Mmm…” Anastasia let out a throaty voice when she felt Caspian’s hands on her. They were a little colder than her body even when he was absorbing some heat from her as well as the warm blanket.

‘I think I should let her sleep,’ Caspian thought to himself when Anastasia didn’t show any signs of waking up any time soon.

He tightly held Anastasia with his arms and slowly shifted on his side. And he gently lay his wife down on the bed beside him.

Seeing Anastasia opening her eyes in her half-asleep state, Caspian brought his face closer to her and said after planting a soft and loving kiss on her forehead, “Go back to sleep. I will see you later.”

Anastasia smiled at Caspian and went right back to sleep as if she didn’t open her eyes in the first place.

Caspian chuckled and shook his head seeing how it didn’t even take a second for her to go back to her dream.

He then cautiously removed the blanket and got out of bed while trying not to make the slightest sound.

.....

But the bed creaked a little, prompting Anastasia to change her side in her sleepy state.

Caspian let out a quiet sigh when Anastasia continued sleeping. He picked up his clothes from yesterday and began putting them on while staring at his wife’s back which was slightly showing.

He pulled the blanket to cover her back completely and got ready to leave for his chambers.

But before heading out, his face turned a little serious. ‘I was thinking of updating her about Everard’s case after waking up but it seems like she won’t be waking up soon. I guess… I will update her in the afternoon when she brews the tea for me.’

After deciding to do so, Caspian ran back to his chamber so that he could freshen up and have a big breakfast before starting his long and boring day at work.

When Caspian entered the antechamber of his room, he saw that the maids and servants were already running around while doing their tasks.

When they noticed the presence of the King, they all stopped and bowed. And they resumed doing their work.

A couple of maids immediately came to him and bowed saying that the bath was already ready. Since he didn’t come to the room yesterday night, they had prepared the bath early knowing that the King would want to get in the tub as soon as he arrived.

Caspian gave a nod and went to the bathroom, followed by a couple of servants whose job was to help the King to take the bath and change into a fresh set of clothes.

When Caspian returned after taking a short and warm bath, his breakfast table had already been set. There was a huge glass jar on the table, along with a beautiful wine glass.

Caspian’s eyes glowed brighter when he inhaled the scent of fresh blood. As he hadn’t had anything since yesterday afternoon, he immediately sat down to be served.

A maid poured the fresh red blood from the jar into the glass.

And Caspian immediately grabbed the glass and looked at the red liquid. He elegantly gave a swirl to the liquid and brought the glass close to his nose to take the aroma in. His fangs instantly elongated as if they were ready to dig into the flesh of the prey.

He gently rubbed one of his fangs with the tip of his tongue and rolled his eyes at the fangs that would involuntarily elongate at times. And he complained in his head, ‘This is why I am afraid to sit together with Anna for breakfast or dinner.’

Then he scolded his own fangs as if they could hear him, ‘Don’t get too excited you darn idiots! Now go back!’

He retracted his fangs back to their normal size and finally took a sip of his still-warm drink. He instantly closed his eyes and relished the sweetness of the fresh blood.

Without waiting further, he then chugged down the whole glass in one breath and put the glass down on the table.

He gave a look to the maid and the maid instantly understood that the King wanted more. She immediately poured some more blood into the King’s glass. And Caspian chugged it down once more.

He finally felt as if his stomach was somewhat happy after drinking two glasses at once. If not for his own policy, he would have loved to have some more. But he didn’t want to overindulge himself when his citizens were following his rules and limiting their blood consumption to a minimum.

Being the King, he didn’t want to take advantage of his position and leave a bad impression on his maids and servants by drinking more than what was required for the daily functioning of his body.

After asking the maids and servants to have their breakfast as well, he finally stepped out of his chamber to head for his study room.

“Good morning, Your Majesty.”

Caspian was greeted by Zenon on the way.

The King gave a nod and slowed down. He put his arms behind his back and asked his advisor, “Were you going to find me in my bed?”

Zenon awkwardly smiled, recalling how he had actually done that a few times. And he replied while walking a step behind the King, “Umm… it’s not that urgent but I thought you would want to hear the message as soon as it arrived.”

“What is it?” Caspian asked as his eyes fell on the door of his study room that was ahead of him. He sighed as he wondered if Zenon had brought a piece of bad news early in the morning.

“Did something bad happen?” he asked again.
