Chapter 268 The Effect

Chapter 268 The Effect

Eltanin gazed at his wife. After he had reclaimed her, she appeared relaxed and harmonious. The night's rest also worked wonders on her. He saw how her wings rustled under his gaze. It made him feel good to see the effect he had on her.

"How are you feeling, Tania?" he asked softly. All he wanted right now was to hold her in his arms and stay just like that. It had been days when he had spent quality time with her. There had been so much tension all the time that he had forgotten what relaxation was.

"I am feeling well, she breathed.

He was supposed to tell her that they had to return to Draka, but he said, "Would you like to take a walk on the shores of Stourin? They are very beautiful at night."

Tania's face heated till her ears. Her husband was asking her for an evening out. Suddenly, she too was looking forward to spending time with him. Rather waste her time with him. It had been so many days when they had simply squandered time with him.

"Oh the shores are beautiful!" Taiyi added, so that her daughter-in-law didn't refuse. She could clearly see that these two really needed to be together and that too without interruption. While these two would spend time at the shores of Stourin, she was going to pay a visit to the Kingdom of Murel.

Tania's lips curled up. In a soft voice, she said, "Yes, I would like that very much."

"Great!" Eltanin replied.

When Tania had just arrived in the bubble, she saw that Eltanin was with his mother who was training him how to deal with his magic. He was wiping his sweat off at that time, so she thought that perhaps they had just finished. However, she realized that she should leave them again so that he could carry the training forward. "I will go back to the bedchamber then."

"Wait!" Taiyi stopped her. Tania turned to her with anticipation. "Do you remember Esmeralda from the last time?"

"Yes, she was present at the party you had given."

"Esmeralda can take you shopping to our main market. Would you like to go?"

Tania's eyes widened slightly. She glanced at Eltanin, who had raised an eyebrow. "I would love to," she replied. "What are the special things that I can buy in Stourin?"

"Lovely!" Taiyi chuckled. "Esmeralda is going to tell you all about it!"

"Okay," Tania bowed again to her. With another flirtatious look at her husband, she walked back to her bedchamber where she had to wait for Esmeralda.

"When will you be announcing her to the citizens of Draka as your queen?" asked Taiyi.

Taiyi padded to the perimeter of the bubble. There was a mermaid swimming next to it. The mermaid came to her and handed her a string of pearl necklace. Taiyi extended her hand inside the water without breaking the bubble and took the necklace from her. She went back to Eltanin with it and said, "Make Tania wear this. It will keep her undetected on the shores. After what you have told me about Murel, I am restless." Eltanin frowned but he took the necklace. "Also, I would suggest that you still wait to announce her to the public because we still have Menkar to deal with."

Eltanin pursed his lips and looked away from his mother. His eyes went to the mermaid who was now swimming away, her violet tail flapping behind her gently in the water. "It is time that she is known to the people, Mother. I have hidden her for a long. With Tania as my queen, I highly doubt anyone would be able to touch her."

"That is also true, but you cannot deny that there are dirty forces even in Draka."

Eltanin rubbed his neck. He took a deep breath in. "I will think about it." He was in a hurry to announce that he had found his mate. Tania's parents were there and it was the perfect opportunity.

Taiyi smiled at him. "If you wish to declare that you have found your queen, let me know. I will have to come to witness her ascension as the Queen of Draka.

He chuckled. "I will."

They spent the rest of the time channeling his magic and by the time it was evening, Taiyi let him go.

Eltanin was tired but he was also looking forward to spending the evening with Tania on the beautiful shores of Stourin. When he reached the chamber, he saw that she still hadn't come. He rolled his eyes. The girl had taken a liking to shopping. He wondered what his bills would be over here as he made way to the bathroom.

After a long hot bath, when he emerged, he saw an excited Tania.

"Stourin's market is… breathtaking!" she said with a glint in her eyes. "I bought so much and feel that I can't shop anywhere else Elty. We have to come back here for more shopping!"

Eltanin let out a rough exhale when he saw small and big velvet boxes strewn across their bed. This time she decided to buy jewelry. Sigh. All he could do was to walk to the closet and wear a white casual shirt and white trousers. He didn't comb his hair.

"Won't you change?" he asked her when he saw that she was in the same gown.

"Yes, of course!" she replied with a hint of mischief in her eyes. Then she picked up a shopping bag and walked to the bathroom. When she emerged from there, she knew what she wore was pretty hot because a delicious rumble came from Eltanin's chest. She had bought a plum bandeau with matching panties that had straps on the sides. She had a wrap-around skirt on her hands which she draped in front of him. "Let's go!" she said, grinning, loving the effect she had on him.
