บท 89: Your Life Before Meeting Me

Despite her assurance, Kol still hesitated. Though he had learned to speak more eloquently from Margaret, he had never spoken much. He was curious about everything around them and in fact, had many questions floating through his mind. 

"Could this be a trap?" 

Laina bit her lip. It had occurred to her that things were going smoothly because it was a trap. But she kept a positive outlook. Laina stood up and walked over to the door. 

She opened it and peered out into the corridor. Once she was satisfied, she closed the door and returned to the bed, and sat down next to Kol. 

"If this was a trap, I would have assumed the door would be locked. There would likely also be guards outside. But there isn't. So I think we're safe for now," she explained. 

Kol nodded, "In any case, I will be here to protect you, your Highness."
