Chapter 277: Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Honey [3]
[ZULA]
"Gods, I hate you," Zaffuto sighed right before he heard Liana’s stomach growl.
"You didn’t even fucking eat?" Zaffuto asked disappointedly as if that were supposed to make the woman forget about what had come for her with him. Perhaps it would have worked with the concern on his face, a show so new it was appalling.
"If you want to kill me, the least you could do is feed me, don’t you think, Shuten?" Liana asked, making sure to call the king by the name he so despised. But Liana was not one to listen.
If she had to irk the man into coming with her back to the palace then that was what she would do. He needed a break from the endless pointless murders. He had already shown everyone that he was a bondsman.
There was no need for him to be keeping at it like it was some damn trophy he was hoping for.
This was madness and while it was an aspect of the king Liana knew she had to embrace. She hoped that he would understand that life didn’t always have to be as chaotic, that life was worth living, and that he could breathe and let go easily.
Perhaps it was too much for her to ask, but then what the fuck was she supposed to make of it then?
"If you didn’t look so damn gorgeous right now, I would have killed you," Zaffuto said calmly, his hand on Liana not faltering. He had been trying to think with this woman and it was proving a little hard, now that he saw that the wolves were looking at his Liana.
He wanted to take them out. However, his focus was slowly shifting and it was more than obvious. Liana managed to make the mad king change his mind, which was interesting because this man had known nothing other than war his entire life.
Perhaps beauty was something to be thankful for, amid a people who were not sure where they stood with him, right? Maybe life would be different and they would be able to make things right, but at what cost?
