CHAPTER TWENTY
LEWIS
Lia suddenly stood up. Her formerly blushing face immediately turned pale. We were still connected through the mind link and I could hear the numerous thoughts and the various emotions that she was feeling. She was caught off-guard and was panicking. I felt a small throbbed in my chest. I stood up beside Lia before grabbing her hand, “Lia,” I called her name, but her thoughts were too preoccupied to hear me. At that moment, her emotions were overflowing and made me focus on her feelings instead of the thoughts that were running through her mind. ‘How come you suddenly feel like this?’ I thought as I felt the intense anxiousness and helplessness in her heart. ‘What is it that you see for you to always feel these intense emotions?’ I closed my eyes before trying to ignore her feelings and focusing on her thoughts. ‘Ahh,’ I opened my eyes immediately as I read her thoughts. ‘So, in your visions, the lady would be ambushed on her way back to the castle?’ I dangerously narrowed my eyes. “This is indeed a serious matter,’ I thought. ‘But for you to be affected like this…’ ‘What a kind woman.’ Before I knew it, I was already patting the top of her head. My action seemed to surprise Lia and effectively brought her back to reality with me. ‘Will you also look at me with admiration if I manage to help you with this?’ I thought as I met Lia’s surprised gaze.
‘Hmmm, yes. I wonder,’ I thought. Without thinking much about it anymore, I was already sending a glance to the overly dramatic prince who was about to walk out. “Your highness, prince Halen,” I called his name and Halen suddenly froze. “Ah… I know already… Well then… I’ll see you next time,” Halen spoke without turning around. He was planning on running away right after speaking.
Lia needed his assistance so he could not go like that. So, I moved. In just a split second, I was in front of Halen, blocking his exit.
