234. Intuition of the Queen

The dragon-powered lights of the kingdom’s buildings reflected into Eloise’s eyes, filling the already rich brown color of her iris. 

Andrey’s eyes explored each wall and corner of the room, expecting to find a clock somewhere, but failing to do so, he vacillated, “At what time does the sun come up?” 

The eighteen-years-old princess’ soft lips moved ever-gently, “It should come up exactly at six o’clock.” 

“Aha… And what time is it now?” Andrey slowly moved back as Eloise’s arms wrapped around his. 

“It’s somewhere around four.” her reply came almost instantaneously.

“Um…” he looked at her eyes, which were as if sealed into his, “Don’t you think there’s a lot of time until then?”
