Chapter 144: Irrefusable Offer (6)

The carriage fell over. Lapis and I bounced around like baggage.
The coachman that was driving the carriage let out a cry; however, he must have been unable to endure the shock as his voice flew off into the distance.
– Screeek!
The carriage scraped against the road as it slid on its side. Our bodies flipped over as we collided against the wall of the carriage. It must have been thanks to Lapis, but the impact was not that intense for me. However, this meant that Lapis’ slender back took the entire shock. She let out a short cry.
“Lapis!”
Damn it! I hastily lifted myself up and pulled Lapis into my arms. She wasn’t severely injured, was she?
“Sir, Dantalian.”
Lapis’ face was contorted in pain. Her eyes, however, were extremely clear. ‘Do not worry about me. There is something more important you should be worried about’, this was what they were saying. Her gaze was surprisingly cold. I could feel my heart quickly calm down.
