It was evening when we left the adventurers guild. The sky was turning dark and the amount of people outside decreased. The people were preparing for something, looks like a festival I wonder who or what for.

We quicken our pace towards the inn. If there really was a festival incoming then the inns would be full from the influx of people. Hoping we weren’t too late we arrive at the inn The Sleeping Bear. Entering the inn we were hit with the aroma of food.

“Welcome customers! Are you here to eat or to stay the night?” (Inn lady)

Turning towards the voice there was the inn lady. A slightly chubby woman with glossy black hair. On top of her head were two small animal ears. She was bear-kin.

“Hi, we would like to stay the night please.” (Angelica)

“You’re in luck! We only have one room left.” (Inn lady)

The inn lady guided us towards the desk and told us the pricing for our stay. The stay cost us 10 silver coins a day and came with a meal and access to public baths. The inn lady then guided us to our room. The room was large and had all the necessary furniture.

Instead of staying awake till morning we both decided it would be best to sleep. Although we didn’t need to sleep, but staying awake for the next ten or more hours with nothing to do would be extremely boring and put us to sleep anyway.

Laying down on the bed I started to get comfortable but then I came to a realisation.

“Angelica! Do you want me to make an extra bed?” (Skyler)

“E-eh, n-no it’s f-fine plus there no room for an e-e-extra b-bed anyway.” (Angelica)

Laying down on the left side of the bed, I try to remember the last time I had any intimacy with someone. Realising all I have done in the eons I have been alive is nothing but work, I smile wryly at myself. My position didn’t really help either. Other than the angels who came to my side only recently, others kept themselves away because of my power/position. Personally I don’t see why everyone’s afraid, sure I can destroy a universe without putting in any effort but I would never do it. Well I wouldn’t do it without reason. Closing my eyes I decide to lose myself in my thoughts.

ANGELICA POV

It was the end of the first day my lord spent outside his home. I kept a close watch on him and saw how he genuinely liked exploring new places. Entering the city today he was full of curiosity as to who and how the people lived here.

At the adventurers guild I saw how my lord was proud of me when I easily defeated that man. While everyone else was shocked at my abilities to beat that man in such a short time, my lord knew the outcome and had a proud smile upon his face. Walking back over to him and seeing his smile I wish I could freeze that moment in time forever, but I’m sure more opportunities will arise.

We then headed towards the inn, we guessed there was going to be a festival occurring in the near future. So we hurried our steps hoping to still get a room.

Arriving at the inn we got lucky with obtaining the last room. The inn lady kept smiling at me which I thought was weird. We headed to our room which was on the large side. The bed was huge and could easily fit two to three people.

On her way out the inn lady put her hand on my shoulder. I felt no evil or hostile intent so I let her continue as I was genuinely interested in what she had to say.

“I gave you the comfiest bed in the inn! Have fun!” She whispered in my ear with cheeky smile on her face.

My face heated up instantly and I started to blush hard. Thinking my lord had heard the inn lady on her way out I looked over in his direction, but luckily he was laying on the bed getting comfortable.

“Angelica! Do you want me to make an extra bed?” My lord said suddenly as he realised there was only one bed.

Uwahh what do I do?! How can I sleep on the s-s-same bed? But this chance might never come again!

“E-eh, n-no it’s f-fine plus there no room for an e-e-extra b-bed anyway.” I said trying not to stutter.

Laying down on my side of the bed I felt super nervous. I knew nothing would happen but I still felt hopeful. Gathering my courage I turned towards my lord hoping to see his peaceful sleeping face. Instead I saw him smiling, however it wasn’t a smile someone makes when they are happy. Being by his side for so many years I knew that smile was full of loneliness. Every time I see him smile like this it hurts my chest.

When he fell asleep I inched closer to his body hoping he wouldn’t wake up. If anyone else was this close to him I’m sure he would wake up, I’m glad he pulls down his shields around me. My heart is beating stupidly fast. I fear he can hear it. I slowly reach for his glossy silver hair.

“So soft.” I mumble.

Realising that I’m getting carried with ruffling his hair I had to force myself to stop. Calming myself down I started to grow tired and sleepy. Without realising what I was doing I snuggled myself into the side of my lord and fell asleep.

Skyler POV

Waking up my right side felt heavy and warm. I slowly opened my eyes only to be astounded by seeing Angelica snuggling with me.

The angels I created naturally feel loyal to me. Each angel has their own emotions and personalities which they nurture themselves. Some angels are loving and merciful like Zadkiel the angel of mercy and others love carnage and destruction like Hasmed the angel of annihilation.

Angelica she is an angel not known by many. The reason for that is whenever she appears she leaves behind no witnesses. The angels/her comrades call her the angel of slaughter.

Right now the angel of slaughter was snuggled up in my arms. Staring at Angelicas cute face I realised something. I’m not alone anymore. Angelica doesn’t have to care about me as much as she does. As my right hand she only has to follow my orders she doesn’t have to care for me as much as she does. Knowing this I felt incredibly warm inside.

Looking out the window I can see that the sun will rise soon. As there was no reason to wake up early I felt like going back to sleep. Slowly turning on my side I face Angelica. Stroking her fluffy crimson hair I gently pull her into my embrace and let myself drift off to sleep once again. Little did I know the angel in my arms was wide awake shocked beyond belief that she was being hugged by her beloved lord. Her dreams coming true she fell asleep the happiest shes ever been.
