Chapter 187: Life bliss

1015 AFTER FALL

The morning sun enters his room. He rubbed his eyes slowly and he could smell her fragrance. He opens his eyes and felt happiness.

An indescribable happiness.

'It's not a dream' he said to himself with a smile hanging on his face

Beside him is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Just lying there, looking absolutely gorgeous, beautiful and innocent.  

"A Goddess" he muttered to himself. He traces his hand on her cheeks and smile at himself. Her naked body is hidden by the fur blanket.

The morning air is refreshing and promising new beginnings for him. He should get up now he said to himself.

But he can't. He doesn't want to

He was entranced at the beauty of this creature in front of him now. So entrancing, so beautiful he wanted to lay down all morning just staring at her.

She was sleeping peacefully; her cheeks are rosy. There is the smell of their lovemaking last night but that doesn't bother him. That doesn't bother him at all.

'She is mine' he says, as he is hers.

Her hair is Perfect. If there is another way to describe perfect, he would say those words. His hand strokes her hair, feeling it tracing his finger.

Even after all that, she looks perfect.

He could marvel at her all day, speak of her beauty, sing her virtues and he doubt he could describe how beautiful she looks in this moment, so perfect he wanted to remember it forever.

'This is what life is' he said to himself.

To capture this moment, this once in a lifetime moment, when it shows itself and never letting it go, searing it to your memory, making the ordinary day extraordinary, filling it with this kind of memories.

'How could her hair still look perfect?' he asked himself, like he was truly curios.

And that is when he promised himself. Through the wrinkles of time, through the mask of years, he will always see the face he loved and won.

He will grow old together with her, have children with her and one day they will live full with love like his parents singing love song, argue sometimes, and making up with a kiss and taking a stroll in the beach with their children while lamenting how loud their kids are.

'She told me' Arial muttered.

Arial remembered when Helia told him stories about when she was a child where her parents will always bring them to the beach during the summers.

She said it is one of her happy memories. One of the many stories she told him, and whether by accident, he remembered every single detail.

Maybehe wondered. maybe he was attracted to her a long time ago too.

He stared at her and holds her hand, knowing that he can hold hers, that feeling of knowing, that if he wanted to, he could hold her hand, that freedom, just staring at her face, wondering, and marveling how he could be so lucky to have her by her side.

And suddenly jealousy welled in his heart.

In the original timeline did she ever married anyone else? Did she love any other man? Then he shakes his head.

This is ridiculous he said to himself. It has not happened, or to be precise in this timeline it didn't happen. She is his.

"I could stare her face all day long and I will not get bored" he said smiling a happy smile.

She then holds his hand. He could feel her.

'Still staring?' she asks, still not opening her eyes.

'I could stare at you all day' Arial reply.

She opens her eyes slowly and then she closes the distance between her and Arial.

'My prince' she said, her face is radiant and shiny, her smile traces around his lips and love marks mark her neck.

'My princess' Arial said. And she giggles. Arial kissed her forehead, more like peck.

'Suddenly you are meek?' Helia ask surprised.

'There are times to be daring, dear' Arial said.

'Like last night' she said and she laughs. Arial doesn't like being teased so much so he closed his lips to her and said

'Yes, like last night.'

His lip is so close to Helia that Helia suddenly too surprised at the sudden attack is at loss for words. Arial let the moment hangs.

He just looks at Helia as she unconsciously gulped.

'You're going to kiss me' she said.

Arial grinned.

'I'm working up the nerve' he said playfully.

'You- 'Then he is kissing her before she could finish her words.

She yelped, surprised at the sudden kiss and she is smiling. It is paradise for them. During their kiss, he said it again, those words, which sound like a song, whispered into her ears

"I love you' he said

'I love you back' she replies.

Tears of joy fall down her eyes. She could feel his kisses, the feeling of his muscly body against hers, his breath against hers, and the touch of his hand on her flesh.

She could feel every single thing and she likes it. Then Helia broke the kiss.

'What? Is it bad?' Arial asked.

'Your mother. Will she come here?'

'No, she is in the mansion.' Arial said confused and he hugged Helia back.

'I better get out' Helia said.

'Words' she said 'are mightier than sword.'

Helia doesn't want rumors that they have make love with each other outside of marriage.

Arial may not care, but his relation with the Church may suffer, and no matter how approving Helia father on the marriage Helia don't think his father would like hearing that before marriage that they got together.

He wouldn't like that at all. Her father might not be able to beat Arial, but that doesn't mean he will not try.

She quickly wears her gown, a fur clothes from one of Arial wardrobes and approached the dazed Arial still lounging around on his bed.

'Kiss me goodbye' she said.

Arial look at her and said

'I didn't want to kiss you goodbye that was the trouble I wanted to kiss you good night and there's a lot of difference.'

In any other day this would make Helia happy but she fears about Arial reputation more. She gives him a peck on the cheek

"Meet me tonight at our balcony" she said and she rushed off the room.

Arial look confused at the whole scenario.

'Just my luck' he said smiling and then he prepared himself for the dull affair which is his job as lord of the castle.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 

Today will be a double release. And I think there will be a mass release at the 29th so be ready for the mass release. I have been thinking of making a  privilege chapter. I saw many of my stories being pirated and that made me a little bit depressed and angry.

I just don't know what to do. I like posting the chapter like this. But what I noticed when people posted privilige chapter those sites could not scrap the chapter. But I still don't know what should I do. Doing such move might deter more readers from reading. And my story is not exactly that popular or anything. I like the fact people read my stories.

There are the occasional people saying my work is trash and it was something they regret rreading. And while that hurts, there are also some people that encouraged me.

And I like that. But when you see your hard work being pirated it kinda hurts.

To me it is fine for some of them if they want to go to this site to read the chapter and then decide whether the story is good or not. But it is not like you have to pay to read the first sixty chapter of the stroy. If by the end of teh free chapter you are still not liking the story, you surely would not read the story. It is just sad. 

Forgive the rant. Anyway, still hoping you enjoy the story
