Chapter 153 Mother’s Memento (1/2)

”I would love to be always woken up like that.” Regaleon said with a smile.

”Y-You're awake?” I asked in surprise.

”I was really sleeping a while ago. But when I felt your warm lips on mine, how won't I wake up?” Regaleon smiled sweetly. But then his smile changed into a frown in no time.

”What is it?” I asked curiously.

”What happened to your smooth beautiful cheek?” Regaleon asked worriedly. He gently caressed his thumb on my cheek where my wound was.

”Ahh.” Regaleon was only caressing the outer edge of my wound but I can still feel the sting.

”Is it swollen?” I asked worriedly.

”Who did this to you?” Regaleon's eyes became icily dark. There was a hint of danger in his pair of dark blue eyes. He was emitting an aura of anger and killing intent.

”Well actually, I planned on getting hurt.” I confessed to him.

”You planned on getting hurt?” Regaleon's killing intent disappeared in a flash and was replaced with worry. ”Lili, why would you hurt yourself?”

Regaleon's eyes were looking at me intently. If I didn't regret on getting hurt with my plan a while ago, now I was regretting it because I can see how Regaleon is worrying for me.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

”Actually I didn't really hurt myself. It was Elizabeth who did this.” I said.

Regaleon's killing intent came back in no time after hearing that Elizabeth was the one that hurt me.

”But I have planned her to hurt me.” I explained. ”In the meeting a while ago, Elizabeth was chosen to be prince Gladiolus' fiancée.”

”Hmph, I expected that much.” Regaleon scoffed. ”And then what happened?”

”Well, she was harassing me as per usual in front of our family members. She was blaming me for stealing you from elder sister Veronica and William from her.” I continued.

”Your step sister is so delusional.” Regaleon said. ”I would never even think of having any relation with those two step sisters of yours.”

”Yes, I know.” I smiled with his words. ”Good thing father reprimanded Elizabeth. Especially when she bad mouthed my mother, father didn't want to hear any of Elizabeth's whims any longer and scolded her. Father just gave her a warning, but I won't let her get away with bad mouthing me and mother again.”

”And so you made her mad to attack you?” Regaleon assumed.

”Hmm, yes.” I nodded. ”Elizabeth was so infatuated with William. So after William saw her hurt me, of course as my personal knight he saved me and said some things that made Elizabeth's dreams crumble down into dust.”

I smiled while recalling the events. Seeing Elizabeth looking devastated gave me some sense of satisfaction.

”It's good that you are not letting your step sisters bully you once again. But I hope that you won't get hurt in the future.” Regaleon said while caressing my other cheek gently. ”I don't want to see you get hurt. If you want to get even with them, you can tell me and I will surely arrange something that is befitting for them.”

I looked at Regaleon's face. He was looking at me with worry. I am sure he was thinking that he doesn't want my hands to be dirty with such things.

”I know Leon. Don't worry, I won't go overboard. I will never do anything that will taint my conscience.” I smiled in assurance. ”And I won't do anything in the future that I know would hurt me.”

”That's good to hear.” Regaleon smiled.

'Knock knock' there was knocking from the door.

”Come in.” I said.

The door opened and Tricia came in with a tray of medicine and some bandages.
