Chapter 83: spy 2
Lilac
"The hell he will!" Jake yelled out, then he was stepping forward and jerking me out of the girl’s grip. The girl manatee to slash over my arm and I cried out as hot pain shot through my entire body, making me start to feel drowsy as I felt myself bleed out even more.
"Are you okay?" Jake asked as he stared down at me after laying me on the ground.
Everywhere was a mess. The girl who just used me for a cover, was clearly trying to get another culprits from the looks of it, but at this point, the guards had finally surrounded her, and they even also managed to take her knife.
"I didnt do anything wrong, did I? I never hurt anyone here despite having many opportunities to. I never stole for anyone here, I’m only doing this because my sister is being held captive and the king of my kingdom is refusing to release her except I do this!" This time, the girl’s voice cracked around the edges and I instantly felt a stab of pity went through my body as she spoke.
"That’s none of our business! You’ll answer to the king. Now, let us go," the mastermind behind catching her drawled as he approached them.
The girl still continued to sob, and again, I felt a little pity for her before Jake pulled me back to the moment.
"You’re bleeding very badly, Lilac." Jake spoke and I let oou a pained breath as I glanced down at the slash over my arm. It looks quite deep, which is a reminder for me to not feel any pity for the spy. Sure, she’s being forced to do this against her will, but why hurt me?
"I’ll take you to the slaves infirmary." Jake said as he got to his feet.
At the same time, the spy who ese just crying now, let out a loud crackle that made everyone stiffen including myself, and my eyes instantly darted her way. I was more than shocked to see her staring at me, her eyes gleaming darkly in a way that made me feel creeped out.
