(Orlax's POV)
I raised my hand and gently touched the rough skin on the right side of her face, a scar from a burn that happened four years ago.
"Does it hurt?"
I asked quietly, looking into Riana's eyes, which were gazing back at me.
"Well, sometimes. It itches now and then."
Riana leaned her face against my hand and closed her eyes.
"Hmm, your body temperature is really low. Are you sick?"
Riana asked with concern as she felt my temperature.
"I have no issues. It's just a side effect of one of my special abilities."
"If you say so."
Riana slowly lowered her hands and finally let go of my neck.
'Hmm, I think I forgot something?'
I started to feel like I had overlooked something while I was busy with Riana.
'Ah, right—Alex! Don't tell me he saw all of this?'
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and called Alex to find out where he was.
"Alex, where are you right now?"
"Your Majesty, I returned to the palace the moment I saw you arrive. Do you need anything?"
