TBATE - Fated To Rule Together

Chapter 26 - Dire Tombs

(A/N: I'm going to mostly summarise the Dire Tombs because all of you know what happens. I'll mostly cover the important parts, so the chapter might be shorter than usual.)

(Arthur Leywin POV)

When I returned to the Inn where we were staying after seeing Fabian, I found Amber sitting on the bed with her arms crossed and glared at me; a dark and aggressive aura radiating from her. Scary!

'Lord have mercy on this soul!' I thought. She lifted one of her legs and put it on top of the other and raised her chin.

'Ahh, she's using that tactic.' I thought. Her posture was a classic stance that people of a higher status, and especially royalty, would use to intimidate someone. I gulped a load of saliva in anticipation for her next course of action. I would be lying if I said she didn't look hot as hell right now! 'Damn these hormones.' I contemplated.

"And where... have you been?" She spoke; her tone terrifying and cold.

"I uhm... I went to see Fabian to talk to him about something." I said in an attempt to reason with her.

"And why couldn't you do it later when I was awake? What are you doing behind my back?" I opened and closed my mouth, trying to form any sort of excuse. I couldn't possibly tell her what was in that box now. She would find out in due time, sooner than she would think, but not now.

"I-I placed an order for something, and I want him to deliver it to me on a specific date. I'm not telling you what, and don't think about asking Fabian about it, because I already told him not to tell you." She started pouting and puffed up her cheek when I told her she had no way of knowing what I had done. Soon she regained her composure and glared at me once again.

"Bed. Now." She ordered and pointed at the bed she was sitting on.

"Y-yes ma'am." Obediently following her request, I silently made my way to the bed as she glared at me all throughout my little journey, which felt longer than it should have been. As I sat down on the bed, she pushed me down with a force impossible without mana and made me lay on the bed. As soon as my back touched the bed, she laid on top of me and hugged my body with hers tightly and buried her face in my neck.

'Ahh, I forgot about this. That's probably why she's so pissed off.' I thought. Every morning when she wakes up, she likes to hug me or lay on my chest for a good ten minutes before getting up and properly starting her day. She was probably cranky that she couldn't do that today after waking up. I wrapped my arm around hers and rubbed her back as we lay there in silence, letting the warmth of our bodies do the talking.

And so, the day came!

Today was the final day of me and Amber being adventures and also the day we embark on our final adventure. For the time being at least. Who knows, maybe we'll become adventures again due to some unforeseen circumstances in the future.

Me and Amber were now fully accustomed to our new bodies. Our bodies had also grown a lot as well. I had accumulated more muscle mass and had gotten a lot taller and was no longer the shorty I once was. My hair was now so long that it came up to my chin; mostly because amber didn't let me cut it saying I'd look better with longer hair; and I have to say, she was right. Guess I should just leave my fashion choices in her hands from now on. Amber had also grown a lot taller, and we were now the same height. She had also seen great success in the growth of her female assets, if you know what I mean😏. But I won't expose her size and measurements here, even though I know it.
