บท 496: Shelter (Ch.497)

"Neveah...are you ever where you are expected to be?" King Jian asked, in a tone that was more of an animalistic growl than actual talking.

"Y... Your Grace..." Neveah stuttered out.

Any further words were caught in Neveah's throat, because what exactly did one say in this situation?

Neveah's heart sank even further when King Jian's gaze moved to settle on Xenon, his expression changed immediately.

"I... I can explain..." Neveah tried, but again trailed off, in the light of King Jian's blank stare.

King Jian silently strode past Neveah without a single word, crouching down beside Xenon.

Neveah turned around slowly, her expression alarmed as King Jian inspected Xenon's condition, his gaze drawn first to the bleeding bite mark on Xenon's neck.

King Jian tilted Xenon's head to the side and inspected the bite, his brows furrowing visibly.

"You did this." King Jian said in a low tone.
