章節 224: Untamed flames

"You aren't supposed to be outside!" exclaimed the guard on noticing Melanie and Conner, who stood not too far from them. "Get him right now!" 

Simon stared at Melanie, blinking and giving her a look as if she had really thought it through of getting Conner out of the dungeon. Scratching the back of his neck, he quickly caught hold of the second guard and said, 

"Let us not take any decision in haste. We are all good people here, and let us do things calmly. I am sure it isn't a big deal if that boy is out of the dungeon and needs some fresh air." 

The other guard who had spoken first accused, "You are behind this. The Elders are not going to be happy once they find out what you tried to do." 

"What I tried to do? I was only talking to you, but then you were talking to me too. Does that mean you were upto no good?" asked Simon.
