Chapter 839 - Julian

Rowena didn't answer right away She was still watching theman named Julian He looked too relaxed for a thief It's also impossible for a thief to sacrifice hiht?

Julian took off his hat so Rowena could see the boy's face completely Ahh he was really only a bit older than Rowena Perhaps, seventeen?

He had a handso blue eyes, and a perrin on his lips His clothes were very ood condition

Noena looked around her This hut was shabby but clean and had everything one would need to lead a simple life Was this his place? Did he live here with his family? Where were the others?

The princess pursed her lips at the realization that her life was truly saved by the thief who stole her money

"Where am I?" Rowena's voice softened when she spoke She realized it was rude to speak harshly to so did I pass out?"

Julian didn't reply to Rowena's question Instead, he put down the bowl and crossed his arms on his chest "You haven't told me your name Who are you and where did you co to decide whether she should tell him her name and her status or just lie

Finally, she chose both

"My name is Rowena I came to Almere to attend the town festival withfor me"

"Hmm" Julian nodded Then he crouched down in front of the fireplace and scooped the soup which he then poured into the bowl he had cleaned earlier

He put the bowl of soup on the table And pushed Rowena's body from behind to sit on the chair

"I've made soup for you Eat it," said Julian casually

The young rabbed the only other chair and turned it over Now he sat facing the back of the chair towards Rowena Julian folded his arms on the back of the chair He took out a piece of straw and chewed the end, looking like a sry," Rowena pursed her lips "You haven't answered my question Where are we? How far are we from Almere town square?"

"We are in ht now You passed out for maybe five hours"

"Ohh" Rowena pressed her lips in surprise That was a really long ti for her now Did she go back to the castle and report it to the king?

"Is this place far froain

Julian shrugged "Yes"

"Why didn't you take me to the town square to meet my aunt? It would have been easier for you," Rowena continued "It should be easy to findout in the square looking forwith lady Liz would be looking for her all over and nize them

"No, it would have been easier for me to leave and let you die in the river," Julian replied "If I want easy, you would have been dead now"

Roas at a loss for words "So, why didn't you??"
