199 – A Role Model

"Gwen, please get out of there." Miro sounded desperate. "You've been in the water too long."

Gwen remained silent and closed her eyes in the lake.

"That's right, Gwen," I said in the blonde-haired woman's ear. "You've been here too long."

I couldn't bear to see her skin which had started to turn pale, and her lips were turning blue.

Seeing Gwen still not paying attention, Miro scratched his hair roughly. "I had to do this. Forgive me."

Just as Miro put his foot in the water, a splash in the lake appeared. Gwen opened her eyes to see Re'i swimming towards her.

Re'i popped his face in Gwen's face, looking so shocked. Gwen wasted no time, immediately grabbed Re'i's head, then pressed her head against the king's.

"What are you doing, Gwen? This is called torturing yourself!" Re'i sounded very worried. "Why are you naked and in the lake at this time of night? And why is your face so swollen?"

"But you can feel my presence, right? And don't mind my face."
