With a bright smile, Axerion awaited a hug, maybe a kiss on the cheek from his beloved wife especially since they hadn't seen each other in months.
What met his face, however, was Neral's left foot when she delivered a flawless flying kick.
Axerion was launched against the kitchen sink, his body thrashing the metal cooking wares that caused an abnormally loud noise in the middle of the night.
"I'll take that gratefully too, I guess," he muttered while massaging his sharp jaws. He was lucky it didn't get deformed and damage his regal looks.
"Are you trying to kill us by heart attack?!" Neral screamed at his face.
"By the gods, Rio... We thought the demon king himself had entered the mansion..."
Axerion pushed himself off the floor, chuckling.
"Sorry! I was on my way to Callex but I figured I'd stop by to grab some food. I was hungry," he stated with a pitiful frown.
"I was planning on surprising you though. Shame you blew my cover," he added, dusting off his coat.
