Chapter 81: Identity
Acantha woke up with blurry visions; her body was aching as if she just went through a lot of things.
"She’s awake." She heard someone say it, and she recognized it as her father.
"What are you even doing here?" She heard him again ask someone beside him, which she was sure was Helion.
"And now can anyone explain what happened to my daughter?" She heard her father say again, and this time when Acantha tried to open her eyes, it wasn’t blurry anymore.
"F-father." Acantha said as she was still feeling dizzy.
"Aki." She saw her father turn to see her; he looked very worried with the way he looked at her.
"What are you doing here, Father?" I asked as I looked at him. He was supposed to be in the south, as he said he has something important to meet and do there.
"Why am I being asked what I am doing in my own house?" The duke said as he looked at her while frowning.
"I thought you were supposed to stay in the south." Acantha said as she accepted the glass of water that Helion was giving to her; he must have known that her throat was feeling dry as her voice was a little hoarse.
"I teleported here when I received news from one of the knight’s who was at the dungeon who saw you were unconscious." The duke said as he looked at her tenderly and looked at his side and glared at Helion, who was now holding the glass that she used a while ago.
"And what is he doing here?" The duke continued, and he pointed at Helion, who was also giving the duke the same length of stare as what he was doing at him.
