Chapter 231:

Caden poured all his intense emotions into his actions, knowing that Alicia couldn't handle too many things at once. A two-on-one rhythm was set. For every two rounds, they rested for an hour. The long winter night stretched on for more than ten hours, and Caden made sure to use the time efficiently, meeting his needs without overtaxing Alicia. Despite his attempts to be considerate, she fell into a deep sleep in the morning.

Caden, for his part, only slept for two hours before waking up. He accepted the breakfast served by the innkeeper, who couldn't help but notice his energy. You have impressive stamina, young man! She commented, amazed that after such an intense night, he was already on his feet.

Yes. We'll be back in a couple of days, Caden replied.

Gerry let out a sigh of relief, but then he caught something unusual in Caden's tone. It's already afternoon. Why do you sound like you just woke up? You've fallen asleep

Yes, I slept a little today, Caden replied, sounding cheerful.

Gerry scoffed: You've been put under a spell by Alicia. Your time. It's usually more valuable than gold, and yet here you are, lingering in bed.

Caden laughed. That's pretty accurate.
