Chương 69: Trouble

"I will...I will definitely serve our future queen the best way and will keep her safe," he said. 

Future queen? Donovan lifted his eyebrows but didn't on it any further. 

"And don't tell her about what happened here and what I said to you, is that clear?" Don narrowed his eyes and Carlo again nodded his head.

Then Don took his leave.

Silja on the other hand was waiting for Carlo to show up but the man was late today.

"You are late," she pointed out as Carlo met her.

"I was caught up in something urgent," he avoided her eyes and said. Silja could sense the lie but she decided to ignore it.

"You seem different today," she commented as they were walking in the street. She noticed that the man was moving his hand and her face was restless.

Those movements were enough to tell that something was going on in his head.

"What ...Nothing," but he denied and avoided eye contact again.
