Mila returned with two guards and immediately ordered them to open the chains that bound Elena's body.
However, the two of them did not immediately do what Mila ordered, but looked at Liam, asking permission from the king to do what Mila wanted.
Of course this infuriated Mila and she glared at Liam angrily, challenging him to say the opposite of what she was told.
For a while, they stared at each other like that, until finally Liam nodded and allowed them to do as Mila said.
Immediately, the chains wrapped around Elena's body were released and she quickly stood up straight, despite the pain she still felt.
Because her pride would not allow her to kneel in front of the two guards for long. Elena grimaced and groaned, and cast a hostile look at Mila and Liam.
"Get out of my sight," Elena growled at the two guards, because she didn't want them to see her in her current state any longer. The elder really felt humiliated in this way.
