When Edward woke up the next morning, he stretched slightly and yawned, but his body suddenly stiffened.
The softness beneath him right now was completely different from the roughness of the animal skin mattress. Edward couldn't help but widen his eyes, his entire snake body standing erect, letting out a vigilant "hiss".
"Be good, little one, it's still early, sleep a bit longer."
A soft hand covered Edward's cool body, instinctively making him want to take a bite. Fortunately, rationality eventually overcame emotion; Edward's body softened slightly, pretending to act spoiled as he nuzzled his head against that hand.
The little snake acted spoiled with a soft, milky voice: "My Lord, you finally returned. I missed you to death~"
