Chapter 32 - Love is a Losing Battle
As Red entered the room, steam flowed through. The air was thick and hard to breathe but relaxing all the same. The flooring was a golden tiling and in front of him was a huge square bath. It was built into the grown much like a pool. The water looked clear as crystal, being warned by a fire. In each corner of the bath was a stone pillar coming from the ground and touching the ceiling. Red approached the bath and quickly removed his clothes. Naked he slowly walked in to the water, letting out a sigh of relief as it touched his skin. The water came up to his waist, slowly warming him up, relaxing his muscles. He slowly sat down and the water crept up to his neck. Once again he sighed before leaning back again the edge,
"I needed this" he let out with a smile,
Suddenly a voice was heard from behind him,
"Red, may I come in and join you?",
It was Trivia's voice. It sounded soothing to his ears,
"Of course" he replied,
The sound of the door opening and closing was heard before light footsteps slowly approached him. As they got near his back long white hair flickered in his vision. Trivia stepped into the bath keeping her back to him. The tips of her hair touched the water slowly soaking. She was nude. Red glanced over her body. The perfect curves of her chest down to her thighs, the darkly toned smooth skin, truly the body of an archpriestess and a queen. As she turned around, she saw him staring at her with a gleam in his eyes,
"You know, if you keep staring, you're gonna make me blush" she said to him with a jokingly tone,
"Then I would get to see two beautiful things today",
The comment was unexpected and Trivia's face slowly reddened. She laid in the pool, facing Red and placing herself very close to him. Trivia slowly moved towards him and raised her hands. Droplets from the water slowly fell from her fingertips as she placed her hands on his face. Slightly startled, Red straightened his body making him rise a little from the bath, revealing his chest. Her hands slowly moved downwards, first his neck, then his chest and down to his abdomen. She placed her hand there for a second before putting on a serious face,
"What happened?",
"Huh?" Red replied startled,
"I know my fiancé's body better than anyone. You've had a miracle cover up the scar. What happened?" she insisted,
Trivia was looking straight into his eyes. Her beautiful and gentle golden eyes were now showing anger and so was her face,
"I don't know...",
"And what's that supposed to mean?",
"I had a fight with Oblivion" Red said while leaning back,
"THE DRAGON FATHER?" Trivia shouted,
"Yeah. I don't know what happened. As I was about to attack, next thing I know I was laying in grass to the south of the continent. I was helped by someone and apparently they said a dragon tooth was stuck on my stomach" he said gently,
"But I thought Oblivion didn't want part in the war",
"As did I, that's why I was surprised to learn he's working with the Emperor",
"What of The First Empress?" Trivia asked getting closer to Red,
"I don't know...",
Trivia said nothing and just hugged Red. Placing her arms around his neck and coming closer to him,
"Im sorry, but who were you again?" Red asked without emotion in his voice,
Trivia suddenly had a tear run down her left eye but it was contrasted by the gentle smile on her face,
"I'm your future wife",
Suddenly Trivia kissed him. They lips interlocked like the perfect pieces of a puzzle interlocking into shape. Their bodies joined together to the point each others heartbeats was the only sound they could hear,
"You once promised me that no matter how many times you may forget, you would find me and fall in love with me all over again..." Trivia said with a quiver in her voice as tears ran down her face "...and just like I promised you, no matter how many times it may be, no matter for how long it'll be, I'll always say yes",
Trivia's words slowly krept themselves into Red's ears as he slowly fell asleep. Trivia laid on him with her head rested on his chest,
"I love you Red",
"I needed this" he let out with a smile,
Suddenly a voice was heard from behind him,
