Penelope’s kisses never came with a warning. They always struck like a bolt out of the blue.

Each time, Ahwin found himself utterly defenseless against her.

Just that morning, he had been sulking, feeling as though his beloved had been stolen by her own estate.

If it’s a date, it should be a proper date! Taking a detour to check on the estate felt like cheating.

Whenever Penelope had something on her mind, it always turned out to be about the estate. As if skipping responsibilities for a single day would cause the entire territory to collapse.

Maybe I should just crush it all…

With just a flick of his finger, the Halo Estate could crumble like dough under his immense power. A glint of gold flickered in his eyes.
