Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Chapter 879: Youth Is Wonderful

Orion's drowsiness vanished instantly. He pulled Aveline into his arms. "Aveline, what's wrong? Did I snore last night and wake you up?"

Aveline chuckled softly at his concern. "You don't snore at all."

When Orion slept, he was quiet, like a prince in a deep slumber. His golden hair and fair skin gave him an almost ethereal quality, as if he belonged in a painting.

"That's good. I was worried I might have disturbed you. But why are you upset? Is it because I woke up late?"

Aveline's anger from earlier, caused by Celestia, dissipated immediately. "Orion, I'm not upset because of you."

"Oh no, the sun is already up! I'm sorry, Aveline. I overslept." Orion glanced outside at the crimson sun hanging high in the sky.

Seeing his apologetic expression, Aveline couldn't help but smile. "Who says we can't enjoy it? This is the perfect spot to watch the sunrise."

She reached for his hand and led him to the balcony. This stargazing room was built at a considerable height, offering breathtaking views.

"The view here isn't as expansive as the observation deck," Orion remarked.

"Every angle shows a different kind of beauty. Who says the observation deck is the best? I like it here. Watching the sunrise with you makes it the most beautiful," Aveline said softly.

"Aveline..." Orion leaned down and kissed her.

The orange-red sunlight broke through the darkness, scattering golden rays across the world. The light fell on the young couple, locked in an embrace, creating a moment of perfect harmony.

Though this trip had been interrupted by Celestia, both Aveline and Orion had gained something valuable.

Aveline came to terms with her feelings, while Orion found the love he had been searching for.

They spent the morning exploring the valley, leaving only after lunch.

At the parking lot, they ran into Celestia and her family. Aveline chose not to tell Orion about the previous night's events-she didn't care to gossip behind people's backs.
