he was watching her watching everything she did she was very tired but she wasn't going to give up and take the rest of the day to rest she is a human so eventually she will collapse these days the Lord was making her do as she pleased he could see her rubbing her head from time to time of course due to the sleep lacking a headache is very normal
Althea was feeling very dazey she could barely keep her eyes open and a top of that her head was hurting very badly feeling a strong arm's on her back and under her knees suddenly she wasn't standing on the ground looking up she was facing the Lord gentle yet a playful smile she was about to say something when the Lord placed a finger on her lips as if telling her not to say anything walking to the sofa he sit down with her in his arms now she was sitting on his lap a hand supporting her back and the other went to the back of her head " does it hurt " with very deep gentle voice he asked her
Althea was very shocked to answer but she subconsciously nodded with a widening eyes she wasn't afraid but very shocked " relax your body this will not hurt " he spoke to her as she felt him place his hand at the back of her head massaging it at the beginning only to be replaced with a tingling yet warm feeling her eyes lowering them self subconsciously the pain she was feeling had begun to subside like there was nothing feeling his warm hand on the side of her face her eyes shut open she wanted to move away from his grab but his strong arms won't let her
uniting her hair " Lord k.. " she wanted to stop him but once again he placed his finger on her lips " shhh sleep know you need to rest " running his fingers through her hair he used his power to make her sleep her breath became even her chest rise and fall in a slow movement the Lord continued moving his fingers through her pure diamond-like locks that is something that the Lord had been dreaming about for the past year bringing one lock of her hair close to his lips kissing it then kissing her forehead he stood up with Althea in his arms heading towards his room
