Book 5: Chapter 139

Tafel stared up at the massive golden doors in front of her. She took in a deep breath as she placed her hands against the glossy material. Her muscles tensed, and a grunt echoed out from her mouth as she shoved as hard as she could with both her arms. The doors slid open, and Tafel took a step forward. Her arms were completely stretched out to the sides, but the doors werent fully opened; after all, the doors were designed with a dragons size in mind.

Tafel lowered her arms and looked around. The only source of light came from behind her, illuminating the darkness with a thin column of brightness. In the center of the room, on top of a massive bed, an ocean-blue dragon was curled up with its eyes closed, an expanding and shrinking snot bubble coming out of one of its nostrils.

Tafel stared at the steps leading onto the bed. There were at least four flights of stairs. Tafels horns glowed silver, and two portals opened: one beside her and one on top of the bed. With a single step, Tafel went through the portal and appeared by Vurs side, skipping the tedious process of walking. Her feet sank into the bed as she walked, and if it werent for the blanket supporting her, she was sure the bed would be going up to her knees instead of just her ankles.

Mana swirled in Tafels hand as her horns glowed blue. An icicle appeared in her palm, and she used it to jab Vurs snot bubble. The bubbled popped, the snot freezing in midair before falling to the blanket. Vurs eyes creaked open, and he blinked a few times before his gaze focused on Tafel. He yawned, his mouth gaping wide, the suction causing Tafels hair to flutter forward. Vur closed his mouth and smacked his lips a few times before looking at Tafel. Good morning.

Morning, Vur, Tafel said. Alices wedding starts in a few hours. I woke you up in advance, so you could get ready.

Vurs body shrank, and his scales receded into his skin. His wings and tails retracted, and his claws turned back into nails. He let out another yawn and scratched his belly before looking around. What do I have to get ready?

Tafel stared at Vur. He was naked. For one, you could wear some clothes.

Vur glanced down at himself and frowned. Ill wear pants, but do I have to wear a shirt?Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

Yes, Tafel said. You have to wear a shirt. And a suit. And a tie. Tafel furrowed her brow. I can ask Mr. Edward for a suit if you want. Im sure he has one thatll fit you. Given how obsessed the noble was with Vur, Tafel wouldnt be surprised if the skeleton had a suit that could fit Vur whilst he was polymorphed into a dragon as well.

Vur made a face. Are Grimmy and Leila and Ramon and Gloria wearing suits to the wedding?

Vur scratched his head. Can you wake me up in three and a half hours? I dont need that long to put on a suit.

Tafel stared at Vur. Isnt there anything else youd like to do? she asked. I know you think sleeping is nice and all, but how about reading some books or viewing some pieces of art from time to time? She pointed at Vur again before he could speak. Yes, you can do that in your sleep, but doesnt it give you a different feeling when you do it while awake?

Vur nodded. It makes me tired when I do it while Im awake, he said. When Im asleep, I wont get tired no matter how much I read. I can read for days while sleeping.

Tafel scratched her head. So, you actually do things while youre asleep, right? Sleeping is basically entertainment for you?

Vur nodded again.

And its more fun than anything you can do while youre awake?

Vur shook his head. I cant be with you while Im asleep, he said and wrapped his arm around Tafels shoulder, pulling her in close. Sleeping is great and all, but I like spending time with you more.

Tafels face flushed red, and she pursed her lips. There were plenty of times when you complained about not getting to sleep or not getting enough sleep while I was around.

Vur scratched his nose. I cant help it if I get tired, he said. Even if were having fun on an adventure, we still have to stop to eat. Its the same thing.

I see, Tafel said and leaned her head against Vurs shoulder, poking him with her horns. Alright, Ill wake you up when its time to change and leave then.
