Chapter 302: Awkward Position (1)
Two days after Arren’s return.
Outside of the palace, a black car stopped, and someone from the back seat climbed out of the car. His figure was extremely familiar with the royal guards in this palace, but there was something unfamiliar with his overall vibe.
The once-carefree smile on his lips and the light in his eyes were now completely gone. Instead, his eyes bore dark circles, and his figure obviously lost a significant weight since he last set foot in this palace.
Levin, the Chief of the Royal Guards. He looked at the palace, where he spent most of his life, more than his own home. Levin’s surging pride when he looked at the familiar sight seemed unable to glow at this moment.
There was only one emotion that dominated his whole being. Guilt. Levin didn’t even know how to face everyone that he knew, especially Arren. After a while, he lowered his gaze and exhaled heavily. He then clasped his trembling hands and decided to finally take a step forward.
Levin didn’t even bother to greet the people that he passed by; he was preoccupied with pressing matters inside his head. And that the more he took his steps, the heavier his steps had become.
Did he... deserve to be here? Levin’s thoughts were getting messier than ever. He was never this pessimistic. Even when he decided to pursue the path that he wanted, disregarding the opinion of his father, Levin was still determined to work everything out.
The smile on his lips had never faded, and he was positive that as long as he tried his best, everything would work out in the end.
Hope. Levin had not stopped hoping.
And yet, he finally found himself at the end of the line. It was as though he was standing in front of a cliff, and the other end couldn’t even be seen, but he had no choice but to jump and hope for something that was impossible to happen.
Levin needed to admit the truth. Some things were just really hopeless. No matter how they wanted to work it out, they would never be fixed. The things he wanted wouldn’t come true.
