章節 189: Fourth Member of the Grand Circle

Laia's eyes shifted from the roaring flames of the bonfire to the sleeping woman on Lucien's lap. "They were ungrateful to master back then. Why would she still save those people?" 

Elisha ruffled the little girl's hair. She sighed, "Because she knows she can do something about it."

"That's not enough reason to save people."

Laia wrapped her hands on the bowl on her lap. A pair of cold white eyes were staring back at her.

"Tch," he rubbed off the part where Benu patted him. "Don't touch me."

"Aww… do you feel dirty being touched by a king? I wonder how you feel now that you knew that your master was an empress of two kingdoms," Benu smiled, his eyes turned into crescents.
