Chapter 149: Finally Awake
The sensation of punishment weighed heavily on Justin as he was exiled from Darkwood Villa. And this beautiful place now felt like a miserable hell.
Justin’s mind was spinning non-stop, filled with worry for Iris’ well-being. He longed to call Niles to ask, but such a connection was strictly prohibited.
Xavier’s decree had left Justin unable to contact anyone within the villa until permission was granted.
It felt like Justin would be happier if he were sent straight to the Fire Room rather than being ignored like this. Furthermore, he had known Iris for so long that he genuinely worried for her.
This punishment is truly torturous!
"Sigh!" He took another deep breath while casting his gaze on the scenery outside.
"Milord, please give me a chance. I promise you... I will take care of Lady Iris. If you give me a second chance, I won’t disappoint you this time." Justin could only talk to himself even though he knew Xavier wouldn’t hear him.
"Are you sure you will protect her?"
Suddenly, Niles’ voice came from behind, making Justin jump. He immediately turned his head and saw Niles walking towards him with a cold smile radiating from his eyes.
Justin gasped, looking at Niles, now standing beside him. While Niles completely ignored Justin, his eyes were fixed on the scenery outside, paying no attention to him.
"N-Niles, why did you come here—" Justin paused, feeling he had asked the wrong question. A grin appeared on his shocked face before he continued. "Ugh, I mean, will Lord Xavier allow me to return?" he asked curiously.
