Undeniable Attraction

Winona's POV

"Once again, Ana, we want to ask an apology for attacking you and rest assured you have our full support. During your stay in the palace, we will help you secretly because the council will put us into prison once they catch us assisting a candidate. It is against the rule of the tournament." Clay said as he glides in the air. I can feel the cold breeze on my skin because my arms are bare, and my legs are now exposed because my gown had been torn when I ran faster and rolled to the ground when I was fighting them.

"So, that is why you waited for me at the forest entrance because you want to kill me? It was your way of supporting your princess secretly?" I asked, and it took him a minute before he replied.
