章 78: Please save us

Alice and Cora humored me for a while before they excused themselves to attend to their duties. Apparently, those two big sisters only freed their morning schedule to check on me. They were busy, just like Teresa, Priscilla, and Sally. Especially with the upcoming mating season. 

Since I was the only one who had nothing to do in the palace, I decided to take a walk in the garden. I couldn't keep sulking inside the room. I would lose my mind if I thought about last night inside the same room where it all happened. 

"Hmm?" my brows rose when I heard a rustle from behind me. I jumped in surprise, catching someone walking in a crouching position while crossing the gravel path of the main garden of the palace. I tilted my head, watching as the person who seemed to be sneaking out slowly turned his head to me. 

As soon as our eyes met, I blinked twice wordlessly. He smiled awkwardly, still frozen in his stance.
