Chapter 223
Perfect. He could finally give Nina those things tonight.
“My lord, we’ve brought everything you asked for. Please take a look p>
Aviel accepted it with a smile. “I’ll check it later. I need to finish Nina’s snacks first p>
“No kidding. His cooking is even better than ours now,” Viann added.
“If I could find a female like Nina, I’d happily become like this too,” Taor chimed in.
There was only one Nina. He could forget about it.
“My lord, everything is prepared,” the male replied.
Aviel walked in carrying a tray. “Nina, are you hungry? Want some snacks p>
“Alright p>
After listening, he nodded firmly. “Your plan is excellent. I see no issues p>
Idir shook his head. “None. Your plan is very thorough p>
They all shook their heads as well. “No objections p>
She rubbed her eyes, feeling a bit strained from staring too long.
Aviel picked up a piece of pastry and held it to her lips. “Take a break p>
Meanwhile, Idir and the others continued studying the map, committing the route to memory.
Night slowly fell.
After dinner, he took Nina’s hand and spoke softly, “Nina, can Odian put the babies to sleep tonight? I want to show you something p>
Nina let out a soft laugh and nodded. She had Odin handle the imprinting, gave him a few instructions, then followed Aviel out.
A strange flicker of loss passed through Idir’s heart.
The moment the door opened, a flood of golden light dazzled her eyes. The room was lavish beyond measure. Every surface was covered in gemstones and crystals, glowing even without lamplight.
Aviel guided her inside, stepping over the scattered jewels, then shut the door behind them.
“Nina, do you like them p>
Who wouldn’t love beautiful gems? The dragon clan truly lived extravagantly.
Aviel’s expression softened with satisfaction.
With these gems, it was at least worthy of her.
“Nina, I had Pado and the others pick these out for you. These are the finest and most expensive pieces. From now on, no female will ever dare show off her jewelry in front of you p>
He knew Nina was neither lacking nor one to compete, yet as a male, he would never allow his mate to suffer even the slightest slight.
Aviel’s lips lifted slightly. Then he brought out even more items, one after another, until the room was nearly filled.
“This is only a small portion of my dowry. When you come with me to Dragon City later, I’ll give you access to the entire dragon treasury p>
As he spoke, he handed her a key. “This is the treasury key. Keep it for now p>
Aviel pressed it into her hand. “What’s mine is yours. A mate’s assets should belong to his female p>
Had she just married into a mountain of gold?
“Nina, this is a gift every dragon king presents to his mate. It is crafted by our own hands using the most valuable gems in existence p>
Nina gently traced the crown, starlight flickering in her eyes. “It’s beautiful. Put it on me p>
“Alright p>
Nina stood before the mirror, admiring herself for a long moment, utterly delighted.
After waiting for quite some time, Aviel could no longer hold back. He stepped forward, wrapping an arm around her waist.
Nina turned and embraced him. “Then help me take off the crown p>
Aviel quickly removed it and set it aside.
She gave a small nod.
He kissed her at once, claiming the lips that had tempted him for so long. His kiss was both commanding and tender, one hand cradling the back of her neck as he lost himself in her, the other sweeping aside the furs beneath them. Crystals scattered across the floor with a soft clatter.
Warmth spread across every inch of her skin as their forms drew closer, entwining p>
His fingers traced her brows and eyes, his gaze soft and lingering. “Nina, you’re awake p>
The movement tightened something in him. “Don’t…or you won’t be getting up anytime soon p>
She lifted her face slightly. Morning light spilled across her features, catching the faint flush at the corners of her eyes. When she opened them, they were still hazy, carrying a subtle, captivating allure.
Before she could respond, he captured her lips again.
The other males looked displeased.
Aviel merely raised a brow, ignoring them entirely, his expression brimming with satisfaction as he carried Nina into the room.
Two at once really was…intense.
That afternoon, she went to see Zena again and discussed their plan in detail.
