Chapter 604: HARMLESS PERSON
Shiver ran down Nala’s spine when the merchant showed such strong hostility toward her. This was the first time, he glared at her very viciously, as if he was going to strangle her to death.
Nala feared for her life when she was in the hand of the king, but this was different kind of fear when the easy going Lou looked so menacing like this. She didn’t dare to raise her head, neither she had the courage to breathe a little bit louder. She wanted to disappear and make him stop staring at her, it was very suffocating.
While Lou said nothing, the silence was heavy.
"Lou, I am sorry..." Nala said in small voice. She was so scared out of her wits right now. All the possibility came to her mind and she couldn’t help, but thinking the worst and the worst thing possible that could happen was; this merchant killed her, because that’s how it looked like.
"Next time," Lou finally talked, but his voice sounded like a growl. "Next time if you were going to butt on in a conversation, remember that I am going to toss you out on the street or feed you to the monster. Understood?"
Nala nodded vigorously. "Y- yes, understood."
Next time.
She could breathe in relief right now because it meant Lou gave her another chance and she would make sure she didn’t blurt out anything without his permission.
"Sit outside, I don’t want to see your face!" Lou growled and slid down to sleep on his bed inside the carriage, while Nala clambered out to sit next Sabian, as the old man controlled the horses.
She tightened her cloak around her body because it was a cold night.
Sabian glanced at her, felt a little bit pity because Lou was so harsh, but then he understood his master better. When he was in a fault mood, it would be better if you stayed away from him, because he could do something irrational.
