Chapter 113: Our Relationship
“Oh, I’m actually offered a choice. This is surely rare...” Prince Leonard replied sarcastically.
“Choose before I choose for you,” the king said without much patience.
“I have a request to make...” the prince stated abruptly.
“You can state it after I am done with what I have in mind,” the king replied sternly.
“Fine. You can ask me your questions, then inform me of what you want before listening to my request,” the prince replied after letting out an unsuppressed sigh.
“Good. Then I’ll start with my questioning. Mila, what is your relationship with Prince Leonard?” the king asked.
I gasped in shock at both his question and the fact that he was questioning me instead of the prince. My eyes widened in shock and my lips trembled as if in fear. I glanced down as I debated with myself about what I should say. Although it seemed like a simple and straightforward question, it wasn’t simple at all given how confused I already was about what took place between Prince Leonard and me. I glanced to my side and found Prince Leonard’s blue eyes staring right at my face as he also waited for my response to the king’s questions.
How am I supposed to answer anything with Prince Leonard sitting right next to me?
“I...I am a maid that has...served him on some occasions as required...” I replied while trying to pick the right words.
