Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 1181

The castle was buzzing with more life than it used to, a big change from when it was practically off-limits to everyone. Brielle picked up on the housekeeper, a middle-aged woman, who always seemed to look at King with a motherly warmth. The housekeeper had her own room, a place Brielle hadn't ventured into yet. If she had, she'd have discovered a lab inside.

That night, a nagging headache made Brielle turn in early. She woke up in the middle of the night to find the other side of the bed cold and empty. She threw on a robe and found King standing on the balcony, lost in his thoughts under the moonlight. "Aren't you cold?" she asked, breaking the silence.

King, surprised by her presence, revealed his anxiety about turning back into Max. His aunt, the housekeeper, was working on a potion to boost Max's mental strength, promising it'd be ready in a month. The thought of disappearing once Max returned weighed heavily on him, fearing Brielle wouldn't miss him.

Despite these worries, King treasured every moment with Brielle, from holding her as they slept to their little adventures outside the castle.
