70 Don't Touch Me

Cecelia’s POV

Klaus's response caught everyone off guard.

I raised an eyebrow as I looked at the girl crouching behind Klaus on the ground. Wow, her eyes were truly heart-wrenching.

Her emerald green eyes slowly welled up with tears, her chestnut hair disheveled, and her dirty, tattered clothes couldn't conceal the bloodied wounds and glaring bruises on her body. Despite all this, one could still see her originally snow-white skin and lovely features. Emilia, covered in scars, resembled a warm white jade with a few mottled marks.

One couldn't help but want to clean her up and wrap her in delicate, soft silk to display at home. If a slave girl like her were to be exiled, she would probably disappear from the noble's territory before long.

"Oh, are you really deciding to exile this girl?" The king's tone was slightly doubtful as he looked at Klaus bowing his head. With his silver-white long hair, it was hard to discern Klaus's expression.
