”T-This is not so I can hold it in”
Duarte looked up with an embarrassed expression
This is the first she saw him with such an embarassed, helpless expression The Duarte now is much more cuter than the usual ruthless him
Ah, that's right While he was settling his business, she'll conveniently slip away
”Don't think about using this opportunity to slip away”
Duarte grinned, and dragged her to a nearby room He coldly warned her
”Wait for et that you have yet to heal from your wound It's impossible for you to escape with that shoulder of yours”
She watched hi a bit peeved, she looked out the door True enough, there are plenty of guards everywhere she looked If it is not because of her injury, these guards would be fodders
She finally accept that escape is futile and looked around the room This room looked like a lobby There is a beautifully carved Roman couch Next to that couch is a small table and on it, a vase with a rose in it
Outside the , theto get impatient, she heard footsteps from behind her
”Duarte, you've been gone for far too long”
As she tattled, she turned towards him Their eyes met, and she turned white as sheet
That crazy e a white rose while he smiled at her It is undeniable that he is a handsohow scared she was, Lucius slowly and gently kissed the white rose in his hands That motion of his looked benevolent to those who saw He then raised it high, allowing the ht to reflect beneath the white petals Lucius then threw the rose her way
”W-Why are you here?”
Lin Ling was so surprised, she felt that this is a stupid question to start off with
”This is my palace”
He replied smartly and walked towards her a few steps
Scared, she stepped back away from him She has never looked forward to Duarte's return this much before
”H-Hey! Don't come any closer!”
Seeing how callously he approached her, she shook with fear
”Oh? Why are you so afraid? My Lion's Maiden?”
He chuckled and reached out to her
”Black hair and black eyes This is the first I've seen a girl like you”
”U-Uhirls in your possession, my looks aren't really impressive at all ”
Her heart stilled The clockworks in her head is spinning furiously to escape this predicament
”Hirls like you”
He squinted his eyes, and smiled creepily
Her instincts was screaer She wants to retreat but her back is already leaning against the wall There is no escape
”Your Majesty, Duarte will be back real soon---”
She had yet to finish her sentence when he forcefully hugged her She panicked and her hands reached out to grab anything she could get But she grabbed only air Both her hands was quickly held down by the other party
The next thing she knew, she was thrown onto the soft couch
