Chapter 68: Deserves to be Beheaded
"Your Highness..." A middle-aged woman with large stature and gray bun hair stood in front of the door while slightly bowing, waiting for the Crown Prince to give her an order. She is the castle Housekeeper, Mrs. Pepper.
"Mrs. Pepper, I need you to clean Lady Allynna’s body and change her clothes into her nightgown. Do it gently. She’s wounded..." His voice was low, but there was a hint of sadness and anger in his tone.
Hearing the Crown Prince’s voice made Mrs. Pepper stunned. During her stay in this castle, it was the first time she had seen the expression of sadness His Highness was experiencing now.
"And please be careful with her wounds. Don’t make it worst." Leon spoke again without taking his eyes from Allynna’s still motionless body on the bed.
After a few seconds, Leon finally has the strength to leave her. He walked out of her room. And the moment he closed the door behind him, he saw Goeffrey appear near the corner.
Apparently, Goeffrey has been waiting for him but hiding from his sight in the corner since he arrived.
After closing the door gently, Leon walked to the big glass window looking far into the forest without glancing or speaking at Geoffrey. Right now, he tried to calm his mind and heart, which was ready to explode at any moment. He couldn’t describe how angry and sad he was.
He almost lost this girl again... In the past, she was kidnapped and separated for a dozen years. After he found her, that damn monster almost took her life? This scared him so much. He doesn’t know how to face this life alone without her.
Leon closed his eyes. He was trying to divert his mind so he could think rationally.
