Chapter 62. The Welcome

Victoria’s POV

I looked at the guards who were bowing in front of me before smiling at them.

“Please stand up. Your love is all I need. You don’t have to bow to me like that,” I said, and they immediately returned to their previous guarding positions. We waited for someone to open the gates for us, and it wasn’t long before we heard footsteps.

A man clad in a gray suit came from behind us and clapped his hands twice in the air. I was waiting for the gates to open at his claps, but the doors didn’t open; rather, a small bag of rose petals above us was released, making the petals shower down on our heads. Giggling at the sight as the petals fell, I swirled under them, feeling happy after such a long time. It has been so long since someone surprised me like this, I thought, all the stress from earlier dissolving into thin air.
