Chapter 11: Locked Inside
Felixa couldn’t believe what she heard, but she had no means to verify it either. All she felt was a terrible pain in her chest that almost brought back that sinking feeling.
She concluded she was the Rose Knight by the familiar feeling that name brought her when she saw that memory. But hearing this, all she felt was pain. She couldn’t discern why she is feeling the pain.
[Is it because I feel remorse for betraying the King? Was the sneering voice I keep on hearing, the voice of the King? Or... was I the one who got betrayed? ]
Felixa’s heart churned with confusion. She had no memory of who she is. She cannot decide whether she is someone who would betray her king or not.
But in front of Flavia, she tried to hide her emotions.
All she knows for sure is that she is the Rose Knight and she is the one believed to have betrayed the Great King of the Lethusian Empire- the ancestor of the man she is now married to.
She is the traitor according to someone close to the Brute. That is reason enough for her to stay alert.
"Where did you hear that name?" Flavia asked.
Although she was smiling, Felixa could sense a little wariness in her eyes.
"Oh," Felixa let out a chuckle, "I heard the servants in the horse stable talking about him in the morning. They thought the Rose Knight was a hero."
With no qualms, Felixa blamed the guys who were trying to hurt her earlier. With the scrawny physique she has now, she has no means to fight her way out of anything unless she uses magic and she wasn’t very sure about it either. She has to use other means to stay alive.
[Whether in honor or disgrace, to make a report with the greatest fidelity to the truth!]
