Bab 165: Seeing You Again

Katelina didn't want to make a scene, so she did her best to be polite. After all, King Ezekiel was their savior, and that was a fact she couldn't disregard. Thus, she ended up personally escorting him around the castle.

"The castle sustained severe damage, but thanks to the mages you sent, Your Majesty, the renovations are almost complete," Katelina explained nervously. Ezekiel's unwavering gaze was intense and it's making her heart race.

'Why can't he just focus on the surroundings instead of me?' Katelina inwardly complained. It wasn't as if he could see through her veil, but the intensity of the king's sharp, predatory gaze made her feel as though he were stripping her with his eyes.

Katelina stopped talking, feeling it was a waste of breath since he wasn't paying attention to her words.

"Please continue talking. I really missed your voice like this," Ezekiel murmured after a terse silence, his eyes still locked on her.
