The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story novel Chapter 138

Chapter 0138 

+15 BOHUS 

Joseph’s smile was twisted with cruelty. It deeply unnerved me. This man was not a noble himself, simply employed by them. He must have been like Lena, a traditionalist. Someone who wanted to uphold the way things had always been, rather than accepting necessary changes. 

I hated that such ideals constantly placed me in danger. I was merely a girl caught up in it all. I had been chosen by the selection. It wasn’t like any of this was my direct choice. 

Glancing across the room, I noticed Nicholas locked in conversation with Lilliana. He seemed entirely bored but dutifully gave her his attention anyway. He hadn’t noticed the intimidating way Joseph was 

clutching my arm. I couldn’t expect a rescue this time. 

I cleared my throat, attempting to gather my courage. Joseph was making threats. I couldn’t simply 

cower under them, or he would know how much they affected me. 

“Don’t I have to do something wrong to be sent to the dungeons?” I asked. 

His eyes narrowed. “It’s only a matter of time.” 

“No, I’m fairly certain that Piper is right,” Julian said, suddenly appearing beside me. “Unless they 

changed the rules in the past few minutes while I was in the bathroom?” Brow raised high, he looked at 

me and then at Joseph. “No? Didn’t think so.” 

“Prince Julian, perhaps you misheard me,” Joseph began. 

Julian shut him down straight away. “No, I don’t think I did.” He pointed to where Joseph gripped my 

arm. “No, maybe you’d like to release Piper and move a few feet away. Or more.” 

Joseph’s face scrunched up like he wanted to argue, but what could he say to one of the princes he was 

charged with protecting? 

I somehow manage to hide my own smirk as Joseph complied. He dropped my arm like it had burned 

him and backed away exactly three feet. He continued to glare daggers at me. 

“I don’t think he likes me,” I whispered to Julian, who laughed, bright and boisterous. 

I 

“No, it doesn’t seem like he does. I had better stay near you, then, to help fend him off, as it seems my brother is otherwise occupied.” 

I glanced at Nicholas again. He was rubbing his forehead now. 

“I feel bad for him,” I said.

“Ah. So you’ve spoken with Lilliana then.” 

That remark wasn’t kind to Lilliana, though it was absolutely the truth. Still, I decided it better not to 

agree or disagree. 

Julian just looked at me and then laughed again. 

Nathan signaled it was time for Linda to begin, and she moved at once, collecting her supplies. She set 

the stove to boil the eggs. 

“Nothing quite like watching water boil,” Julian whispered to me. “Except perhaps watching grass grow.”
