"There won't be another woman who's as good as you, sweetheart…"
"How are you going to repay me then? Hahaha…”
Aurelia nearly threw up from where she was on the bed.
She could clearly hear the pair make out, and they seemed to have gone out before louder moans came from next door.
Aurelia's heart thumped. She carefully removed her blindfold and looked around. The room was on the second floor.
She did not know the building's structure, and there might be guards downstairs. She might as well jump down from here.
A few seconds of hesitation later, she made up her mind with closed eyes and jumped off the window! She sprained her ankle but could care less about the pain as she ran forward with all her might.
Living 18 years in Melorian, she was long familiar with the streets there, even those anonymous alleys.
Aurelia turned left and right, not daring to look back or stop. She did not know how long she had been running when she finally arrived at the main road.
It was midnight, but the busy city center was still bustling with life.
Aurelia hid in the crowd and panted harshly, finally able to slow down.
A few steps later, though, a hand suddenly held her shoulder.
Aurelia screamed and felt her heart leaping out. She snapped around and grabbed the hand to bite it.
"Argh!"
She froze and loosened her jaw. Why did the voice… sound so familiar?
She looked up timidly and saw herself being surrounded by bodyguards, who were all staring at her in disbelief.
The man she had bitten was speechless in pain, glaring back at her as he covered the back of his hand.
"U-Uncle!" Aurelia was frozen for a moment before she mewled shakily like a kitten.
