Chapter 45: Train Me
Chapter Forty-Five – Train Me
Frida was gone. It had been three days since then. Laurel took out hair out of the bun, and placed the hair pins on it.
She’d just taken a bath after doing her ten rounds around the quarters. She’s used to it and needed actual training. It was ridiculous, but she wanted Beta Cade to train her. For one, he’d definitely not go easy on her.
But before that, she turned to the person at the door. "You can come in, Jessika." The cook had told she’d visit when they coincidentally met last night.
Her face was puffed up and wet, she held a small bag of snacks. Laurel smiled. She must’ve worked a lot in the morning. Jessika collapsed on her bed and heaved a sigh.
"Goddess, this place is like a lion’s den. Everywhere you go, there’s something waiting to prey on you."
What had she gone through this morning? Laurel grinned. "Eh..? Who wanted to prey on you?"
Jessika left the bed and pointed at her face. "Lady Jade slapped me twice. For no good reason."
The smirk on Laurel’s face fell. What kind of monster was Jade? Jessika looked like she’d melt if the slightest force was used against her.
Laurel could only imagine how painful it had been. She tried to touch her face but Jessika winced. "It still hurts."
