The night of the celebration continued, and Darius watched on happily as his wife had a good time with her family. As much as he wanted to already have some privacy with her, he knew just how much his wife had missed her family.
"Look at you still smiling like that despite being all alone," Nikolai teased him as he approached.
"Well, I couldn't be more proud," Darius boasted.
Nikolai nodded as he stared in the direction where Xen's family had gathered. Currently, the new Queen was drinking and talking with Darius's mother, Freya, Jayra, Bartos, and Gideon.
"A Nephilim…" Nikolai hummed. "Since when did you become aware that she's not completely human?"
"Hmm, she told me about it way before our training started," Darius replied.
"How fortunate of you to have a wife that trusts you even before you two got married," Nikolai remarked with a sigh.
