Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 316: King, Queen, & Princess

Exiting the bathroom alongside Lazuli, I removed the towel from my waist and dried myself off, rubbing every part of my body until I was dry, which Lazuli seemed to enjoy watching.

"Like the show?" Asked Alexander with an amused smirk as he shook his head, causing his wet hair to fling water everywhere before he dried it with his towel.

"Yes... Very much so." Replied Lazuli with a nod as she looked at Alexander with desire while her eyes trailed across his body, causing her to lick her lips.

Chuckling, I shook my head while kissing Lazuli's cheek; women weren't the only ones who felt good to be lusted over; the look Lazuli gave me caused me to smile, though. Unfortunately, we didn't have time for any fun.

"Alright, Lazuli, don't tempt me. I promise I'll make it up for that other night, but we don't have time right now." Said Alexander softly as he grabbed Lazuli by the waist before lifting her up and spinning in a circle, causing her to pout before nodding.

Bringing her close, I kissed her on the cheek before tossing her onto the large, comfy bed while I grabbed the clothes I got from Princess Amaryllis, the only clothes I had to fit the occasion.

"Hmm, should I keep my hair down? Or something else?" Asked Alexander curiously as he glanced at his shoulder-length hair in the mirror, unsure of what to do.

'Hmm, I like the loose bun, Master.' 'Ponytail.' Remarked Trina and Zartha, respectively, as the former tapped her chin with a thoughtful expression while the latter's cold voice rang out.

"A loose bun looks sexy on you." Said Lazuli lightly as she wore the dress she got from Amaryllis, while Alexander nodded.

"Loose bun it is." Stated Alexander as he quickly tied his hair into a loose bun before facing Lazuli with his arms stretched out.

"So, how do I look?" "Like prey." Said Alexander and Lazuli, respectively, as the former faintly smiled while the latter slowly approached before leaning into his embrace, pressing her body against his.

Rolling my eyes, I leaned down, kissing Lazuli before grabbing her hand and leading her to the door; as we exited our room, only to see a maid nearly knocking.

"Sir Alexander, please, follow me." Stated the maid respectfully as she bowed to Alexander before turning around and quickly walking away, prompting him to follow.

Following behind the woman, Lazuli and I quickly walked through the halls, observing the palace while doing so, before we eventually arrived at a set of double doors guarded by multiple soldiers, though they promptly stepped aside when they noticed the maid leading us.

With her opening the doors, Lazuli and I entered what looked to be a modest-sized dining room, much smaller than I expected from such a huge palace, but my thoughts were cut short when I heard Jasmine's voice and saw her skipping to me with a massive smile.

"Sir. Alex, I'm glad to see you again!" Said Jasmine with a smile as she looked at Alexander before tightly hugging him, causing him to cough awkwardly.

I would've reciprocated the hug, but I saw a handsome, well-built man donned in probably the most expensive outfit I'd ever laid eyes on approach me, and I didn't need to be a genius to know who it was.

'Fuck, he's going to kill me now.' Thought Alexander with a wry expression as he glanced at Volkun, who was only a few inches shorter than him.

"Um, Your Majesty, I can surely e-exp-plain—" Said Alexander lightly as he looked at Volkun, who suddenly embraced him in a hug alongside Jasmine, stunning him.

I was expecting a punch to the face, not a hug from the King, but I much preferred this route, so I happily let them hug. After several moments, the King finally removed himself from me, prompting Jasmine to do the same, sporting a deep blush, while I fixed my outfit.
