Bab 139: Fool A Fool

Annalise shifted uncomfortably on the bed at the mention of Roshan having to pick a mate, it struck her deeply to the very chord in her system and she looked at Levi with a gaze that visibly showed her displeasure.

"A mate?"

Levi nodded, not looking her way as his own gaze were focused on the chessboard, making him oblivious to her sour expression, "yes, Roshan has to pick a mate since he'll need a strong lady to stand by his side when he rules Viscarrian, after he lost his last ma-" his voice suddenly trailed off the last minute when he realized he nearly made mention of Aveline and his shoulders tensed. Only then did he lift his head to look at Anna who was still staring at him, waiting for him to finish.

Annalise had a rough guess on what he wanted to make mention of, if she guessed it right, Levi was about mentioning Roshan's last mate, but strangely, he's not saying a word now.
