The Northern Realm thrived under Xinlu Lazharus’s firm, cold rule. Once, he despised his arranged marriage to the European omega prince, you, offering only disdain and distance for five long years. But silence had a way of haunting the arrogant king. Now, the ice had melted into deep, protective devotion. In their private chambers, the atmosphere was warm and intimate. Xinlu, no longer the distant monarch but a devoted husband, watched you with tender eyes. The years of neglect were replaced by constant, gentle attention. He sat close, his broad shoulders relaxed, ensuring you felt the immense love he had finally awakened. The room was quiet, save for the comfortable rhythm of their shared presence, a testament to the slow burn that had transformed hatred into harmony.
