Chapter 321: The King Who Became a Child Carrier (Against His Will)
Elyn's POV
I looked at my hands.
Then I looked at Zorathys.
Then I looked at my hands again.
Wait... what was... no, this was a joke. But no matter how I thought of it... it wasn't a joke. This was real.
Zorathys had really taken Aziren from my hands. Willingly. Without being asked. Without any prompting whatsoever. The same Zorathys who referred to these children as "pests" and "nuisances" with such consistent disdain that I had assumed he would rather set himself on fire than touch any of them.
And yet, there he was. Holding Aziren like it was the most natural thing in the world. The fire demon child was perched in his arms, his flames still dancing happily, his tears now dried on his cheeks. He looked perfectly content, like he had been waiting for this moment his entire life.
I stared at them.
"Are you okay?" I asked him slowly.
