Bab 148: Doubt (1)

"Why did I turn down the offer to fight him?" Annalise muttered, regretting her decision now that she was watching Rafael train against the knights once more. She wanted to test what it would be like to fight against him.

"Can you please leave?"

Annalise refused to look at her side at the two knights approaching her. "I am his maid. I am supposed to be by his side," she answered.

Michael tossed an apple in the air as he walked toward her. "Christian says that Rafael is only going so hard against us to-"

Christian smacked the back of Michael's head to get him to shut up. Rafael was obviously still in denial about this woman and he always spoke of not having a relationship with his maids. Why would Michael be so foolish to tell Annalise what he said?

Michael grabbed the back of his head where there was pain.  "You bastard! Where did my apple go?"
