Chương 446: The Cure For Defenestraphobia

"Come any closer, and I will kill you! Get back!" The guard threatened, and I chuckled before nodding at her to move aside. She seemed taken aback by my response, and she stepped aside, letting me close on Melrose.

"You have nothing to fear from me," I said soothingly, and one of the guards even nodded, but the Queen didn't move.

"I-I-I-I don't know what to do," She stuttered, and I laughed.

"It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you; I'm just here because I want to make things right between us," I said gently, and Melrose slowly looked up at me, her face full of surprise.

"Y-you do?" She asked, and I smiled before nodding.

"Yes, I do. I can tell that you are scared of me, and I understand why. I am an intimidating creature, but I mean you no harm, and I promise not to take you near any windows," I said, and Melrose slowly smiled.

"Thank you," She said quietly, and I nodded before turning to the two guards that were still eyeing me warily.
