The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 160. Day Of Departure

"The day has finally come."

That was the first thought I had as I opened my eyes to the rays of the morning sun beaming on my face. My left side felt different than the right side. I looked and noticed that Anna was already awake. Sarah however, had my right arm in a vice grip and didn't seem to want to let it go. We had an early day today, so I thought it would be best to wake her up.

" ...not...there... John..."

Seems she was having a pleasant dream, despite the words she just mumbled with a bit of drool coming from her mouth as she spoke. I took the thin sheet we used as a blanket and used it to wipe Sarah's chin to rid it of her drool.

" Good morning."

Her purple eyes opened as I finished wiping off her chin. They changed from unfocused to sharp as she realized she was staring at me. With a greeting she smiled and stretched herself across the giant bed she, Anna and I share as our marital bed.

" Good morning, Sarah."

I greet her back; she flashes a teasing smile as she arches her back while finishing her stretching.

" Do you see something you like?"

Sarah asked me that, as she watched me staring at her.

" Of course, I see my lovely wife, it wouldn't matter how much drool I have to clean off of you while you sleep, you'll always be pretty to me."

" Is that why I felt something on my chin?"

Sarah asked, with a slight blush on her face about how I woke her up.

" Yes, it was. But again, don't worry, you're always going to be beautiful to me Sarah." 

I inched closer to her as she tried to retreat from embarrassment.

" Well... Well.."

She's starting to panic. I prefer this in comparison to the almost evil look in her eyes when she began to make plans with Emily.

" You talk in your sleep!"

A desperate attempt to surprise me and stop my advance. But a useless one nonetheless!

/Chu./

I wrapped my hand around Sarah's back before she fell off of the bed, then I gave her a morning kiss. We separated and I began to speak.

" We're 2 sides of the same coin, I talk, you drool. It's a perfect marriage."

Sarah reacted with embarrassment to my words, but she didn't look away from me. I winked at her, and she began to pout a little. 

" I preferred it when you were surprised when I would kiss you, My Love."

" I kind of enjoy having you taste a bit of your own medicine."

With that, Sarah and I spent a few more moments playing around before we decided to get up properly. After washing up I made my way to the kitchen where Anna was enjoying a cup of tea as she read a book on the table. Sarah wanted to take a bath since it would be a few weeks before we could properly bathe again.

/Chu./

I kiss Anna on her cheek before she notices me, and I take my seat opposite of her.

" What are you reading?"

" M-M-Master! Not in front of our staff!"

Anna was embarrassed by my kiss. Most likely because she wasn't expecting it. I smile at her as she blushes and begins to pout at me since she realizes I'm finding enjoyment from her current actions. Brandon served me a savory porridge with sausages in it and some Blackfruit juice as a drink. The food was good, watching my wife calm down from her embarrassment was better. After I finished my food, I started to talk to a recently calmed Anna.
