Chapter 17 Surrender

|LEILA CROSS|

I watch him takes a seat on one of the sofas in the living room while I recall what happened earlier.

I didn't know that tracing that presence can make me go careless and it's a good thing that Leo appears in front of me before I face the ground and cause bruises on my beautiful face. Though, it's not really my face but Iris'.

"What were you doing outside? You were even half-conscious," he asks while I take a seat on the sofa that is facing him.

I heave a sigh and look at him.

"I just want to breathe fresh air. You know, I didn't have the chance to do that while I was in that place," I mumble as I cross my arms over my chest.

I see his brows furrowing because of confusion. Ah, yea. He still doesn't know that I woke up and was brought to the castle by the king himself. All that he knows is my true identity and that's it.

We still both don't know the reason why but I'm glad that he is helping me throughout.
