Chapitre 144: I’ll Choose Whoever I Want

Xenia's lips parted. She simply couldn't believe what she just heard from the king. 

"And I'm being serious, Xen," he repeated with narrowed eyes.

"Looks like the rumors were wrong, indeed." 

A man's voice interrupted that magical moment between them. Moving almost instinctively, Xenia trying pushing herself off to compose herself, but Darius refused by keeping his tight hold onto her waist. 

With her body still in his arms, Darius simply faced the man with a questioning look.

"I hope I didn't interrupt something," Elder Nasser continued on with a smile. 

Seeing the Elder, Xenia then looked at Darius only to notice that his expression had quickly dimmed. It seemed like Darius and this Elder weren't on good terms often.
