Chapter 516: Sandalwood 2 (Ch.517)

"Sandalwood?" King Jian asked, uncertain if he had heard correctly.

"I... well, I knew there was something more... but I couldn't place...it was sandalwood." Neveah muttered, keeping her gaze fixed on the ground.

'Why was she even in this situation in the first place? Why was she so shaken?'

 Neveah had no answer for it, she had not even fancied this man at all, instead it had been quite the opposite...there were times when she had even detested him...or had she?

Thinking back on it, Neveah did not know...if she had ever even held anything against him.

"What?..." King Jian asked incredulously, clearly even more confused now.

He had not backed away even a little and Neveah was not certain for how long she could function while breathing in the manner she was.

"Your scent!...I meant your scent, okay?!" Neveah exclaimed in exasperation, glancing up at King Jian.
