Chapter 141: _All Is Forgiven?
My heart sank a little when I saw Marcellus strutting in.
He had a bright smile on his face, with one hand in his coat pocket and the other casually waving at me.
He actually looked good... thank the gods. I’d been afraid that the potion I used to drug him would leave side effects.
The playful glint in his eyes reminded me of the night we had last spoken. Which, unfortunately, had been right before I drugged him.
"Well damn, I was expecting a little more excitement," He drawled when he finally got in front of me, spreading his arms. "I haven’t seen you in five days, and all I get is a gasp?"
"I..." My voice faltered as I took a step forward, glancing at Kaelos, who raised an eyebrow before I sighed deeply with guilt. "I’m sorry, Marcellus."
Marcellus blinked before he scoffed lightly. "What now?"
Damn, did the potion mess with his memories too?
"For using that potion on you." I elaborated, rubbing my right arm as my voice became lower. "Kaelos put you in charge of watching me, and I just... I needed a way out that wouldn’t hurt anyone. It was the only thing I could think of."
Marcellus stared at me, silent for a bit too long, which only made my stomach twist harder.
However, he soon chuckled, shaking his head before waving dismissively.
