Chapter 237: Return the kiss
Melody remained seated on the far end of the carriage, opposite Izaak. He studied her face for a moment before speaking, "You may fall out if the door opens accidentally."
Melody moved slightly away from the door while fidgeting with her fingers. She was supposed to say sorry to him, but words were not coming out of her mouth. Not only that she misjudged him on numerous occasions.
"Your Highness, where are we going?" Melody finally broke the ice, thinking the air might turn lighter between them.
"To punish the man who sold you to the slave house," Izaak answered.
Melody froze, her eyes wide and unblinking, words lodged in her throat.
"I admit I was impulsive last night. However, I harbor no regrets. My abrupt actions might have startled you," he confessed, "My form of apology will be to punish the man who had the audacity to sell you."
She was left dumbstruck, her mind racing to process his words. For a few seconds, she could only ponder on how to respond to his unexpected declaration.
"Way something," urged Izaak.
Melody raised her gaze to meet his. "Why me? Why would His Highness go to such lengths for someone like me?" she questioned.
"Because I am intrigued to see where my vision leads me," Izaak responded.
"Vision?" Melody’s mind raced back to Alora’s words. The eldest prince was said to possess the ability to see future events. "What did His Highness foresee?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
