Chapter 180: Alexander's Woes Part 2

Alexander returned the hug and planted a light peck on her forehead. This feeling is probably one thing he needed right now. "Is she asleep?" 

"Yeah, she misses you," Sophie said softly as she pulled away from her husband and moved aside. She gestured for him to enter.

Alexander agreed quietly before he closed the door and made his way to the bed where Anya lay, sleeping soundly. 

Alexander sat next to her and stared at her, watching her peaceful expression. Even in her sleep, she looks angelic with a small smile decorating her lips. He reached out and stroked some strands of hair from her face gently. 

Peaceful was the expression written on his daughter's face. He wished that it would be the case forever. Just watching her reminds him of a time when he swore to protect his family. However, he failed at that recently. Sending his sisters to the Yamato Empire where hostility exists between his Empire and theirs.
