Chapter 47

The unwanted day had arrived, I was supposed to apologize to him before everyone and swallow my pride. But if he’d be in a dungeon, that would drive me insane.

And I wanted him to get hurt.

I was pacing around with a scowl lingering on my face as everyone was gathering in the royal hall.

“Are you sure, Athena?” Jax asked compassionately.

Stopping in my tracks, I nodded, “Yes.”

He narrowed his eyes on me and came closer, whispering so no one could hear it.

“Why are you bothering to lie and creating an ordeal out of it, Athena? Why bear such humiliation?” He asked, which brought a hollow look on my face.

I was not sure whether I should tell him about the tribulation I confronted or not.

I opened my mouth to reply but the King who held serious interest in my life came to increase the dread I was experiencing.

“Exactly, Jax.”

We both turned and King Hadrain was there. Since everyone was coming, he wore a black shirt and a fancy waistcoat with two buttons open and arresting features.
