Chapter 9

A few hours later, bright sunlight shining in through vertical vents fell on Mia’s face and woke her. “Gah.” She whimpered and flung her arm over her face to avoid the rays.

“Wake up, love. Its morning.” Barghurr leaned over the bed, fully dressed in khaki-coloured pants and white shirt, showing off his tanned vitality.

She blinked blearily at him and complained in a husky voice, “It’s too bright in here.”

“Lionhaeme has very few hours of darkness. The sun sets late and rises early. Come now, it is time to explore your new home.” His tone of jovial enthusiasm tugged at her, and she sat up with an effort, the sheet to her chest and stared at him, not used to gentlemen viewing her before she’d performed her morning toilette.

He lifted an eyebrow at her drowsy state and took control. Lifting her as she was, covered in a bedsheet, he deposited her in the washroom and warned her not to take too long. When she returned, he personally dressed her, ignoring her protests. The outfit he arrayed her in was similar to what she’d seen the lionesses wear yesterday. A long, transparent dress of gold worn over white breast-bands and a small split-skirt that barely covered her bottom.

As Barghurr brushed her hair with an ivory hairbrush, she peered down at herself, scandalised. Everyone could see her navel. The side-slit up to her upper thigh allowed for free movement but also showed her thighs to the world.

A light kiss was pressed to her ear, and a muscled forearm with white shirt rolled to the elbow appeared before her. “Take my hand?”

She placed her small hand in his, and they reappeared the central room of his mansion. The disorienting sensation was missing this time. Perhaps she was getting used to this magical transportation business.

“Let me show you where you’ll be living from now on.” He sounded eager to show her his home.

Mia dropped his hand and walked to the middle of the hall. Built of a smooth, creamy wood-like material, Barghurr’s mansion was airy and sprawling, with scattered, colourful rugs, stunning artwork and windows and skylights of a strange, crystalline material. The vista outside showed trees with unusual blade-edged leaves in shades of yellow, red and brown. The grass was long, yellow-green and grew up to the edge of the forest. There were orbs that hung high above but were now dull. She recalled the bright orbs of last night.

“What are these?” she asked, pointing to one.

“They are made of a type of crystal that we make in Lionhaeme. The crystal is used to store magic and will light up any dark place. They burn much brighter than candles and do not need replenishment.” he explained.

Interesting.

“Do such devices use your magic?”

“The entire realm is powered by my magic. However, many lions live on sequestered homesteads all over Lionhaeme. In their homes, they rely on their own magic for their needs. But it is true that no family collectively even comes close to matching the power of my family.
