Chapter 227: King Approves
The King who was rubbing his forehead out of stress looked at Arthur. Everyone else was curious too.
Now what!
Sophia who looked pale like refined flour, turned to a nice shade of red as she saw Arthur’s calm eyes on her.
He said he saved me! At least this will gain me sympathy points and not ruin my life entirely.
"I told you to keep it a secret," he smiled at her and his green marble eyes looking at her, had no mirth in them. Sophia went pale again. That was not a smile. That was a threat.
He knows! He knows I lied!
She looked to the front. She wanted to stop everything from happening, but she didn’t know how. Her heartbeat raced and her eyes wandered around restlessly. Her head hurt like someone was shooting her brain with a nail gun at a regular interval and she heard a ringing noise in her ears.
I’m doomed! How can I escape this?
"I saved her, from a libel suit." Arthur said in a crisp way with a slight bow as he looked at the King. "She made slanderous accusations on my friend Jordan McAllister. She accused him of forcing her when she was the one who came on to him clearly, as per the evidences gathered." Arthur continued, not minding anyone else and locking eyes with the King.
"And I reckon you have proof for this too?" the King asked. He didn’t mind this young lass who was being so bold in front of him. Not the insolent kind of bold, but his boldness stemmed from his confidence and he admired it.
Once a noble... He truly is a Boswell... The same Boswell who once ruled the Esterian Royal Court!
