Love Agreement With The King

Chapter 275 - Cheers To Us

It had been one week since Roselyn and John's practice, Roselyn's child was now about a month old and her belly was slightly visible now which made Roselyn realize even more she had a chance and that it wasn't only a dream.

She stood in front of the mirror, standing in profile to get a better sight of the little bump of her belly. Maybe people who didn't see her in a while about wouldn't even notice her bump, yet Roselyn felt overwhelmed in joy. That miracle was happening to her.

After all, life wasn't always complicated and finally, their efforts were getting some recognition.

Meantime, in that week, Abigail's som grows, even more, he was even taller and more muscled than all the other teenagers boys, despite Abigail recommended him to hide his identity and true nature when he met children like him he was always been excluded or called out because they found him different from the other children, from time to time they even claimed he made up a fake identity only because he looked so much grown for the age he said he was.

John gathered all this squad and was practicing with Simon and his army. This time even Ethan took part.

John introduced his team to Simon's team and explained to them the deal the two leaders made.

None of them dared to oppose John so the training started a few minutes later. At first, John divided the groups into two squads and asked them to fight in the team.

Then as a second round, John separated them and told them to fight one on one so that they would train both working alone and working in squads.

They tried different strategies to experiment with what their best attacks were and what they lacked in defense. After about 3 hours of training, John thanked them all and send them back home.

Ethan walked with John back in his house as few maids remained with Roselyn to check on her and keep her distance from the other creatures.

"I haven't seen you in a while!" John exclaimed happy to see his brother, he poured some wine in his glass and headed it to him.

"Thank you. You involved Simon and his men in the battle, years ago you wouldn't even ask your trusty people for help." Ethan commented he sat down on the sofa and took the glass to drink few sips from it.

John chuckled sitting with him, "yes, but we need extra help. I will also call a few of my old friends. I haven't heard them in a while."

"From what I discovered, they don't plan on using poisoned animals to fight. They seem to have a deeper purpose. But more snakes had been freed from supernatural underworld so we should speed up the attack." Ethan sighed pretending he didn't know the real purpose of why animals had been freed. Hearing him John looked blankly thoughtful, he took another sip of wine before he darted his gaze back to Ethan.

"Then we have to stop them before they can fulfill their main purpose." John said, "we have to attack them the sooner we can."

Ethan nodded, "I will keep my investigation and will try to gather more important information."

John smiled, he leaned closer to him to hug him. "Thank you. I am glad I have someone I can fully trust on. I would have never believed we would get this close." John whispered, Ethan's heart began to race as he slightly felt worried and guilty for keeping something from his bother.

Ethan forced a smile departing from the hug and limiting himself to nod, "thank you." He replied in a low tone of voice.

"How is dad? I haven't seen him in a while, I was busy with practice. Tell him I miss him and as soon as this will be over I will visit him." John said while Ethan hinted a smile.

"I will tell him. What about Roselyn? I haven't seen her in a while." Ethan gazed around the room with a quizically look.

John cleared his voice, he had to flinch away because he didn't feel like lying staring straight into his brother's eyes. "I don't trust supernatural creatures so I asked the maids to check on her if something happened."

That wasn't fully a lie, it was true he didn't trust any Kratez creature because he knew how a banshee could be dangerous and could create chaos and scandal. So that was more like half-lie, so John didn't feel completely guilty about it. Ethan seemed to believe it, maybe because the reason John gave him was quite plausible considering Roselyn had human and supernatural blood.

Ethan stood up to hug John and recommended him to be careful, then John accompanied him toward the door and remembered him to say bye to his father from him. They shared an understanding gaze as they smiled at each other for some instants, then Ethan turned around to open the door and leave.

After about 20 minutes, when Ethan was already gone Roselyn returned home accompanied by the maid.

John meantime had prepared a full table of food, with candles and flowers to have a romantic dinner with his wife. As planned with John the day before, the maids left them alone leaving Roselyn to walk into the house on their own.

John called Rose from the kitchen asking her to reach him.

"I'm coming," Roselyn screamed back to him as she walked toward the kitchen.

As soon as she entered, a smile curved her lips and she was in awe seeing the table filled with candles and red roses. The table stood on a red carpet made of petals and the light of the room was soft due to the candles, the floral scent of it filled the room.

It was a small gesture yet for Roselyn it meant everything.

"John! Thank you." That's all Roselyn said still surprised and in disbelief, in such a short time he prepared a romantic dinner. He always found a special way to surprise her.

He speeded near to her chair to move it far from the table so that she could sit down. Then he poured some juice in her glass and lightened the candle which was still unlightened, and placed it in the center of the table.

Then he walked back to his chair and smiled from there to Rose.

"To us," John said lifting his glass to cheer. Roselyn lifted her glass full of juice, it was almost weird for her to see John pour something else besides wine in her glass. He suffocated the giggle for that considerate caring gesture.

"To us and our family.." She replied smiling as her heart warmed in joy.
