Chapter 316: My Life Is Mine

(From Blue's Perspective)

"No, Your Highness. It won't be a good thing to leave the magic tower empty. There are guards around it since Luc isn't here. But I still think I should stay here," Ruby said, refusing my offer to stay at the palace. "I appreciate Your Highness's concern. But I really don't want to leave the magic tower."

"Well, too bad. But if that's what you want, there is nothing else to do," I said. 

Ruby did not say anything for a while. Thirty seconds passed and then she let out a sigh. "Your Highness worries me a lot."

"I do? Why?" I asked, surprised. 

"Your Highness safety, well-being- I am worried about everything. Your Highness doesn't take care of yourself. You are just too kind. I am worried that some bad people will take advantage of you."

"Well, I am not as kind as you think," I said. "You might not believe it, but I slapped someone twice."

"What?!" she exclaimed in shock.
