บท 230: WORDS BETTER LEFT UNSAID

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: TRIGGER ~ SEORI]

The word 'abandoned' replayed in Cortez's mind as he turned to look at Axilla. Who would abandon a harmless girl like her? She was someone who only brought joy to people's lives. Why would her own mother abandon her?

"I'll appreciate it if you don't tell her about it. It would break her heart to know that she was never wanted by her birth mother. Let's keep that innocence for her. Okay?" Nix asked Cortez, who replied with a nod.

Far away from where Cortez and Nix were having their conversation, Axilla stood with Kayla, who wouldn't stop rambling about the King.

"Axilla!! You didn't explain to me well that the King is a heavenly being," Kayla exclaimed, pinching her friend. Ever since she got to the palace, she hadn't been able to see the king this close before.

Axilla sighed, "He's from Wahels," the girl muttered.
