Even if rain poured down on the wedding day, even if his shoes and stockings were soaked, he would not lose his temper with Elowen.

On their wedding night, he would brush her cheek and say, “Ella, you look beautiful today.”

She loved being praised. She would blush every time.

A faint smile curved his lips.

But his body hurt too much. He carefully lowered himself onto his stomach. The immediate priority was healing.

Before drifting off, he called Tristan back. “There’s something you need to handle. It concerns the Duke of Duskmoor.”

At Duskmoor Manor, Elowen had finally stopped crying. A deep sense of gratitude rose in her heart.

Thankfully, in this life, she had married Cassian.

In the face of steady tenderness and love, even deep pain could be thinned out until it faded.

Cassian’s fingers were gentle as he wiped the last traces of tears from her face.

Then, in the quiet stillness of the room, her stomach growled twice. It was so sudden it echoed in the silence.

Elowen flushed red instantly and pulled the blanket over herself as if she could disappear.

Cassian’s voice carried a hint of laughter. “Hungry?”

From under the blanket, she gave a muffled, “Yes”

“What do you want to eat?”

“I’m not sure.”

His hand lightly tapped her head through the covers. “How about I send for something warm?”

She blinked and peeked out, eyes wide. “Cassian, you know how to cook?”

“Picked it up,” he said with a faint smile. “On the ride back with Lieutenant Wren, we were talking. He told me that before his wife married him, she swore she would spoil him with her cooking. In the end, she never once set foot in the kitchens. He is the one who prepares her meals.”

Elowen could not help smiling.

“He said his pasta is her favorite. When she was expecting, she would always ask for a second. helping.”

“That good?”

Cassian nodded. “I picked up a few tricks.” He locked at her. “Want to try?”

She nodded honestly. “Yes.”

Soon they were dressed. Elowen pushed Cassian out of the room.

Four people were on night watch, Mira, Cora, Gerda, and Bran. After what had happened, everyone felt guilty. Some blamed themselves for failing to protect her. Others for not being

present.

Gerda stepped forward. “Your Grace, where are you going this late?”

“She is hungry,” Cassian said calmly.

“I’ll wake the kitchen staff at once.”

“No need,” Cassian replied. “She wants the pasta I make.”

Gerda froze. Since when does the Duke of Duskmoor cook?

The small kitchen in the courtyard had only just been completed and was already in use. Elowen’s medicine had been prepared there these past few days.

Elowen nudged Cassian inside. Thinking of Gerda’s expression, she hesitated. “Have you ever set foot in a kitchen before?”

“No.”

“So this is…”

“My first time.”

She suddenly wondered whether she would actually get pasta tonight.

Cassian looked composed. “I’ve always been quick to learn. Cooking won’t defeat me.”

Elowen had indeed heard that Cassian was a prodigy.
