66 Stinks (1/2)

Mo Rin felt herself falling, and since she was not feeling well, and also felt very exhausted, thus she decided to just let it be.

She even closed her eyes to show the dragon shifters that she did not want to fight. After all, once Lu Meili would be done fixing the seal, and Mo Rin would be still on the ground, she could easily get free to run.

However, instead of the familiar muddy, dirty and cold ground, she was expecting, Mo Rin ended up falling on someone else's arms.

Mo Rin suddenly shrieked and opened her eyes in alarm as the arm had caused her to feel the electrical shock again on her back this time, where her skin was exposed.

She then stiffened, almost feeling frightened because he turned her around to face his chest. This removed any contact with her wounded back.

”Your Highness!” All the dragons shifters around said respectfully in unison.

Mo Rin ignored the loud greeting that sounded more like them calling out the man, who was currently holding the dirty her.

She tried to get away from Long Kael who had just appeared out of nowhere. The arms that were circled around her waist were way stronger than her, thus Mo Rin was not able to escape.

Since that was the case, she had no choice but to lean on his chest shamelessly. 'You are already being kind enough, might as well do it some more.'

Honestly, Mo Rin wanted to puke at him, because that was what she felt like doing. 'Should I, or should I not?'

Mo Rin also decided to let Lu Meili deal with the red pendant on her own. 'I need to get out of here. But how?'

With that in mind, Mo Rin suddenly lifted her knee strongly to hit Long Kael on the nuts. Sadly, he was as always, on guard because before her knee could reach its destination, he swiftly moved back and kicked her feet.

Mo Rin glared at him. While Long Kael's lips twitched slightly, looking at her with amusement. No one knew if he was smiling or trying to suppress his annoyance.

His hand reached her back and surprisingly, he removed the rope that was tying her hands with his claw. Then he removed the chain from around her body.

The action made Mo Rin surprised and she thought that he was letting her go.

Sadly, instead of doing that, Long Kael circled his arms around her further. This time they were tighter than before. Because of that, it was easier for their skins to touch.

While Mo Rin was thinking of ways to get away from Long Kael, the other beings who were able to see what was going on were dumbfounded, mouths hanging open.

Firstly, the king would never bother to look at a dirty disheveled woman, which was more with saving one.

Second, it was the first time they were able to see another emotion on the king's face aside from murderous intent or boredom.

Thirdly, not only did he save a woman, but he was also keeping her so close to him.

”Ahm… Your Highness, can you take your hands off me? The magic in your body… It is too painful. I will die before I get a proper trial.” Mo Rin asked with gritted teeth as she tried to endure the pain of their contact, to her wound. She was not looking at him, but by looking at her, it was obvious that she was not lying.
