Dark Magus Returns

Chapter 575 Sleep Together?

The celebration in the city was a big one. Clans from all over were celebrating and they werenʼt shy about spending their coin.

The businesses run by the regular citizens were working hard on delivering choice food, entertainment, and more. A wedding of this scale was only something that would happen once in a lifetime.

On top of that, although Sha Mo didnʼt get what he wanted today, there was still a chance that he could get something in the future.

A large jug of alcohol sat in front of him, lifting it up he gulped down almost a single mouthful before wiping the foam away from his mouth and placing it on the table.

”I guess today is still a big day for the Behemoth Clan, everyone make sure you collect what is needed after todayʼs event!” Sha Mo ordered.

”Yes, sir!” The other clan members said, lifting their drinks in the air.

Repton City was the biggest city in the Demonic Faction, and the clan that was in charge of it was the Behemoth Clan.

Because of that, they would be getting a cut from every establishment and its sales today, which allowed Sha Moʼs mood to calm down a little.

As the celebrations continued into the night, people started to venture into their own sections of the city including Anna, who no longer could stay with Raze, for the time being, but she was sure that she would catch up to him eventually, and what were the chances that Zon would come and meet him during such a day.

With it all, Raze and Rayna had decided to retire into the large and well-established Red Dragon Inn. A large tiered pond filled with special fountains led up to the grand staircase.

Standing by the entrance door were the two brothers. Playing guard duty was a job they rarely did. There wasnʼt a price that could even make them do such a job, but it was a request from their father so they complied.

Inside the Red Dragon Inn, and on the top floor, Raze and Rayna were the only two that were in a room together.

Rayna was sitting on the edge of the bed, while Raze was drawing the curtains to have a bit of privacy from the outside.

”Theyʼre quite loud still, my guess is they will continue till the morning, so it might be hard to get some sleep.” Raze moved from the window and onto the other edge of the bed.

”You know we donʼt have to do it.” Rayna said, her face red and still looking away. ”I know in a traditional sense itʼs a requirement… but this is all just to help the both of us out. My father wonʼt be able to tell if we did or didnʼt.”

Raze was silent for a while, and Rayna was afraid that her heart was beating so loud that he could hear it. She took deep breaths trying to calm it down, but none of it was working.

”Thank you…” Raze answered.

It summed up Raynaʼs thoughts. That Raze didnʼt have any feelings for her, but that was fine for her, it would be fine.

Still, she slipped off the wedding dress when heading to the bathroom and changed into soft gold silk clothing.

Raze had gone after her and done the same. He then quickly went under the bed sheets and closed his eyes.

Rayna proceeded to do the same, but her heart was still unable to settle.

”Is this your first time sleeping with a woman?” Rayna asked.

”No.” Raze answered still with his eyes closed.

”Oh… no wonder youʼre not as nervous, it is the first time for me.” Rayna answered as her voice went quiet towards the end.

She had almost forgotten, right now Raze wasnʼt wearing the mask. So she was able to see his youthful face.

She thought that he was like her, everything they were experiencing today was a first for them. Yet that wasnʼt the case, Raze was an old soul, a soul that was even older than her.

Even if the two of them were to get together, to have true feelings for each other on Raynaʼs end, it would be only her that was experiencing everything for the first time.

The lights were dark, and Rayna could feel that there was a large space between them. Rather than lying on her back, she shuffled so she was on her side.

She was in a giant bed. Around 6 more people could fit in between her and Raze right now, and perhaps even more.

Created for the various sizes of Pagna warriors like that of Sha Mo.

ʼThe distance between us is so far, you donʼt even feel like being next to me, why do you have to sleep on the edge of the bed?ʼ

Since the day Rayna had been saved, she had been drawn to this person. Right now, Raze didnʼt even have his black hair, instead it was white in color.

It was the same as when she first met him. Her heart started to beat again, and before she knew it, she was shuffling over, inching her way moving closer, and closer to him.

Each time she got closer she could feel her heart pounding harder. It was even a little painful for her. Taking a big gulp in she started to move again, and now that she was close, in the darkness she could see something.

Razeʼs bottom lip, it was quivering, it was shaking. While sweat was running down the side of his head.

It wasnʼt noticeable from afar because the rest of his body wasnʼt moving, he was frozen still, like a heavy weight was on top of his chest.

”Get off… me.” Was the small mumbles that Rayna could hear.

The quivering of his bottom lip started to shake even more, and the pillowcase had turned a shade darker from the sweat.

ʼIs he having a nightmare, and a pretty terrible one as well… I should wake him up.ʼ

Sitting up, and moving the quilt off from her body, she waited a few more moments before doing so. Wondering if Raze would get out of this state himself.

Yet the quivering didnʼt stop, and the sweating continued.

”Raze… Raze..” Rayna called out a little louder. ”Get up… youʼre having a nightmare!”

Saying these words, they had no reaction at all, so she just decided to do what was only natural. With her hands she grabbed onto the side of his body and started to give him a shake.

”Raze wake up, youʼre starting to scare me now!” Rayna said.

After a couple of pushes, Razeʼs arms latched onto Raynaʼs, before she knew it she was forcefully pulled forward, but it wasnʼt the sweet romantic moment she had hoped for.

Instead, Razeʼs hand went right around her neck.

ʼHoly crap, his grip is strong, heʼs using a lot of force!ʼ

Rayna immediately needed to use her own Qi in order to protect herself otherwise her throat would have been crushed.

Before she knew it though, it wasnʼt the only thing she had to worry about.

The veins on Razeʼs arms were bulging, they were moving up and down his arm as if they were alive, and at the same time, Rayna could feel her energy quickly fading away.
