Chapter 376: Future plans_Part 2

"Nothing will happen to them," Rohan said with a dark calmness. "If the humans of Aragonia decide to go to war against the vampires, then we will leave for the mountains and stay there together with Rav and Evenly. We can expand the cottage into a bigger building and make it our permanent home. You liked it there, didn’t you?"

Rohan had thought through everything before he wrote that report, and he knew the only way to save his family was by letting the two lands fight their war. The vampire king had forced him into signing away his rights, making him swear that he would never have the throne and never have a child. If that king ever discovered that Rohan had not kept to those words he had given on paper, then he would surely come after his family.

Meanwhile, the humans in Aragonia had sent Belle to spy in Nightbrook. If they ever found out what she had truly done instead of spying, they would also punish her. But if the two lands became consumed with war and turned on each other, killing and destroying themselves, then nobody would care where Rohan and Belle had gone. They would finally be free of the clutch of both lands, free to live their lives without being hunted.

The reason he had not remained in that cottage back then was not because he found the life too small or demeaning for him, but because he had needed to leave and search for answers about his wife. Now that he had a clear idea of where to begin in order to free her from everything Isabelle was causing, he could take them back there once everything was settled and she was safe from every threat. If he was going to live away from both lands, he wanted to do it knowing his family would never live in fear of lacking anything or of being hunted down.

He would take every single one of his possessions with him and start afresh there once everything had been cleared out.

It was always best to eliminate a future threat before escaping. And if the two lands chose to fight their war, then it would no longer be his business. The only people he cared about would never be caught in it. The mountains were far away from both lands, untouched and secluded, a safe place to live and raise a family.

He watched as Belle relaxed back into his arms at the mention of the mountains. "I like it there so much," she admitted softly. Though she knew many lives might be lost if a war happened, Rohan was right. The king had known what he would risk by starting such a war, and if he truly chose to ignite it, then it should not be their burden to carry.

Rohan also sighed internally when she did not argue about the lives that would be lost. He realized how much his wife had indeed changed, from trying to save everyone, to now becoming more like him in certain ways. Unless it concerned the people he cared about, it was no longer their business.

"I miss the cottage anyway," Belle went on, her voice carrying a wistful warmth as she spoke. "And if we are to live there permanently, I want the kitchen expanded so Evenly and I can both use it. I could teach her how to cook and bake. We will need a small piano room there so Angel can to learn play. I also want to grow more flowers in the garden. By the way, are there still people caring for the animals we left behind?" she asked, lifting her eager gaze to his face.

"Yes, I sent and paid two men anonymously to work and feed the animals. And I will make sure to send more people to work on expanding the building, just as you want," Rohan promised with a low chuckle as he nuzzled against her neck. "Anything else you would want to add there? We can start planning it beforehand so things could be ready before we move there."

Belle turned fully to him, slipping her hand inside his parted shirt to stroke and caress his bare chest as she thought about what else she wanted there.

Though in the process, she was unintentionally arousing her husband. Her fingers found his firm nipple and teased it idly, causing him to groan low in his throat.

He reached out to clasp her hand, pressing it down to stop the torment while she did her thinking silently, knowing that if she continued to arouse him, it would only lead to torment.

They couldn’t do anything tonight, not with their son here, and not with the fact that she had just come back to him after he had almost lost her.

Rohan realized she didn’t even seem to notice what she was doing, nor that he had stopped her, as her eyes slowly brightened with the light of a thought that must have settled in her mind.
