"Uhm... Lisa," Jennie started as she cupped Lisa’s face after their long and heated kiss. "What about you? Don’t you feel hungry? Y-you have to eat, too."

Lisa blinked at her before he held her hand and entwined their fingers.

"Don’t worry, I am still quite satisfied from Jisoo’s blood," he said, smiling at her.

Jennie was relieved after hearing that, but a part of her wanted to insist for Lisa to have a meal just to make doubly sure.

However, before she could speak again, she looked up and spotted Chaeyoung through the glass wall. "Chaeyoung!" she called out and Lisa turned as well. He finally put Jennie down so she could get to the door to open it for the witch princess.
"Chaeyoung!" she exclaimed as she took Chaeyoung’s hand and led her inside.

"How are you?" the witch princess asked as she sat next to Jennie.

"I’m alright now."

"Glad to hear that."

"Uhm... where is your crystal ball?" She asked when she saw that Chaeyoung didn’t have her crystal ball with her.

"I left it in the tent. Why?"

"I..." she paused and glanced at Lisa who was sitting across them. "I wanted you to show me what I did last night; to show me how I ended up in the forest."

Chaeyoung fell silent. She glanced at Lisa. It seemed this man didn’t tell Jennie that she too was unable to shed any light to what really happened to her last night. Sighing, Chaeyoung could only explain to Jennie.

"I am sorry, Jennie. I think someone blocked my vision last night because I actually couldn’t see anything clearly. And then after that, we spent the time fighting with those creatures so I didn’t really get to see what happened," she explained.

Jennie shoulders dropped but she didn’t look disheartened. "I see. Lisa said someone might have manipulated me. It seems a likely explanation because I cannot remember anything."

Chaeyoung threw another quick glance at Lisa and what she saw in his expression made her realize that he didn’t want them talking about this topic any longer.

"That is a possibility, Jennie," was Chaeyoung reply.

"Yes, it is. By the way... do you think someone is watching us right now?" Jennie suddenly asks. "I mean, is it possible for someone to break through your barrier?"

Chaeyoung shook her head.

"No, rest assured no one is able to watch what we are doing right now. Even our queen wouldn’t be able to break through my barrier. The only way for others to break through is if they came to the area personally and overwrote my barrier. But I would definitely know if someone is doing that."

"Then, how did they find out where we are? Were they using the same strategy that you are using?"

"That’s the only reason I could think of."

"I see. That’s a relief then. At least they are unable to watch and hear us."

"Were you able to track where Jisoo went?" Lisa then piped up, causing Jennie to frown. Was Jisoo missing?

Chaeyoung shook her head as she sighed. "I’ve tried to locate him but I can’t find any trace of him. He seems to have disappeared into thin air."

Jennie looked at Lisa but his face didn’t darken as she thought it would. He just leaned back and looked up at the ceiling, let out a sigh before he looked at Chaeyoung.

"I will take over this operation from him then. Where are his men?" he asked.

"By the tent."

Lisa rose and Jennie and Chaeyoung also stood up. Lisa was about to open the door when he looked at Jennie.

"I think it’s better if you stay here, Jennie," he said and she immediately puffed her cheeks.

"No! You promised you would never leave my side ever again," she argued.

Lisa looked like he wanted to say something else but he decided against it. It would do him no good to upset his wife. Besides, she would be safe with him around. He rubbed the back of his neck and he walked passed Chaeyoung towards his wife. He lifted her up, like she was as light as a doll, and brought her back to their room.

He put her down on the bed and he quickly headed to the closet and rummaged for some very warm clothes as well as socks and placed them on the bed. As Jennie was putting on the clothes he had found for her, he was busy looking in the closet for a thick coat for Jennie. In the end, he chose a thick, furry, gray coat.

Without a word, he helped her wear the coat when she was finished changing.

"This is too big. This is your size," Jennie complained.

"No. This suits you. With this, you won’t catch a fever again," he said and he buttoned up the large coat. The coat was so big on her that she almost looked like she was wearing a gray-colored Spanish bread costume with a furry hoodie.

He even smiled mischievously at the sight of her.

"You’re cute," he told her and before Jennie could complain again, he gathered her into his arms and headed out of the room. He put her down by the door and because she was having a hard time moving in her large coat, he knelt on one knee and helped her put on her snow boots.

Jennie cheek turned red because of the warm clothes she was wearing and the fact that her husband was pampering her again. Her sweet husband was finally back. She giggled as she enjoyed watching him carefully put her snow boots on her. But he wasn’t done yet.

In the next second, he took a scarf from the small cupboard - yellow, of course - and wrapped it around her neck.

He looked at her and smirked sexily before he let the scarf go and asked for his reward.

"My reward, wife. Before we head out." he cheekily demanded. He leaned down and Jennie was quick to plant a kiss on his lips.
