Chapter 205 - Yes, Just This Once (2/2)

Lifen wanted to retort, but held her tongue. Disagreeing might only worsen her situation. She had to get out from wherever she was as soon as possible. ”Fine.”

”Keep your word.”

”I will. I won't leave your side until we'll clarify this…,” she lifted a hand, ”this relationship or whatever.”

”Good.” He said, pulling a fine cloth from his hanging wardrobe. He dressed up in no time. ”Come here. Hold my hand and we'll go out.” He extended a hand.

”No, I'll just stay here and bring me out.” She placed her hands behind her.

His mouth opened but stopped short. He heard Xian Lang's threats in his mind, and it gave him a headache. He felt ashamed for allowing his heart to swerve when he was supposed to be outside, defending his people. Yet, his desires caught him. Prince Zelmer further saw that she was her weakness. However, he didn't tell or show her.

He looked up at the ceiling, his brows furrowed, and strode in hurried steps toward her. She stepped back fast, but he pinned her at the wall. His hands slightly slapped the walls beside her ears, while his lips almost touching hers.

”Stop. Please. I can't bring you out if I'm not holding your hand. Besides, I'm a man of my word. As promised, I won't hurt you.” His piercing eyes told her she was serious and wouldn't accept no for an answer. Hence, she relcutantly nodded. ”Good. Now, the situation outside is not in my favor.

His statement gave her a hint on Xian Lang's presence but didn't show her astonishment. She remained calm. ”What if I won't cooperate?”

”If you won't then I won't hold my hand and kill us all. Don't…” He cut his words when her face went sour. ”I don't want to hurt anyone, but I must also protect my people. That is only if your friends won't cooperate. Believe me. I can kill us all if I must.”

She looked up and saw his darkened face. ”I'll talk to him.”

Saying nothing more and with a thought, both of them disappeared from the room and reappeared amid his burned tent was, holding each other's hand.
