128: A Favour repaid - part 2

"Don't think about doing something stupid. We should be thinking of getting out of here."

Alexander's words halted Rita's steps. He could tell that the female was frustrated but he would not allow her to do anything foolish.

Alexander could tell that Aurora had a plan in mind. And her expression said that she wanted help but could not ask for it now.

There had to be a reason behind all this.

Since Alexander already knew the major secret behind the Northern Princess that could not be the case. There had to be some other reason Aurora wanted to keep them out of the loop.

"But you saw her face as well. Aurora looked like she was about to collapse. Not to mention, she looked older. Is her curse acting up again?"

"I don't think that's the case. But people like Aurora are not fragile. Believe in her and let her go."

The sound of someone gritting their teeth reached Alexander. Rita's pissed-off expression met his face but he refused to back down.
