Chapter 401: I Knew

"Your majesty, is everything alright?" Artwander inquired, and Lerkhman arched his brow at him. "Very good," he replied with a mysterious smile on his face, and Artwander stared at him with contracted eyes before moving out of the way and walking away in another direction.

A cruel glint flashed in Lerkhman eyes as he stared at his disappearing back and placed his hands behind him, then walked away towards the cold side of the palace. 

He strolled to the room where Leia was locked in and unlocked the door, then stepped in to see her seated by the window with a lost expression on her face.

A smirk ensued on his face, and he shut the door, startling her and causing her to turn her head and see who it was. Her face instantly darkened and her hands balled into a tight fist on seeing him. "What do you want?" she asked, but instead of answering, Lerkhman cackled softly and walked toward her with a cruel expression on his face.
