章 33: Lamb and the Wolf

He turned towards the cell after Queen Norma left, Blood gathering in his eyes making them look even redder than they usually were. 

"Forgive us, my Lord. We were obliged to follow Her Majesty's command." The guards joined their hands before him as they begged for forgiveness.

Without sparing a glance in their direction, he stepped in the cell where Aurora was stuck to the wall hoping that it would open somehow and hide her inside itself but that never happened anywhere beside her wishful thinking. She wasn't scared before but now that he was here she felt her ankles getting wobbly despite the fact that he had just saved her from getting beheaded. 

"Who do you think you are? Attacking my people on my land?" He grasped her elbow and pulled her towards him. Her shoulder brushed against his chest in her attempts to stay away from him.
