Chapter 210: A little trouble
VALENCIA’S POV
"What the hell are you doing here?" I saw raw fear in Theo’s eyes, and a smile appeared on my face.
Why was I here? Because I stupidly thought I would be able to save my friend from a pack full of orthodox psychos that are protected by forest spirits.
But could I say these words when a sword hung over my head? Of course not.
That’s why I smiled at him and flicked his nose through the bars between us.
"How could I not? I told you you are not getting rid of this slavery anytime soon," I grinned at him before taking a deep breath.
"You are stupid. Do you even know why I am here? I was acting selfish and didn’t think my decision would affect anyone. Oh, moon goddess, what have I done?" Theo started blaming himself, and I sighed.
Holding his hand through the bars, I forced him to look into my eyes.
"Nothing has gone wrong. Not yet, at least. Trust me, will you?" I told him, wanting him to see the belief in my eyes.
He kept looking at my eyes for a few seconds before he nodded.
"I will be under your care then, boss," Theo finally said, and that was enough to give me the courage to fight and die for my people.
