Chapter 204: A True Ho (Ch.204)
narx slowly pulled away, his heart racing a mile per second, as he knew it was now ti to face Neveah’s reaction.
narx had not planned on kissing Neveah without seeking her consent first, but hearing her belittle her own significance when he himself was practically losing his mind for her... narx just could not help himself.
Neveah did not understand... just how cherished she actually was and it ached narx’s heart.
Beyond this ache was the terror narx felt, terror that he would be rejected and Neveah would not let him show to her just how precious she was to him.
narx’s eyes remained closed for a mont, his lips tingling and his heart warm... this feeling and this mont was so precious, narx did not want to face reality.
narx already knew it, that his feelings were not reciprocated and though Neveah did not push him away, she also did not kiss him back.
And so it was ti for narx to bare his heart to this precious woman, regardless of how it turned out.
"Veah... I..." narx began as his eyes fluttered open.
However it was at that very mont that Neveah fell forwards, falling straight into narx’s arms completely limp.
narx was montarily surprised, but Neveah’s stable breathing assured him she was fine and only unconscious.
"I am about to confess to you and what...? You fall unconscious right at this mont?" narx asked, laughing quietly to himself as he lifted Neveah up into his arms.
narx stared down at her, her peaceful expression while she rested and that fuzzy feeling in the pit of his stomach only grew stronger.
"I am over four hundred years old, how is it that you can still move
so? My heart should be hard enough by now...yet you make
feel like a silly child." narx muttered, a small smile on his lips.
"I will take you back to Dragon Keep... I know you do not want it, but trust ..."
"I will make Dragon Keep a true ho to you, Neveah." narx vowed solemnly as he headed back in the direction he had co, his troubled heart finally at ease.

"I cannot believe you would have
give you a ride back to the Keep even after piling up all your work load on
for days."
"I knew you were cruel...but not this much. This is entirely unethical and annoying." Kirgan thought to narx.
Kirgan was in dragon form, making the return trip back to Dragon Keep with narx on his back and Neveah cradled in narx’s arms.
narx had sent word to Kirgan who had co to fetch them since narx could not take dragon form while Neveah slept.
Of course, there had been Kaideon, the dune lord but narx would have to grow three heads before he would dare request such a favor from Kaideon.
"Do not be ridiculous. I love you, you love ... what more do you want? It is only reasonable you give
a ride." narx thought back to Kirgan in amusent.
"Gross! Just get off!" Kirgan hissed as he made his landing on the landing platform on the fourth level.
narx took his ti climbing off, much to Kirgan’s horror and the mont narx was off with Neveah secured in his arms, Kirgan reverted back to his human form, a cross glare in his eyes.
"Now that the girl is back... can you get your wits together? I think I will rip a wing if I lead another week of flight patrol." Kirgan lanted, though there was a small smile on his lips.
"You know, I would never admit this before Jian but... be it you or Xenon, seeing you like this, I am glad." Kirgan admitted to narx.
narx chuckled lowly but nodded in response.
"Let Jian know I returned with her and Everon too." narx requested as he headed into the fourth level, making his way to Neveah’s room.
"Lord narx." A familiar voice greeted just as narx arrived at the door to Neveah’s room.
"Lady Adrienne." narx acknowledged without glancing back, he could sense who it was just fine without having to see.
"Is she okay?" Lady Adrienne asked again.
"Certainly." narx replied, he was not in the mood for a conversation and so he headed into Neveah’s room and slamd the door shut.
narx glanced around Neveah’s room for a mont, thankfully, he had the servants keep it cleaned and so everything was in perfect condition.
narx placed Neveah down on her bed, pulling the covers over her before he took a sit by her side and gazed down at her with a silly smile on his lips.
"Did you know, Veah? You truly are beautiful..." narx said quietly.
"I sure do hope that smile pays off." Lord Everon pointed out just as he pushed open the door and stepped in.
"Did you never learn to knock and await permission to enter?" narx grumbled in annoyance at the interruption.
Lord Everon glanced around for a mont before he scoffed.
"It’s not your quarters, you do not have a say." Lord Everon replied with a roll of his eyes.
"How did you arrive here so quickly? I only just told Kirgan to send word and he is sure to go to Jian first." narx asked with a raised brow.
"I heard you went in search of her, and so I prepared a tonic ahead of ti as well as a petition to kick you out of Dragon Keep."
"If you returned with her, she would surely need her energy replenished. And if you failed, you could just go back the way you ca." Lord Everon replied casually.
narx shook his head, not even surprised by the words of his cousin.
"How typical of you." narx replied.
"Well? Move aside. Let
take a look and see the extent of damage you and Jian have caused to the poor child." Lord Everon said, shooing narx to the side.
