Capítulo 72: Match 72

"What did you just say?" Theseus asked Alex surprised,

"I…I've been fainting a lot lately, as it seems I am still a bit out of it." He said and tried to smile, to hide his embarrassment. How could he say something like that at a moment like this? He was very stupid. 

"I see" Theseus said slightly disappointed and got away from him. "What I said. About you being strong, I meant it" he told him trying to bring back their previous conversation. 

"Thank you. It's a bit hard for me to believe you even if I want to."

"I understand; you need to rest so I will leave you alone for now. I will send someone to bring you dinner" 

"Thank you. Is it alright for you to bring Mark here? I want to talk to him" 

"You have a king doing your deeds. You should feel honored" Theseus joked and made the boy chuckle.

"Who said I wasn't" he answered cheekily and Theseus left the room with a smile.
