Chương 325: A Favor

Thorne placed his hand on Laina's. She immediately removed her hand, shrugging away. Though he was near identical to Dante, she knew he was not him. It was not the same.

"Sorry, I..." she apologized for her actions when she realized what it looked like. 

Thorne simply shook his head, "It's alright. I understand. I'll leave you to rest, Your Majesty."

With that, he bowed to her and took his leave. As he left Laina's room, Nyx entered. She was happy to see that Laina had woken up. When Thorne left, she could not help but glance over to look at him before entering the room. 

"Your Majesty, you look well," she greeted Laina politely as she came to her bedside.

"Better. I hope all has been well in the time I was out."

Nyx smiled. It had been the most relaxed she had ever been since she took up the role of Leader of the Order of Knights. While Laina was partaking in the ceremony, she got to mingle around with the temple guardians.
